The 2005 NFL season was a nightmare for the New York Jets.  Their starting QB, Chad Pennington, was sidelined for the season with shoulder surgery.  Their starting RB, Curtis Martin, finally began showing his age and he rushed for under 1000 yards for the first time in his career.  They finished the season 4-12 and fired head coach Herman Edwards.  Serious changes were about to be made in the Jets organization.
