This blog is often about two teams. The New England Patriots and the New York Jets.
I root for the Pats. I root against the Jets. Which is more fun? Sometimes it's pretty close. Like this season.
The Jets fell to 3-6 this week and quarterback Mark Sanchez continued to be on a record pace for the worst statistics in the history of the game. The chants for Tebow continue to grow among Gang Green Nation. The media keeps asking Rex why he isn't using his secret weapon/backup QB more. Finally, a group of anonymous players decided it was important to tell the world that their backup QB/punt protector -- who averages about six plays a game -- was a terrible player and apparently a big reason the team was collapsing. The Jets completely imploded in the final weeks of the season last year and missed the playoffs. Looks like they are getting an early start on that this year.
The Jets beat Indy a few weeks ago 35-9 at home. Although it only made them 3-3 and the Jets had already lost some ugly games, Rex Ryan had this to say after beating the average Colts ... "We want to be a team no one wants to play. And, we're on our way."
We're on our way? As much as I love Skinny Rex for his entertainment value, this is why he will never have success as a head coach. You don't say "We're on our way" when your team is 3-3 and lost 34-0 the week before. Confidence is fine. Cocky is fine. But delusional is not. And Ryan often seems to be more delusional than cocky.
What have the Jets done in the three weeks since Skinny Rex said his team was on its way to being a team no one wants to play?
Lost to the Patriots in overtime 29-26 in a game they had but let slip away.
Lost to the mediocre Dolphins 30-9 at the new Meadowlands. That's a 30-9 loss at home against a division rival that you are convinced you are better than.
Lost 28-7 to Seattle in a game that wasn't even that close.
Three losses by a combined score of 87-42
Ya. No one wants to play the Jets.
