A LOT of quotes coming up now.
Have you heard Stephen A. Smith tounge-lash the Jets and the Titans? Dude just straight up killed the Jets. Here are some Tweets from Stephen A. Smith regarding the NYJ at TEN game last night:
"it's absolutely fitting that the Jets lost the game this way. Stupid INT by Sanchez. Botched shotgun snap b/t an experienced center and QB."
"This is what happens when you ignore your offense and rely on gimmicks/winning headlines to solidify your stature in NFL. Pathetic Fiasco."
I then looked on the Jets' Facebook fan page. One Facebook fan said, "Please stop sucking." Here's a Rex Ryan quote after last night's loss:
"Obviously that's a devastating loss. Out of the playoffs and it hurts beyond belief... We have two games left... we'll give it everything we have."
-Rex Ryan
Needless to say, the Jets are a mess. Enjoy this penultimate week of the regular season, and good luck to all teams still in the hunt.
