Here Come The Warm Jets: Week 5 2009

I don't want to talk about it.

Maybe the defense read their own press all week? What a pathetic no-show of a game they had. I mean, they knew the Wildcat was coming, right?

I'll be honest, I only saw about half the game, bouncing back and forth from seeing bands to the bar. I was getting updates throughout from my brother and Greg.

For the parts I saw, the tackling was terrible, and there was too much over-pursuit on the edges that led to big plays.

Bottom line, though, is if you take the lead with around 5 minutes left and you're supposed to be a good defense, you don't give up that final TD drive. You just don't.

God damn it I hate losing to the god damned Dolphins. Any time. Especially on prime time.

The other bottom line, the real bottom line:

If they lose to the shitty Bills next week, at home, then you can without question say that this team peaked in Week 2 against the Pats, and it's all down hill from now on.

The offensive line hasn't played one good game yet. The defense needs to answer this crap week with a good one against a team that just scored 3 points against the freakin' Browns. Rex Ryan needs to bounce back.

If I felt like being rational, I could point out a few positives (Braylon Edwards looked good, Sanchez didn't turn the ball over, the fake punts) but I don't really feel like being rational. I have to think about losing to the Dolphins all week. So rational can go sit in the corner and chill for a while.

This was a blown opportunity. To put the Dolphins in a huge hole. To take a one game lead over the Patriots. To solidify this team as a force in the AFC.

Now we're left with that sickeningly familiar feeling - that this is still a team you can't trust, and that is bound to leave us frustrated and heartbroken when it's all said and done.

I told you I didn't want to talk about it.
