If the Jets follow my stradegy they will win. Trust me, I've been trapped in 10 feet of snow for the last two weeks so I've had a lot of time to plan it out.

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listen up folks...we are getting closer to one of the biggest games in recent history. This is it. The Jets vs. the Pats. I know we've been talking about this all week, but I am really feeling the Jets could pull this off.

This game is the epitome of why we have this blog. This game is the main reason we link to this blog every day. This game is the reason why we love the Jets.

All year we've been posting, talking smack and researching all the stat sites to post good blogs. We've met some interesting fellows (when I say interesting I mean crazy and when I say crazy I am referring to JetTitties). We've bought into a 35 year old coach's regime. We've seen Chad come back to pro quaterback form, something none of us thought he would do. We've seen the emergence of people like Kerry Rhodes and Nick Mangold. We saw our Jets, who none of us thought they would win 4 games, finnish 10-6.

10 and fucking 6. And you know what, we are in the fucking playoffs!!! And guess what, Caymus is right on all his points above. The Pats have a far more better running game. Shit, we don't even have a real running back. And the New England passing game is far superior to ours. Our QB lofts balls that hang up there for what seems for anyone to grab. They have a better defense, coach and all around team.

But do you want to know why the Jets will win Sunday? Huh, do you want to??? For the same reason we are 10-6 in a season where we supposed to finnish dead last. Why? For the same reason Chad Pennington wasn't supposed to come back. Why? Because of the same reason a 35 year old coach who was a water boy two years ago, can be our fearless leader.

In the movie Rocky Balboa, Rocky tells his son, "Being a winner is not about how many punches you land, but about how many punches you take and keep going." Our beloved Jets have taken many big blows this year. But we keep going.

This Sunday we will be up in the ring in Foxboro. And no doubt Tom Brady and the Pats Defense will be laying some big blows on us. But this Jets team will keep moving forward. Because they beleive in themselves and in one another. It will not be pretty up there in Foxboro, but our Jets will be prepared.

Caymus and his buddy Skinner asked me to come up to Foxboro this weekend. And although, driving 7 hours, sleeping on Skinners couch and driving the 7 hours home all in 24 hours would be worth it to see the heavy weight bout, I gracefully declined. And the only reason I am not going is I am taking Mrs. UnrulyJetsFan to NYC for the night. Trust me, I seriously considered cancelling the babysitter and heading up North.

I would love the chance to go into that stadium with my Chad Pennington jersey to route my team on. However, I will settle for my couch and my bag of popcorn. But I will still have the jersey on and will be routing hard.

Lets get it up Jet Fans!!! J-E-T-S, JETS, JETS, JETS!!!

BACK ON BLOG TOPIC, MEIN FUHRER!

Let me stop crying long enough to send you Jet fans a recipe for success against the Patriots.

The Jets big-time regular season win (that set the Jets on the way to the playoffs) in Foxboro was due to a few key ingredients:

- The field was absolute soup!!! I remember watching the game and wondering how the Patriots could be the most expensive NFL ticket and have the absolute worst playing field? That was a total embarrassment, and Kraft was finally humiliated enough to lay the artificial grass. And that is saying something, his ass is so tight that Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch couldn't persuade him to pay a few peanuts more to keep him. Hell, tack on an extra dollar for parking and he would recoup his expenditure. But no.
And no such same luck with the field this time.

-The Jets defense really pounded Tom Brady. It is next to never when Mr. Clutch gets happy feet, but he had 'em that day. It is imperative that the Jets get some pressure this time round. If Brady can stand in the pocket it will be a long day.

-Chad managed the game, and that is something he can really do. Brady is a manager but is also a tough guy with some ego. He takes chances down the field. If Chad keeps them chains moving and the ball inbounds, the Patriots will have to press due to lack of opportunities to string together long drives.

-Hey, Mangini knows the Patriots inside and out! That is a tremendous advantage, I doubt Bellicheck changed the entire playbook. Mangini even used to do the copies for him preparing the players' gameplans.

