I sleep in a hazmat suit.....not a lot of dexterity.
Do not like seeing guys diving at QB's knees.
Is it just me, or did the white collar/colored shirt combo that Robert Kraft wears go out in 1987?
'87 sounds about right.
1987 brotha.
Way to go Jets. 10 yards at a time with under a minute.
Stupid.
Come on, Nick!
I have to admit, Geno looked like a real NFL QB tonight.
Frigging Phil Simms praising a drive that left their kicker with a 58-yard (!!!) field goal. OMG, best drive ever. Putz.

if you like mediocre NFL QBs , yeah, I can agree. he threw some nice passes but came up short when it mattered most.
It's Geno, so the bar is not exactly set sky high.
If this hasn't already been said, best thread title evah!
Why did official help Patriots avoid penalty before Jets' field goal got blocked?
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Brace yourselves for another officiating controversy involving a field goal at the end of a Jets-Patriots game, America. Because what the heck is this?
Thursday night, Jets kicker Nick Folk tried a 58-yard field goal on the game's final play. The try was obviously a longshot (duh): Folk had never made a kick attempt longer than 56 yards, and this one was blocked by Patriots defensive end Chris Jones. The Patriots won, 27-25, and the Jets got to slink back to Florham Park to figure out what to do, their season in ashes now that they're 1-6 with six straight losses.
The refs do it all the time.
I've seen the refs tap the guy on the ass and tell him to move over in several games
GB got busted for it once, I think it was frenchy Francios
yep, another non-controversy. yawn.
Think it was the Miami game in 2010 where GB was flagged when a guy lined up over the C on a punt. Cost GB 5 yards and gave Miami and cheap 1st down.
Where the tap on the ass then?!?!? Screw you Goodell.
awesome recall dude
4th quarter of a tied game, GB forced a punt ( Capers sucks) 4th & 4.
Francios didn't get his ass tapped. Penalty for lining up wrong and so Miami got the ball back and scored a TD on the way to an OT win at Lambeau
Correct and IIRC there was some fuss about the ref NOT warning Frenchy before the snap as the NFL's policy was, and apparently still is, that the refs will warn players about lining up over the C on kicking plays before throwing the flag.
I believe the side judge will also warn WRs when lined up over the line.
I've long believed that the Jets are basically the Queens of the AFC. The obvious difference is that the Jets at least won one title. Otherwise:
1. They both work hard to grab headlines off the field as much as possible.
2. They both hump the legs of nearby big brothers (Pats/Packers).
3. They both have a litany of situations in the past where they had everything in front of them and then gagged stupendously.
4. Both of their fan bases whine and whine and whine every time they lose a game, almost always about idiotic, non-controversial things.
5. They both basically suck in the grand scheme of things.
This is another non-issue. IIRC, the Jets got handed a game against the Pats last year on a pretty questionable call that went against the Pats on a FG attempt.
Just shut up. You're 1-6. You stink.
Well and add that Ryan gets a lot of kudos from players who love him. But being a players coach doesn't always equate to a good thing.
See Ray Rhodes.
Can't be a Jets/Viking comparison of fail suck until you add a certain silver bearded gunslinger.
Good point and good symmetry, since Bert got coaches fired in both places.
That tie-in basically makes these two teams Mississippi cousins.
JJSD nailed it, and Chilli's add is the icing on the cookies.

Which means they'll be getting married later this spring?
Yep. One of their kids is a preacher - he will officiate.
Who gets to take the wheels off their new stadiums?
Scotty Favre. Who else? That's only after he gets done chasing all the tail there and tells everyone who he is.
Thursday night football is stupid.
