You Have … One … New … Voice Message
Rex Ryan called season ticketholders and through the miracle of science, here’s what he had to say to Jets fans about the game this weekend.
Hey this is Rex Ryan Head Coach of theNew York Jets. I just want to let you know how much we need you this week. You know, I’ve already admitted that the Patriots have a better head coach and they got a better Quarterback than us, but … we got to see who’s got a better team. And the other part, the reason I’m so confident is that they’ve got to face you and the got to face the rest of our fans. And my challenge to you is that we need you at your best, so let’s come get ready to go for four quarters and get after them, especially when our defense is out there we really need you and we want it to be miserable for Brady & Company and seem like there’s 13 or 14 guys out there on defense. It’s tough enough when we have 11 but when our fans are into it it’s almost impossible to do anything against us. So, that’s my challenge to you and again I admit that I’m not as good as Belichick, but at the end of the game, I want to be 1-0 against him. So, help me out if you don’t mind, so that’s my challnege. OK? Thank you. Bye.

from that zebra report article….i really don’t think rex declined that penalty from the look of the discussion as they were walking into the tunnel….can someone please figure out what happen….i think hoculi got it wrong
“- In that same game, the Texans’ defense got called for taunting at the conclusion of the first half, but the period was not extended for an untimed play. But why? We’ve had it ingrained in our heads for our entire football-watching lives that a half can’t end on a defensive penalty. Right? Well, not necessarily. Here’s the specific portion of the “Extension of a Period or Half rule that applies here (4-8-2b, page 23):
“If there is a defensive personal foul following the end of the second or fourth periods that occurs in the action immediately after the end of a down, the offensive team may choose to extend the period for an untimed down.”
The offense can decline the penalty and go straight to halftime. In this case, the official play-by-play results of the game say it was declined. I have to say, though, I can’t understand why the Jets would have done so. I wasn’t watching the game at this exact moment, but it appears the Jets had just moved the ball to the Houston 18 yard line. A 15-yard penalty, in this case, would move the ball half the distance to the goal-line. They’d get an untimed play from the nine, but they declined this? No field goal or shot at the end-zone? I’m admittedly lost. I searched for an exception through pretty much the entire rule book, to see if there was a rule saying they’d have to decline the penalty. There doesn’t appear to be one. We have this (4-8-2d, page 24):”

Ed L
It’s my understanding that the personal foul ended after the play and after the half was over. You’re correct that a half can’t end on a defensive penalty but if the half is already over, even by a second, it’s over.
Damn, I do love Ryan’s attitude.

mole57 says:
i’m not a sfunny as Bent, but here’s my offering:
“Hi, this may or may not be Eric Mangini. I may or may not be asking you to have as much or more (impossible to have less) enthusiasm as I have on game day. I’m hoping for the fans to take a look at each situation during the game and read and react to them in an appropriate manner concerning volume. Right now I have the crowd listed as questionable with a larynx. We’ll just have to see how it goes, and it will likely be a gametime decision. Remember, I’ll be doing my best to play not to lose. “

It would have been funny if Rex ended the call with “and a L’shanah tovah to all my Jewish friends who can’t make it this weekend”

Sect. 134 No More says:
Fans, this is Eric Mangini calling….. possibly. That might be too much information to divulge at this moment. We are going to play a game this weekend, but it is our policy to keep things secretive, so you must buy a box of lucky charms, get out your decoder rings and try and see if you can find us. Good luck, and if you get there, we will appreciate all you do for us by handing you a bill for $10,000 per seat just so that you have the right to sit in your own seat. Get fired up everyone! Go Browns!!!
Sincerely,
MangeniousRex… stay as long as you want, you are the best!! Go Jets!

WOW — got this robocall this morning too.
Had me laughing (in a great, fun way) the whole time. Love the self-deprecating humor.
THIS is what the JETS need. This is their IDENTITY.

Harry says:
Fans, this is Eric Mangini calling….. I have to say the fans in section 324, 452, and 164, have not distinguished themselves. We need to work on finishing our reads when cheering. Now give me 3 laps……

From Mangini:
“Okay, a little business up front — Fireman Ed from has a toe, so we’ll evaluate that on an ongoing basis.
I just wanted to address this fan situation. We have them, and like the other teams in the NFL, are working to make sure that they continue to make progress and work toward the goals we’ve established. We’ve seen some good things, so we’ll continue to make adjustments and hope that steady progress continues in the future.
That being said, we’ll gameplan accordingly and see how things go this week. Thanks.”

We need Fireman Sanchez to be there leading chants

I don’t have tickets to the game, and live too far out on Long Island to hang out at the tailgate – but you better be sure I’ll bewearing my Namath throwback jersey and you will hear me screaming all game long all the way to the swamp! Actually, maybe I should buy my wife a spa package to get her out of the house during the game! Especially when I see Belichek slinking over to midfield to shake hands with Rexie, the winning coach!

Wise Old Jet Fan says:
As someone who has continually seen fans popping open another cold one and thowing more saugage on the grill a half hour before kick off, I plead for you guys and gals to wrap up the tailgate with enough time to get through the gate, past security, to the bathroom and the beer line and to your seats in time for introductions.
You are great fans once you get into the stadium, but too many times the seats are half empty halfway through the first quarter.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Funny, I didn’t get the call…

Gain Green says:
i love the idea but………why would he actually say they have a “better coach and quarterback”? i was like wow……..you cant say that
-
Ed L. & Jack – this is a great topic. Does this mean that as long as the half ended 2 seconds ago that a player can taunt the opposing player all they want? Seems strange…
-
NYC Parking-
My understanding is yes, an in game penalty can’t be imposed for something that occured outside the actual playing time. Say for example that as they were walking off the field at halftime 30 seconds after the quarter ended a player took a swing at an opposing player. There wouldn’t be a penalty but the player might get tossed from the game and/or fined if the action was flagrant enough.
Same principle applies here. The half was over when the foul occurred even if it was only a matter of seconds.
That’s my understanding of the rule anyway.

BELI MIGHT BE A BETTER COACH BUT REX IS A BETTER SUMO WRESTLER. BELI BETTER BE WEIRY!!!
Here are the comments from Jets Open Mic a couple nights ago…
“We need our fans. We need our fans to show up. Our team is going to show up [and] we need our fans to show up. We need to be loud and make it miserable on them. We know [Tom] Brady has a lot of poise. He’s got all that kind of stuff. The pressure isn’t just on one man. You want to make it on a whole unit to where they’ve got to pick the hots, all the communication and all the protections.
“I believe in our fans, too. Our guys are going to show up and our fans are going to show up and it’s going to be on. We want to have a place where it’s just absolutely miserable to come to. That’s what I’m looking forward to. . . . Let’s see how we do. Let’s see how our fans perform. I’m looking forward to it because I’m expecting huge things out of them too just like I did this football team.
“If we all get on the same page and we make it loud, players are going to pick up from the enthusiasm of our crowd as well. Obviously, we will be juiced up from our own enthusiasm, but when our crowd is with you on top of that, it makes it tough. I’ve been in those stadiums where it seems like you’ve got 14 guys on the field on defense. The offense can’t communicate. Your crowd is so into it, it almost seems like that.”
