My biggest fear came true today. After a beautiful victory over the top notch New Orleans Saints, the Jets had their mid season bye. Time for a little mind and body refresh, and a week and a half to get ready for a team we know well, the Buffalo Bills. Oh, the papers, sports radio, blogs, and twitter were all […]

The New York Jets Defense scored today! The Jets started the game with a beautiful drive, taking the lead over the Patriots 7-0. Marching down the field again, it looked like a minimum of 3 but maybe another 7. Then, the dreaded Pick 6 going 80 yards the opposite way. In the past, that was our recipe for continued disaster
Big Win Against the Patriots! Read More »
A total team victory – offense, defense, and special teams last night on Monday Night Football defeating the Atlanta Falcons! This was a game on the “big stage” for rookie QB Geno Smith and his composure was startling. He always walks slowly onto the field with the same expression and after scoring still doesn’t call attention to himself. Totally refreshing and unusual
Oh Happy Tuesday – Nothing Like an Improbable Jets Victory! Read More »
Well….. 8 Sacks, a RB going for 150 yards and a QB throwing for over 300 yards – sounds like an easy victory, right? But not with my Jets, they drain me of all energy and bring it down to the last possession. The New York Jets needed this victory or falling to 1-2 when Miami and New England are
Jets Beat Bills With Defensive Brilliance and the Deep Ball Read More »
Today’s Jets-Buffalo game is being covered on TV as the Geno Smith vs. EJ Manuel Bowl, but I’m looking at it as Rex Ryan vs. Mike Pettine instead. EJ Manuel was taken before Geno (1st vs. 2nd round) and the Buffalo Bills have a definite advantage in their players at the skill positions, so if the Jets defense can rise

Last night I had a chance to put my football knowledge to work. I had been invited by Broward Health in Weston Florida to be one of two featured speakers dealing with Food, Fitness, and Football. Football 101 for women in a 30-40 minute time frame – so I had to pick what I felt were the toughest parts of

Biletnikoff, Rice, Largent, Swann, Fitzgerald – Wide Receivers were first known and touted for their “great hands” and route running. If a ball was thrown their way, anywhere near them, they used their hands to snatch the ball. They did not catch it with their body. Today it’s all about speed, speed, speed. Last night in the Jets-Patriot game I

It’s Time for Connie’s Pep Talk! Every Jet fan I spoke to felt starting out 2-2 after our first four games would be considered a success. This was with Sanchez at QB and counting the Patriot game as a sure loss. Things sure change fast in the NFL. Winning the first game with an improbable ending and Rookie Geno Smith

It was great to somehow win a game that we so often end up losing! Nick Folk hitting a clutch 48 yard field Goal with 2 seconds left to bring an improbable 18-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 35 seconds before that no one thought we had a chance, down by 2 on our own 20 yard line and
What a Game: The Jets UNBREAK My Heart Read More »
Unpredictable and Exciting! Opening Day in the NFL is totally unpredictable. I’d like to find the person who thought the Ravens would give up 7 TD passes and would have lost by 30 points if a player on a pick 6 of Flacco hadn’t decided to be a dummy, showboat, and drop the ball casually before he crossed the Goal
