Football Jets

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 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.

The Jets 28-14 absolute thrashing of the New England Patriots was awesome.

Tom Brady said he hates the Jets. Guess what, the Jets and their legion of fans hate New England and Tom Brady.
I know I am sick of the

Oh Brady is so perfect, he has the perfect wife, the perfect looks, the perfect passes.

Give me a break you Brady loving media. I know you media types are all upset, with now having to throw out those pre-written articles about the big talking arrogance of the Jets team, the fraternity house coaching style of Rex Ryan and the Mark Sanchez shows so little promise.
You were all wrong. And now you have to write the TRUTH! Can’t handle the TRUTH! Well, here it is for you. The Jets are for real, their quarterback is for real, LT still has plenty of game, the offensive and defensive lines can push people around, the Jets secondary isn’t only Revis Island and the head coach and offensive coordinator have real game plans that give this team a great chance to win every week.

Now that you have thrown away those bury the Jets articles, consider recycling them next time for another team whose headlines catch readers, the Dallas Cowboys.

Now break out the creativity in your thrashing of the New England Patriots whom you were so eager to dub AFC East champions after one lousy week in which they beat a team the Jets knocked out of the playoffs last year. Here are some headlines to start the thought process…

Tom Brady is Great… Against Bad Defenses

Bill Belichick is Great… When He is Able to Cheat

Randy Moss and Tom Brady Look Great… When Sulking Together on the Bench Late in the 4th Quarter

Jets D Shuts Out Patriots So Called High Powered Offense in 2nd Half… Without Revis

Mark Sanchez Leads the Jets to Victory with 3 Touchdowns… Looks Like a Potential Superbowl Winning Quarterback

Next Week’s Game is Huge… Dolphins Verse Jets for the AFC East Lead

We have to keep telling ourselves Mark Sanchez is just a rookie.

The problem is we were so caught up in the USC quarterback hype, the out of the gate 3 game win streak and the Sanchise that we seemed to have forgotten that Mark was just a rookie. Sanchez started just one season at USC. Basically he lacks experience and his learning on the job is giving him the experience he needs.

But wow, after that third game the defense and the running game made all of Jets Nation think that maybe, just maybe the stars were aligned and the Jets were going to do something special this season. Amazing things happen in sports all the time, and it just seemed like this was the Jets time.

At 4-6 and with Mark throwing 4 more interceptions against the New England Patriots this is obvious not the Jets time.

The New York Jets have to win football games. On Sunday they again found themselves playing catch-up and lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-22 at home. This difficult loss to swallow against a very average NFL team puts the Jets record at 4-5 and really diminishes any playoff aspirations for the team.

With only four wins and seven games remaining, the Jets will likely need to go what is seeminly improbable 6-1 the rest of the way to get to 10 wins which possibly would be enough to make the playoffs as a wild card. This game on Sunday was tough, as Quarterback Mark Sanchez orchestrated a go ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter to take the lead. The defense, which started the game very slow but was starting to produce results in the second half were unable to stop the Jaguars on their final drive. Big play after big play the Jaguars marched down the field. At the end was a Maurice Jones-Drew rush that looked like an easy touchdown run but he intelligently and unselfishly took a knee at the one yard line. By doing so, the Jaguars were able to drain the last couple minutes of the clock before kicking the chip shot go-ahead field goal as time expired. The brilliant heads up play prevented Sanchez from getting another opportunity.

This loss hurts and without going into details about how the Jets squandered opportunities within the game to get a must needed win Football Jets wants to cry.

But that is too late as Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan has already been crying about the game and the team. In front of the entire team during the morning meeting following this loss Rex Ryan had an emotional moment that brought him to tears. Ryan thinks the Jets are much better than their 4-5 record and the 5 losses over the last 6 games against mostly very average  opponents. Ryan will need to save any hope for the playoffs by going to New England and facing Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and a fan base which is still spinning from the Sunday night meltdown by the coach and team against the undefeated Indianapolis Colts. The decision to go for it on their own 28, up by 6 points and with just a couple of minutes remaining was hugely controversial and in my honest opinion borderline idiotic.

A two score lead was not enough for the New England Patriots to beat the upstart Denver Broncos. The ex-assistant coach under Belichick made his old master his bitch by winning the game. Broncos Coach Josh McDaniel then proceeded to celebrate by Incredible Hulk style ripping off his shirt and jubilantly giving high-fives to the entire locker room. Almost Jets Coach Rex Ryan-esque energy, enthusiasm, cockiness, and trash talking abilities. This was obviously not just another game.

Josh McDaniel Celebrates Beating Bill Belichick

Meanwhile, the old Bill Belichick put on that usual scour as he ran off the field after the overtime field goal by the Broncos sailed through the upright to the delight of a huge crowd in Colorado. You know he was pissed that Quarterback Kyle Orton outplayed Tom Brady. You know he was pissed his one time prodigy Coach McDaniel just beat him on national television. You know he was pissed the Jets can take a lead in the AFC East Division by beating the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.
