Well, its been a while since if dusted off the old keyboard and treated you all to another blog post (3 years and change by my count), and while a lot has changed, especially in the sports landscape, there are still things that hold true day in and day out. One such truth is that the Jets and Patriots will square off this weekend in what will be another close game. Even if the Pats have owned the series the past four seasons, winning seven of the last eight match ups with the last Jets victory coming in 2013, Big Green always manages to play the Evil Empire close. In fact, last season saw both games come down to the wire with the Patriots narrowly escaping the woeful Jets both times. Well, this year might be a different story as the Jets are 4-1 for the first time since 2010 (also the year of the biggest Jets win over the Pats in team history) and look to end Tommy and Bills shot at the perfect season as they head into Foxborough for a 1 PM kickoff on Sunday.
This new Jets regime has hit the ground running (literally), well exceeding any expectations through the first quarter of the season. Todd Bowles has created an AFC contender (a bit of a stretch) and he's using the tough nosed defense and ground-n-pound approach that was so successful in Arizona. Sure, Rex Ryan claimed to use that approach as well, but at the end of the day, Ryan had no idea how to coach an offense, whereas Bowles has given Chan Gailey and Fitzmagic the reins to make the plays.
A little banter, some facts and some stats about some of my favorite sports teams, the O's, Caps, Wizards, Jets, Nuggets, Avalanche, Rockies, Broncos and Florida Gators, while keeping current on the goings on throughout the sporting world. Some food for thought and definitely a few laughs, so sit back, and enjoy.