Godspeed, Jets Fans! And if you can find it in your grinch-green hearts, send a well-wish to crosstown class-act Tiki Barber and hope that he plays at least a few more games.

In Memoriam

Congrats Jets fans,

Denver's final game became sadder this morning as we learned of a breaking story. Darrent William, who played Cornerback opposite Champ Bailey, was killed in a senseless drive-by shooting New Years Eve after the game. Darrent was a big-time baller. A 5'9" guy who was fast and could really lay some hat, sure tackler, great competitor and teammate.

I was shocked to hear of this. Darrent was 24 and had his whole life ahead of him.

Why?

Bring it on Tommy Boy!


Looks like we are going to have our hands full on January 14th. You see folks, that is the day the Jets will face the L.T. and the San Diego Chargers. There is no containing L.T. so I say we shut off Phillip Rivers and let their running game do what they want. It is a costly gamble but that team is too good.
The Chargers also have a strong defense. Definately not going to be an easy one. But I have a feeling we can do it.
And I was wrong about the Raiders game. Jets were all business yesterday shutting Raider Nation down.
As for any Patriot Fans who are reading this blog. Consider your season over. Mangini and the Jets are coming back up to Foxboro for another bitch slapping session. My suggestion is you guys forfiet the game as you will save a whole bunch of heart break that way.
I am going to keep it real simple for you. The score of next weeks game is going to be 35 - 13, in favor of the Jets. I say 13 for you losers because you will score two TD's and your kicker will miss one extra point. I am predicting he will also miss two FG's as well. That will be the "universes" way of saying fuck you for letting Veniteri go.
I am looking forward to the warm weather of San Diego already!

AGAIN. Report from America's Siberia






Goddamnit. If I weren't already a yeti, this winter in Colorado would be really inconvienient.

Nothing to do but sit in the house with three feet of snow outside. Second blizzard in 8 days, we hadn't even fully gotten out of the first one. Contrary to popular belief, Colorado experiences a good amount of snow, but we actually have more days of sunshine than Florida. My buddy was skiing off his roof last week. He built a snow ramp in his backyard and made his whole yard into a little course. Videotaped themselves skiing off the roof and into a jump, like little homemade Warren Miller films. But this time 'round, this shit is boring. Nothing to do but hang out with the little Christmas trees.





And on a green note: The Jets recipe for beating the Raiders will be simple: keep the clock moving. The Raiders Defense might put up a fight initially, but they have a lame duck head coach, a lame duck offense in the middle of a lame duck season that they can't wait to be over. Randy Moss probably won't even play. Andrew Walter or the horrendous Aaron Brooks will turn the ball over, either via fumbles from sacks or by interceptions.

The Jets need to warm up for a grind-it-out type game that they will surely face the following week vs. the Colts. Fifty to sixty running plays will help Chad out immensely. I see him doing something efficient like 11-14, 205 yds and 1 td. Medium and short passes, his throws hang in the air or seem to take a while to get there sometimes.

Warren Sapp and the Raiders D is a prideful bunch, but by the third quarter they will be throwing in the towel and celebrating will be happening in Giants Stadium. 23-10 Jets, and the defense or special teams gets a score, another tune up for the second most necessary ingredient in a play-off run. Run the ball and play good defense.

It's like The Day After Tomorrow outside right now, hopefully it will melt by April and I can make it out to that eastern seaboard state from which I came.

UM, HELLO???? THE RAIDERS ARE COMING TO TOWN!


