Thank You New York Jets
The 2009-2010 season was the greatest season in my life as a New York Jets fan.
I just want to say thank you to all of the players and coaches who have made this regular season captivating and the improbable playoff run riveting and unforgettable.
The future of the Jets looks bright, but before everyone starts talking about all the positives for next season, we should reflect on a few of the thrilling moments and lasting impressions with which the Jets players thoroughly entertained us with this entire year. Their skill and passion for the game alongside the cockiness and bravado made being a Jets fan this year something truly special.
Big, Loud, and Proud Rex Ryan proclaiming confidence like the clear favorite in the face of unimaginable odds. And for proclaiming us dead when we actually had a faint heartbeat.
Mark Sanchez going through every phase of being a rookie while saving his best for when it mattered most. Two playoff victories ties Joe Flacco for most ever by a rookie and his AFC Championship game performance was truly magnificent.
Being 23 minutes away from the Superbowl. Next year lets get some home playoff games – in our brand new stadium!!!
Revis Island. Single handedly making defense cool.
The entire defense. Witnessing that level of play week in and week out made me believe in stops and not just hope for them.
Running the football. Old School football is still relevant and Thomas Jones, Shonn Greene and Leon Washington were the best at it.
Braylon Edwards. Braylon we new you were due for a big catch, but the 80 yard AFC Championship game touchdown reception from Mark Sanchez was even beyond our wildest imagination. We all witnessed the longest offensive play in New York Jets playoff history. That trade was awesome.
Jerricho Cotchery. Love the toughness, soft hands and intelligence you bring to the table.
Dustin Keller you are a huge part of our future, and your three touchdowns during the playoffs makes you a top flight tight-end.
The Owner and General Manager for assembling an all star cast of players that appears to be primed for a good run in the near future.
The fans for chanting J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets loud, real loud. And to Fireman Ed for telling us when to do so.
I know I am proudly riding the Green Wave on the new era Jets.
Thank You,
Robert, lifelong Jets fan
