With their 37-0 drubbing of the Bengals Sunday night, the New York Jets clinched the fifth-seed in the AFC and a shot at beating the Bengals again next week in Cincinnati. Gang Green Nation doesn’t want to hear excuses about the Jets and how they made the playoffs, just recognize that they did it.
Gang Green Nation: Jets Beat Bengals, Looking Forward To Rematch Next Saturday
I dare anybody to call this win tainted or suggest the Jets didn’t earn it. They dominated the A-Team of a division champion. Yeah, a few guys were out injured. Cincy sent out most of its top players. Those guys got benched because they had been so badly outplayed they stood no shot. What say you, Mike Francesa? Are you ready to give the Jets even a little credit?
Let’s just put into perspective what this team has accomplished. The Jets have a rookie quarterback who has gone through major growing pains. They have a rookie head coach. They played over half the season without their best offensive player and one of their top two defensive players. They fought back after a midseason swoon and a series of crushing losses. No matter what happens from this point, this team showed great heart and that it will be a force for years to come.
A lot of heroes in this one for the Jets but GGN has a special note for CB Darelle Revis, who “shut down” Chad Ochocinco, I mean, Johnson.
Could I start with anybody other than the man who has appeared in this section more than any other player this year? Chad Ochocinco said on the NBC pregame show he would change his name back to Chad Johnson if Revis shut him down. We’ll take you at your word, Chad. 0 catches, 0 yards. I don’t want to hear you were hurt. You were running fine. From this point on, the writers on Gang Green Nation will refer to this receiver as Chad Johnson. Readers, I ask the same of you.
