Wow and Wow and Wow!!

Well. After 2 horrible weeks, the Jets won...albeit a nailbiter to the end. Sanchez played well, including that naked bootleg on 4th and 1 which was a GREAT call. Defense had some issues...like giving up 378 yards and again time management was not so good, but it is a moot point. I am glad they won and certainly feel much better today than last week.
Oh yeah...hate to be a Giant fan this morning. And I am not gloating. As a season ticket-holder for 28 years, I have sat through many a Jet meltdown, so that is why I said that and can relate.

This is NOT Good

The Jets, who two weeks ago were tied with the hated Patriots are now 2 games behind them. First that horrible Monday night game where the hated Patriots spanked them 45-3, and now this past Sunday when the Dolphins (GRRRRRRRRRR) beat them 10-6 in horrible rain. They better get their shit together and FAST. They have Pittsburgh and Chicago on the road, before coming home for the final home game against the Bills. All I can say is OY!!

Music..for a change

New York Rangers

Well, being so caught up with the Jets, I haven't written about the Rangers in a while. But Thursday and Friday they swept the home and home against the Ice-Landers. The game Thursday at the Nausea Mausoleum was a sloppy game but at least they won. Last night at the Garden was a nice shutout by Lundqvist. Let's hope they continue the good hockey.

JETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't why I haven't written anything in a while, but The J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS are 9-2 after their great win Thanksgiving night. Next is the game of the season for the NFL. The 9-2 Jets against the 9-2 hated Patriots on Monday Night Football. Whoever dreamt up this schedule is a genius. I would love to see the Jets once again kick the f*****g Patriots out of Foxboro. I will be in Huntington NY with some good friends watching the game and the place will be rockin! GO JETS!!!!!!!!!!

The Jets Once Again

I know it is a few days since the Jets incredible win over the Browns Sunday, but I felt I had to say a few words. First off, Cotchery making that unbelievable catch in OT after he pulls his hamstring was amazing. Sanchez getting out of a few potential sacks, including the Cotchery play is amazing. Holmes once again was amazing too.
On the down side, The Browns ate through the defense early on, which has to be addressed and the offense has to punch it in to the end zone, especially after that 10 minute drive which got no points when Folk missed the field goal. All in all, the Jets are 7-2 and though they are tied with the hated Patriots, the Jets have a better division record. This could be our year. GO JETS!!

Lucky Isn't The Word

The Jets were blessed today. In a game that was almost assuredly a loss, they came back and beat Detroit in OT. But they played horribly, and had too many bad penalties. Rex better lay down the law and fast. They play Cleveland next week, and the Browns manhandled the Patriots today, so the Jets better be more than prepared.
