PrintFrom the sound of things and the way some of the players are talking, Kris Jenkins' season may (repeat may) be over with a knee injury.
This was just tweeted by Jets beat writer Rod Boone. This is huge news, for my money the most important person on the Jets roster. If his season is done, it makes me think that our season is done.

It sure would be a tough blow. I felt like we needed to do more to address the line in the offseason.

Absolutely
We also just released DT Howard Green didn’t we, so line was even thinner today which didn’t help.

I thought Pouha played really well, but let’s be honest. Buffalo’s offensive line is one of the worst in the league.

Pouha wasn't bad
but like you say, against a better offensive line, and that means every team we play this year, he won’t be very effective. Also when he needs a breather we are in trouble.
Let’s hope that Jenkins is not done

I will say this. I think Pouha’s been vastly improved this year. Last year it felt like every time I watched him, he was getting pushed 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. He’s stouter this year. That’s a credit to the coaching staff.
And yes, Kris will be in my prayers tonight.

How Long Have You Guys Been Jets Fans?
If there is a possibility of Jenkins being out for the season, he’s out for the season. Its just the way it is when you are a Jets fan. Anything that can go wrong, will. We really are the Chicago Cubs Of Football.
I love Jenkins...
…but it just seems like he has a hard time making it through a season without, at the very least, getting nicked up with injuries. It’s the downside of his freakish size and strength – lots of strain on the joints I suppose. If he is lost for the year, there will literally be a huge hole in the defensive interior. Sigh…

Bad Position
My first thoughts when I saw Jenkins go down was “he’s tired again, he does this every game” obviously that was wrong, but it was a weird instinct since he has done 2 or 3 times already this year, taken a few plays off, then come back in.
My larger point though is that if you’re single most important person on the roster, one without whom your team’s season is done, is as injury prone as Jenkins then you’re in a really bad position at the beginning of the year. If the Jets can’t win without him, you can’t expect to have a good year next year either.
Like John Said
We didn’t do enough to bolster the defensive line this off-season. I think we all knew coming in that we were one injury on either line away from being average or even worse.

To be honest, I totally saw this coming
He hasn’t been 100% for the last few games as it was, it seemed to me. It was only a matter of time that he was going to break down. :(
