Patriot Perfection GO J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets Jets. That's what we Patriots should be shouting at the tube this coming Sunday. "What!" you say, you want Eric Mangini to burn in the 7th level of hell, (otherwise known as Charlie Weiss' current address)? No, this Pat's fan doesn't have some sudden brain aneurism. No I haven't been licking some lead painted Chinese made children's toys. It's time to look forward. The hoodie only takes it one day at a time, but we don't have to. Currently the Jets are tied with the 2rd worst record in the NFL. It turns out that the equally inept San Francisco 49ers are tied for 3rd worst. If you recall BP (before the start of this Perfect Season), the 49ers dealt their next year's (this coming year's) first round pick, in order to move up during last years draft. In a nutshell we would like the order of these teams to be reversed, and the only way to do this is for us to root the Jets onto victory next week against the Steelers in the Meadowlands this weekend. Ok, so this might be a tall order, but there are still some games left. Ok, maybe next week isn't much better with the New Yorkers playing the Cowboys in Dallas on turkey day. Miami, Cleveland, Pats, Tennessee and KC come next. It would be a bit of a tall order to cheer for the Jets against the Pats, but Miami certainly, Cleveland and KC could be caught napping and thus put the pats in a better draft position. Since a tied record would result in the 49ers getting the pick (due to a strength of schedule tiebreaker) the Jets would have to pick it up a bit and win at least 2 more games before the end of the season. So, paint up your entire body in Jets Green, stand out in your chilly backyard and do your best imitation of an annoying New York fan. Meanwhile Gillette Stadium technicians are updating the scoreboards with 3 digits in time for our friends to give us a visit.
