I love that the official actually asks the crowd to be quiet so the visiting offense can hear their play.

The Jets offense didn't live up to expectations.

No dipshit.

MARK SANCHEZ HAD BETTER STATS THAN TEBOW.

So either Sanchez is better than " second coming " or you have to admit that Tebow is no good.

i know sanders ran for 2000 yards and everything, but do you have to post games that we lost in? that was a painful game, i hope the a.j duhe pick isn’t next. i usualy watch all the stuff you put, it’s just this plus that giants-jets game where we lost are not things i would willingly watch.

Understood.

I actually like Barry Sanders though. And the Jets-Giants thing was just a self deprecating thing because of the Super Bowl.

and the HOLMES of the... JETS!!!

Sanders was incredible. Yeah that game sucked (but it was also pretty cool.)

Not just the way he played, but he seemed like a pretty humble guy off the field also.

If you wanna really get hurt,

Then watch the Jets Steelers AFC Championship game over again….God we deserved to win the Super Bowl last year.

Best running back

of all time. If he ran behind Dallas’ line instead of Emitt smith he would have gotten 3,000 yds. a season. Barry and Walter Payton are the two best i have seen in my 46 years.

Best loss ever

Barry Sanders: my favorite non-Jet ever of all time. I doubt anyone will ever take his spot either. He was a gosh darned freak of nature, nobody is supposed to be able to move like that and keep his balance like he could.

Agreed, Sanders was something else. Have great appreciation for the way he played the game. Had actually forgotten just how good he was, videos were a reminder. Thanks for posting Dave, regardless of whether it was against the Jets or not. Always great to see some of the best players of all time play the game.
