THIS HUMBLE PIE TASTES LIKE FEET --Chad Garner, Fan Fanatic Sports

Jets deserve to talk because they embarrassed the Patriots

By Chad Garner

So what, the New York Jets like to talk a lot of trash.
Well, if they can back it up, then it really doesn't matter, right?
And the Jets backed it up -- in a big way -- to knock off the Super Bowl-favorite Patriots out of the playoffs.
And the Jets really sent a message: The Pats aren't unbeatable.
Simply put, New England couldn't do a darn thing right, while the Jets did everything right.
The Jets won all the battles, especially on defense by confusing the Pats and QB Tom Brady with multiple coverages that Jets coach Rex Ryan drew up in the sand during the week.
Ryan devised a plan to confuse, and it worked to perfection. Man coverage looks were really zone; zone looks were really man-to-man. By the time the Pats adjusted --oh, yeah, they never did -- the game was over.
Tip of the hat to Ryan, he outcoached Bill Belichick in a big way -- much bigger than Ryan's mouth and gut, too. Ryan deserves all the kudos in this game, he got his team to believe in the team and plan, while the Pats completely pooped their pants in every part of the game.
Mark Sanchez outplayed Brady --that wouldn't happen 99 out of the 100 times, either. Same for the Jets' defense that had five sacks and a pick, while the Pats defensed didn't show up and had a chance to deliver when the Pats cut the deficit to 3 points, but quickly let the Jets burst down the field and make it a 10-point lead.
New England's key threats -- Deion Branch, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Benjarvis Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead -- got taught a lesson in making big plays by the Jets' key threats like Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards, LT and Shonn Greeene.
It was a total failure, a total team collapse and gigantic choke.
The Patriots best player yesterday was hands-down punter Zoltan Mesko, who averaged 47 yards on four punts, including bombing a 55-yarder. At least he didn't crumble under the spotlight.
If you still ask me, the Pats are still the best team in the NFL, but in these one-game situations, you must play well to advances and if you don't, well, just ask the Pats that today.
It's a shame that the Pats played their worst game of the season on the biggest stage. They've got some young guys that got some great experience this year, however, so plan on the Pats returning to the playoffs next year. They've got a solid team, but must address both sides of the line in the draft this season.
It's not all gloom and doom in New England. Yes, this loss hurts, but we're very lucky to have a team like the Pats to cheer for. We could live in Buffalo and never get a sniff of the playoffs, you know.
But Rex Ryan and Jets got the last laugh this year. They can talk all they want because they backed it up. They deserved to win, too. This humble pie tastes like feet.
The long offseason has already started. And it's going to be a LONG offseason.
