Jets Choke Again

It pains me with every fiber in my body to write this. The Jets choked, they blew it when it mattered the most. They looked over-matched and were out-played/out-coached in the most meaningful game of the season.

The Jets promising season came to an end last Sunday as Ryan FitzMagic looked more like Ryan FitzTragic in the most decisive game of the season,

Most of the Jets players and their fans are still hurting. All they had to do was win 1 more game and they were in, but Rex Ryan had other plans. This was his "Super Bowl" and it's the only "Super Bowl" he'll ever win. It doesn't matter, he had his guys prepared and was ready to go to war to keep the Jets out of the playoffs, in which he succeeded. 

The Jets problems in that game were on all 3 sides of the ball. Offensively, they could not get anything going and featured Stevan Ridley more than Chris Ivory. Which I still cannot fathom. Defensively, the defense could not get a 3rd down stop all game long and Darelle Revis looked like a rather pedestrian cornerback. Special Teams, Ryan Squibley, the Fat Kicker, and the Fair Catch King struck again. 

Although this season is a huge improvement over last, it's not a successful one. The whole goal is to make the playoffs and make a run to win the Super Bowl. The Jets blew that opportunity, they had 1 game to win and could not do it. I cannot remember a season where the AFC was this wide open, the Jets could have potentially made a Super Bowl run and that's why this loss hurts even more.

I do not think I have it in me to forgive the Jets for blowing this. Will still be a fan for life and live through the pain and suffering. But man, it hurts knowing that your team could be one of 8 teams playing this weekend.
