I'll start off by first pointing out my dominance this weekend. I went 3-1 and the only loss I could thoroughly care less about Tony Homo and the Cowgirls losing this weekend. That was almost the best part of the weekend, until the Jets played of course.
It really is a great time to be a New Yorker. The Yankees were world champions for a insurmountable 27th time in November. Although the Jets haven't won anything yet, they have made it way further than even most of their fans thought they could go. Their own coach was counting them out after an embarrassing loss to the Falcons in week 15. From that point on, they have been a different team, and a team on a mission. People can sit there and say whatever they want at this point about them backing into the playoffs, or that this week was the first real game they have had in the last month. They can take it all and shove it up their asses cause I'm sick of hearing about how the other teams lost the game. No wake up, the Jets are for real.
This evening, the Jets took on the team many people considered a heavy favorite to win the Superbowl this season. The Chargers came into this game with a mighty NFL best 11 game win streak, led by their high powered offense and one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the game Philip Rivers. The Jets didn't care about any of that. They are a team on their own war path and the Chargers weren't going to get in the way today.
Shonn Greene continued on his tear, and rushed 23 times for 128 yards and a huge 53 yard TD run in the 4th quarter that all but sealed the game for the Jets. The run was the longest TD run in Jets postseason history. The Jets Defense was as solid as it has been all season. During the chargers 11 game win streak they were just embarrassing teams with their arial attack. They were limited to only 14 points, and Philip Rivers was intercepted twice including a backbreaker for the chargers, when Darrelle Revis picked him off late in the third with San Diego threatening in Jets territory.
In the end, the key to this game, was the AFC probowl kicker Nate Kaeding of the Chargers. Someone needs to be with this guy at all time for the next couple days and definitely remove all sharp objects from his house. If there was someone who needs to be placed on a suicide watch list, Kaeding would be first in line. He entered the game with 20 consecutive FG's made, and also 69 straight under 40 yards. Both of those streaks came to an end on Sunday evening. Kaeding missed three FG's including a chip shot from 36 and also a 40 and 57 yard attempt. If even 1 of those 3 went in, the game would have been tied at the end of regulation, or even ending in a Chargers Victory.
I'm not complaining. I wouldn't have had this weekend go any other way. Jets win, Cowboys lose and the Patriots are still eliminated from the playoffs.
I can bet you one thing, the Colts are kicking themselves in the ass for not playing for that perfect season. Remember way back in week 16 when they basically handed the game to the Jets and took out all the starters half way through? Yea well I can guarantee you that when they were doing that, they had to idea they would ever be having to go through those same Jets to make it to the Superbowl. And let me tell you this, it's not the same Jets team that the Colts saw in week 16. This team is on a mission and they won't be denied. Like everyone said, you should have played for that perfect season Indy, cause now your not even going to the Superbowl. J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets!!!!!
