To the game: We will all remember this game for Brad Smith. Brad Smith has had some welcome to the NFL moments as NY Jet, basically because about 1/2 the time he touches the ball he is running for a big play with it. However, on Thanksgiving Brad Smith had 2 huge monsterous epic emotional ‘I can’t believe what I just saw’ moments. A long kickoff return and a long rushing touchdown that were instrumental accounting for more than half of the Jets 26 points.

What I love about Brad Smith is that he runs and protects the ball. The Dallas Cowboys lost a game they controlled because Roy Williams boneheaded one hand protecting the ball running style. Williams switched the ball from his one hand to the other moments before getting stripped at the end of the game. If he just holds the ball with two hands and falls down, the Cowboys win that game virtually everytime. Brad Smith protects the ball always, I like that. 53 yard end-around and a 89 yard kickoff return were a testament to his vision while running with the football.

The Jets defense showed up and dominated. Two interceptions, plenty of quarterback pressures and three sacks, one of which went for a huge 2 point conversion stretching the lead to 16. Revis Island embarrassed Terrell Owens. Coverage was so tight, T.O. only saw 6 passes come his way for 3 catches and a measly 17 total yards. T.O. said Revis is “just an average corner” so if that is the case, what makes you T.O.? – a very, very below average wide receiver because Revis Island has punked you the past 3 games you played against him.

Thanks Jets for delivering a not so pretty at times, but hard fought victory on Thanksgiving. Now, how about an early Christmas present by delivering a victory against the New England Patriots next week?

Happy Thanksgiving!

thanks NFL for scheduling this game.

Jets Defeat Bengals.

The New York Jets, who were way outside looking into the playoffs just a few weeks ago have now become the NFL Cinderella.

Total Team Effort. Sanchise Delivered. Defense Delivered. Running Game, Special Teams and Coaches Delivered. Dustin Keller Played Great. How about that for playoff experience for Mark Sanchez.

This win needs to be celebrated.

Love Rex Ryan. Before the game, the New York Jets coach did an indirect Joe Namath type guarantee by passing out a practice/off day schedule to the entire team through February 9, 2010 – the day of the Superbowl Parade.

Fireman Ed led energized Fans of Gang Green with heartfelt chants all game during the Jets 37-0 rout against the Bengals in the last game ever to be played at Giants Stadium (unless Baltimore and New York both advance to the AFC title game).

The total team effort and brilliant coaching job by Rex Ryan and his entire staff put the Jets in the playoffs. In remarkable fashion the Jets dominated the entire game against Cincinnati.

Cincinnati will be watching the game film. Next week it will be a rematch.

New York Jets at Cincinnati Bengals for the right to advance towards the Superbowl.

Sunday night thanks to flex scheduling.

Ochocinco is calling out possibly the All Pro defensive back Revis. But it is not only Revis who needs to have a good game. This is the last football game ever to be played at Giants Stadium. Let’s send it off with a bang. Making the playoffs would propel Jets fans’ hope to new heights for the near and foreseeable future. The Jets have been the beneficiaries of a lot of lucky things happening, but we need to finish it off by taking advantage of this chance.

Rush the ball. Play defense. Hope they pull their starters early.
