Pats win 13-0. Baltimore plays at the same time as the Jets.
One note before the game. After the pregame warmups, all the Jets ran into the lockerroom. Brett Favre met his wife Deanna, their two daughters and a few others for a group shot in the Jets endzone. Will that moment illicit happy memories? On to the game.
Miami won the toss and elected to defer. That’s right, a vote of no confidence for the Jets. And no score on the opening drive for the Jets. A series later, Brett Favre threw his 20th interception of the season.
The stadium didn’t show the Baltimore score until Jacksonville went up 7-3, and then it went on the Jumbotron to loud cheers. No score yet in the game, but the Jets just forced the Dolphins to punt. End of the first Q 0-0.
The good news first. Jets scored when Favre tossed it to Laveranues Coles on a crossing route, Coles ran it in for a 13-yard TD, but a botched snap foiled the PAT. 6-0 Jets. The bad news is the Ravens are up 10-7. No, that revised score has not flashed inside the stadium.
Miami WR Ted Ginn just caught a beautiful 27-yard pass deep in the end zone over Jets CB Dwight Lowery. The score (and successful PAT) make it 7-6 Miami with 2:18 left in the half. And the Ravens lead 17-7 over the Jags.
Even worse. Favre’s first throw from scrimmage was intercepted by Phillip Merling and returned for a TD. Favre tried to tackle and landed on his ailing shoulder, and Kellen Clemens is warming up on the side. It’s 14-6 Miami and Baltimore is up 24-7. The Jets do manage a FG before the half, 14-9 Miami.
Jets fans, don’t be alone this halftime. If you need to, call a friend, reach out to someone who cares. If you have some kind of prescription anti-anxiety medication, consider taking some.
Leon Washington opens up the 2nd half with a 10 yard scoring run and the Jets get the conversion with a pass to Cotchery. 17-14. That Washington. Still though, no Calvary coming out of Jacksonville.
Who said Chad Pennington couldn’t throw deep? He just hit Anthony Fasano in the back of the end zone for a 20-yard touchdown. And had a 44-yard pass before it that was all air. Miami is up 21-17.
Carpenter hits a 48-yard FG for Miami with 9:20 left in the fourth. 24-17 Miami. No change in the Baltimore score.
It’s a wrap. Season over, Favre (probably) over, Sutton, Franks, Baker, Nugent and Barton? Let the speculation begin…

Of course Feely misses the PAT…the only guy who could do something well last week, and could have hit that 50 yard FG, screws up today.
This team is just plain broken
Favre has thrown two INT’s directly into Dolphin hands…not tips, he hit them between the numbers.
He is retiring, the Jets were just not good…thats the truth of it. The titans and NE must have just taken their foots off the gas for the weeks that they let the Jets beat them
Just not a good team
Pretty much exactly what I expected today and I don’t say that with any sense of pride. Sutton will be the sacrificial lamb and he probably deserves it, but if they had any balls, they would get rid of Schottenheimer also. Mangini will be back again, unless Tannebaum can strike some backroom deal with Cowher, in which case they can throw Mangini under the same bus they threw Chad under. Doubtful scenario though…
The misery finally ends…let the “talk of not capitalizing” commence.
This is an 8-8 team(the buffalo game, I’m considering a loss).
The number of axes that should fall, should compare to the reign of terror,
Favre is done.
The coordinators are done.
Is Vernon Ghoulston on this team? Talk about a non-entity.
Seattle has 4 guys from their practice squad come up on their O line, and their QB never gets touched.
The jets draft Vern, and he can’t even make the practice squad.
How about Jimmy Johnson the old Dallas Coach?
There must be someone available that has some experience winning as a head coach?
On a brighter note, I am happy for Chad and doubly happy that The Patriots will be sitting at home for the playoffs also. Never thought I’d catch myself being happy for anyone wearing a Dolphins uniform, but Chad deserves it.
Here are two other positives:
1. 11-5 New England is not in the play-offs
2. The Cowboys were destroyed 44-6 by the Eagles, and is out of the play-offs
FIRE MANGINI
RETIRE FAVRE
SUTTON IS NUTTIN’
good thing we dumped that stooge Pennington, he can’t throw at all.
We needed a play-maker, someone who can lead us to the promised land.
Did the name Calvin Pace get mentioned during this game?
