    Can we finally drop this dumb fuck cliche? Not only does it only reveal our own insecurities about lacking control over the outcome, so we make ourselves feel better by inventing things that we hope influence the outcome on our behalf, but it simply isn't true.

    They were simply out manned today. They got beat up.

    The Jets do play better with targets on their backs, at least it seems that way. But they don't play well when they...


    ... get smacked in the mouth...

    ... play in Philadelphia...

    ... pretend Santonio Holmes is an elite receiver...

    ... just saying.

    Totally agree...the underdog routine ain't working.

    We now need to shift into "lucky" mode.





    It's working for those non-elite Giants, right?

    Underdogs or not, the Jets do not have the personnel to go toe to toe with the NFL's Top Guns. Expecting a huge roster shake up in the offseason after this subpar season.
