If it isn't insulting enough to have THAT team from Florida come into our house and give us the beating that they did, we have to bear to watch GANG GREEN loose in those horrible throw up uniforms so Woody can line his pockets with something that didn't come out of a Q-Tip!?!? Haven't they robbed us enough with their PSL's, $8 for a beer and $25 for parking-they have to puke up "retro" uniforms so we can't tell our team from a high school pickup game? This is the Jets-want to get to your roots? Throw on some green and play like men from New York-or New Jersey, what ever the fluck you approve. Don't pretend to be a part of a heritage your fans don"t understand or even care about. Let me say this once in your hearing. For outright stupidity, the whole flocking "throwback uniform" concept goes shoulder to shoulder with that c...ksucker Custer's thinkin' when he headed for that ridge.

This has been my first blog post in years.  I know, I have been slacking.  I took last year off, but so did the Jets, so no harm, no foul.

This year things have changed.  I have seen the changes up close and personal, I have met Head Coach Rex Ryan and Quarterback Mark Sanchez and the impression I walked away with was like nothing I ever felt before, my son felt it too when he met Mark Sanchez.  The confidence, the maturity, the role model....but I will get to that later.  Let's talk about this weekends game and why I am picking this as my game of the week.

The Patri-RATS pulled out a win against Buffalo last week, and Buffalo is tough early on in the season, but the Rats pulled off a win in a hard fought contest.

The Jets completely dominated against the Texans last week, completely shutting out the offence for all four quarters.

It comes down to two teams heading in opposing directions.  The Patriots lost their core group a long tome ago and having Richard Seymore, Teddy Bruschi and others while the Jets have brought in KILLERS.  David Harris was only the beginning, Bart Scott and Rex Ryan have brought a Baltimore attitude to New York.  Ever see the Ravens play in the last decade or so?

Remember Baltimore?  I remember them coming a few bad calls away from spoiling the Patriots perfect season a couple of years ago, a much more talented Patriots team than the Jets are facing this Sunday.

As long as Mark Sanchez and the offence doesn't turn the ball over too many times, I expect the Jets to win.  I feel that Tom Brady will be sacked 4-6 times in this game and that the Patriots offense will stutter to a halt.

I have to point out how much I love Rex Ryan as a coach.  I love the fact that he wanted the Texans to have the ball first, how he wanted his defense on the field first to set the tone.  It put the opposing coach in a no win situation.  I love that his quarterback is also a role model to kids, kind hearted and talented.  This ain't no Broadway Joe, but he may be the next great Jets legend.

Suppose Beli-CHEAT wins the toss on Sunday-will he opt to kick off to the Jets in some sick retaliation move to put Sanchez on the field first?  Don't you think that would just fire up our defense even more?  By the time they get on the field they will be ready for blood.  So he is left with the option of taking the kickoff and giving the Jets defense what they want in the first place?

The Jets are turning into bullies and they want to hit their opponents in the mouth-they are out for blood, no more prevent defense, we have Jenkins smacking around interior linemen like they are gnats at a Sunday picnic.  Oh yeah, did I remember to mention that Sean Ellis is back this week????????

So is the Flight Crew!!!!!  Go Jets!!!!!!

 

 

The Jets are 3 point favorites against the bye week and I am not only hoping for a win, but for the Jets to come out of it healthy.

Their quarterback-nursing a sore ankle, Favre has time to get better as long as he doesn't spend too much time scoping out Woody's thousand acre compound looking for a spot to set up his tree stand this winter.

Their wide receiver-has time to heal his broken heart (and hamstring) to develop his BUSINESS relationship with the new leader of the offense and show us that week four was not an anomaly, but what we have been waiting for in terms of production and potential this season.

Their nose tackle-has time to heal his back, return to form, and in the process potentialy get to the prowl-bowl this year.

Their kicker-has a moment to relflect on wether he will be kicking for the Jets or working at Stop and Shop for the next ten years.

And last but not least......

The guy who runs the NewYork Jets.com web site-why does he have a job?  Here is an actual picture he posted in the photo gallery for the Flight Crew.....




You don't need glasses, but I can not say the same for the webmaster.

Seriously, what are they thinking?  With the lovely ladies of the flight crew your focus, this is what you come up with?  They are not doing their job on the flight crew and that is a shame.

Woody, you gotta keep an eye on this.

The New York Jets took it to the Arizona Cardinals despite the heavy burden of the NFL's most atrocious throwback uniforms seen last weekend.

Arizona was never really in the game, as Kurt Warner seemed to hand the Jets victory over and over by consistently turning the ball over during a relentless pass rush.

Brett Favre threw for 6 touchdown passes, but the big story might be the chemistry developing between the quarterback and his receivers.  Coles had three touchdowns and caught ten passes.  He had caught only eight passes in the first three games this season.

I think Brett will hang out in NJ during the bye-there is still a lot of work to be done, and now the team is showing some promise.

Speaking of showing promise, Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace and Sean Ellis each had a sack yesterday, David Bowens had two.  Kris Jenkins had another great day stuffing the middle and applying pressure to Kurt Warner while allowing others to bask in the glory of the sacks.  Jenkins should go to the pro bowl if he can stay healthy.

Speaking of Bryan Thomas, he leads the team in sacks with 4 so far this season.  My favorite player on defense (David Harris) leads the team with 31 tackles so far.

The Jets held the Cards to 42 yards rushing but gave up an alarming 426 yards passing playing a prevent defense most of the time.  Bill Parcells has said that the only thing a prevent defense does is to prevent a team from willing.

No sign of Justin Miller yesterday-again.  He has been absent for most of this season and I wonder if he will even be on the team next year.  I wouldn't be surprised if he was traded for a high draft pick.

After the bye, the Jets face Cincinnati, Oakland and Kansas City.  They have a real good shot at 5-2 by the time they face off against Buffalo in week 9.

I am always amazed at how teams react in similar situations.  At the end of last nights game the Chargers were celebrating their victory as if they had made the playoffs while the Jets seemed to mope around as if they just lost the playoffs.  Both teams had just arrived at the same record of 1-2 on the year, yet their moods were dramatically different.

It reminded me of what my friend JT told me just before the game-that the Chargers needed the win more than the Jets did.  Last night, the showed it, stomping the Jets and showing the world that it was way too early to write them off.

The Jets had no answers for the Chargers offense last night, and if Kris Jenkins misses any significant amount of playing time, this defense is in trouble.  Jenkins showed what he is worth to the team in value in his absence.  The Jets had no sacks last night and gave Chargers quarterback plenty of time to pick apart their secondary, but it doesn't end there.

Farve had two interceptions.  Thomas Jones fumbled once and was contained to 37 total yards of rushing.

Coles, Cotchery and Stucky each had a touchdown reception, and David Barrett picked of the first pass thrown at him on defense, but it was not enough to keep San Diego from running away with the game.

Favre had plenty of time in the pocket to make his throws, but the offense just didn't get the job done.  Not when the defense gives up 49 points.

This weekend, Miami upset the New England Patriots and Buffalo improved to 3-0.  The Jets did little to help their own cause.

Will the Jets get better?

When?

Next up, another chance to improve when the 1-2 Jets face the 2-1 Cardinals at the Meadowlands.  If the Jets should pull out the win we may see another anomaly of tow teams with similar records with opposit reactions.  Who wants it more?

We will find out Sunday.
