The Jets will catch a break weather wise on Monday.  In their first two games of the season the average field temperature was 98 degrees.  They can expect it to be in the upper 60's come game time Monday night.  Also, with the three hour time differential, it will feel more like a afternoon game than a Monday night game.

The Chargers face two beatable teams next-Oakland and Miami, then have to play New England in San Diego and Buffalo on the road, and then the Saints right before they have their bye week.  If they loose to the Jets on Monday night, I can see them going to 2-6 at the bye.

The Patriots have been upset by the Dolphins in the past, so don't rule out an upset this weekend.

So far the Jets have been slow in getting their defense off the field late in the game, and they have not yet done a good enough job getting it done in the second half.  Penalties have hurt them in each of their two games.  The Jets seem tired mentally and physically.  So you tell me, was it a good idea for  coach Eric Mangini to lighten up on the players in training camp and shorten practices?

Player notes:  Bryan Thomas seems to have gotten the message.  The money we spent on Kris Jenkins was well worth it.  Calvin Pace is as advertised.  The Jets are currently ranked 6th in the NFL in rushing yards allowed.

Jet web site notes: The Jets have brought in another writer (?) to their site whose credentials include playing ultimate Frisbee and snowboarding.  I guess someone in the organization lost a bet because this is a slap in the face to journalism.

Jets flight crew notes: The Jets Flight Crew unveiled their new uniforms last week.  Does it look like they are wearing diapers?  You tell me.
