Fans who are frustrated with the Jets' fall from a 3-0 start to 4-4 should take a look at the mess in Tampa Bay.

Rex Ryan opts to give reeling the New York Jets long break on bye week. Rex Ryan was not backing away from his original plans for the bye week or the playoffs.

The bye week for the Jets arguably begins now, since most players have already left the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, and runs through the weekend until they return a week from today.
