NEW YORK, N.Y. - One more week. One final game.Thats all
that might be left in Rex Ryans tenure as coach of the
New York Jets, with his future uncertain beyond Sundays
season finale at Miami against the Dolphins.Sweeping
changes could be on tap for the Jets, who are 3-12 after
a 17-16 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday and
finishing out a fourth straight season without a playoff
appearance.Owner Woody Johnson could opt to clean house
next Monday by firing Ryan as well as general manager
John Idzik, pushing the reset button on the franchise.Im
not worried about a coaching change or whatever, Ryan
said during a conference call Monday. Im not even
worried. Im just looking forward to the opportunity thats
right in front of us, and thats playing against
Miami.Beyond that, of course, is anyones guess. Johnson
has been keeping his thoughts on the situation close to
the vest, but he cant be happy with what has transpired
on the field or off during the past few seasons.Four
years ago, the Jets were a win away from the Super Bowl.
Now, theyre among the teams with the worst records in the
NFL.I think when we look at this season and the games we
did lose, there were, in my opinion, a lot of games that
were decided by a couple of mistakes or a couple of
plays, left tackle DBrickashaw Ferguson said. It actually
makes me feel that if we were to overcome those mistakes
or made those plays at critical times, that wed be put in
a very different place.I dont think were far away. I
think a few key pieces is what we need.But Johnson could
determine that a few of those include a new coach and a
new general manager.Im not thinking about it, Ryan said.
Ive never worried about it, and wont. I know I have a job
to do, and I plan on doing it.Jets players have been
asked for weeks about the possibility of a coaching
change, which would lead to changes throughout the locker
room as well as the staff.I think the toughest part about
it is not being able to continue to play for the same
coach, the same guy that you learned to love, you invest
so much in, and you believe (in) them, quarterback Geno
Smith said. To reset and readjust is a tough thing to do,
but we are professionals and we have to do it.A change
could be good for us all, so if it happens, when it
happens, then well see.The players havent given up hope
that Ryan could return, but they know the decision is out
of their hands. They could, however, have better stated
their case on the field. The Jets two losses to the
Patriots this season were by a total of three points, and
seven of their 12 losses overall were by 10 or fewer
points.Ferguson is finishing his ninth season, all with
the Jets, and he went through a coaching change when Eric
Mangini was fired after the 2008 season. As a veteran
looking at the twilight of his career, hes wary of what
could be involved in a total shake-up of the
organization.I actually think if we preserve what we have
and just strategically make some switches here or there,
Ferguson said, wed be far better off than trying to clear
everything and start fresh.Its a sentiment shared by
several players throughout the locker room, but it might
not be enough to save Ryan or Idzik from the unemployment
line in less than a week.Hopefully we can just preserve
what we have and, if anything, Ferguson said, learn just
how to do what we do better and hopefully we wont have
another year that was like this.NOTES: Ryan said C Nick
Mangold has a bad sprain in his left ankle and tests
revealed no break. WR Percy Harvins ribs are extremely
sore after being injured Sunday. Ryan isnt sure of their
availability for Sunday. ... Ryan acknowledged the Jets
first considered having K Nick Folk try a pooch punt
before calling timeout and asking if Folk could make his
52-yard attempt that would have given the Jets a late
lead. Folk said yes, so Ryan had him try it — but it was
tipped by Vince Wilfork and fell short.___AP NFL website:

president Russ Brandon announced Wednesday that the team
is done playing regular-season home games in Toronto
after reaching an agreement with Rogers Communications to
terminate the four remaining years left on the series.The
decision did not come as a surprise after the Bills had a
1-5 record since the series was established with a five-
year agreement in 2008. The Bills and Rogers then reached
another five-year deal in 2013 to extend the series.Last
month, new Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula told The
Associated Press they were negotiating to cancel the
series. In March, the Bills and Rogers postponed playing
this years game to evaluate and determine how to improve
the atmosphere of games played in Torontos downtown domed
Rogers Centre.Following a 34-31 overtime loss to Atlanta
last year, Brandon and Bills players complained about
giving away home-field advantage by playing in front of
small and relatively indifferent crowds in
Toronto.Receiver Steve Johnson questioned whether the
warm-weather Falcons fixed the schedule in getting to
play indoors. Center Eric Wood had referred to the games
in Toronto as a joke.We greatly appreciate the support
weve received over the past seven years from all of the
tremendous people at Rogers Communications, Brandon said
in a statement released by the team Wednesday. We will
continue to work hard to solidify our footprint in
southern Ontario.In becoming the NFLs first team to play
annual games outside of the United States, the Bills
llaunched the series in a bid to increase their exposure
and build their fan base in Canadas largest city and
financial capital.dddddddddddd. Toronto is about a two-
hour drive from Buffalo and counted as part of the Bills
market.The Bills did get an initial windfall after Rogers
agreed to pay the team $78 million to essentially lease
eight games: five in the regular season and three in the
preseason. That was almost double what the Bills were
projected to generate if those games were played at their
home, Ralph Wilson Stadium.The Bills also experienced a
bump in selling tickets to Canadians. Last year, the team
estimated that southern Ontario fans accounted for about
18 per cent of its season-ticket sales, surpassing their
support from nearby Rochester.The series, however, never
paid off in wins for the Bills or generated a buzz in
Toronto.High ticket prices, initially averaging about
$180, a lengthy playoff drought that began in 2000 and
the lack of atmosphere in the cavernous domed stadium
contributed to the series lack of success.The announced
crowd of 38,969 for last years game against Atlanta was
by far the smallest of the series, and well short of the
stadiums NFL capacity of 46,470, not including suites.
Rogers did announce the first four regular-season games
had been sellouts before later acknowledging the totals
included thousands of free tickets.The games also
attracted a larger than usual contingent of visiting team
supporters.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and
