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.

Here is what I hate/love about the NFL:
The Jets beat Miami,
New England beats the Jets
Miami beats New England.

Say what????

If A+B=C, and C-A=B, then shouldn't C-B=A????

If you know anything about the NFL then you would know this: the NFL knows no math.

As my friend Howard told me, "They still have to play the game".



Okay, so let's figure this out.  New England Patri-RATS have a tough nut ahead of them.  If they beat San Fran, they will still lose to the Chargers and Denver and be 3-3 when they face off in the toilet bowl vs. the Rams.

The Jets will not be so kind when they face New England In week 11.

New England is done!!! 

IT'S OVER JOHNNY!  OVER!  OVER!!!!



Nice work Chad!  ; )

CHEATERS NEVER WIN AND WINNERS NEVER CHEAT!!



Here is something Patri-RATS fans might have to get used to seeing-

*
Yes, the simple asterisk.  Because the stupid head coach will never be able to win without cheating.  Take away his competitive advantage and he is reduced to being a big fat jerk who cheats on his wife.

Yup, I said it.  He doesn't obey the rules in football or in marriage.

He is, putting it nicely, a scumbag.  A loser, who can not win without cheating.

Everybody listen up: when you pay the RATS, go for it!  Do mot play conservatively, GO FOR THE GUT.

Their defense is old and overrated.  OLD AND SLOW.

THE ONLY THING THEY ACCOMPLISHED WAS PROVIDING THEIR FANS WITH THE BIGGEST CHOKE IN SUPERBOWL HISTORY!!!
