Sorry Dan Dierdorf, the game you wanted to see yesterday between the Jets and the Patriots just didn't happen. Try as you might to blame the receivers, and the officials for his ineptitude, the fact of the matter is, the Jets defense is better than you think they are. I'm not so sorry for Rodney Harrsion, who spent the last few days of his retirement talking shit about and to the Jets (namely Kerry Rhodes) on Twitter, Radio and television about "disrepect," only to watch his beloved Patriots take the "L" on Sunday.Watching the two of them try to explain themselves and fail, and try to avoid the crow being served up with bleu cheese and celery sticks was beyond entertaining, but beyond all that-it was a great game.
The Jets didn't look so good offensively, and after an opening drive fumble, and a series of three and outs that made it seem like the Pats offense spent the entire first half on the field. Things weren't clicking right away, and the Jets had only scored a field goal when the first half ended.
Thing about it, the Pats had only scored 3 FGs, and the Jets defense so stymied them, that they went scoreless in the second half. Yep, that's right, no last minute field goal drives here, strictly Revis, Harris, Jenkins, Ellis and the rest of the Jets D shutting the Patriots down and beating them at their own game.
The Mark Sanchez we all fell in love with last week came out for the second half, and he came out to lead the Jets downfield for three more scores before it was all said and done. All in all, he went 14/22 for 163 yards and a TD. Not the best numbers ever, but definitely enough to get the job done.
I can't express how happy it made me. Yes, it was a regular season game. I know the Patriots have been on the winning end of the equation for a really long time, but watching the Jets win, and the looks on the faces in the stands, feeling the excitement, and shutting those talk shit, know nothing, Tom Brady mancrush having pundits up? Priceless.
Terita.
