This past Sunday’s game the NY Jets took a positive mental step forward this season with an EPIC victory over the New England Patriots. Mark Sanchez and the rest of the crew were up to the task this week and boy was it a task.
Watching the game, you got that same old feeling that Brady was going to go off on the Jets as they held the ball for the majority of the 1st QTR running 20+ plays to the Jets who only managed a 3-and-out.
Panic was creeping in until I got a text from my Dad, My old man texted me the obvious “The Jets stink and Will Not Win”. I was a bit upset because it was the 1st QTR but, I do tend to believe him as his year’s of experience dealing with Gang Green has taught me well.
Then I got another text from my old man that said: “Now that that’s out of the way, the Jets will take it in the second half” That’s more like it I thought as I watched the Jets march down the field and tie up the game, only to give up a big drive on the following possession allowing the the Pats to score and make it a 14-7 game.
This is usually when a Jets fan knows that there is something in the air and it might not be your day. BUT this is when the Jets, knowing they get the ball back in the second half, drive down the field with under a minute and score 3 to get some momentum back and it worked.
The Jets DEFENSE stifled Tom Brady the entire second half. Nothing worked for them which was great to watch on TV. We picked Brady off 2x and we got a few calls to boot which is exactly what you need to win. Combine that with the fact that Sanchez had his best day as a Jet and things start to look a little better.
