No timetable on how long he is out yet, but that would be a huge blow to that team if he misses any time.

I said before the season the Jets will miss the playoffs and I stand by it. Look at their next 7 games, they play us twice, Buffalo twice (which now looks more difficult than coming into the year), Baltimore, San Diego and a decent Oakland squad.

Without Mangold for some of that, they could go lose three or four of those games in that timespan. If the Jets do considerably better in that time, I'll eat crow. While our schedule is equally as tough, and maybe harder, we've fared well against comparable schedules for the past decade.

The Jets are incredibly thin. Injuries will destroy them. The past two years they have been incredibly lucky on that score.

I agree 100% with this.

If ever an NFL franchise richly deserved failure and futility, it's the New Jersey Green Beans. Mangold's a helluva player, too bad for him and them.

David Harris is reportedly playing hurt and they can ill afford to lose him.

They do have a backup Center-an UDFA rookie Colin Baxter

Hope he is out for an extended period of time. Yeah, I really do. Don't wish anything career threatening on him, though.

Oh, and to the Jets fans that are reading this (I know there are a lot of you), you can only be disgusted by this post if didn't fist pump when Brady went down in '08. So that should eliminate about 103% of you guys.

...who joined the team just two weeks ago after being cut by the Chargers. He should be starting against the Raiders, with DTs Tommy Kelly and Richard Seymour.

How about "I hope the Jets play it nice and conservatively with Mangold, to make sure he comes back 100%. Like, next season."

The Jets aren't going to miss the playoffs with their defense. Look at it this way. 6 playoff teams; NE, Balt, Hous, SD, Pitt and Jets. You tell me who will finish better than them? Jax, Indy, Denver, KC, Cincy, Cleveland and Miami are horrible. All could lose double digits. The AFC is really slipping. Tennessee, Oakland and Buffalo are the only ones left. Oakland has no pass defense and Jason Campbell at qb. I think Fitzy is a great story and Buffalo is on the upswing a little. I still don't see them as a .500 team. Only other possibility is the Titans. And, I don't see it.
