  Feeling Fine... Just Fine

  Oct 2, 202640 minS3

  On a scale of 1 to 10, the crew is feeling very 4th-quarter-Jets. This week, Joe, Matt, and Alana break down a surprisingly tight 31-24 loss to the Detroit Lions. Was it a moral victory or familiar heartbrk? We talk Geno’s late fumble, electric 100-yard days for Garrett Wilson and Kenyon Sadiq, injury updates on Breece Hall, and that bizarre dropkick attempt. Plus around the NFL: Jameis wins, the Giants trade for JJ McCarthy, Drake Maye’s 6-INT nightmare in New England, and potential trade buzz around Marvin Harrison Jr. Finally, we preview a tricky matchup against Case Keenum and the Chicago Bears before dropping our score predictions.

  Jets Eulogy: Burying The Jets 2025 Season Deep Underground

  Jan 9, 202637 minS2

  This week on Three Cranky Jets Fans , we hold a solemn—but deeply sarcastic—funeral for the 2025 New York Jets season. Joe opens the show with a full eulogy for a year that began with cautious optimism and ended in historic misery. Blowout losses, missed tackles, errant passes, and shattered dreams are laid to rest beneath the foul stench of the Meadowlands. After welcoming the remaining members of Jets Nation, Joe, Matt Callahan, and Alana Close-Morone turn the episode into a full-on group therapy session. Topic 1: Joe recaps the unthinkable 3–14 season and explains why this team belongs in the same historical dumpster as the worst Jets teams of all time. No interceptions. Record-setting blowouts. A finish so bad it rewrote the history books. Topic 2: Matt runs through the league’s post-season coaching carnage—seven head coaches fired—and marvels at how Aaron Glenn somehow survives it. From Harbaugh to Daboll to Carroll, it’s a bloodbath… just not in Florham Park. Topic 3: Alana looks ahead to the offseason chaos: trades, free agency, the second overall pick, and whether there’s anyone worth keeping. The crew plays armchair GM, debates veteran QBs, rookie development, roster depth, and the overwhelming need for… well, an entire defense. Finally, the big question: Who’s really to blame? (Spoiler: Woody Johnson’s name comes up.) We close out the episode thanking listeners for sticking through a strange season of Jets football and podcasting alike. Follow, review, and join us again as draft season approaches—maybe before, maybe after, maybe both. Until then: harden your hearts… and don’t buy any Jets merch.

  Swept! Jets Dismantled By Miami

  Dec 12, 202524 minS2

  The Jets keep finding new ways to test the limits of loyalty, and this week is no different. On this episode of Three Cranky Jets Fans , Joe Close-Morone and Matt Callahan hold down the fort while Alana battles through an illness (don’t worry, she’ll live to rant another day). We start with a painful recap of the Jets’ latest disaster against the Miami Dolphins, a 34–10 loss that somehow felt even worse than the score. We break down the lone bright spot—a punt return touchdown by Isaiah Williams—along with shaky quarterback play, the mysterious “phantom” injury to Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor’s role, and the bigger question no one wants to ask: does it even matter who the QB is at this point? From there, Matt takes us around the league for some of the most noteworthy (and ridiculous) NFL moments of the week. The Chiefs stumble, the Colts lose Daniel Jones and summon 44-year-old Philip Rivers out of retirement, and somehow this chaos might still help the Jets thanks to that extra first-round pick from the Sauce Gardner trade. Meanwhile, the rest of the AFC East looks annoyingly competent—because of course they do. Finally, we preview Jets @ Jaguars, and… yeah, it’s bleak. Trevor Lawrence is playing better, the Jags look legit, and the Jets look like they’re heading for another long Sunday. We debate the quarterback situation, set expectations appropriately low, and lock in some truly grim predictions. Stick around to the end for our trademark send-off, questionable optimism, and a reminder that hope may be dead for now—but there’s always 2026. [Music intro] Music by FASSounds from Pixabay

  Dead Inside Dolphins

  Dec 5, 202549 min

  We’re back! After a brief, totally reasonable scheduling meltdown, the Three Cranky Jets Fans have returned to restore order to your football-loving hearts. Joe Close-Morone, Matt Callahan, and Alana Close-Morone reunite to catch up on life, Thanksgiving, and—of course—the emotional roller coaster that is New York Jets football. In this episode, we break down: 🔥 Jets vs. Falcons Recap The Jets won a football game—yes, really. A 56-yard game-winner from the ageless Nick Folk, a bomb from Tyrod to Adonai Mitchell, and more signs of life from a team that usually specializes in heartbreak. 🤯 Around the NFL: AFC Mayhem Matt takes us on a journey through the completely unhinged AFC landscape. The Chiefs might miss the playoffs, the Broncos are the “number one seed” (?!), and the Bills and Ravens are… whatever they are. Thankfully, the Jets remain consistently inconsistent—our only remaining constant. 🐬 Jets vs. Dolphins Preview Alana sizes up Miami’s trip to the swamps of New Jersey. Will the Jets slow down Devon Achane? Can Tua gift us our long-awaited interception? And do Jets fans even want to win at this point? Plus, score predictions—and a strange, existential moment from Matt involving “dead inside the dolphins.” As always, we wrap with listener love, some cautious optimism, and a reminder not to hold your breath for next week’s game.
