Another Last Second Loss !

How many more ways can the Jets lose a game this season? We've had so many games we had won and lost. We should have beaten the Dolphins...twice. We should have beaten the Bills. We had yesterday's game in the bag. Instead of having 6 or 7 wins this year, we just have 4 due to ANOTHER crushing last second loss for the green and white. It's just a bunch of the same S**T, different week. We keep on finding new ways to lose games instead of figuring out how to win a game. We started out 3-0 and if we were able to figure out how to close a game, we'd be sitting on top of the standings instead of looking up at the Patriots who now have a 2 game lead on us and are now going to be pissed off after losing yesterday as we head up to Foxboro.

Things didn't start out well for the Jets as Sanchez under threw a bomb for an interception on the first play of the game setting up a nice drive by the Jags to go up 7-0. So, before we could blink, we are in a 7-0 hole at home for this "Must Win" game.

When the offence needed to score in the 4th, we had a nice drive to recapture the lead after a one yard Thomas Jones TD. However, our streak of NEVER converting the 2-pt conversion continued as Braylon Edwards dropped a ball in his hands which would have put us up by three.

Then, it got ugly. The Jaguars were 80 yards away, and much less since they only needed a field goal. And the Jets defense just let them walk down the field including a few third down conversions that we let them convert with ease. There were a TON of mistackles and players left wide open to catch the ball. However, we only had one time out because we WASTED two of them. The defense called one of the time-outs due to 12 men on the field. This seems to be a weekly occurrence. And then, there was further miscommunication on the sideline when the offense, in scoring position on the 1 yard line, had to waste a time-out as well. The worst play was a 33 yard reception by the Jags where Kerry Rhodes didn't change coverage and assumed he had help. Well, there was no help and the Jags had the ball on the 14 just needing 3 points to win. Basically, unless a miracle missed field goal or if we just let them score a TD, the game was over.

So, there go the Jags, driving for the win with the clock ticking down and we only have one time out. What a freakin' joke.

The biggest joke was that the jets were told by the coaching staff NOT to tackle Jones-Drew and let him score a TD so we'd get the ball back instead of having them kick a field goal with no time left on the clock. I know Jones-Drew put his knee down on purpose but he would have made it to the endzone if we didn't try to tackle him. Now, I'm hearing tha tPouha and Douglasss didn't hear the call to let them score. How can you not hear it? Is the wax build-up so caked to the inside of your ears? Then, the Field Goal. Game Over. YUCK !

There was so may other mistakes during the game. There was the Braylon Edwards 41 yard catch to only fumble the ball on the same play. There was the 2nd Sanchez interception which led to another score. There was the poor offensive play calling AGAIN by Brian Schottenheimer who doesn't like to throw into the endzone when they get close. This guy needs to go after this year.

Now we head to New England where Must Win really means Must Win if you want any chance of salvaging this season and that's not going to be an easy task.