While my blogger buddies cry to each other about which celebrity is politically stupider than the next and weather or not Eddie Vedder is Canadian or not, I am going to try to bring this blog back to what it was made for...THE JETS!!!
The Raiders are all that is on my mind. The Jets delivered an awesome Christmas present for all Jets fans last week when they squeaked out a win for us with 10 seconds to go.
Now we need to ask the Jets for a Happy New Year's Eve present in a win over the Raiders. We will take another one down to the wire if need be. A blow out would be great. But a win is all we really want and need.
A win means we are in the playoffs. A loss means we still might get in but we will need a bunch of teams to lose. We win next week and we are either facing the Colts or the Pats in their houses.
But lets not get that too far up the road. We need the Jets to beat the Raiders first. The Raiders Defense is really good, despite their crappy season. Their offense has a lot to be desired about. But Leon Johnson will be coming home so he might be amped up to face his former team, that let him go.
At any rate, I think we will win but I declare a close one. I think it will come down the the foot of rocker Ted Nugent again. It could be a shootout between him and Seb Janikowski.
I say Jets 15 - Raiders 12.
Happy New Year
PS: Feel free to post but if you want to post about Eddie Vedder, South Korea, the Iraq War, Celebrities that have graduated from Harvard, or anything else having to do with anything other than the Jets, go to another blog. Simply put your desired topic in the Blogger search engine and you will find the blog of your taste.

Eddie Vedder Isn't Canadian...But He Should Be

But he isn't from California either...He's from Chicago. In fairness to Figgy's assumption as to Vedder being from the Leftist Coast, he did slide out West twice during his lifetime. Once when his mother married the man whose seed created Vedder (after he was born and already in his teens) and later on in his life when he wanted to start his rock and or roll career. I am also of the opinion that every few years the Earth shifts and anything not tied down slides out west. So in fairness to my assumption as to Eddie being a Canadian, he is sort of a nimrod. He has fronted for such bands as My Morning Jacket (Canadian), chums around with Neil Young (also Canadian), and subsequently Neil was good friends with The Band (who had 4 Canadian members). In concert he likes to wax philosophical about current events but mainly about politics. Since Vedder is a high school drop out, I have to liken this kind of behavior to a gym teacher expounding on fusion vs.'s fission. It makes me sick when celebrities think we need to be taught by them about our world...our culture or lack there of...for this reason I am officially changing Eddie Vedder's name to Canadian Eddie Vedder. Hey, it's better than Wikipedia. In their synopsis of Pearl Jam's frontman's life, they have him pushing up daisies. I just think he's a communist. I don't want him dead or anything.

Well, I have finally come out of my writer's block...sure it had nothing to do with football but what can you say when the Jets said it all on the field. I know the Jets only beat Miami but it was a must win in what has always been a hostile environment for the Jets. Pennington played well enough to win. Will it be enough to beat Indy or the Pats? No, he needs to play better than he did as does the defense and the offense as a unit. But can we beat those two in the playoffs? I think the win against the Pats in Mass. showed us we can beat them. We lost to the Colts but we played them tough in their building. Plus since then the Colts have shown the league their achilles. They cannot defend the run. Cannot. When we played the Colts Cedric Houston wasn't getting the carries he will if & when we play them again. So all is good in Jets land...no complaints here. I even got some new Jets gear for Christmas just in time for the playoffs and that's something I didn't think that I'd see when the season started. January football, even if it's just one or two games, will be sweet.

So remember two things:

Eddie Vedder is now Canadian Eddie Vedder.

&

The Jets will partake in playoff football this year.

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

Ho, Ho, Ho!



Chad gave all Jets fans a big present last night in the form of a big W. With a little help from his friends, namely the entire defensive squad and rocker/kicker Ted Nugent.


I set it up perfect last night. I put the kids to bed. I put the wife to bed. Then I put my Chad Pennington jersey on and put the game on in time to see the opening kickoff. I painstakenly watched three scoreless quarters and then must have fallen asleep to see all the action.


When I woke up at 1am I saw the highlights on Sports Center. However, in my half asleep and delusional state, I thought I saw a 14-0 win. I went to bed smiling. But when I woke up in the morning I saw that I missed the best quarter and the final score was 13-10. I no reason to stop smiling.


I saw enough highlights and read enough articles this morning to peice the whole game together. And I am giving three game balls away.


First one goes to the Jet Defense. These guys are playing awesome. The Dolphins really didn't make too many mistakes, but the defense still held the Fins to 10 points. Great job guys!


