Frankly, I am still pissed the Jets lost.  We had that game, well some of it.  I hate going into work after a Jets loss, all tweaked out knowing my beloved Jets have failed me and left us with a miserable Monday to deal with.  Monday’s are bad enough!

Seriously, how does Sanchez throw for career yardage and lose the game? I think the Jets going for it on 4th and goal was a questionable call with a minute to go.  If it was me, I’d kick the field goal and try to recover the onside kick.  Maybe that’s safer but at least you get a chance.  Of course they could have scored the touchdown and broke our hearts another way but we’ll never know.

Note to the NFL: If you have a running back that hasn’t had a career day, just jot down when the Jets are on your schedule and be ready, your time has come.  Where was the Jets Defense against the run? It was like an error 404 Not found.

My prediction for next week versus Baltimore is  Jets 24 – Baltimore 17.  Think I am crazy, feel free to leave a comment!

A bit late I know, but it sure was an interesting week leading up to Sunday’s 9-11 Memorial and the start of the NFL season. New terror alerts caused an uneasiness across the country affecting New Yorker’s  in particular but it was met with resolve and determination by all Americans, to not have our plans altered by these threats.

For me that included a weekend drive to upstate NY that required crossing over three bridges in order to celebrate my Mom’s 60th birthday, which I needed to get to regardless of any possible threat or face certain death anyway.

We left for home early Sunday morning on 9-11, listening to the memorial on the radio, wondering the things you wonder when anything can happen but not worried enough to do anything less than what you set out to do.  We made it home with no issues and my wife and I are so thankful to live in such a great country.

I love America and I love all that comes with it, good and bad.  I talked about the bad, now the good.  FOOTBALL!

At 1PM EST, the NFL season went into full blast with games played across the nation.  Prior to kick-off, I made sure all my fantasy line-ups were set, visited the beer distributor and made myself comfy for a long day and night of Football!

And what a great Football day and an awesome Football night if you’re a Jets fan, although it did not start out that way.  The Jets and Cowboys faced off last Sunday and you could just tell it was going to be one of those kinds of Jets games.  The game started with President Bush somehow rigging the coin toss, giving Dallas the ball first.

Dallas went on to drive right down the field and made the Jets D look more like the Nets D, unable to stop anything.  Dez Bryant was looking mighty fine early, luckily he tweaked something in his leg which made him less of a target throughout the game.

Sanchez looked awful the first few series but the team remained composed and ready to strike back.  Sanchez had touchdown passes to his favorite target Dustin Keller and perhaps a new favorite, Plaxico Burress.

Add some great Defensive plays which included a blocked punt for a TD and a game changing interception by the only inhabitant on Revis Island,  gave us a chance to use Nick Folk, formerly of Dallas, against them leaving them wondering what the Folk just happened.

I gotta be honest, I thought the game was over going into the 4th quarter, actually passed out for about 10 minutes only to wake up seconds before the Revis pick and the Folk kick! What a game!

Sometimes being a Jets fan is truly rewarding and I anticipate many more nail-bitters, hair-splitters and stomach-churners this year.

I just want to thank the NFL and the Jets for taking care of business and making sure there was Football this year and hopefully every year for the rest of my life.  On a day of remembrance we felt the sadness of the loss of nearly 3,000 American brothers and sisters, but on the same day we felt the greatness of America which made me feel even prouder to be an American.

God bless the USA and all of the men and women in support of the mission.  Until you all come home!

I love the Jets, but I tread carefully.  Every year we have the same hopes and dreams, which for me involves the following: beating the Pats, the Fins, the Bills, dominating the AFC East and hopefully handling business with the rest of the schedule.  Now will this happen?  That’s what we are all going to find out.

This year the Jets made alot of moves in the off-season, releasing Braylon and his beard, letting go of Brad Smith(kinda pissed about that), adding the disco dancing, gun blasting Plex and Derrick Mason should help the Sanchize along the way.

Shonn Greene should have an epic year because I passed on him in all my Fantasy Drafts and I’m excited to see how much Marc has matured now that he has 2 years under his belt.

The NFL season starts tonight and I could not be more excited.  Beer in the fridge, food in the store(gotta go shopping) and 3 Fantasy Football  teams to enhance the NFL experience.  I do love this time of year!

Always positive but eternally wary.  Let’s go Jets!
