Between this and Florio ranking the Jets at the top of his power rankings, PFT is actually kind of making my day. Weird.

Obviously, it's way too soon for the Fins to give up on Henne, but at least now we can say definitively that Sanchez is better, and by a country mile.

The Phinsider A Request of Phinsider Readers

Full (really obvious) disclosure: I'm a Jets fan.

Before you bumrush me out of here, I'd like to make a small, totally non-malicious proposal. I run a blog called the Jets Kvetch, which in addition to serving as your typical team specific news/reaction site, also seeks to praise and empower the most important element of any team: its fans. I know the Dolphins have an extremely passionate, loyal fanbase, and thus I'd like to give one of you the opportunity to write a guest post for my site this week.

The topic? What the Jets rivalry means to you, and why you hate (or what you hate most about) the "Jest." I won't set any guidelines, and you're free to swear and include pictures and/or video. If you want to photoshop a picture of Brandon Marshall violating Darrelle Revis, you're free to do so. If you want to be polite yet forceful, your call as well. It's 100% up to you. I'm sure some of my readers won't like this, but I think it'll be a fun experiment.

To submit something, just email it to me at max@jetskvetch.com. I promise I won't say anything negative, and, if you like, I can even switch comments off on your post. If I get multiple submissions, I may choose to run all of them, or just the best one.

If you guys would rather just flame me off the site, that's cool too. I figured I'd try my luck.

Thanks, see you next week!

Gang Green Nation Jets 2010 Season...Simulated!


Here's a little video I put together using a modified version of the classic 1991 NES game Tecmo Bowl to simulate the Jets 2010 season. What you are watching is the computer playing itself.

(P.S. - Yeah, I know the Jets only beat the Colts in the conf. title game because Tecmo isn't programmed to take a knee. And, yeah, Brunell, Taylor and Slauson are missing from the roster. What, wanna fight about it?)

RESULTS

Week 1- Jets 23, Ravens 20
Week 2 - Jets 24, Patriots 7
Week 3 - Dolphins 27, Jets 21
Week 4 - Bills 28, Jets 21
Week 5 - Vikings 24, Jets 13
Week 6 - Jets 49, Broncos 28
Week 7 - Jets 27, Packers 14
Week 8 - Jets 16, Lions 7
Week 9 - Jets 24, Browns 21
Week 10 - Jets 25, Texans 14
Week 11 - Jets 28, Bengals 20
Week 12 - Jets 28, Patriots 21
Week 13 - Jets 49, Dolphins 20
Week 14 - Steelers 31, Jets 20
Week 15 - Jets 45, Bears 7
Week 16 - Jets 24, Bills 2

Final regular season record, 12-4, 2nd seed in AFC

Divisional Playoffs - Jets 21, Bengals 14
AFC Champ Game - Jets 20, Colts 17 in stunning fashion
Super Bowl - Jets 28, Redskins 7

YEAH! Super Bowl champs, kind of! Obviously, this tells us almost nothing outside of the fact that whomever programmed this mod really likes our team. But it's still another nice sign. For the record, I did conduct this simulation a year ago, and it had us as a wild card with a first round playoff loss to the Colts, so...

I'm not here looking to promote my site, so much as I am hoping to get the largest number of voters possible to ensure a fair selection. I know the GGN community is both large and formidable, so please, vote away!

Gang Green Nation Jets Kvetch...Video!?

Hey guys!

For those of you who weren't aware, I operate a Jets blog over at www.jetskvetch.com. Keeping my site going these past few months has been an absolute joy, but I thought it was time to branch out a bit and try something new. Therefore, I am today proud to announce the beginning of the Jets Kvetch: Cathode Tube Edition, my super awesome video news program. It's still a work in progress, to be sure, and I recognize that my voice is somewhat, uh, lacking in terms of suitability for narration, but I think the first version turned out as well as I could have expected.

This required a TON of work to put together, so I don't know how often I'll be doing these, but let me know what you think. If there's a high degree of support, I may just have to put in some more manhours.

 

Thanks to GGN and all its readers for all the support they've lent me since February! You guys rock!
