New York Jets Flight Connections 9-8-14

Good morning, Gang Green Gangsters! Here are your daily New York Jets links for this Victory Monday!!!

Here is HC Rex Ryan's postgame speech after the season opening win. LT D'Brickashaw Ferguson is getting better at leading that "home of the Jets" chant.

Dennis Waszak Jr.: Rex wanted more from his Jets.

Bob Glauber: Rex focuses on mistakes after the win.

Brian Costello: Rex took out the trash talk.

USA Today: The Jets got the win but failed to hit the afterburners.

Wall Street Journal: The Jets are 1-0, but that hardly means that they are perfect.

Stu Woo: The swaggering Jets open the season making a point.

Randy Lange: What's to like and not to like in the Jets' win.

Johnette Howard: The Jets showed some promise and no polish.

Seth Walder: The Jets survived their mistakes.

Steve Politi: QB Geno Smith knows that his first-game performance is not good enough.

NY Jets: WR Eric Decker says that Geno kept his confidence.

Jane McManus: QB Michael Vick says that he is more than an option.

Dom Cosentino: RB Chris Ivory says that he knew he messed up on his early touchdown celebration. I'm glad he admitted it and didn't give some lame excuse. I also like how Rex tried to cover for him.

Bob Raissman: Ivory irked CBS announcer Phil Simms.

Steve Serby: Ivory showed that he can be the Beast of the East.  Not to be confused with this guy.

Darryl Slater: S Calvin Pryor bemoaned his dropped interception that would have been a clear pick six.

Greg Logan: DBs Antonio Allen, Darrin Walls and Pryor were not weak links at all. Nobody ever doubted Pryor. And Allen, man, what a tackling machine.

Rich Cimini: WR Saalim Hakim and OLB Quinton Coples were two unlikely Jets defensive backs.

NY Jets: LB David Harris says that their defensive line is something special.

Kimberley A. Martin: The Jets were not pushed around.

Manish Mehta: The Jets defense dominated the Oakland Raiders.

Kristian Dyer: Raiders QB Derek Carr suffered a tough debut.

SB Nation: Photos of Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown karate kicking Cleveland Browns P Spencer Lanning.

TMZ: Video of Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice delivering a vicious punch to his fiancee's face.

Here are yesterday's links, in case you missed them.

Here is the thread about nothing.

Well, like I always say, happiness is bliss. Now here is Goldfinger with "Happy":

Here is 311 with "Stealing Happy Hours":

And of course, "Happy" by the Rolling Stones:

And lastly, I saw plenty of people yesterday wearing their Jets gear. It was pretty awesome. Keep it up and keep representing. Or reppin', as the kids would say.

Happy Victory Monday, everyone!!!
