Jets 23 – Raiders 3: BOOYAH!!!

Today I was travelling back from Virginia, and I have to say that JetBlue has earned my distinction of “best flight ever.” More to do with the Jets than the Terra Blue Potato Chips. Some thoughts for the game:

Chad Pennington had a good game, taking what the Raiders would give him, using his typical short [...]

Game Thread: Raiders at Jets 12/31/07

Win and you are in.  Can you believe it?  So flabbergasted that you can’t remember how the team got to this point?  Rich Cimini can help.
The Jets haven’t looked past this opponent, although there are scenarios to get into the playoffs with a loss, the easiest way to do it is with a win.  The [...]

Links: Mangini in the Black Hole?

Mangini could have been working for the Raiders?
McCareins, is earning praise from his coach, but not necessarily his starting spot.
David Picker from the New York Times notes how these two teams seem to meet again and again.
Dyson won’t be playing at corner this weekend and maybe the rest of the season.  This could be a [...]

Leavin’ on a Jet Plane

OK guys,
I head off to the airport this afternoon for an early morning flight. Not sure if I’ll get a chance to go back online, so I just wanted to thank those of you that took the time to recommend places to go and stuff. If you see three dudes wandering about at the game [...]

Wichusen on the Jets

Commenter Aaron found this ESPN podcast of Bob Wichusen and Marty Lyons filling in for Stephen A. talking about the Jets yesterday, definitely worth the time and the listen.

Pennington Responds to Kornheiser

“Can I say something terrible, something that’s going to sound awfully critical? My daughter throws the ball harder than him.”
Well, Pennington didn’t take it as personally as I did.  I have to say that the conversation bothered me during MNF, but with a little distance now, I can see what Kornheiser was doing, and it [...]

One To Go

So the Jets are 9-6, in control of their own destiny and one home win against a terrible Raiders team away from going to the playoffs. Did you expect to be in the playoff hunt in year one?
But wait up, the Jets haven’t gotten this far by looking past their current week’s opponent and this [...]

Coming…to your City!!!

Well guys, if you read my “Thoughts from Across the Pond” below, you’ll know that there is no “Thoughts from Across the Pond” next week. Any why? Because I’m not going to be “Across the Pond”…I’m going to the Jets game!!!
There are three of us Brits going to the game, two Jets fans [...]

Bent’s Thoughts from Across the Pond – Week 16

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you and your families had a wonderful day yesterday, despite the fact that you were probably pre-occupied all day thinking about the Jets game. I know I was!
So, could the Jets “sleigh” the Rudolphins?
* Having spent ages working out all the permutations, I had satisfied myself that the Jets [...]

Season’s Beatings!!! Jets 13 – Dolphins 10

As any Jets fan can attest, this was a tense/exhilarating Christmas day.  I confess I was looking at the clock all day and figuring out how much time was left until kickoff as the day progressed. 
Being burned in the past told you not to get your hopes up, and that the electric socks you received today might [...]
