Jets Blog Roundup: Week 12 Preview
Gang Green takes on unbeaten Titans
by: Gregory Gethard
The Jets take on Tennessee this Sunday in a game that looks tougher than The Warriors.
Here's what blogger types are saying about this weekend's matchup:
"Okay, you'd have to be sleeping under an oil rig not to have heard, but Jeff Fisher's terminally competitive squad is (again) having a pretty decent season, what with not having lost a game yet. With the grizzled Kerry Collins under center, they have won in the classic style – with a pounding two-headed rushing attack and a punishing defense. Right now, they are the best team in the AFC, and possibly, all of football."
"Jets fans, your team has won six of their last seven games and has sole possession of first place in the AFC East. Your team is the highest scoring team in the AFC, has the conference's leading rusher as well as one of the strongest run defenses. Your team is being lead by a Hall of Fame quarterback who has a firm grasp on his offense and is utilizing all of his offensive weapons.
Jets fans, it is time to stop finding reasons to be negative, whine, bitch and moan and embrace this team that is in the process of making a serious playoff run. Stop being the fan base that coming off of an impressive win against the New England Patriots on the road continues to find fault with your beloved team. Stop dwelling in the past as players like Brett Favre, Kris Jenkins and Alan Faneca had nothing to do with results from the last 15 years. It is time to support this team with everything you have Jets fans and enjoy the ride as this team goes full speed ahead.
And one more thing, a loss this weekend IS NOT the end of the world. Don't be that typical Jets fan that has been mocked for years. Be the fan that will show up fired up the following weekend as the Jets play a home game against the Broncos. There is no reason that the stadium should not be jam packed and louder than it has been all season. This team deserves at least that."
"Here we have the Jets coming into town and it is gonna be a great day for a good old southern whipping ... Probably the last time we get to watch the master Favre get beat down ... Last time he was in town with his team, he left with his tail between his hind legs ... This week will be more of the same."
"The new darlings of the NFL rest in Tennessee. Their story is a phenomenal one that the media simply loves, and they've been effectively executing on both sides of the ball. They have a rookie running back that seems ready to become an NFL star, an old quarterback whose best years were supposed to be behind them, a defensive monster in Albert Haynesworth, and a head coach that deserves a title. But are they really that good?"
"Titans: O-VER-RA-TED."
