Some of those calls were total bullsh*t though. Like Leonhard's only one, the Braylon roughing the kicker, Drew Coleman's holding, Cromartie's PI in Denver, just to name a few.

True, but there's enough non-BS calls in there to make this a legitimate point of interest.

And there goes "Dick" Cimini focusing on the negative yet again. You would think we were 0-6 or something. They're 5-1 and he hasn't written one positive article yet.

The Jets are one of the most penalized, undisciplined teams in the NFL. You you have an issue when a writer brings this up?

Highly penalized? Maybe. Undisciplined? No. Most of their penalties are not of the idiotic hit after the whistle type like the Giants get. They come from the system. When a CB is left on an island, and with all the rules against illegal contact, CB's are likely to get PI flags.

What about all the false start penalties?

That's not a function of discipline?

suck it

Jets had a rocky start.

In their last three games, the Jets and Pats are both averaging 5.3 penalties per game.

Nice to see you adding to your lame troll repertoire, though.

[BroadwayJ667]

somebody has nothing to write about. The Jets penalties have been declining since the first two weeks.

Last week is a wash for me, they were on a short week, in denver, against a good team.

Blow a goat Cimini

[bitonti]

the Jets have been getting some flag happy crews

[Greenranger]

14 in week 1

6 in Week 2

9 in week 3

4 in week 4

6 in week 5

6 in week 6

From memory I can remember, at least 11 of those were bad calls. That brings it down to average of 5.6 a game.

What are you basing this on, how many does the Oline have compared to the other teams?

11 penalties on the Oline out of almost 400 plays this season does not seem bad to me, but I guess I am just a homer.

And yet the Patsies are carrying the JETS jock strap in AFC East!

I posed a serious question to the previous poster.

Why do Jets fans get all bent out of shape when a writer brings up valid issues?

Care to take a stab at a response slats?

Bingo, Jets had the same crew twice who call the most penalties in the NFL.

90% of the columns Dick Cimini write are negative. During a bye week, all he's been focusing on is the negative. You would think we weren't 5-1. By comparison, another beat writer wrote a nice article about one of the Jets' players sticking around during the bye week and visiting some kids with special needs. THAT is what I want to read about during the bye week. Not focusing on the negative.

Then again, I don't know why I'm responding to you anyway. You'll just reply with some lame troll attempt again. You and Cimini have one thing in common...your first names.
