Before I get into the rankings, I want to point out that I made a few mistakes in last week’s rankings. If you didn’t notice, then I guess I have nothing to apologize for. Anyway, I’ll do better this week. On to the rankings.
In times like these, I like to take solace in the lyrics to one of my favorite 90s classics from Third Eye Blind called Jumper…with a minor tweak. My version would go, “I wish you would step back from that ledge, Jets fans…” The rest would obviously be a work in progress.
Week 16…Christmas Eve…coming off of a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Jets went into a do or die game against the New York Giants that meant a lot more than bragging rights to the city. Their loss not only propelled the Giants to the playoffs and ultimately a Super Bowl championship, but it caused a chain reaction of bad decisions that the Jets can’t seem to remedy.
