The New York Jets had an epic victory at the expense of their most hated rivals, the New England Patriots. Rex Ryan made it personal between him and Bill Belichick and on this day he out coached him by a wide margin. The Jets defense dominated this game and Mark Sanchez had a magical performance throwing three touchdowns.

28-21. A score for the ages, in what is according to Rex Ryan the second biggest game in franchise history. The fact is, this next game against the Steelers will push this win to third, because the game against the Steelers is for the right to go to the Superbowl in Dallas.

Talking smack is cool now! With this being a copycat league, won’t the Rex Ryan and New York Jets players smack talk become the ‘in’ thing to do in the NFL?

Pretty boy Tom Brady is starting to lose his charm after two years straight of being knocked out of the playoffs in their first game, both at home. But tonight, new stars of the AFC shown brightly.

LT played another heck of a game,  scoring his third touchdowns in the playoffs.

Shonn Greene had a heck of a game, running for the score that broke open the game late.

Santonio Holmes made a historic, epic reception in the corner of the endzone, then got his two feet in bounds a split second before landing out of bounds. Holmes once before made an immaculate catch, a pass from Big Ben while playing for Pittsburgh in the Superbowl. That day he won the game for them, and tonight his incredibly difficult touchdown catch adds to his legacy of making the biggest plays at the biggest moments.

Jets Defense played so well, frustrating Brady,  sacking him several times, forcing fumbles, producing some hard hits time and again, and catching a game changing interception early on.  Smith, Scott, Ellis, Revis and Cromartie amongst others had amazing performances. This was a total team effort, and truly the Jets defense stepped up.

Jerricho  Cotchery had a huge catch and run that was so timely.

Braylon Edwards had a huge catch that got Sanchez in a groove.

Mark Sanchez again played great. 4 playoff wins in his first 2 seasons. This kid played at an ultra high level. The offensive line protected him well and gave him time to make some fantastic decisions and throws.

The Offensive Line played strong, allowing the Jets running backs the opportunity to gain yards repeatedly by running the football.

The coaches coached great. From exceptional special teams, to the variety of offensive play calls, to the perfect mixture of defensive blitzes and strong pass coverage choices the New York Jets coaching staff did a fantastic job.

The list of great performances today goes on and on. This was a total team effort.

The AFC Championship Game against Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh for the right to go to the Superbowl in Dallas.

The New York Jets verse the New England Patriots game in Foxborough on Sunday, January 16, 2011 is one of the most historic games in franchise history. The Jets are made to win now, and this win would be monumental.

Pittsburgh awaits the winner for the right to go to the Superbowl in Dallas.

Lets Go Jets!

This game is gonna be epic. I know we have what it takes to win this game.

J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets!

A total team effort and the Jets have done it.

Epic Playoff Victory

It is personal.

Peyton Manning has to be pressured, hit and sacked. The Jets secondary, running game, O-line, D-line, special teams, wide receivers and the Sanchise have to dig deep and put on their best performance.

This win would be epic. A loss would be an epic failure.

A great regular season rapped up for the NY Jets finishing with an impressive blowout performance against the hapless Buffalo Bills. The Jets finish 11-5 there best regular season record in a long, long time.

The win is a positive going into a huge test in the playoffs. The Jets are the 6th seed going against the 3rd seeded Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning has home field advantage.

A rematch of the AFC Title game that brought the Jets, who were leading during the 3rd quarter, a few plays away from playing in the Superbowl and making history.

The Buffalo Bills are coming to town. Remarkably though, this game has virtually no bearing on the Jets season, as they are pretty locked in for the 6th seed and probably will be playing the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead during wild card weekend.

As unusual as anything in sports, having the last wild card spot set before the last week of the season. Usually, two or more teams are fighting for that last wild card spot on the last Sunday of the regular season. In the NFC, the Buccaneers, Giants and the Packers all have a shot at the last spot. On the other hand, the Jets can essentially use week 17 in the NFL as a glorified bye week.

Well, any game against the ridiculously poor (but were playing better) Buffalo Bills really is always a glorified bye week.

The New York Jets were in an absolute shoot out against the Chicago Bears.

