How do I feel? Disappointment. Frustration. Resignation.
Frustration they played only one half of football and still had a shot. If they'd played a full 60 minutes they'd have won by a lot. But they didn't.
I could nit-pick this and that. Mistakes. Reverses. Success. But I won't.
What I will say is this. Because its what I feel and I'm not bullsh*ting. Just said this to my dad, who I watched the game with:
Two years under coach Rex Ryan and 24 year old rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez, two men who have never held those positions before in their lives, and we've been to the AFC Championship game both years. Two years in a row in the final four.That's amazing.
I can only hope that during the off-season the Jets can fix their inconsistency. This game revealed it more than ever. The first half of this game was the kind of performance I dreaded the last two weeks.
It chose a terrible time to show up. (when is a good time?) I can only hope they get a handle on it.For instance, my father and I were disgusted watching the Jets blow a 21-7 lead against the Houston Texans at the Meadowlands November 21st. We were ready to walk out. They came back and won in the last second (30-27) and it was exciting. Having true grit enough to fight back and win was awesome. Losing that lead was not.
They've got months to fix it.
They're knocking at the door. One day it'll break.
Congratulations Rex, Sanchez, and the Jets on an amazing season. It was entertaining as hell, and if there was ever a true reason to keep hoping for that elusive championship, its what you've accomplished the last two years.
GO JETS.
