Well, 7-5 huh? How nice does that sound with 4 games to go. There are 5 teams in the wild card hunt all with a 7-5 record. Two of these teams will make the show and 3 go golfing. How sweet would it be! A team predicted to win 3 to 4 games and be one of the worst teams in the NFL are now 4 wins away from making the playoffs. I'm guessing if you get 11 wins, you'll make it. This has been a fun year with no expectations but that is what made it so sweet being the sleeper team of this NFL season. Yesterday romp in Green Bay made this joyous journey that much more enjoyable.
A few years ago, a trip up to Green Bay to face Farve and the Packers was an automatic loss on the schedule. However, yesterday, was pure domination. Chad was on fire in the first half hooking up with 8 different receivers to go over 200 yards passing by half-time. Everything was working and before you could blink, we were entering half time up 31 to zip.
The third quarter was a bit sloppy giving up 10 points combined with two Pennington interceptions and an onsides kick we lost again. We had -1 yards of offense in the quarter leading up to the last play where we gained 9 yards to give us positive yardage in the quarter. Then, we drove to silence the crowd to make the score 38-10. Can you say GAME OVER !
Now, we face another Must Win game on this journey to the promised land. This time is the division rival Bills. Could this miracle season end with a playoff birth? I'm not sure because these are The Jets. However, I'm sure having fun knowing that I'm going to a December game with meaning.
