I would NOT want to be that guy in the locker room after the game if the Jets lose this one. Ouch.

I told ya…Brien stinks.

You Steeler fans must feel like the apostles on Easter Sunday right now.

Well, they certainly have now.

I don’t understand why they didn’t run it and try for a little more yardage. Stopping just inside the 30 is not a gimme by any means.

Airman may resume breathing now… again.

Good God, the Jets win the toss. If they get to field goal range again and it’s fourth down, do they go for it or let Brien kick it? If Brien kicks it and he misses, does he get cut immediately, or do they let him fly back with the team?

I was about to make this exact post word for word. I would have also tried for another ten yards though if I were the coach. Have some faith in your quarterback for crying out loud.

He gets a seat in the baggage compartment.

I hope they march it down the field and set up for another 40 yarder. That way Brien can bang one wide right and hit the trifecta.

As much as I would looooooooooooove to eat my words, even if we win this, I won’t. The fact that the game is this close is inexcusable. I hate how inconsistently they play. ☹
