Mark Sanchez News

Don't fret, New York Jets fans...it probably doesn't mean too much to them. After all, it's not as if the New England Patriots had to spend the entire offseason hearing chatter from East Rutherford about incoming coach Rex Ryan's plans to win a Super Bowl before the end of Barack Obama's first term.

The NFL fined Jaguars safety Reggie Nelson $7,500 for roughing the passer, a league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora .

Late Sunday night Bill Belichick felt like crying. Monday morning Rex Ryan did. That's the difference between having three Super Bowl rings and having none.

If he could turn back time, would Bill Belichick reconsider his decision to gamble on 4th-and-2 from his own 28 with a 34-28 lead over Peyton Manning and the Colts? "Would I reconsider it?" says Belichick.

Rex Ryan stepped to the podium and motioned for a staffer to hand him something.

Jets rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez says he made a mistake opening his postgame press conference by reading from a prepared statement.

The Jacksonville Jaguars handed the New York Jets their third straight home defeat as Josh Scobee kicked a winning 21-yard field goal as time expired, while the New Orleans Saints won 28-23 at St.

I want you to know that I tried. I thought long and hard, looked far and wide, searched up and down.

The Jets offense seemingly did enough to win - giving the team a 22-21 lead with 5:04 remaining.

It could have been any Jets head coach standing there, anyone after Weeb Ewbank, standing there shell-shocked and devastated.

Consider this delicious scenario: The Jets beat the Jaguars today at Giants Stadium, the Patriots lose to the Colts tonight and - voila! - next week the Jets play the Patriots in Foxborough,, Mass., for first place in the AFC East.

Jets vs. Jaguars Giants Stadium, Sunday, 1 p.m. TV: Ch. 2 Early line: Jets by 6 1/2 Not only do the Jets need a win after dropping four of their last five games, they also need to reestablish their home-field advantage.

Jets linebacker Vernon Gholston was listed as doubtful Friday for Sunday's game against the Jaguars because of a strained hamstring.

Rex Ryan wants results, not excuses. The New York Jets coach wasn't happy with his team's effort near the end of practice Thursday and let them know it.

This isn't quite where the Jacksonville Jaguars or New York Jets expected to be at this point in the season.

It isn't fair to ask Mark Sanchez to take the Jets to the playoffs now - especially as he celebrates his 23rd birthday today.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Mark Sanchez balanced his duties last week as the scout team quarterback for his old high school and the starter for the New York Jets.

Quarterback Mark Sanchez #6 of the New York Jets looks to throw the ball down field while under pressure from Gerris Wilkinson #59 and Mathias Kiwanuka #94 of the New York Giants during a preseason game at Giants Stadium on August 29, 2009 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

JP Pelzman writes that the Gholston has been something of a "elephant in the room" for the Jets coaching staff .

So Rex Ryan still thinks the New York Jets are better than Miami after absorbing a season sweep by the Dolphins.
