Whatever the reasons, the Jets appear to be split more than most teams.

Instead the Jets appear to be circling the wagons and looking for positive signs.

Within the last week, the Jets have appeared to be shopping for another wide receiver.

Meanwhile, the Jets do not appear to be much further along in their search for a coach and a general manager.

But the numbers were overshadowed by the growing sense of urgency that the Jets finally seem to have accepted, and appear able to handle.

But the Jets now appear to be content to stay at the fourth spot.

At this point, the Jets appear to have elevated themselves in any number of ways.

The Jets appear to have competition for most of their candidates.

Going into yesterday's opener, the Jets appeared to be hanging, period.

Inconsistency is the mark of an average team, and at 4-4, the Jets certainly appear to be nothing more or less than that.
