ONE LAST GASP

I could say we're not in the playoffs.

I could say we don't deserve to be.

We're not good enough even if we made it.

But the fascinating thing about this team is that even with ALL their close losses, with their LAUGHABLE game-play in 2009, there's STILL a chance. They STILL give you hope.

They'd need help. Certain teams have to lose and they have to win their last 2 games to make it. But it's possible.

And as a Jet fan, what can you do but keep hoping? Keep praying? Keep looking for the silver lining to our darkening Jet-cloud?

We're STILL the number one defense in the league. We're STILL number one against the pass, going up against the best passing team in the league - an undefeated one at that. STILL the number one running team.

And this is JUST the kind of game the Jets have won in the past, against all odds. We beat the Colts up 41-0 in 2002 which was a shocker. No one knows what will happen. And that's why we keep getting sucked back in.

Every fan that has abandoned them in frustration will flock back when they beat the hell out of the Colts this Sunday. Will they really do it? I don't know of course. (crystal ball's in the shop)

BUT THEY COULD. They're THAT TALENTED.

A loss Sunday and we're done. But as always with this way too dramatic team, we have one last gasp...

GO JETS. BEAT INDIANAPOLIS.