I saw Faneca helped push Leon Washington for a 1st down, but the rest of the time?
Mangold?
Where were the 7 pro-bowlers??
The most humorous play of the evening was when the Jets attempted to go “wildcat”, the result was no gain. Phil Simms then says on CBS “The Miami wildcat is much faster than the jets”.
It was funny to watch the Jets creativity be essentially copying the Dolphins creativity.
Eric needs to go to “outside the box” school
hahahahahahaha!
favre, hahahahahahahahaha! what a joke!
no sooner did the game end then brett started talking about an mri and whether or not he’s coming back….who cares he sucks!
he started whining about his arm before the big game so he’d have an excuse to build his will-he-retire-or-wont-he crap campaign on after he threw the big game away.
people said last season that he couldnt retire when his last throw was an interception. well now they’ll say he cant quit after his last one was an illegal forward pass. if he’s gonna wait to retire after his last throw is a completion, i expect he’ll be playing till 2025.
favre sucks and why anybody cares whether he will retire is a mystery to me.
did you have fun going further with brett then chad?
hahahahahahahahaha!
prediction for 10 am press conference:
Woody J: “We regret the result of the 9-7 season but stand completely behind Eric and all his coordinators. This is a building process and we will let Brett take time to evaluate his future….any questions?”
Boy I hope that is only a nightmare, and the reality is:
“All are fired,clearly the team regressed during the season. Brett will not be coming back to the Jets..any questions?”
They were not who we thought they were. From 8-3 to this! Who flipped the “off” switch after the Tennessee game?!
After the Seattle loss, all I could “say” to this blog was to send an empty box (actually the system wouldn’t allow me to send nothing, so I had to stick a period in the box; as I reflect on that now, it seems entirely appropriate: the Jets had just put a period to their season after that loss).
Miloslav: If you’re still reading any of this, I bow down before what I believed to be your pessimism. The Jets deserve every criticism you made after the NE game. You were not being pessimistic; you were being realistic. I (and others) were too giddy, drunk on the Jets’ seemingly impressive successes, to be realistic; we were too optimistic. Death by excess of hope. You were right. Same ol’ Jets. This one particularly stinks because some of us had hope (and we even had YOU believing for a glimmer of a brief moment). 4-12 was a lot less painful.
Yeats, writing about life’s most painful events in one of his least-known poems, lists “Love lost as soon as won” as one of life’s major pain-inducing events. That’s what happened to the jets this year. We lost them just when we were all loving them the most.
Alex-
No hard feelings. I’m considering ordering Matt Ryan Atlanta Falcons jersey. Now THERE is a team that came out of complete disarray, and with a rookie, gets to the play-offs.
I will not write “I told you so”...but lets be realistic, the coach is just in over his head. That attempted Wildcat play(Smith for -3 yards)????? that’s when someone should have thrown in the towel.
I heard a caller on a talk show claiming that he was going to turn himself in to the local police station for Child Abuse, for having raised his boy a Jets fan.
Whats worse:
Being a Detroit fan? going 0-16
Being a Tampa Bay fan? having destiny in your hands and getting beat by the RAiders
Being a Cowboy fan? losing 44-6 with destiny in your hands
Being a Bronco fan, losing your way out of the playoffs with every game giving you the opportunity to assure a play-off berth.
Being a Pats fan? going 11-5, and not making the play-offs
David,
Miloslav is not referring to your poor, suffering boy is he?!
Perhaps if a star chooses the ideal route, three wise men take over as coach and coordinators, and a new Namath is born, the curse will be lifted and your son will be able to bask in a Jets’ superbowl victory. David, my friend, I fear you and I will not live to see that day.
Happy New Year, Eternally-Suffering Jets’ Fans!
G-Men,
Why do you come on to the Jets blog? It’s like a Yankee fan going and talking smack on a Mets blog. It makes no sense. What reason do you have to hate the Jets? Go back to your own blog and let us wallow in our disgrace of a franchise.
Alex and Miloslav, i’ve appreciated reading posts from both ends of the spectrum out of both of you this year. Ha ha, I thought of myself in reference to the talk show call-in, but it wasn’t me.
I hope we don’t have to wait forever to right this ship. I still think they had plenty of talent on the roster and that is a pretty big indictment of the coaching staff. I think a guy like Bill Cowher could script a much better finish with this kind of talent and that’s who I find myself hoping for.