Second one goes to Ted Nugent. Nugent had another perfect game. You couldn't even blame him nor Ben Graham for that muffed snap. It was wet and Ben is an Aussie so you don't want to say anything bad about him otherwise he will hunt you down and chop your head off.
The third goes to Sir Chad Pennington. When Pennington plays well, the Jets win. Chad was extremely patient last night. He waited out the defense and struck when the timing was right. And some of those passes were threaded in there so perfectly.
I am really suprised he is not picked off more. He threw zero picks last night and the Jets won.
Go Jets! Thanks for the Christmas present!


LET'S GO JETS!




Fuck the Dolphins and go Teddy Nugent!


I don't have much to say, other than "Merry Fucking Christmas!" The Jets pulled out a much-needed win yesterday, and looked okay (in the second half) doing it. All they need to do is beat Oakland and they are in. If that happens, I'm going to have a playoff party at my house.

There is no reason why they shouldn't beat the Raiders. They are awful. They are traveling across the country to play a game on New Year's Eve that means nothing to them. Their coach is being fired this year. Their whole team should be gutted and replaced.

That being said, the Jets have a history of disappointing their fans and the Raiders could always want to spoil the Jets' playoffs hopes. (I know, they can still get in if they lose (with some help). Regardless, there is no way the Jets should lose to the Raiders.


Kudos to Teddy Nugent, he is really playing up to his potential, and that's great for the Jetropolitans.


On a side note, I came in third place in my FF league. Cotchery's TD helped me carry the day. (How did the field officials miss that, he was in by a mile?!).


GO JETS!!!!!!!

My new prediction:

Jets 24

Raiders 10




Why the Underdog Jets Are National Darlings





I could sense the cumulative consternation of Jets Nation Christmas night. Monday Night Football, in the thick of the bottleneck of the wild card race in the AFC, on the road in late December in Florida against a mightily-struggling Dolphins team and controlling their own destiny, the New York Jets waited until the end of the third quarter to display a pulse.

By halftime the Jets-Dolphins game score was a (jets) tittilating 0-0. Panic was that burning, runny feeling deep in the sinuses of Gang-greenies everywhere. Even I, a relocated and self-loathing Giants fan, was strenuously hoping that Pennington & Co. would get it together, dispatch the Fish (who played like they were out of water) and grab that dream of the playoffs dangling right over their heads. Tack on the fact that the Jets recently chose my hometown of Florham Park, NJ as their headquarters and that a good deal of my old friends from there are fans and you get my Bandwagon Vote.

I know that sounds like a sell-out, but I don't experience the bitterness of the Giants-Jets rivalry. I talk shit to Jets fans because of some unfortunate facility-sharing circumstances, but when it comes down to it, I like the Jets as long as they are not conflicting with my team's progress. And I believe that this is a distinction that the Jets enjoy with football fans across America outside of their division rivals, of course. That firefighter guy and the best crowd chant in the NFL has given the Jets some catchy and sentimental attachment to the nation's psyche, especially post-9/11. Throw in the classic, simple jerseys and a top-5 running back of all-time in Curtis Martin and the Jets had a great niche in the expanding exposure of the National Football League. That's great marketing, not from a billboard standpoint, but every NFL fan knows the 'J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets' chant. Commentators and nationally televised Jets home games further the endearment of it all. The rest of the league's fans are left to chant 'D-fense' and that's it. Here in Denver they chant, 'In-com-plete' but really, it pales in comparison.

Well, I think the Jets finally got to sensing that national underdog adoration in the 2nd half against the Dolphins. I sat there in Denver, watching with other transplants from Boston and Rochester and noticed them- having no allegiances at all- just start rooting for the Jets. The Boston guy was a Patriots fan! Why would he want them to win and possibly have to play them for a third time this year? The Rochester guy grew up with all Bills fans, but likes Cleveland. Sure enough, as soon as the Jets kicked a field goal to go up 3-0, they did the Jets chant.

