Link: Denver Downer Posted on December 1st, 2008 by Bassett Silver Lining? At least writers won’t wax poetic on a New York Super Bowl (GAG!!!!) for the next month. Cimini pens a pretty good sum up of yesterday’s game in the Daily News.
After what Mangini felt was a lackluster week of practice, the Jets proved they couldn’t handle prosperity following huge wins over the Titans and Patriots. This was a sobering dose of reality for those who thought they were going to waltz into the playoffs. The only positive was that the Patriots lost to the Steelers, allowing the Jets to maintain sole possession of first place in the AFC East, a game ahead of New England and Miami.
“This was a wake-up call,” cornerback Darrelle Revis said.
Said running back Leon Washington: “It was good to get that humble pie after Thanksgiving.”
It left them with a bad case of indigestion. Asked to comment on Cutler’s performance, affable safety Kerry Rhodes snapped, “I don’t like him. I don’t want to talk about him.”
Now it’s official: The Jets’ pass defense, ranked 26th at the start of the day, is a major concern.
