That really hurt

This is how the Jets reward us for Fan Appreciation Day. Because with what I watched for 3.5 hours, I felt they were flipping me off with both fingers.

3-3, three straight losses. The New York football Jets lose AT HOME to Buffalo 16-13 in OT, the beautiful playboy QB throws 5 interceptions, nose tackle Kris Jenkins is likely done for many weeks, if not the year, with a knee injury. I hereby declare the Jets have next to no shot to make the playoffs this year.

The defense did everything they could to win this game, at least in the fourth quarter. I can think of Lito Sheppard's interception which was called back. They knocked Trent Edwards out of the game only to be carved up by some schmuck named Ryan Fitzpatrick, who I think was bagging my groceries this morning. But the 37-yard pass to TD Lee Evans where they got caught on a blitz was terrible.

And I am sick of this offense. People call Sanchez the next Joe Namath. That makes sense for two reasons. He is good loking and throws a ton of picks. He completed 10-of-29 for 119 yards for a stellar rating of 8.3 out of 156. Dustin Keller was targeted on ten passes. He had two catches for 16 yards. He has been a tremendous disappointment. Yet, the Jets finished with 414 yards total offense, while the Bills racked up 296 yards. David Clowney is not an NFL wide receiver. Starting for the first timein his pathetic career, he did squat. So David, go find another way to take care of your handicapped brother. Because your career is hanging on life support. By the way, how do you amass 317 rushing yards and still lose? The answer is turnovers (6) and penalties (14!) Fourteen penalties! Especially James Ihedigbo throwing a punch at one of the Bills, getting him ejected from the game. Where is the discipline?

When Rian Lindell missed that long field goal at the end of regulation to send the game to OT, I was ecstatic. the Jets had played terribly the entire second half, and I was stunned that kick went wide. Then came the OT. This is how I know the black cloud follows this God-forsaken franchise. Jets get the ball first, second play is a 22 yard pass to Braylon Edwards. Next play: 33 yard run by Leon Washington, ball at the BUF 29. Right on the edge of field goal range. On the next three plays, the Jets gain seven more yards on the ground. But on that 3rd down play, tight end Ben Hartsock gets called for holding. So instead of a 39-yard game-winning field goal attempt, it's 3rd and 13 at the 32. Sanchez throws a pass that Dustin Keller can't turn around to grab.

So, it's a 49 yard field goal to win a game that should have never been close. I really didn't know if it would be good. But never in my sickest dreams did I visualize what would unfold. The snap is bad, and holder/punter Steve Weatherford can't get the ball in place for Feely to kick. He rolls out with the ball and throws a two-handed basketball pass that is picked off. But the Jets defense comes through with a 3 and out. Of course on the Buffalo punt, the Jets get called for holding, so they start from their 7. And they promptly go 3 and out.

Bills start from their own 45 and I thought it was basically over. But on the second play, Darrelle Revis picks a pass off and I am convinced they will pull it out now with 7:14 to go. What an idiot I am. It's a quick 3rd and 10 and the Sanchise gets picked off again by a linebacker at the BUF 42. Bills drive to the 30, Lindell makes this kick, game over. This team is an embarrassment. And with all their talking, they have made us, the Jets fans, look like utter buffoons.

The only good parts: Thomas Jones had some big runs. And....that's it.

And even worse, those Patriots win 59-0 over Tennessee. My suicide pool is done. The Jets are done. I thank them for sticking it up my rear end yet one more time. Two divisional losses to Miami and Buffalo. Time to watch hockey.
