Scott's Tip Of The Day: Same Old Jets.
29-26. The Jets
lose in overtime. A devastating loss,
but not unexpected. What’s
unexpected is the Jets managed to keep it close. Click Here For Odds sportsbetting.ag
What’s in the NYC drinking water? Major athletes have been going down left and right this year
for substantial periods of time.
Mariano Rivera, Michael Pineda, Santonio Holmes, Darelle Revis. What do we need to do to keep you
healthy, guys? Centrum Silver?
Ensure? Maybe you guys should have
a conference call with Lance Armstrong.
He knows how to keep the injuries at bay.
But that’s neither here or there. The Jets managed to stay in the game and were in it until
the bitter end. The problem wasn’t
the (always predictably shaky) Jets play, it was the coaching. Rex Ryan dropped the ball.
As the barely memorable Herm Edwards said “You play to win
the game.” With two minutes left,
the Jets had the ball inside the Pats 20.
Instead of going for the jugular-the insurmountable touchdown-the Jets
ran 30 seconds off the clock and gave the ball back to the Pats. The Pats then kicked their own field
goal, kicked another one in OT and stopped the Jets shortly thereafter. Running the clock down is not playing
to win the game. That’s playing
Russian roulette.
Although touted as dominant the Jets defense is anything
but. You can’t trust the defense
to make the stop, just like you can’t trust a six year old with a bag full of
cookies. You put up the points and
you put the pressure on the other team. Rex Ryan’s lap band surgery was
supposed to curb his appetite, not his aggressiveness. You’ve gone soft Rex and the Jets have
followed suit.
