Roller Coaster Season Hits Another High

Incredibly the Jets are back over .500 and a real Playoff threat after today's win in Tampa. Another dominant outing by the defense. Another good game for Thomas Jones. Another solid performance by Jay Feely. We can't go too crazy. The Bucs are one of the least talented teams in the league. They have a very raw quarterback and a coach who seems to be in over his head. Still, this is the NFL. They've beaten somebody. Bad teams beat good teams all the time. Give credit to the Jets for taking care of business and dominating even with a poor quarterbacking performance.
This year is starting to shape up as the opposite of last season. In 2008 the Jets had a slow start, a red hot middle, and a terrible finish. This year it's been a red hot start, a brutal middle, and the end has been great so far.
When they were 4-6, the Jets needed to win six games in a row to make the Playoffs. The easiest three were the first three. It gets tougher from here on out. This team still needs some help. It's not going to be easy. A month ago this team's pulse was fading. It's still beating now. Three of six down. As Bon Jovi says, we're halfway there and living on a prayer.

You know what, Clemens wasn’t good, not by any means, but he didn’t turn the ball over and he made some throws when he needed to and we won the game. No turnovers and a win, that’s all I wanted from him today and he delivered, so I’m not going to jump on the guy, congrats to the Jets and Clemens I say.
Revis should be AFC defensive player of the year, he is scary good.
Great team effort, really impressed regardless of the opposition, a NFL win is an NFL win, and that’s all that matters at the end of the day.
Let’s get back to work and prepare for the Falcons and another must win game.

Agree with David.
Clemens was bad throwing the ball, but he didn’t turn the ball over and make it harder on the defense. Tampa looked like a college team out there totally out matched. Hopefully Ryan doesn’t play next weekend. Revis is gonna shut out Roddy White.
Rec'd for good song choice

Sorry but you are mistaken. TJ is by far better than MJD. Fact.
We’ll see who makes the probowl.
Thomas Jones runs this league
Facts.
Thomas Jones Total Rush Yds:1167
Rush Yds per game: 89.8
TDs: 11
Maurice Jones-Drew Total Rush Yds: 1136
Rush Yds per game: 87.4
TDs: 14
The only reason MJD has more TDs is becasue TJ had to share with Leon Washington.

I love how u attack the amount of posts...
in order to deflect attention away from the utter spanking u took on the facts.
Facts are kinda funny that way… u can’t just dispense with them.
Your right facts are funny
However pro bowl voters will send a RB with more Td’s than a guy who slightly more total yards.

Pro Bowl voters also don’t have Revis in the top 3 CB’s in the AFL, not the smartest bunch.

Revis should be one of the CB's to represent the AFC

That I agree with.
And I will say MJD is a pretty great RB. He made Jim Leonhard miss a tackle, which I’ve rarely seen this year.
and the home of the... JETS!!!
MJD is just awesome, he is just going to get better and better

Just got back from the Game
It was like the Meadowlands South. Jets fans represented. Is the Jets D that great or are the Bucs that horrible? Maybe a combo of both. The Bucs offense looked very unprepared and unsure of what to do.
Yer a combo of both probably, but this defence is the real deal, it wouldn’t be statistically the best in the league if it wasn’t. Great effort at the game, could hear the J-E-T-S chant loud and clear.

I was sitting in the front row by the Jets tunnel
Boy did the Jets fans let Kerry Rhodes hear it on the way in. Even his INT didnt soften the fans a bit. I cant see Rhodes being brought back. He has talent, but he acts like a prima donna. He wouldve made a great WR with his selfish ways.
Glad that they let him know that his actions won’t go unnoticed. He really didn’t a play a great deal, well I didn’t notice him that much.

Its not just his play
Its his stupid comments, like saying he has to look good cause other teams are watching. What kind of message is that to send to the team and the fanbase? Maybe they shouldve kept Abe Elam, he doesnt look like he takes plays off, even with the Browns season being over long ago. I hope we get more than a 4th rounder for Kerry.
Abe was a good blitzer. I thought he would really break out in Rex’s system.

Yeah
Alot of talent ( see athleticism on int) but needs to work harder. that being said he actually hit someone a little and didnt get trucked.
Kerry got a little garbage time when we were playing two deep in the later stages, he flourishes in that role. Like John said above, Rex’s comments were very telling, and I really would be shocked if Rhodes was back next year.

Great game defense was great but i’m pretty dissapointed in Clemens. He seems like the same player he was two years ago, he was very jittery in the pocket early in the game and therefore was wildly inaccurate but then all of a sudden towards the end of the game he started standing tall in the pocket and started making good throws.
I haven’t given up on Clemens, if he can fix this (if its even possible to fix) he can be a pretty good QB but his chances might be up.
The best place for Clemens, is holding for Feely
Kellen seems like a nice dude, but I think I would rather see Brooks Bollinger under center. If you cant pick apart a Bucs team that is probably the worst team in football, you arent going to do any better against real competition. With that said, If they used todays game plan with Sanchez under center all year, we would probably be the AFC east leader.
I see what your saying but I think you’re giving way to much credit to Sanchez. We had a similar gameplan against the bills the first time out with Sanchez and it didn’t go as well. Sanchez didn’t check down as much as clemens did so it felt a little different.
Schotty has gotten out of hand with Sanchez at times
If they had just run the ball and not tried going deep so much early on, the team would have at least 1 more win. Clemens wasnt given as deep a playbook as Sanchez has had this year, and he has been in the system for 4 years. Clemens performance wasnt sexy, but I’ll take a win any day.
