A Murder In Gillette Stadium




This is how the Jets perform against the Patriots for the biggest regular season game in the Jets team history – they go out and suffer one of the most embarrassing loses in team history.

Police, there was a murder last night in Gillette Stadium. Actually, there has been a mass murder right on the field.

I don’t know where to begin. I started typing this at 38-3 and realistically, I should have begun typing it at 10-0.

What a joke. This team played flatter than a girl who hasn’t started puberty yet. You would think they would play with emotion. They didn’t. You would think they would play smart. They didn’t. You would think they would put up a fight. Well, they were KO’d before half-time.

The coaching was an embarrassment. Rex Ryan has no clue how to manage challenges and time outs. Why would you challenge the spot of a short run if you were going to go for it anyway on 4th down? And then, why wouldn’t you challenge the touchdown where he could have been out of bounds? Why? Because he wasted one challenge that he shouldn’t have used and didn’t want to be left without one for the remainder of the game. And where was our game plan? We had 11 days to prepare for this? Did we not do any homework?

The kicking was terrible. Nick Folk missed one. Nick Folk’s kickoffs were short. Our punting was even worse. The tackling was beyond miserable. And a block in the back penalty negated the one nice run on a kick off.

The loss of Jim Leonard showed. He was missed on punt returns. He was surely missed on defense as Eric Smith had a bad day with a bad penalty in the end zone and some poor coverage throughout.

The offense was pretty pathetic. Yeah, it was cold but that’s December football. Sanchez had 3 bad interceptions the last I counted. The first was a killer as it would have put us within striking distance after half time and make a game out of it. But, things got worse after that pick. There was also too many drops on offense. Not good.

But worse was the defense. Were they still sleeping? Maybe they were drugged. Yeah, that’s it. Kraft was still so pissed off from the whole Spygate Incident that he decided to drop a Xanax in each of the Jets Gatorade cups. That’s what it is.

The way we let Danny Woodhead look like a Pro-Bowler is embarrassing. Yeah, I like the kid you can’t let him run you down like that. We have absolutely zero pass rush. We had a stint of two sacks in a row but that was about the size of it. You’ll never beat a team like this if you give the QB all day to throw the ball.

The Jets just seemed unprepared. The only good I take out of this game is that we split the season series with the Pats. But, that’s it. We barely beat bad teams the last 6 weeks and now got murdered by a good team.

The Jets need to show that they can beat a good team. They must first fry the fish and then go out and beat a team like the Bears and Steelers to convince me that they below in the playoffs.

I’m so mad I can’t sleep. I’m sure every Jets fan is just and disgusted right now.
