There's a pulse, gentlemen. There's a pulse.


I started to write a recap but then realized everything I had to say was simply repeating what I tweeted last night. In case you weren't following, here is a CliffNotes version of BC's thoughts from last night along with links about last night's 19-13 Jets victory.

And a tip of the hat to the NFL schedule-makers for letting the Jets play last night's game in a neutral to borderline pro-Jets crowd....

1st Quarter
-Brad Smith may be the most awkward kick returner in NFL history.

-You know you're not making the playoffs when your quarterback's first read on third down is Danny Woodhead.

-Matt Millen likes saying "cock" on-air.

2nd Quarter

-Braylon's drop of a potential 84-yard touchdown was the highlight of the 2009 Cleveland Browns season.

-It's really a sickening thought that the Jets lost to the Bills at home. I'd rank the four killer losses: 1. Dolphins (home) 2. Bills 3. Dolphins (road) 4. Jaguars

-The Likely Lad quips that Braylon Edwards has been signed to play left field for the Mets next season. I disagree. He needs to pull a hamstring to pass his physical.

Halftime
-Braylon Edwards has a giant patch in his beard, You can't trust a man who doesn't know how to shave his face. TLL notes Edwards looks like Bubbles from The Wire.

-Play-by-play announcer Boba Papa is lost. "How good a player is Brad Smith?"

-That was the best half of football the Jets have played since the second half of Week Two...and they're only up 6 points.

3rd Quarter
-Wouldn't it be nice if the Jets could just blow a team out. Go for the jugular. Don't $#@! around.


-Sanchez goes down with knee injury number two. I get why Rex was pissed that his quarterback didn't slide, but that was the right play in the situation. You can't have your team's most important player being more concerned about not getting injured than winning. If it was first-and-10 that would be a different story. But on third down, ya gotta' do what ya gotta' do.

-Realization: Sanchez has the knees of Joe Namath but without the Super Bowl ring.

-Wayne Hunter at fullback! Shades of Guy McIntyre in the '84 NFC Championship Game!

4th Quarter
-NFL Network tries its best to jinx the Jets. They haven't blown a two-score lead in the fourth quarter since 1999. That will change soon, if not tonight.

-Is Darrelle's season the greatest by a defensive player in Jets history? My 15 years of fanhood does not allow me to make such a statement. As TLL notes, he is the best player at his position by a greater margin than any other player at any other position in the league.

-Jet fan in the room just said, "We need Sanchez in the game." What does that say for Kellen Clemens? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.


-P.S. How much does Revis look like James Harden with that beard? Or does James Harden look like Revis? I can't believe I bought a player's jersey who actually got better after the purchase? (Torn ACL on the menu for next week.)

Jets win. Records: Jets 6-6. Rangers 13-13. Mets 0-0. Seems about right.

-Great piece from Mike Harrington and Gene Warner of The Buffalo News about how terrible the Toronto experiment has been for Bills fans. You can't help but feel pity for them.

-Gary Myers pontificates as to why Mark Sanchez is a ruh-tard for putting the Jets' playoff hopes in jeopardy.

-Rex loves the kid, but...

-The Jets beat up the Bills, even if the scoreboard didn't show it.


-Darrelle Revis is the best, Jerry! The best!

-Thomas Jones quietly eclipsed the 1,000 yard plateau for the sixth straight season last night. A player who is actually underrated.

-Braylon Edwards tried to explain his embarrassing drop. No explanation needed. He stinks is all.

-Wayne Chrebet reflects on Hofstra pulling the plug on its football program.

-Even when Kerry Rhodes makes a play, he manages to screw it up.