Then the Jets seemed to notice there was game going on and they were in it.

The Jets defense should've been making Dolphins QB Cleo Lemon look like Strawberry Shortcake. The Jets offense knew it was going to have a time with the always tough Dolphins defense, but I expected their running-back-by-committee approach would move the chains, chew the clock and wear down Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas & Co. Fortunately, they did enough to win. The conditions were wet and sloppy, so that bears some reason for the ugly game.

When the game finished we started playing cards and I thought about the appeal of the Jets to the rest of the country. Jets fans got what they wanted for Christmas, a win and the driver's seat to the wild card pending a win next week over the woeful Raiders. Congrats Jets fans, the Cinderella season continues and here's hoping you that pumpkin coach doesn't show up any time soon.

All I want for Christmas is ...


Sure, I would like the above and 4 million bucks. (hey, I'm not being greedy, 4 mil is enough).

Seriously though, what I really want for Christmas is the following:

1. 2 Jets Victories and a playoff birth for our boys in green.
Can the Jets accomplish this? Of course they can! The weather in Miami will help out Chad and if the passing game is consistent and the running game gets a few yards, then they will beat the 'fins. They need to stop that dickhead Taylor from ending Chad's career as well. The Raiders scare me, because if the Jets will they will need to beat the Raiders to make the playoffs (in all likelihood) and that alone could mean the Jets' demise. We all know the Jets lose games they should win (i.e., Cleveland), and the Raiders game is, without question, one of these games. I put the pressure of winning this game on.... Mangini himself. Yes, he needs to get the players' minds off the pressure and focus them on winning. It will be a true test for the Penquin.
My predictions:
Jets 27 - Miami 14
Jets 20 - Oakland 6

2. Some goddamn respect for Jets' players.
Justin Miller is the only Jet to make the Pro-Bowl?? Ummm... hello, Laverneous Coles anyone? Kerry Rhodes??? What the fuck? That is horseshit! These two guys should have made the team, and it's bullshit that they didn't. It only shows that nobody is taking the Jets seriously this year. Fuck them. All the more reason why the Jets need to make the playoffs this year.

3. A playoff victory for the New York Jetropolitans.
This would shock the shit out of everyone and prove the Jets have more heart in their pinkies than the Giants do in their whole soulless (besides Tiki) team. On any given Sunday, anything can happen, and in my opinion, unless the Jets are playing the Chargers or the Ravens (with McNair), they have a legit shot to win.

4. Some new to look at my blogger profile so I can get past 24 "views."

And lastly,
5. World Peace.
Yeah right, I'm just hoping my son isn't drafted for WW III. Let's just hope we don't get nuked first.

That's about it. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As always, LET'S GO JETS!!!!!!

Buried By Blizzard, A Faded Football Fan Looks for the Answer






Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas! I know all you Jet fans out there are sleeping soundly with images of playoffs and green gumdrops in your heads. Well, allow me the first to say, good luck! As my pathetic team has now marginalized themselves, I look forward to my other love, basketball.

As you can see, I have some time on my hands. Denver received over two feet of snow in the last 24 hours and it is still snowing! Fortunately I still have heat and electricity, or I'll have to burn books and eat my dog. Either that or send my girlfriend on foot for help. Just kidding.

But seriously, Christmas came early for Denver basketball fans. By now, I'm sure you all have seen the Nuggets/Knicks brawl footage. Growing up, unquestionably, the Knicks were my favorite team. But since I have lived in Colorado for eight years now (and have watched the Knicks deteriorate into a laughingstock) and access to games is so easy for me, I became a big-time Nugget fan. It has been fun watching Carmelo change his game and attitude ever so slightly over the last three years, but all that went into reverse during the Knick game. Did anyone see what a pussy Melo really is? Suckerpunches Mardy Collins and the RUNS AWAY to his bench. If you are going to throw a punch, be a man and face the guy you are hitting. Collins wasn't even looking at Melo, his back was to him, and Melo comes with a roundhouse suckerpunch? Frankly, I thought he'd be gone for half the season. Here were a few questions during the aftermath of the Garden Brawl:

