Around SBN: Tiger Woods, Tony Romo Grouped Together At Pebble Beach

John Butchko from Gang Green Nation had some words


Jaguars Fans on This Site: All week Jaguars fans graced us with their presence here on GGN, and I can't say enough about them. They were classy, knowledgable, and added a lot to our discussion here. In the year and change I've run this blog, I've come across some great fan bases. The Bills and Texans come to mind. The Jaguars fans we came across this week top the list. Congrats on the win. Good luck the rest of the way. Please do continue to stop by.

  Halftime Adjustments: The Jets played much more inspired football in the second half.

Other Thoughts:

  • You really can't say enough about Maurice Jones-Drew. It's been a long time since a football player impressed me like he did today. He's the total package. He's got speed and vision. He hits hits holes. He's bruising between the tackles. He's a threat as a receiver. He blocks well. He's got football intellect and is selfless like when he went down on the 1 instead of padding his stats with a touchdown so the Jets wouldn't have a chance to get the ball back. He was the difference.
  • David Garrard also gets props. He made the plays on that last drive.
  • It's funny how things even out. Two weeks ago, the Jets pretty much manhandled the Dolphins but essentially handed them the game by making silly errors. This week, the Jags really had the better of the play for most of the game, but a missed field goal, a guy tripping himself going into the end zone, and a botched exchange from the one foot line were enough to almost gift wrap the Jets a win.
  • I find this a bit easier to swallow than the Miami game. It's one thing when the opponent plays better than you like the Jaguars did. It's another to constantly shoot yourself in the foot like the Jets did two weeks ago. There was no doubt the Jaguars were the better team today.
  • It's frustrating because it's clear the Jets are on the verge of being a good team, but they just can't finish games. Kind of like Mark Sanchez. He makes plays that show the ability is there, but it just hasn't all come together yet.

I was there and thanked it

I tip my hat off before the great fans of the Jets and Gang Green Nation.

They were so classy all week. I’m glad that I’m know these guys!

Yeah, as of right now it's

1. Taylor
2. Boselli
3. MJD

Boselli isn’t #1 because his career was cut too short sadly, while this is just year 4 for MJD. We can officially move him to #1 when he had more career yards than Fred.

Don't hate on Fred

I don't

Fred Taylor is the Jaguar I grew up with and can be proud of. I just think MJD will eventually surpass it.

Thanks John.

As a Jersey guy relocated many years ago to Jax, I wish the Jets much success into the future. I think you have your coach and your quarterback, not to mention a lot of other pieces. You’ll be a force for years.

Wow!

This is truly great fan-to-fan exchange. Props to the Jets and their fans for intelligently observing a great football game that featured wild turns of events and crazy plays.

Also as to Sanchez: he takes his job seriously, really wants to be a winner, and just needs a little more experience before he eliminates costly errors.

Once again, much respect to Jet Nation for this enlightening and refreshing discourse.

The Teal and Black are comin' back!
