Don’t look now, but those recent bunglers in Florham Park are starting to emit an old-timey feeling.
All the way back to 2009, in fact.
While it’s still a bit early to proclaim Todd Bowles’ first team as the scourge of the league, the one thing that can be said about the Jets as they enjoy this bye week at 3-1 is that they look an awful lot like Rex Ryan’s initial squad. And that’s a good thing because Ryan took that team to the first of consecutive AFC Championship game appearances.
Judging by their recent bulldozer job in London that brought an ignominious end to the Joe Philbin era in Miami and began that of ex-Giant and Dolphins tight ends coach Dan Campbell a day later, they will succeed this season in much the same way as Ryan did.
