Seeing Jets success is like a life milestone at this point. I want to be pumped for the Jets like this again.
The craziest part is how much all of our lives have probably changed during these years. Imagine having a kid in 2011 and not realizing they'd be attending high school before the Jets won another playoff game.
I know I had fun that day. Of course I went to the other game they played in Foxboro weeks earlier when Rex got destroyed. Obviously that game made this victory seem even more improbable.
This game cemented my love for the Jets, I mean what's better than a team of brash ass-kickers going into Foxboro and knocking the stinking Pats out of the playoffs? Watching the Jets that season is the reason why I got myself a Revis jersey too. No player since has given me cause to update my wardrobe, at this point I'm thinking of just going with a classic Namath jersey as my alternate.
Our day in the sun. It was do or die, and then, yeah, well . . . One of the biggest highlights after the Santonio Holmes TD was hearing Jim Nantz, that Cheats sycophant and ass kisser eat shit. "I don't think he's in, Phil." "That's a catch, Jim. He's in." "Oh, I don't know . . . " "It's a touchdown, Jim."
Cotcherys play was the most important play of that game. Patriots had momentum and then lost it right there before setting up the Holmes TD. Crazy we used to crap on Schotty but in retrospect he was probably better than anyone we have had since. That Holmes catch was designed play he called there. Easy throw for Sanchez to make and hard for any defender to stop.
Peak cinema and fandom moment since I been following them. Really sucks how awful it's been. That team should have made it to the super bowl
So sad. That year I thought the Jets were going to be contenders for the next 5-6 years and the Jets struck gold with Rex/Sanchez. But nope... The Jets collapse came right after that game when they basically got blown out by the Steelers in the first half of the next game and have been a shit show ever since.
