Getaway Thursday: I Threw It on the Ground
Posted on November 5th, 2009 by Bassett
I took the Jets record … and …
So it begins, the first ever getaway day here at TJB. We’re going to talk and write about other stuff today while the team is on the bye week, and while tensions are high. We hope you come along and enjoy it.

I actually forgive Rex for not replacing Schotty with Callahan because one of my cousin’s closest friends works for the Jets and claims that Rex would love to remove Schotty but Tanny will not allow him to do so…Actually, Tanny told Rex when he interviewed for the job that Rex had to give Schotty carte blanche on offense or he would not be hired!!!!!!!!! Supposedly, Mangini wanted Schotty out as well but Tanny nixed the idea..Mangini then began scripting the opening drives of every game on the offense and Schotty didn’t like it because Mangini’s game plan would actually work and then Schotty would go on to lay an egg on offense…Tanny protects Schotty because of Marty…Tanny even wanted Schotty to be the head coach over Rex Ryan but was afraid of negative reaction from the fans and bad press from the media…Tanny claimed that Schotty had this amazing interview which was gonna be Tanny’s lame excuse for hiring Schotty…
Did anyone else see the Mark Sanchez jersey hanging in the Yankee stadium hallway while Charlie Manual was being interviewed after my Yanks sent his Phillies home?
It was right behing him during the interview…. It was hilarious….please tell me I am not crazy!!
Drew.. i wish i saw that.. how awesome!
I saw the Sanchez jersey
Jetsky;
Interesting if true.
It was def there… At first you couldnt see it but it was def a #6 Jets Sanchez jersey hanging behind him. Still not sure why it was there but was almost as fired up as the Yankee victory….
It was a nice finishing touch to a great night
I saw it too, was about to post the following email I sent to a freind this morning;
Great moment last night, Charlie Manuel, choking up in his post game interview in front of the door to the losing locker room (guess they would not let the press in, the sore losing Phillies).
Whats that green thing above his left shoulder, hanging on the wall? Looks familiar. Dammit, cameraman, just move a tad, ok Charlie moves away, and there it is, a freaking Mark Sanchez Jets Jersey hanging on the wall directly outside the visitors locker room!!
Someone decided to put the ultimate curse on the Phils! They never had a chance.
Yeah I saw the Sanchez jersey, but as a Mets fan I was kind of enjoying Charlie Manuel choking up a little more. Call me bitter, because I am.
Heres the link of the Sanchez jersey hahaha

You can’t trust the system, maaaaaan!
I found that SNL clip extra hilarious, because I met a lot of those pseudo-revolutionary types in my travels through the indie Hip-Hop scene in NY.
I think the Jets will go 7-1 the rest of the way… We’ve been in every game, and it’s bound come together after the bye.
I think we will win the AFC EAST with an 11-5 record, New England will finish 10-6, Miami will finish 9-7.
It’s not uncommon for a team to get on a good run… I think the Jets are about to embark on one. Coach Ryan mentioned something telling, about the year that the Raiders made the playoffs after starting off 4-4. You see every season some team was 2-4 or 2-5 at one point of the season and turned it on… Why can’t that be the Jets.
This is the playoff picture as of today…
IND 7-0, DEN 6-1, CIN 5-2, PIT 5-2, NE 5-2, HOU 5-3, BAL 5-3, SD 4-3, NYJ 4-4 & MIA 3-4.
I predict the final standings will be:
1. AFC NORTH
PIT (13-3) w/ wins against DEN, CIN, KC, BAL, OAK, CLE, BAL and MIA, w/ a lose against GB
2. AFC SOUTH
IND (13-3) w/ wins against HOU, NE, BAL, DEN, BUF and JAX w/ loses against HOU, TEN, NYJ
3. AFC EAST
NYJ (11-5) w/ wins against JAX, NE, CAR, BUF, TB, IND and CIN w/ lose against ATL
4. AFC WEST
SD (11-5) w/ wins against DEN, KC, CLE, DAL, CIN, TEN, WAS and loses against NYG and PHI
5. WILDCARD #1
NE (10-6) w/ wins against MIA, CAR, BUF, JAX, HOU w/ loses against IND, NYJ, NO and MIA.
6. WILDCARD # 2
DEN (10-6) w/ wins against WAS, KC, OAK and KC and loses against PIT, SD, NYG, IND and PHI
Outside looking in:
BAL 9-7
MIA 9-7
HOU 7-9
CIN 8-8
Ed, I admire your optimism, and nothing is impossible, but it is almost inconceivable that they will go 7-1 the rest of the way.
Yes, there is always a team that goes on a run, but the Jets? This year? With that schedule? With a rookie HC and QB? Without Jenkins and Leon?
Jets are 1-4 their last four games, lets worry about beating JAX so we have a meaningful game v. the Pats the next week.
