Football Jets

The New York Jets showed who the best team in the AFC East is today by going to Miami and thoroughly destroying the Miami Dolphins. Road wins mean a lot in the NFL, and the Jets sure made a statement.

Mark Sanchez 3 touchdowns gives him back to back 3 touchdown games. Sanchito has now torched the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.

Braylon Edwards might’ve been up partying all week, but he saved some energy for a huge touchdown catch that put the Jets up for good late in the game. All the smack talk from the Dolphin fans as they poured on Braylon Edwards for his mistake did not rattle him, instead he shut them up as he scampered down the sideline after sending a would be tackler to the ground with a great juke move.

LT is doing it old school, picking up huge gains on the ground and through the air which seemingly reach first down status every time he touches the ball.

Brad Smith is the ultimate secret weapon, running for long gains and making things happen in the return game.

Of course a shout out to our defense, which made a game saving goal line stand. Though Chad Henne played well most of the game for the Dolphins at quarterback, he lacks the poise and composure which Mark Sanchez flashes on an increasingly more consistent basis.

Dolphin fans who talked all off season about how you guys beat us twice, how we lucked into the playoffs and how Rex Ryan gave ya’ll the finger can now focus on how the Jets owned you today. Make no mistake, the Jets jumped out early and showed why they are the team to beat in the AFC East.

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

Revenge game against Oakland. Remember last year,

Most striking here is how dysfunctional the Oakland Raiders have become that their own fans don’t support the team. The only television black out in the NFL this week was Oakland verse New York. Over 20,000 fans less this year. Oakland’s owner gets a beating in the media, but recently has looked good with the circus the owner in Washington has created.

btw, why are we not flex scheduling Monday Night Football already. The Monday nights up till now have been great but this weeks matchup of Washington and Philadelphia was not a great idea.

Anyway,

Shonn Greene ran wild as the replacement for the injured Leon Washington. Two touchdown runs and way over a 100 yards. The Jets are now ranked as the number 1 rushing team in the NFL. We need to run it down Miami’s throat next week.

Mark Sanchez had a good game rushing for a touchdown. Seems he read FootballJets.com after the Miami debacle as we mentioned he should use his feet more.  A rushing touchdown is as good as a throwing touchdown Mark, if the defense is giving it to you then just walk it in. Sanchez also threw for a touchdown to David Clowney, a 35 yard pass that was David Clowney’s first NFL touchdown something not updated in Wikipedia.

The real story was the defense.

It took only a few minutes and the Jets defense had intercepted Oakland Raiders quarterback Jamarcus Russell twice setting up two easy touchdowns. 4 turnovers on the day for Oakland kept the Jets on the field and the few fans at the game taking off the silver face plant during halftime.

Head Coach Rex Ryan has put a defense in place that is good, very good. The defense shut down the Tennessee Titans in the fourth quarter as the Titans tried twice to get even. After stopping the Titans 2008 undefeated season with a shocking win last year, many of the talking heads thought that a team playing for their season would come in with revenge on their mind. Maybe the Titans did. But the 2009 New York Jets had 3-0 on their mind as well. Rising superstar quarterback Mark Sanchez threw for two touchdowns and had a highlight reel 15 yard touchdown run to lead the NY Jets to unexpected 3-0 start to the season. The three wins have come against high quality opponents and have given the NY Jets great momentum heading into next week’s game against the potent passing offense of Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints at the Superdome in New Orleans.

The defense looked OK for the first  three quarters. But when the thousands of Jets faithful needed the defense to rise to the occasion in the fourth quarter the Jets defense obliged by shutting down the Titans. Lineback David Harris had a sack and an interception during the fourth quarter to lead one of the NFL’s best defenses.

Head Coach Rex Ryan is 3-0 and sitting alone on top of the AFC east division. ”I’d like to say that this is exactly what I predicted, but we played three outstanding football teams”. The coach has a swagger about him that the players seem to be following. Some claim Rex Ryan has a big mouth, but when you can back it up with wins then it is easy to be confident. ”We’re 3-0 right here. Maybe that says something about us.”

Jerricho Cotchery caught both touchdown passes from Mark Sanchez and is quickly becoming his favorite target. The fourth quarter touchdown put the Jets in the lead for good giving the Jets their first come from behind victory of the season.

Jets Have Arrived Defensively. Through two games the Jets Defense has given up zero touchdowns. Tom Brady shut down and made to shut the #$%@ up.

Rex Ryan’s defense blitzed over half the plays putting Tom Brady on his ass and embarrasing the biggest cheater in sports Bill Belichick.

Jets defense Darrelle Revis shut down Randy Moss. Then Darrelle Revis intercepted a pass to Randy Moss because the Brady to Moss doesn’t happen in our house.

Rex Ryan called out every Jets fan. Jets fans responded loud and proud. Passionate Loudness was heard as far away as California making Brady look silly on a number of occassions.

Mark Sanchez has got all the “its” that he needs to be successful. But on opening day on the road at the Houston Texans Mark Sanchez showed the world that he was ready to bring “it” as the Jets start out the 209 NFL season with a huge road victory.

Mark Sanchez threw for 272 yards and a touchdown. The first 7 third down conversions were made by the Jets with the poise of Mark Sanchez moving around in the pocket, checking down, and finding the open receiver time and time again. 3rd and 10, no problem. 3rd and 10 again, no problem. 3rd and 8, no problem. 3rd and 10 again, no problem. Over and over Mark Sanchez silenced all his doubters and all those USC coaches (Pete Carroll) who thought he wasn’t ready for the NFL. Pete Carroll maybe if you had not sat Mark Sanchez on the bench for three years while John David Booty played maybe Mark would have been more willing to give you another year. As it is, John David Booty couldn’t beat out Sage Rosefels for the backup job in Minnesota and Booty is playing on their practice squad.

Colin Cowherd on ESPN radio called the performance the greatest first game performance by a rookie in the last ten years. Let us all remember that Peyton Manning won 3 games his rookie season.

Besides the greatness of franchise quarterback Mark Sanchez, head coach Rex Ryan also shined during his first game as a NFL head coach. The Jets defense was stifling causing the much hyped Texans to go 3 and out over and over again. A strong defense and a solid rushing game can be huge benefits to rookie quarterbacks and with the defense playing superb and Thomas Jones rushing for over 100 yards our rookie quarterback got plenty of support.

This was a great road win for the New York Jets which sent a message to the rest of the football league that the 2009 New York Jets are for real and their new quarterback really has “it”.
