The Eagles were too cocky, especially their HC. I'm SO glad they got their faces rubbed in the dirt. Hurts is a helluva a QB, but he was simply shut down today and cracked under the pressure - even with the help of the zebras. This doesn't wipe out the 0-12 record against them, but it sure does feel great!
Yes, it was totally embarrasing for the Jets to have never beaten a team. AFAIK, they were the only team in the NFL that had that collar of shame hung around their neck. Thank God, they can finally take that off. It's all the sweeter that they did it with Zach at QB.
Who cares about that stuff. No one on he Jets and few on this board have been alive since 1974. Go Giants tonight that's what important.
I do, and I'm certain that others do as well. There are quite a few oldtimers on this board. Further, imo every Jets fan should care. It's embarrassing whether you were alive in 1974 or not. You're alive now, and should have been embarrassed every time you heard or read that the Jets had never beaten the Eagles. It's a byproduct of how awful the Jets have been over the years.
I did... except I parlayed it with the over... That's ok... glad we won. And I made up for it with other games... thank you Raiders & Jags...
You get embarrassed when the team you root for loses? We are fans but that's are only stake in it. I went to my first Jet game in 1965 and they have lost plenty since then but I never take it personally.
No, not in normal losses, but if they don't show up to play and get blown out, I'm embarrassed for them. The fact that they had never beaten the Eagles was a huge black mark against the team. Do you take no pride in them? It didn't hurt me personally, but each regime and the players should have taken it personally. Similarly, they should be embarrassed that they've never had their own stadium, but rather have always been tenants in someone else's stadium. I think they're the ONLY major sports franchise in the world who has never had its own "home." It's a disgrace.
First game I've missed in years....(a "bachelor party" oyster roast for the JAGS game.... yeah uggh) and of course its a good one. Tried to get to a sportsbar in JAX beach for the JETS game, but the groom was already dick-in-the-dirt drunk by 4pm.... You all are welcome. trying to watch a replay, but 1st one I've found on youtube is painful to watch
The Baby Faced Destroyer I wonder if he reverts into Bruce Banner in the offseason? and for the record.... I wanted to draft Josh Allen (no, not the QB) instead. I was wrong (Allen is still a good player at least)
After further review he fumbled short of the goal line and cannot advance a fumble on 4th down 15 minutes later after further, further review we think it was a touchdown
that was such BS. I did see it kinda explained in a way that made sense but still sucks. the explanation I seen was originally the call was fumble on the 1, recovered by the offense in the end zone. Since it was 4th down the offense can't advance a fumble unless it's the player who originally fumbled it. so by rule, the ball was returned to the spot of the fumble which resulted in a turnover on downs. As a new rule, turnover on downs is automatically reviewed. Upon the review, they were able to see the ball cross the line prior to the fumble, meaning the fumble wasn't a correct call, but they couldn't verify where he was actually down and if he was down before the ball crossed the goal line. All they could verify was basically "not a fumble" and since the original call was a fumble which was proven it wasn't by evidence, they just overturned the fumble making it a de facto TD becuase they had no other option really. To me it looked like he may have been down before the extension. couldn't really tell from the very limited replays and angles they gave us. the fox broadcast was awful. The whole situation sucked and of course we caught the shit end of the stick. EDIT: also in the shit end of the stick, had they just called him down before the extension, it probably stays that way due to the lack of evidence to overturn it
It looked to me like the ball broke the plan and then fumbled - from a TV replay. The late review was weird, but maybe because it was a TO on downs, and the phily coach was going to challenge anyway, so they expedited it?
I don't remember where I heard this, might have been the radio or a podcast, but I think the Eagles were averaging 3 tush pushes a game? We didn't let them run it once against us. Had them consistently in 3rd and long or 3rd and medium to avoid that.
they updated the rule and a turnover on downs is automatically reviewed like all turnovers now. So it was a booth review. that was correct but the lack of explanation we got and the fact they cut to commercial during the review was a shit job on fox who fucked up the whole broadcast and the niners/browns broadcast. fox really sucks.
