    I have no doubt we win. None at alll.

    Chad always has come through when he had to win to get in.

    You nailed it! We older fans can still feel the sting of past let downs.

    They have never let down against a team as bad as the Raiders in a season finale with a playoff spot on the line. A loss today would be unprecedented.

    Just because a person has never been run over by a truck while wearing a brown shirt (he's been hit while wearing blue, green and black)...doesn't mean it is safe to cross the highway.

    That is true, but has nothing to do with the post I quoted and my comment.

    PF4JETS and yourself are worried about a loss today solely based on this team's history. The problem is there is no precedent here. In other words, all week long I have been trying to tell you darksiders to enjoy the game.

    It's as relevant as your comment. The fact that the Jets have never lost a season finale to a bad team with a playoff berth on the line is finding a technicality to prove they will win. The truth is this team has a history of melting down when expectations are high.

    I expect a win. But I was a bit cautious as well.

    Re-read how the thread developed.

    I quoted something written by KOWIE that this game was akin to other Jets letdowns. Well, it just isn't because there was no other game like this.

    Did I write that the Jets would win today because of a technicality, because they were for the first time ever playing in a game like this against a poor team? No, I did not. What I did was explain that comparing this game to other types of letdowns was wrong.

    Yeah, I don't want any trouble with you being that I think you are one of the top posters here in terms of quality posts.

    I am on edge because a couple posters have really irritated me of late.
    (Let the record show, KOWIE certainly was not one of them. I just disagreed with what he wrote in this thread.)

    The Jets won this game because they are clearly the better team. That's why I predicted a 27-0 win.
