Initiation Day-Gang Green

First I'd like to apologize for not following through with "Weekend Warrior" yesterday, my friend who runs this with me is basically a "Jersey Shore" stand in and was caught up in the pumping of his fist over the week (not to mention he's a Eagles/Phillies fan), I digress.


Now onto more important issues, The New York Jets.  So do we get excited? Do we start actually believing in our team now?  Is this the year us as fans begin to trust or team to lead us to victories and not disappoint week after week? Probably not, lets not forget who we're talking about here, although this is a huge step in the right direction.  Somehow Rex Ryan's banter, Island Revis, and the mouthing off of Bart Scott gave this team confidence, enough so to walk into San Diego (a whale's vagina in German) and play a stellar game against a team who has won 11 in a row, thanks to the MVP of the Jets Nate Kaeding.

As I previously stated I'm not sure if this is the year the Jets and their fans turn the corner, but I know that coming off this season and going into a new stadium will certainly help.  I'm sure if you ask certain fans like "Fireman Eddy" he knew all along this team was special, but if you can try and tell Mike Francessa that the Jets are for real, he'll attempt to eat you in one bite (p.s. he has a great spray on tan).


I guess I'm just writing this to say how impressed I am with the Jets this post-season.  I mean honestly it's been a decade since we were last in the AFC Championship game and three years since we've been in the playoffs.  Not to mention we're doing this with a rookie head coach, a rookie quarterback, for the past 6 weeks or so a rookie running back getting half the carries, and a passing offense that the school of the blind can compete with (sorry that was shameless).  But with Rex Ryan's defense and a running game/offensive line that seemingly does what it pleases the Jets have found a formula for success.



I'm not sure if I agree with the whole "Super Bowl Itinerary" idea for getting the team excited, but they seem to respond well to being an underdog even though Rex makes them believe they're the favorite to win every game, where was that against the Bills home this year.  Even though Rex Ryan is going to be the next sponsor for "NutriSystem" he seems to be the kind of coach and kindred spirit that this team and town needs.  Not to mention he's compared to the media communist Tom Coughlin.  But Rex Ryan is trying to make believers out of this franchise like Namath did in '62, no I'm not saying we're winning the Super Bowl, but he turning this team around making them into winners, finally.
