FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — It’s probably a good thing for Rex Ryan that he’s now a year removed from his time with the Jets. After all, the emotions of going against his team are no longer the open wound that festered in the run-up to last season’s meetings, especially that first one in November at MetLife Stadium.

“So much was made of last year going back there, and I get it,” Ryan said Tuesday on a conference call with Jets beat writers in advance of Thursday’s game at New Era Field outside Buffalo.
