Jets Jolted by Chargers. Jets, 1-2 / Packers, 2-1

I hate Philip Rivers. Smug, little fucker. Went to college with guys like him. Oh - and I hated him last year when Favre was with the Packers so it's not just 'cause the Jets lost tonight. Seriously, I swear Rivers tortured small animals as a child (thanks, D).

Not a great showing by the Jets. Poor actually. Though the offense eventually kicked in and scored points - Favre had 3 TDs. I'll admit they (offense) didn't look in sinc in many instances, but San Diego methodically scored on the Jets' defense almost every possession. The Jets' defense clearly was the weaker link in this game. I repeat - for all you dickhead writers and fans who said Favre looked shitty last night - shitty or not...the Jets scored 29 points.

DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE A HALL OF FAME QB ON YOUR TEAM - YOU CAN'T WIN GAMES WHEN THE OTHER TEAM PUNTS ON ONLY ONE POSSESSION OUT OF 11. Got it?

And a couple odd calls by Coach Mangini didn't help matters.

I'm not making excuses for the team. But I believe this team has character - everyone from Brett to the coach to the player were laying individual blame at their own doorstep. Taking a great QB and placing him with a 4-12 team is tough business and unfortunately, too many people place all the blame on the QB - wins and loses. Favre, aside from one more INT than Rivers, had as good or a better night than Rivers at the QB position - statisically. All in all, a learning experience for New York. The punt returner for the Jets is very dangerous (3 nice returns - 2 of 90+ yards). Problem is we got behind early and had to air it out to make up the spread (thus, Brett's 2 INTs). Hey, everyone knew the (0-2) Chargers would be chomping at the bit for a win and they've been impressive in their two losses (well, for sure against Denver). As the MNF broadcasting team stated over and over and over - heard enough? - 'they're (Jets) are a work-in-progress'.

NEXT WEEK: Arizona Cardinal (2-1) @ New York Jets (1-2)

  1. Favre should have had two more INT's that would have been Touchdowns for San Diego! Tough NIght for the savvy veteran...I bet he wishes he wouldn't have signed with the Jets, waited and now he would be in New England with Belicheat!

  2. Would've, should've, could've. Had the Chargers not scored more TDs than the Jets, the Jets would've won the game.

    You talk in "what-if's". Your comments are meaningless - as are you. Stay off this blog.

    Unless, of course, you want to identify yourself...then I could call you a "man" (or woman). I'd certainlly have more respect for you as a person. Your analysis, on the other hand, suck.
