Catch The Ball
When Sanchez throws you a perfect bomb in the endzone, Mr. Braylon Edwards, you BETTER catch the DAMN ball !
Revis Gets Screwed
Look at how Revis shut down all receivers this year. He may not have as many INTs as Woodson but man, this guy deserved the Defensive Player Of The Year Award !

WE WIN
They said we backed into the playoffs. They said we were the worst team left standing. They said we can't win with a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback. "THEY" are all wrong.
We not only advanced, we SPANKED the Bengals for the 2nd straight week. And if it weren't for a dropped touchdown by Braylon Edwards, the penalties on the missed field goals, and the B.S. penalties called on the defense, the score would have been worse that 24-14.
The Jets have the #1 defense in the league. The Jets have the #1 rushing attack in the league. You can't overlook these stats and realize that Jets are not going to be an easy opponent for anyone. It's time to show the league and the Chargers that Gang Green is ready to take the next step.
Things didn't start out great falling behind 7-0 which was set up by a long kick off return putting them in a good position. But, that was quickly erased.
Sanchez was great completing 12 of 15 for 182 yards, 1 touchdown (and should have been two if Braylon didn't drop the ball), and ZERO turnovers.
Besides Sanchez, the star of the game was Jay Feely. He was forced to be our punter due to Weatherford's irregular heartbeat. After that first botched punt, he followed up by two great punts to pin the Bengals deep. For someone that never punted the ball in a game before, he did a great job and saved the season for us with his leg.
Revis Island held Ochocinco to another amazing two catches for 28 yards. Can you say "shut-down corner" ?
The only negative of the game was the defense not being able to stop Cedric Benson rushing for 169 yards. Besides that, there was no stopping the D.
Shonn Green had a great day going for 135 yards and a TD. Dustin Keller was responsible for two 40+ yard receptions and a TD.
So, the Jets get NO respect. That's fine. But, check out these stats:
1.) Sanchez was 12 for 15, 182 yards and a passer rating of 139.4, the highest ever for a rookie in the post season.
2.) Sanchez became just the 4th rookie QB in NFL history to win his post season debut, joining Shaun King ('99 Bucs), Ben Roethlisberger ('04 Steelers) and Joe Flacco ('08 Ravens). Sanchez and Flacco are the only ones to do it on the road.
3.) Jets rookie Shonn Greene carried 21 times for 135 yards and a TD. Greene's total was tied for the third highest by a rookie in his post season debut since the merger. It was also tied for the second-highest single-game total in Jets post season history.
4.) Greene was the third rookie since 2000 to rush for 100 yards in a playoff game.
5.) The Jets were the 2nd team in history (last time was 1933) where a Rookie passed for a TD and a rookie ran for a TD.
BRING ON THE CHARGERS !

Not Many Off Season Draft Picks !
Doesn't look like we are gonna have many draft picks this year ! Let's hope the Lito Sheppard and Braylon Edwards trade doesn't make us lose a 2nd Round Pick. Lito should be a 4th Rounder and Braylon should be a 5th Rounder. Then, we lose our 7th rounder for sure and if we have to give up ANYTHING for Kevin O'Connel, that's a total joke:
7TH ROUND - Green Bay to New York Jets (returned): Green Bay traded its 2010 seventh-round selection and quarterback Brett Favre to the Jets for the Jets' 2009 third-round selection. The Jets acquired this pick as part of the conditional agreement of the trade in which Favre's performance resulted in the Packers receiving the Jets' 2009 third-round selection, coupled with Favre retiring after the 2008 season. However, this pick has been returned to the Packers.
2ND, 3RD, or 4TH ROUND - New York Jets to Philadelphia: New York traded a 2009 fifth-round selection and a conditional 2010 selection to Philadelphia for CB Lito Sheppard. Depending on Sheppard's playing time in 2009 and if Sheppard is not released by the Jets prior to the beginning of a contract extension beginning in March 2010, the selection could be in the second, third, or fourth round. If Sheppard is released prior to March 2010 and he plays less than 40% of the Jets defensive snaps in 2009, the Eagles will receive no 2010 pick from the Jets through this trade.
2ND or 3RD, and 5TH ROUND - New York Jets to Cleveland. New York traded a conditional third round pick, as well as a fifth round pick, WR Chansi Stuckey, and LB Jason Trusnik, to Cleveland for WR Braylon Edwards. The third-round pick can become a second-round pick based on Edwards' performance with New York.
TBA ROUND - New York Jets to Detroit. The Jets traded an undisclosed 2010 draft choice to Detroit for quarterback Kevin O'Connell.
Long Shot
They say we are a long shot to win the Super Bowl but let's just take care of business one game at at time !

