Did the Jets dress up as the Bills for Halloween?


I know the Jets are just getting off a bye week, but that is no excuse to play like they did today. I was actually ashamed to be a Jets fan, I already stripped this game from my memory lol! 
Mark Sanchez and Brian Schottenheimer - where do I even begin? Schotty, I am sorry but you need to either a) step up your play calling or b) get fired. I am hoping for option b...! I hate how he calls all the wrong plays at the worst possible time. I can tell you what the Jets offense does. 1st down run, 2nd down run, 3rd down throw (of course they don't make the first down), 4th down punt. The end! Schotty never calls good plays. He always puts a 3d down play in a 1st down spot or vice-versa. And it drives me insane!! I pretty much think I can do a better job as offensive coordinator than he can. And to be fair to Sanchez, he has a good arm and when HE calls the plays they go well! So let the 2nd year QB call the right plays and take your team to the Suberbowl!! 
Jerricho Cotchery -today wasn't your day buddy. You couldn't hold onto the ball for anything. I don't even know why they threw to you. Everybody knew you were getting the ball and you couldn't complete a pass! It was torture watching you struggle.
Santonio Holmes and Dustin Keller - I forgot you two were even Jets! They barely used you today. This bothers me because you are both phenomenal play makers and we needed a spark like you today! Note to Schotty: THROW TO HOLMES AND DK!
I really hope this game today sparks a fire under these Jets booties! I want to be on top of the AFC!! Lets go JETS.

Revis should stay on his Island


I am not a fan of Darrelle Revis. In my opinion, the Jets payed him way to much money (considering he was still under contract) and he isn't worth it. He got hurt a couple weeks ago, because he wasn't in the rhythm of playing football - since he took off all of summer training camp! And he hasn't been his normal self ever since. He is usually good and on top of his opponents. It annoys me how Jet fans put him on a very high pedestal. He isn't a cornerback God. The Jets defense is great without Revis, so stop acting like we need him so much. I actually like Antonio Cromartie more than Revis, he is less of a talker and more of an action taker. 
Someone else who shocked me is Dwight Lowery. He will come out of nowhere and basically win the game for you (he has already done it twice this season). He is a secret weapon who everyone overlooks because the Jets roster is full of football stars, and I love it.

Vinny and the Cowboys

The other day my Dad told me a very inspirational story. 



He goes to a cigar bar and most of the guys there are into football. There are Giant, Jets and Cowboy fans there, and they all like to have a good time and watch the games together. One of the Cowboys fans is named Vinny, he is a little special mentally and he works for East Brunswick High School (doing technical/electrical things). 

Once a year Vinny buys tickets to a game in Dallas along with the flight and hotel accommodations. Vinny bought 2 tickets to the October 25th Monday night game versus the New York Giants and of course he was very excited to go (they are rivals after all!) 
While taking his mom to chemotherapy, Vinny spotted a ten-year-old boy wearing all Cowboys apparel from head to toe (also receiving chemotherapy). He went up to the little boy and asked if he was a Cowboys fan, the little boy said yes. Vinny then asked if the boy has ever been to a game in Dallas and the boy responded no, and his father added that it is very expensive and they are having a tough time affording the chemo. Vinny told them to hold on, and he left to get something. Minutes later Vinny returned with the 2 tickets to the Monday night game, along with his flight and hotel accommodations,  and gave it to the boy and his father. The boy was beyond excited and very thankful that Vinny did that for him.

My father and I tried contacting the Dallas Cowboys to see if they could do anything for the boy but we hardly got responses. The only response I got was on Twitter from Jesse Holley saying "wow that is a great story!!" I just wish that corporations had more heart and understood what this boy goes through everyday, and could've done something to take his experience to the next level. 

It honestly baffles me that people like Vinny do such nice things for people, and "normal" people with no problems are selfish and take everything for granted. You will never get anywhere in the world if you don't help others. Not only is it a great thing, but there is such pleasure in knowing you made somebodies life a little bit better.  And as a football fan, I hope more fans do things like this for each other. 



New York - New York Superbowl

So lately I've been hearing all this talk about the Superbowl possibly being NY-NY, the Jets vs. the Giants. Unlike most people, I doubt this will happen any time soon. 


I would like to hope that someday soon the Jets will go to the Superbowl (and win) but the Jets team and coaches all need to be on the same page. Yes, the Jets are doing great this year but they can always use improvements. One point is the offensive line and coordinator. I do not think Brian Schottenheimer is good for Sanchez or the Jets, but that is a whole discussion on it's own, lol.


The Giants are good, but Superbowl worthy? I do no think so. They have their ups and downs but I don't think this year is the year for big blue.


Most of the Jets players are not even concerned with the Giants (via ESPN http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5734739)


Damien Woody said, "I know we do a good job of talking about the Super Bowl and all that stuff but I have too many worries on my hands to think about the Giants. I can't worry about what the Giants have going on."


"No disrespect to the New York Giants," said Darrelle Revis, "but I don't pay attention to them. We have a lot of stuff here we want to accomplish. I don't think anyone in our locker room should be focused on what the Giants are doing."


Coach Rex Ryan stated, "I'll dream about the Super Bowl ... but the opponent doesn't matter to me. It could be the Giants, it could be Dallas, it could be anybody. As long as we're there, I could care less who we play."


There are 9 more weeks left in the regular season and anything can happen...but I think a NY/NY Superbowl is a little far fetched lol!
