Thank you!

[@jacobwimberly4446]

Once Mike White went down, you could tell the team was demoralized for awhile.

[@legman1476]

Near the end of the 3rd and most of the 4th, I saw Josh Johnson with an urgency that no one else had. He was trying to pump the team up in the huddle. He tried to get them to the line quickly after a gain, and when that last play was tipped and intercepted he was distraught. Josh really believed they could pull that out. He tried willing that team towards a win. I liked seeing that.

[@grezhull.5647]

Josh Johnson would throw a pass in the middle of the field to a double covered griffin/WR instead of doing a chuck down to a wide open michael Carter 7-10yards out. Michael Carter was open so many times I lost count. Not just barely open, open by 10+ yards. At one point he stared at michael Carter wide open for about 3 seconds and took a sack instead of throwing it to him. He's garbage. There's a reason he's been in the league 7 years and you've never heard of him.

[@michaelguenther7105]

While I'm not a NY Jets fan I do feel sorry for them. Having said that let me be the football gods' advocate for a second. Football gods: O ye stiff-necked Jets fans! We created the opportunity for your first backup to show his mettle, and he did! To show you your problem was not the quarterback position we created an opportunity for the backup's backup to shine, and he did too! Didst the football gods give up a 78 yard touchdown run to Jonathan Taylor? Didst the football gods allow four straight touchdown drives in the first half to Indy? The offense scored 30 points, that should be enough to win. Nay, when thy defense gives up 45 points the loss is squarely thine own. The football gods are without blame.

I just had a meeting with the football gods Rich, apparently, the issue is your team's owner. They say as long as he owns the team, they're not gonna let them win. Furthermore, they're gonna hex any player who angers the football gods by playing winning football. Don't worry though, they don't like Jerry Jones either. No chance those 'boys win anything significant either.

@@llfeforce9484 First you said four, now you're saying three. Do me a favor, look up the Herschel Walker trade. That's what won the Cowboys three SuperBowls. Jerry Jones didn't have a damn thing to do with it. He's the Phil Jackson of coaches, the guy that came in and inherited a stacked roster. Cause we all know, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant and the rest would have never won 6 championships with Doug Collins at the helm. Sorry Cowboys fan, the football gods are not fans of your man from Arkansas. As long as he is GM, they ain't winning nothing. That's not my opinion, that's what the football gods told me.
