Boring offseason thread. 1. Playoff win @ New England. Nuff said. 2. Playoff win @ Indianapolis. Last second thrilling victory, Jets and Rex finally beat Peyton. 3. Win vs. New England week 2. Epic first win of the season in a game we were given not too much of a chance in. Insane stadium atmosphere. Brady was rocked. 4. Win @ Cleveland. Probably a top-5 game from the NFL regular season. Back and forth, the Ryan brothers, and overall a well-played game from both teams. Insane ending with Holmes. 5. Win vs. Houston. What a friggin' finish. <50 seconds left, needing a TD to win it, and the boys get it done with no timeouts. Feeling of absolute euphoria leaving the stadium 6. Win @ Pittsburgh week 15. Tough, tough game. Pittsburgh could have won it at the end, and the '09 Jets would have blew it, but they held it together to keep Raper out of the end zone. Another game in which literally no one picked us. 7. Win @ Miami week 3. Beat the 2-0 Dolphins in primetime in a great game, up and down the field. Braylon shuts everyone up with a great game after the DUI. 8. Win @ Detroit. Pretty horrible game played by the Jets, but Sanchez came up clutch delivering two scoring drives with under 5 minutes to send the game to OT. Santonio Holmes stole the show in OT, again. 9. Win vs. Vikings. Favre returns, but a pretty ugly game for the most part. The Vikings should have been put away multiple times, but the Jets kept coming away with FG's. #4" almost pulled another miracle out of his a$$, but Dwight Lowery had other ideas. 10. Win @ Denver. Jets were screwed badly by the refs multiple times, and overall didn't play their best football, but they got it done at the end in a tough environment on a short week. 11. Win @ Buffalo week 4. "ZOMG TRAP GAME." Jets win by 3 TD's. 12. Win vs. Cincinnati on Thanksgiving. Thank you Brad Smith. Ugly f'ing game. 13. Win vs. Buffalo week 17. Pretty fun watching the Jets backups kick ass. 14. Loss @ Chicago week 16. We lost, but I enjoyed this game a lot. The offense played great, the defense did not. 15. Loss vs. Green Bay. Just a bad game, dead atmosphere at the stadium, ugly, low scoring. 16. Loss vs. Miami. Hideous game. Just dreadful, especially after the pounding they had just taken the week before. 17. Loss vs. Baltimore on opening night. Embarrassing display in the first game at the new stadium. Inept offense, less than 100 passing yards from Sanchez. Just a really poor start to the season after all the offseason hype. 18. Boston Massacre on Dec. 6. Nuff said. Only game all season I didn't watch from start to finish. Too painful.
I'd put the week 15 game vs Pitt up to #4 Pivotal point of our season, we needed a win, and got our first ever in Pitt.
That's actually pretty dead on. I might switch out the Detroit and Miami games, only because I was so convinced the Jets were going to lose the Detroit game and then they pulled it out in thrilling fashion. Also I might put the loss in Pitt. above the NE loss, but only because of the stakes. Good post.
It really was an all around exciting season. I could watch the highlights over again a few times. I've decide not to worry about what didn't happen, but appreciate what did. :jets:
