First Half Disaster Cost Jets Super Bowl Trip

AFC Championship Game- Jets at Steelers

So much for WFAN's Craig Carton predicting a 23-0 Jet victory. 

It's not your day when the other team has a 9 minute touchdown scoring drive to open the game. The Steelers totally bullied the Jets so called great defense. I lost count of the amount of missed tackles on Steeler running backs.

It might have been the most non-competitive first half I have ever seen in a football game. The Jets had one yard rushing. The Steelers had 135. On this touchdown run by Big Ben, he looked like Moses parting the Red Sea, as he was not even touched.


It actually got worse the next time the Jets had the ball.


The second half was much better for the Jets.  Amazingly, they cut the lead to 24-19.   Unfortunately though, they wasted so much time on their scoring drives as they looked confused and unorganized.  There was no sense of urgency. Do they practice the hurry up offense?  I also want to know why they were having so many problems getting plays called.  They looked like a middle school team. 

The Steelers were able to run out the clock with a few big completions by Big Ben.  Here was the clincher. 


This is now 2 straight championship game losses.  Soon this story will become very old.  New York is about winning championships, not losing in AFC championship games.   I really hope Jet fans are angry about this loss and do not give some lame rationale on how they are happy with the season.  On Hard Knocks Rex said they would win the Super Bowl.  They failed and Jet fans should be angry.  Losing to the Steelers was not acceptable.  Do me a favor, win a Superbowl and then you can talk about how good you are.
