Well, Sunday is going to to beyond ugly no matter who starts. The Cheats are coming off a bad loss and a bye. I'm sure they're salivating. Not to sound like a Negative Nancy, but um, I don't think the Jets are winning regardless of who starts. I just got the text below from my rabid Jets fan friend, Vinnie: "If Sam Darnold starts against the Patriots on Sunday, he will become the 9th Jets QB to face off with Tom Brady as the opposing starter. Here is how the others have fared: Vinny Testaverde 2001-2003 /0-3 Chad Pennington 2002-2007 /2-7 Brooks Bollinger 2005 /0-2 Mark Sanchez 2009-2012 /3-6 Geno Smith 2011-2014 /1-3 Ryan Fitzpatrick 2015-2016 /1-2 Bryce Petty 2016-2017 /0-2 Josh McCown 2017 /0-1 7-26. PAIN. Maybe we should borrow Sanchez for the week. It will be at least a 21 pt. deficit pain filled affair for sure, and the pain will linger throughout the Holidays." Get your @HomeoftheJets limited edition Jets bag for your head while supplies last! EDIT: I have no clue why all the numbers bunched up together. It was formatted just fine right before I hit submit. I tried to fix it, but when I hit the Edit button, same thing, it looks fine. Sorry about the eye strain and that you have to squint to see the horror. Oh, and can CMan or Brook! please pin at their discretion. Thanks. I guess. :/ -jeto
I know a lot of fans are more concerned about the draft pick and getting Bowles fired at this point, but the home Pats game is the one I can never root against us in even during lost seasons. Really feels like we have a chance to step on the throat of the Pats dynasty here. If we knock them off, it’ll almost ensure that they play during Wild Card Weekend and have to play 2 road games if they want to win the AFC. Not sure they can handle that anymore, and the first round bye would be huge for Brady to recover at age 41. Plus, teams around the league are starting to play the Pats with more confidence. If they lose to a hapless Jets team, it’ll really knock them down another peg and maybe put a dent into their own confidence. Hopefully Darnold starts. Go Jets. Let’s end this shit.
Any Jet fan rooting for a loss here should be ashamed. These are the cheats we are talking about. I hope we crush them.
@Big Cat I wish I shared your enthusiasm on this one. I hope you're right, though. It would be great if the Jets could spoil the party. Beating the Cheats twice would make my year and almost make this crapfest of a season palatable. P.S.: Jamal Adams' stalker still has not been arrested per police sources.
No way the Jets win. I just hope they don't pull another no-show like they did against the Bills. FTLoG, don't embarrass yourselves Jets. At least give the Pats a game...
Oh, you know they're out there. GO JETS!!! I probably won't make it past the 3rd Q if it turns into a massacre. However, if we pull this one out (sigh), that would be delightful. Royal Tee will sit there like an idiot in subzero temperatures until the clock is 00:00 even if it's 80-3 in the 4th Q. I don't know how he does it.
Come on, when’s the last time the Pats blew us out at home? Pretty sure it was the buttfumble 6 years ago. The Jets always play the home game close even when the team is falling apart. Pretty sure it’s because they treat it like their Super Bowl.
We go back a long way. You haven't lived until you walked into a game at the the beginning of the 2nd Q from your tailgate or walked out on the Jets. I don't think he's ever done either in his life, that loser. ; )
Mr. Fancy Pants, are you. You have no idea how long it took me to figure out FTLoG! For the life of George! Foot Log! Foot longs! For the love of God, I finally got it! Kids today with their acronyms. Signed, -Mrs. championjets69
I’m expecting the usual Pats performance - matching them effort and possession-wise for most of the first three quarters but always slightly behind the score. I think this game will be the worst of all outcomes - a consolation loss - where Bowles comes out of it with some credit. Pats 27 Jets 17
