"It's been a long road Getting from there to here It's been a long time But my time is finally near And I can feel the change in the wind right now Nothings in my way And they're not gonna hold me down no more No there not gonna hold me down Cause I've got faith of the heart I'm going where my heart will take me I've got faith to believe I can do anything I've got strength of the soul And no one's gonna bend or break me I can reach any star"
Heaven Save me from this prison Lord help me get away Cause only you can save me now From this misery Cause I've been lost in my own place And I'm getting' weary How far is heaven And I know I need to change My ways of livin' How far is heaven, Lord can you tell me Cause I've been locked up way too long In this crazy world, how far is heaven I just keep on prayin' Lord Just keep on livin', how far is heaven Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven I just got to know how far, how far is heaven Lord can you tell me Tu que estas en alto cielo, Echame tu bendici?n [translated from Spanish] [You that's in a higher place Send me down a blessing] Cause I know there's a better place Than this place I'm livin', how far is heaven So I just got to show some faith And just keep on giving, how far is heaven Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven I just wanna know how far, how far is heaven, Lord can you tell me, how far is heaven, 'cause I just gotta know how far, I just wanna know far...Los Lonely Boys
actually, aren't we going to be alive tuesday no matter what happens? I don't think the Jets can be eliminated this week even if we lose.
"What will I do? What will I do?" Sometimes I don?t stop to think that the Jets had won (1) SuperBowl, so I had two experiences upon which to draw for guidance. I could've chosen the tack I took in 1976, which was to be two years old and not care about football in the slightest. Or, more realistically, I could have relived 1998 and said, Well, we were never gonna beat those guys anyway." Either one would have been fine. I finally came to the conclusion -- during the 4th quarter of the AFC championship game -- that if the Jets failed to win the game, I'd do exactly what I've always done: live my life. Nothing about the Jets or football would change, so why should my mindset or my sense of urgency? The Jets have always not won. The sun is always hot. Yes, I was still plagued, two months after the game, by the occasional stab of pain: "We had it in the bag! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" And indeed the memory of the (AFC Championship game, Raiders playoff game and the Steelers playoff game etc?) loss is still painful. Still, somehow the loss didn't put me into the funk I expected. That's probably good. Peace out.
heartbreak is an unfortunate part of being a jets fan. i suffer from unrealistic expectations... I expect GOOD CHAD, not bad chad. Maybe this year is different. I will be glad if we get good chad as opposed to bad chad. Bad chad makes us all sad.
I am happy with the season thus far. If it ends, it ends. I was expecting a season more like the 49rs of last year. I was not expecting 8 wins. I am not expecting playoffs. I expect playoffs next year after a good offseason, and a good solid draft. A draft where we draft some young playmakers and skill positions. Maybe a couple of huge lineman too. If we beat Miami, that would be gravy. If we don't, well I am already happy with this season. It had the makings of being a season of emense growing pains. Instead we are playing meaningfull games in December. Lifes good=) If Miami wins, it is because they play hard and the Jets still have some growing pains and jelling to do from the coaches to the players. If the Jets win, it solidifies the team that much more in that they learn how to win big games together. Either way, its going to be a great game and a great day.
You can't go into the game having any attitude remotely negative. You have to think positive. That's what I'm doing. Christmas is going to be great. Christmas NIGHT could be great too
at least its not a Christmas Eve game..if they lose my Christmas won't be ruined...more like my next week
you cant say that this isnt one of the best possible positions to be in as a jets fan and as a sports fan. playing hated rivals on monday night football to stay alive in the playoffs, in a season where we were expected to go nowhere. i think this week no one really knows what to expect because we haven't seen this team play in a true do or die circumstance. im tryin to stay optimistic and completely believe that we are more than capable of winning, but i really cant be sure and thats what makes it awesome. i dont know if anyone will believe me but one of my best friends is a dolphins fan, and preseason i predicted jets go 10-6 and dolphins 6-10, and when we saw the mnf schedule i told him that this game would be exactly what it is, jets in the middle of playoff race and miami trying to play spoiler. he laughed. no matter what happens this is what bein a fan is all about and i cant freakin wait til this game man.
As my dad would say, "Ive seen these cards before." Win and in history--last game of season: 91 @ Miami WIN (lost three straight before win) 93 @ Houston LOSS (lost three of four before game) 97 @ Detroit LOSS (won week before) 00 @ Balt LOSS (Lost last three games of season) 01 @ Oak WIN (Lost week before) 02 @ Pack WIN (won last two)
Believe!!!! Yeah, we gotta believe that Mangini will have the team ready to KICK BUTT on Monday Night! Stay positive!! Root like there's no tomorrow!! :jets:
I agree and I hate to say this from a division rival but especially with Lee Evans making game changing plays like he has being doing its been hard for defenses not to let that big play happen, like it happen twice for 83 and 82 yards in a game, just awful. Ohhh but what about our jets???? just when we thought this was going to be an awful season for us they surprise us and actually make a run at the playoffs, we are going to win!!!!!!!! and heck we are going to win the division!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry for that but after all i have been through this year at least I have to try to stay positive and the more the better). Anyway if we lose much of us will see this season as a success, but maybe some of us will get mad, just curse at the other teams several times, while some will just realize that its just another year of their lives that has passed away without tasting the real thing!!! but those will be the ones we play on the first round of the playoffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry i must be :drunk: nah let's score some touchdowns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and chant J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:finssuck: If you don't like it you better learn to love it ! Baby! We are here and nobody thought we would be! Woo! I get ready every week to have my heart broke! I got to say though, after the Chadster got up after getting wolopd in i think it was the pats that feeling of confidence kicked in just a little bit, and it felt good, so lets jump on the fuckin band wagon and just cheer the mother fuckers on like it's the super bowl! No ! What ifs! or i'm not sures! Go JetsGo! Woooooooo! Baby!