That is right, the super Jets defense and the super Chicago defense let opposing offenses go up and down the field all day. At the end, the Chicago Bears defense finally stepped up and kept the Jets from scoring a touchdown late and held on to a 38-34. A lot of scoring, especially by the Bears in the 3rd quarter, exposed both teams defenses. Some would say that the offensive play calling on both sides could be a blue print on how to beat the Jets and Bears in the playoffs.

Jets were upset they loss. Until LT screamed and danced his way into the middle of the locker room to let everyone know the Washington Redskins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in overtime, which was one of the playoff cinching scenarios for the Jets should they lose today. This is big because the Jets have a chance now to win a Superbowl, and as the likely 6th seed will have week 17 to rest their players before their first round playoff game which most likely will be against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Mark Sanchez and the wide receivers looked good. LT got the job done. Keller dropped a touchdown, but in general the offense was clicking on all cylinders and the play calling was one step ahead of the defense all day. The Jets special teams were good like usual, with Brad Smith doing his big return, this time for a touchdown, thing. The defense had a interception return for a touchdown, but once Jay Cutler settled down he started airing it out for long strikes over and over.

The Jets are in the playoffs and that is all that matters. Hopefully, they can use these next two weeks to tighten up that defense in preparation for the Chiefs, who not only have the best rushing attack in the NFL but also have a pretty decent aerial attack as well.

The New York Jets have lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles 11 times during the regular season when playing in Pennsylvania.

That streak is now over after the New York Jets got a huge win 22-17 when nobody thought it was going to happen. With plenty of distractions and of course the formidable Steelers defense, the New York Jets found a way to win, albeit barely as Big Ben had a few chances for a game winning touchdown at the end of the game. The Jets defense held, and the now the Jets team is on the verge of a playoff spot.

NEW YORK JETS Playoff Picture
The New York Jets clinch a playoff spot with a:

1) NYJ win or tie
2) JAC loss or tie
3) IND loss or tie

Gotta love those chances! Now we should all be focusing on the upcoming game in Chicago, in which the Bears have gone from surprise team to Superbowl contenders, but it is probably all smoke and mirrors as hopefully the Jets will reveal on Sunday.

Shout Out to Jason Taylor! What a huge sack in the end zone for a safety. That was the play of the game. Keep up the awesome play Jason Taylor.

If you haven’t heard, allegedly Rex Ryan’s wife has some serious foot fetish issues, which would be perfectly OK had she not somehow managed to allow a half-dozen videos of said foot fetish to surface on the Internet. Rex Ryan seems to always be trying to do something to put the focus on him and take the pressure off the team, but I can’t give him ‘props’ for this one as Ryan and his wife’s obsession with her feet is just embarrassing.

When you lose to the Miami Dolphins the loss hurts. When the Miami Dolphins punter practically beats you single handedly then the loss drives you nuts.

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins beat the New York Jets 10-6 in New York in a game that may cost the Jets to miss the playoffs.

With three games remaining, the Jets have to find a way to win a game at Pittsburgh or at Chicago. Both tasks look daunting considering the Jets offense is so out of sync. If a receiver is wide open, Mark Sanchez misfires with overthrown passes. If the Mark Sanchez throws a great pass to a receiver, then the receiver drops the pass. Most notably was Santonio Holmes drop in the end zone during the 2nd period. He was so open and the pass thrown so softly that that pass would be caught 99 out of 100 times easily.

This loss to the Dolphins stings because now the Jets are in a world of trouble and no longer appear to be able too find ways to win. In fact, the Jets offense seems to have been figured out and their defense isn’t as feared as it once was.

Somehow, the Jets need to play much better because the game against Pittsburgh means so much.

The 45-3 Monday Night Football game against the New England Patriots shows the Jets have some real issues.

Defensively, offensively, special teams, coaching and probably the water boy had their worst game of the season. This happened all at the same time with 12 yard punts, decisions to kick into the wind from 53 yards away, to Sanchez throwing passes to Patriot defenders just standing there waiting for the ball. Add to that, receivers dropping passes, the running game stuck in neutral and our defensive secondary just being brutally beat by 2nd and 3rd tier receivers and rookie tight ends.

This game was a disaster for the Jets, but playing on the road in New England is never easy and it is now looking likely that the Patriots will win the AFC East the Jets may end up playing them in the playoffs, in New England.
