41 years and counting

I willl try to be positive.

1) I believe in Rex Ryan

2) Kerry Rhodes played his best game of the season.

3) Darrelle Revis is the best CB in football.

4) Braylon Edwards did not drop a pass.

Now, let me count the ways why I want to die right now after this 10-7 embarrassment of a loss to the stinky Falcons that officially kills any hopes the Jets had to make the playoffs this year.

1. Three missed field goals that were completely makable: a block, a horrible hold, and wide right.

2. Jim Leonhard dropping an interception that would have been returned for a TD
3. Lito Sheppard dropping an interception
4. Darrelle Revis dropping an interception on the last drive
5. Alan Faneca's incomprehensible personal foul

6. The defense ignoring Tony Gonzalez on a game-deciding 4th and goal.

7. This defense had not allowed a TD in 34 possessions. Streak over. Terminated. They're a great defense unless the game is on the line with under three minutes to go. That said, they are not to blame for this loss.

8. A putrid 2-minute drive after blowing the lead where they couldn't even get the ball to their own 40 yard line.

9. Mark Sanchez with another abysmal three-interception performance
10. Brian Schottenheimer has no clue how or when to call offensive plays.
11. Jacksonville and Miami lost and the Jets would have moved past them in the playoff standings.

So another season is dead. The future may be bright. But the fact remains. I have one day in the sun in my life: June 14, 1994 and that is it! That's it! The rest has been teases and garbage. It's another lost season.
