They say that pride cometh before the fall, and last night the cocksure New York Jets got their collective butts stomped on by the New England Patriots. That by itself is not an unusual thing, it's happened many times over the last fifteen years. But it was the margin of 43 points to 7 they lost by, and frankly they were completely outclassed and sent home with their tails between their legs. For me it is a great comeuppance, for big-noting and big-mouthing about how the Jets were going to destroy their opponents. A better team, a better coach and a better plan showed them just how wrong they were.Like many, I love it when braggarts get pummeled, and the Jets are NFLs worst. Rex Ryan is trying to instill a winning mental attitude, but in a lot of things he goes too far. It is just delicious natural justice that the team the declared itself the Superbowl favourites at the beginning of the season, have a real chance of not even making the playoffs. That would just be the ultimate in shooting oneself in the foot. Here's some advice Rex; shut-up and play, keep your comments respectful, and make sure your team comes ready to play, not to boast. Or else it will be a long and forlorn post-season for y'all! Yeehaw!