Revis Island
He's stopped them week after week. The most recent was Ochocinco's ZERO catches ! Bring on Ochocinco again this Saturday and get LOST on REVIS ISLAND !
Conspiracy?
Just because 40 things had to happen for the Jets to make the playoffs doesn't mean we have a conspiracy !
Confidence
A few weeks of no mistakes from Sanchez has him feeling confident ! Can't complain about that !

WE ARE IN !!!
They Came. We Saw. And then Kicked Their Asses ! And this is despite the 20 degree kickoff temperature and 4 degree windchills !
They Giants had their chance to close down the stadium last week. Result: They got murdered.
The Jets then had their chance to close down the stadium. Result: They murdered the opposition !
I don't know where to begin. The weather was freezing but it was a "win and you're in" game.
And the Jets came out and more than won; they sent a statement to the Bengals for a rematch next week that we are here to play.
Just think about this year. We wound up 9-7. However, there were FIVE games we blew. If we were able to close out games, we could have been 14-2 with a chance to host the AFC Championship. No one will give the Jets any respect. We beat the undefeated Colts. Yeah, some players weren't playing but we were still in the game with their starters in. We beat the Bengals and destroyed them with their starters in. Maybe we are finally in that groove and have the confidence and game plans to beat some teams. No one gave the Arizona Cardinals a chance when they were 9-7 and they wound up in the Super Bowl. I sure wouldn't want to face our defense in a one game playoff.
But last night was not just a game to make the playoffs. It was a statement and the statement read loud and clear: We have the #1 Rushing Offense in the League. We have the #1 Defense in the League. That's our game. Try and stop it ! And we did most of yesterday's damage against their starters.
Here are some tidbits from last night's game.
1.) We won 37-0 shutting out the Bengals and notching our 2nd shutout of the season.
2.) We clinched our 1st playoff (the #5 Seed) birth in 3 years with a Rookie Head Coach and a Rookie Quarterback.
3.) After losing 6 of 7 games in the middle of the season, the Jets rebounded by winning 5 of their last 6 games.
4.) We held the Bengals to just 5 first downs the entire game and have now lost 3 out of 4 games heading into our rematch next week.
5). We shut out the Bengals, their first shutout since 2001.
6.) We rushed for 258 yards and had 3 different players with 60+ yards rushing.
7.) Brad Smith had a career high 92 yards while getting his first rushing TD (a 32 yarder) of the season.
8.) If was the Jets first shutout at home since beating the Steelers 6-0 on December 14, 2003.
9.) Sanchez finished 8 for 16, 63 yards, and NO turnovers.
10.) Thomas Jones ran for 78 yards and two touchdowns in setting a Jets team record for his 14th rushing TD (also a career high). He finished the season with 1,402 yards rushing.
11.) The Jets set a record for rushing yards in a season - 2,756 yards breaking the last mark that stood since 1979.
12.) Carson Palmer finished 1 for 11, with ZERO yards passing. WOW ! Once replaced, the backup didn't complete a pass for positive yardage either.
13.) The Jets ran 24 plays while the Bengals had just three, outgaining the Bengals by 138 yards to 1 yard in the 1st quarter.
14.) By halftime, the Jets had 250 yards with 190 of them on the ground, while the Bengals had a total of 7 yards of offense.

20.) This season, the Jets allowed only 252.3 yards a game, 32.1 yards fewer than the next closest team.

23.) Jets set a team record for fewest points allowed per game - 14.8 points.
24.) Jets set a team record for fewest TD passes allowed in a season - 8.
25.) Rex Ryan, joining Herman Edwards and Eric Mangini, became the third straight Jets rookie coach to get to the playoffs. Ryan was actually the fifth consecutive Jets coach in his first season to face an elimination game in the final week.
26.) Mark Sanchez will be the only starting rookie QB in the playoffs this season.
27.) Calvin Pace, who made the playoffs for the first time in his seven-year career, had his team-leading eighth sack of the season.
