Just End The Season Update #4

Posted on

I took off a week after the J-E-T-S beat the Raiders (I game I attended) but considering they lost to the Fins in Miami to finish with their worst road record in franchise history (0-8), I thought I would write update #4. Sunday’s game was prototypical Jets – rally, get incredibly close and then fall short at the very end. They are now 3-11. They are tied for the 3rd worst team in the league with the Packers and the Saints (though the Saints beat them so they are technically better than the Jets).

Going back to the Raiders game, when Curtis Martin didn’t come out to play, I didn’t know why. It was only after I got home that I realized he was shut down for the season. Not just that, but he may be done. As in “stick a fork in it” done. Injuries, non-guaranteed contracts and a salary cap add up to tons of job insecurity in the good old NFL. I’m hoping that Curtis is back next year starting for the Jets, especially since they let my main man LaMont go last season. In his first season in Oaktown, he’s done alright and I’m sure he’s going to be better and badder next year. A lot of people are already whispering that he’s finished playing, at least for the Jets, and that would be a sad way to end a HoF career.
