The New York Jets are off to a 2-4 start this season. The offense has failed to start firing on all cylinders on a consistent basis. Their recent trade for Davante Adams brings hope that the offense will start putting up more points.
However, now there is a new off-the-field allegation that will once again draw attention away from the game.
Jets’ Organization Being Accused Of Serious Allegations
As the 2024 regular season gets underway, Jets superfan Ed Anzalone, known as “Fireman Ed”, accused the team of “phasing” him out:
A longtime fan of the New York football team, Fireman Ed is easily recognizable with his customized Jets firefighter hat and Bruce Harper jersey. Ed leads the booming “J-E-T-S! JETS! JETS! JETS!” and is frequently shown on the video boards at MetLife Stadium to fire up the crowd.
Apparently, fellow Gang Green supporters have noticed that Anzalone hasn’t been showcased as much during Jets home games this year. It got to the point where the 65-year-old fan decided to address the matter in an Instagram video, where he expressed confusion about being “phased” out by the team:
“I’ve been getting a lot of emails and texts from fans about the Jet experience in the stadium with the big screens. Last night in particular — although on the Denver game also — last night in particular [the Jets] scored a touchdown and normally as a tradition we’re always put on the screen.”
“I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but they’re phasing us out. I’d like to know if somebody knows anything, please let me know, because it’s evident that it’s happening.
And it needs to stop because we need home-field advantage. That’s what we have and we need to keep it going. Something is going on, so please let me know if you know something.”
It’s indeed bizarre that the Jets football team has broken tradition without a clear-cut explanation to Fireman Ed. Longtime supporters will note that he quit on the team in 2012 following the infamous Mark Sanchez “Butt Fumble” Thanksgiving game, only to return three years later.

Despite a 2-4 record, there is plenty to be optimistic about heading into Week 7. In particular, Rodgers put up his best performance as a Jet against Buffalo’s stingy defense.
Davante Adams’ addition should help Buffalo find some offensive consistency they’ve lacked all season. Even at 2-4, the Jets are one game away from an AFC wild card spot.