  • What were the Nuggets going to do in the very strong Western Conference without their best player?
  • Why did he do it? Melo currently leads the NBA in scoring, has the Nuggets chasing the surprising Utah Jazz for the division lead, was a LOCK for the All-Star game and was having an MVP-type season.
  • How stupid can you be? Five seconds of anger resulting in losing nearly $750,000? According to my figures Melo earns almost $53,000 per game, which equals $1086.50 every MINUTE of the game, whether he is playing or not. There are 82 games a season, not including bonus money for playoff appearances.
  • What kind of image fall-out would this precipitate? Melo was opening youth centers, and donating millions to Syracuse, and the shoes and the good commercials...And what about the Nuggets catching the Jazz and making the playoffs? What about the scoring title, the All-Star game, the playoffs?
Lots of good questions were left in Nuggets fans' laps. Fortunately, Nugget management came up with the Answer:

Allen Iverson!

To quote the immortal Flavor Flav, "Yeeeaaaahhh, boyeee!"


I, for one, am very excited about this move. I realize that there may not be enough basketballs to go around initially, and I worry about players' egos. But we have a strong coach in George Karl who I think will find a way for Melo and AI to co-exist peacefully and successfully. Our backcourt of AI, JR Smith, Earl Boykins and Melo at small forward is as formidable as any in the NBA. Billups, Hamilton and Prince from the Detroit Pistons is the only other backcourt that appears as dangerous as the one in Denver right now. And they play slow-down, post-up basketball. The Nuggets are going to run so much the Phoenix Suns will look as swift as a trailer park. Boykins and AI would be IMPOSSIBLE to trap with pressure defense. And now we have THREE guys who want that last shot, Melo, Iverson and Smith. With our hustling big men, and Camby playing at an All-Star level, I'm saying that after an initial 'get-to-know-you' period the Denver Nuggets are going to take off. Wait and see.

As for football, good luck to all you Jet fans! You guys got the best schedule going in to wrap up the year. Take care of business in Miami, and I think the Broncos will beat the Bengals at Mile High, and I think I see Gang Green sneaking in there. I feel bad for you though, the AFC playoffs will be murder, hopefully you get the Pats in the first round, because its pretty damn tough the rest of the way.

I'll be pulling for you out here. Despite being a life-long Giants fan, here in Denver I root for anything New York or close to home. Plus, Florham Park became the Jets headquarters! Maybe I'll paint the building blue as a joke.

PLAYOFFS???


A few years back when Jim Mora Sr. was asked about his playoff chances during a dismal season he created one of the most famous playoff time sound bites in reacting with an aggravated, "PLAYOFFS? PLAYOFFS?"

At the beginning of the season, one of my die hard Jet fan friends announced to me that if the Jets make it to the playoffs it would be a good year. I mimicked Mora and told my friend that we would be lucky to win 5 games. A sentiment that most level headed Jet fans shared. But guess what Jet fans? My hopeful friend must have had a premonition.

Believe it or not, the playoffs are looming for our beloved. We obviously need a few things to happen and need a little help from some friends/foes around the league. But here are some quick scenarios for you to keep in mind so you can root for and against different teams in upcoming weeks in an effort to make our Jets playoff hopes greater

The best thing for the Jets is to make it into one of the two Wild Card spots, which it looks like 4 teams are fighting for them right now. The Jets, Bengals, Jaguars and Broncos are vying for the Wild Card. The Jets are probably sitting the best spot out of any of them.

New York Jets: The Jets are 8-6 and have two games left. They play a 6-8 Miami team and a 2-12 Raider team. If we win those two games, we should be in the playoffs. However, a few losses amongst the following teams would only help.

Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals are currently 8-5, and have won the last 4 in a row. However, they face Indianapolis tonight. Then they play Denver and finish up with Baltimore. In my opinion, if the Bengals get past Indy tonight they are going to be the team we need to root against more than anyone. Denver and Baltimore are not doing so hot these days. The Bengals are hitting their stride a little bit and could very well win the next three.

