Requiem for the Jets...

My house was like a tomb last night.

Our team, our hopes, our Cinderella story was done. New Yorkers felt the ball drop and the dream end at the hands of the Raiders. So, no "this year's Patriots" tale for the Super Bowl this year. It's up to the four big guys now.

On the bright side, our boys didn't go down in a controversial cloud of miscues or questionable calls. We got beat by a better team. Plain and Simple.

Chad Pennington, while never quite getting the deer-in-headlights look, was frazzled in the second half. Yes, he played like a seasoned veteran all year, but this was his first time on the road in the playoffs. Against a ravenous team and a hopped-up crowd at the Black Hole. Daunting for any quarterback. I'll give him this...he never stopped trying. If it was still possible, they were going to try.

There's a lot to look forward to for next season. The quarterback question is answered. The team is relatively young and doing well under a great coach. There is pride around New York over Gang Green once again. And Chad has the playoff monkey off of his shoulder. After the game, I saw a shot of him, all alone at the end of the bench, just hanging his head...defeated, beaten and utterly exhausted. A young quarterback may not realize this now, but it was the game of his career. Not because they threw for so many yards or whatever stat seems important right now, but because it's one more important experience in the bag. And he never quit.

And I look at the schedule and see that we play Oakland yet again next season...

So, at the risk of sounding cliched,

There's Always Next Year.
 
I lost money on them, but I'm more than happy to see them out of the playoffs. I'm sure I can win my money back and more if Philadelphia is giving 6.5 points or less in the super bowl against either AFC team.

The Jets had a great season, but Oakland simply outplayed them. Too bad the Raiders will be defeated in the Super Bowl by the Eagles! Just my prediction. 😀
 
YOUR place was a tomb???

Imagine how I felt after Saturday's heartbreaker with the Steelers. Leaving out questionable calls and miscues, it was just a plain ugly game between an age old rivalry. They may have moved to Tennesee and changed their names to the Titans, but the spirit of the Oilers was there on Saturday.

Getting away from that sore subject *wipes tears away* , I was pulling for the Jets so bad:
1. Because I happen to like the Jets and
2. Because I HATE the Raiders (can you tell I'm a Pittsburgh fan?)

But the cries of "wait'll next year!" will be prophetic for the Jets, because I think the Jets are going to be playoff contenders for a few more years to come, at least.

BTW, Dave, tell the Jets to answer their phone. Allentown is calling. 😀
 
BTW....

The above post was made by yours truly. I was logged into my alternate profile because of the stupid chatroom. 🙄

Some day, I hope to learn to pay closer attention to what I'm doing.
 
Name ONE Questionable Call...

In the Steelers game, and keep in mind when you name it I watched that whole game, I have that game on film, I've watched it 8 times, AND I played in the NFL...


By the way. The Jets did look good. Very good in fact. Experience and a physical team won that game. The Jets have nothing to be ashamed of.


If Tampa Bays offense shows up they should beat the Eagles.

Age old question...

I thought the Raiders were supposed to be "old". Hah. They looked smart...and HUGE. Guess the speed concept didn't work too well when it came to moving Middleton and a few other behemoths, ehh? Good first half...tough clean football. Maybe someday the Bills will stagger back into the fray...sigh. Q
 
You watched it 8 times since Saturday night?

Well, tron, if you had watched SportsCenter 1 time instead of watching the Steelers/Titans game 8 times, you wouldn't be asking me to name a call. I have a friend who got drunk and passed out 10 minutes before the game was over, and even he knows what I'm referring to.

And as for TB offense showing up, they've shown up every game they've played against the Eagles, and still got their asses handed to them. Does this mean the 12 victories that Philly got this year was from the other team's offense staying home? Just asking the opinion of an expert. 😀

p.s. Natrone Means wants his jersey back. :manicd:
 
As a True Blue Giants Fan, I am glad the Jets are out of it.

Actually I am even more satisfied that the 49ers got their just deserts since they did not deserve to be in this round in the first place. Justice has been served! dished out with a big spoon by the Bucs!
Bye bye 9ers!:wavingguy
