    LOL. It's a sleepy little town, the stadium is walking distance from all the downtown hotels, no car needed.

    I met several Jets at the only decent restaurant in town, a steakhouse called St. Elmo's. On my way back from picking up my tickets from the Stubhub people I ran into Terry Bradway out front and he mentioned that the whole team was coming that night. Mark Sanchez was in a private room with his whole family and I sat next to Darrelle Revis and the entire secondary in the lower level. Woody Johnson came down and saw all the Jets fans there and made a 'thank you' speech. Was a fun night.

    I'm sorry. I just got really tired of reading it over and over and over and over and over. Now he can move on to a whole new topic to be wrong about.

    I addressed those issues. It's not one thing individually, just the blend of all three converging for the Bills contest.

    But I'm not worried anymore; you've all convinced me that I'm being ridiculous and the Jets are definitely beating Buffalo and running the table. I'm checking out hotel rooms in Indianapolis as we speak. You planning on going?

    No, really, it is stupid crap. Hypocritical, cynical, SOJF stupid crap.

    Is Rex Ryan a "Playoff God" or is he the guy who's team bungled two consecutive AFCCGs? You contradict yourself about 10 times every time you post. You're obviously not going to be happy until the Jets go 16-0 and win the SB for 10 consecutive years so why don't you do us all a favor and move your dark cloud somewhere else.

    Personally, I have a lot of confidence that we can come out strong after the bye and make a run at the division title. If you're so sure that the season is going to end in disappointment, why do you even bother going to the games?

    No, you never addressed them. You simply reiterated them and said "Check" for each one.

    Now you engage in absurd hyperbole. Surely because your checklist was a failure, we're all convinced that the Jets are an automatic SB team?

    I said I was concerned with the Bills game. I also said that your list of reasons was horseshit. It's based on nothing but perception, superstition, and faulty analogy. My reason for concern is based on actual football. Imagine that.

    I'm not pointing out how much money I spent on 15 years of Jets games because I'm anyone special. Do the math. Any STH with 4 season tickets would spend the same $90,000 in the same timespan. When you attack my fandom, sorry, I'm going to defend myself.

    There is no SOJ dogma from me. I'm bought-in. I had high hopes of a 13 win season, the #1 seed, and the first AFC Championship Game at home, ever.

    The hypocrisy here is that you are guilty of the very thing you accuse me of- ignorance.

    We crossed from "good" to "great" that afternoon in January when we disposed of the 14-2 Patriots.

    Everything firing on all cylinders. You name it. Offense, defense, special teams. Rushing, passing, coverage, pressures, coaching, clock management, was never better. Beat Manning and Brady back-to-back. Going back to the AFC Championship Game against a team we'd just beaten in a house we'd just beaten them in with the fresh pain of the prior year's defeat at Indianapolis.

    And we didn't get off the bus. I don't mind a Steeler loss in a Championship Game on the road. But we didn't even show up. Not many teams rebound from that. So far, our 4-3 hangover appears to confirm this.

    Let's see what happens in Buffalo.

    Ah, more loser Mets fan mentality.

    "I'm not pointing out how much money I spent on 15 years" ... "I've spent 90,000 dollars" ... :rolleyes:

    I don't care if you have never spent a dime on this team. If you are a reasonable person and root for the Jets I got your back. You are not reasonable.

    You literally said "I expect a blow out" last week. The line was what Jets +1? or Jets-1? Depending on when you placed your bet. You are a pessimist, true and true. Why root for a team if regardless of the circumstance you expect them to lose terribly? (RE: review your Buffalo predictions)

    So, your take is that we're still suffering through depression over a game played 9 months ago? We can't rebound from that? Is this a theory you're prepared to support historically, or is it more of your endless stream of bullshit?

    LOL. I'm even laughing at myself. I think I picked the wrong site to get stats by.

    Mr. Stupor Fan was at the game and, truthfully, it was all a blur. I was sitting there afraid to look, head buried in my hands because it just felt like this was it, this was our year. And 30 minutes later (I'm sure I'm wrong and it was 60) I wandered out of the stadium thinking "next year, we'll be the team to beat".

    Problem is, I couldn't convince myself of that again after Pittsburgh.

    I can see how that fucking horrible site might be confusing to read for someone so easily confused as Sorry.

    If your posts are any indication, you walked out of the stadium thinking "Corn dog fishnet cloud ball. Nerf gun lazyboy twenty-two whoopee cushion."

    I have the Jets at 10-6. That means I believe that they can go 6-3 from here (let's see, 4+6 is 10 and 3+3 is 6, yeah that's right) despite very little telling me that they can pull it off.

    The reason I am not overly optimistic is that in year's past it was really just the Sanchez-growing-pains offense that was the culprit. You could point the finger at the Jets and say "That's the problem" and therefore it was easier to digest and easier to solve. The D was rock solid.

    This year is different. Not just the O being 2009 vintage, but the D has regressed significantly. Tackling? Speed? Safeties? Run stoppage? Maybin leading the team in sacks? There's a lot wrong there.

    That's not SOJF. I think any objective Jets fan or NFL fan sees things about the same way.