Jacksonville Jaguars: The fact that the Titans caught them with their pants down this weekend was huge for the Jets. However, I hope karma doesn't work against us on with Jacksonville, since we forgot to show up when we played them earlier this week.

Denver Broncos: Figgy's team is currently 8-6 as well. However, they have their hands full against Cinci and Al Gore and the San Francisco 69ers. What we really need the Broncos to do is beat the Bengals and then lose to San Fran. They are starting a rookie QB and have the chips stacked against them the most out of any of these Wild Card contenders.

What we really need to focus on our side of the street. And that means we need to win this weekend against Miami, in Miami.

This will not be an easy task. I predict a low scoring game. Lets hope Mangini's game plan includes shutting down the run and confusing blitz packages against Ron Farrington.

Jets 16 - Dolphins 10

Jets Playoff Hopes...



Courtesie of Yahoo Answers:

The loss to Buffalo derailed the Jets' plans to make it to the playoffs this year. While they are not mathematically eliminanted, the plug is about to be pulled. I will assume that they will not catch NE for the divison lead. Fighting for the final two playoff spots, they have two teams ahead of them in record, and two teams tied with them for the same record. Of these four teams they own the tiebreaker only against KC (better conference record). Jacksonville has a one game lead and has beaten the Jets already this year, so essentaily the Jags have a two game lead with three to play. Barring a complete meltdown from NE and assuming the Jags are in, the Jets need to win out and hope that Denver and Cinncy don't make it to 10-6. Denver and Cinncy both play in week 16, so this makes it even more challanging for the Jets. Denver needs go 2-1, Cinncy needs to go 1-2, and/or the Jags need to go 0-3.Also if NE goes 10-6 (1-2) or 9-7 (0-3) and the Jets win out, the Jets will win the East.

First of all, thank you to the person who did that work. I was trying to figure it out on my own and had the Jets winning their division. But that was the good olde Jets fan in me trying to will a playoff birth for my Jets. Sometimes I think the NFL powers that be rely on this blog for their processes and procedures. So in my delusional Jets fan mind, I think that if they rely on this blog to see who is in the playoffs then I could put the Jets as having home field advantage all the way through the playoffs and they would beleive it. I was going to have them playing the Raiders every week of the playoffs and then having them playing the Raiders in the Superbowl.

Ok sorry, now back to reality. The Jets are in a weird spot right now. They basically need to do their part and win all of their games here on out. That is all they can control so they need to focus on what they can control.

As for all the other scenarios, lets put that in a Higher Powers hands. So lets say a prayer, "Baby Jesus, if it be your will, please let the players and coaches from the Jags, Cheifs, Broncos and Bengels get sick and lose all of their remaining three games. Perhaps a good way would have them eat at Taco Bell and get E-Coli that way nobody would know you were involved. And Baby Jesus, it if be your will, perhaps you can turn Chad Pennington into a young Brett Favre or Joe Montana. 1989 Montana would do or 1995 Favre would be nice. And if you are bringing back 1989 Montana would it be at all possible if you could bring back 1983 Joe Klecko and 1985 Mark Gastinau. And perhaps after we win the Superbowl, Baby Jesus, could you arrange to have a Death Match between 1985 Gastinau and 1977 Rocky Balboa at Madison Square Garden and donate all the proceeds to the Unruly Jets Fan Fun for Retarded People? Please make the check out to Unruly Jets Fan, I will make sure it gets to the right place. Thank you baby Jesus!"

Listen Jets fans. We have a lot to be grateful this season with the way the Jets have exceeded all of our expectations. So lets not get too crazy if the Jets don't make it to the playoffs. AND LETS GO NUTS IF THEY DO!!!

We need to go into it one game at a time. Next up, Minnasota. Now lets buckle down and go into the land of 50 lakes and fuck some shit up!!!

Jets 31 - Mini-Assholes 10

Write it down!!!!
