Thank You, New York Jets

PrintWhile the New York Giants prepare to face the New England Patriots in the 2012 Super Bowl, Giants fans should take a little time to reflect -- and to thank Rex Ryan and the New York Jets for helping them get to Indianapolis.
The Giants walked into MetLife Stadium to face the brash, bragging Jets on Christmas Eve as the visiting team. They walked into a stadium decked out in green, and found that their hosts had made the classless decision to cover up the murals showcasing the four Super Bowls the Giants had reached. They walked in with a 7-7 record and with their season on life support.
They walked out of MetLife Stadium that day with a convincing 29-14 victory, having torn down the sheets covering the Super Bowl murals and having shredded the doubts that they were a good football team. They have not been stopped since, winning five consecutive games.
Giants players have often pointed to that game as the turning point. Co-owner John Mara also did so during a radio appearance this week, saying "we win that Jets game and we just seem to get on a roll at that point."

in overtime against the San Francisco 49ers during the NFC Championship Game

Giants fans should also thank the Jets for one other thing -- the presence of punter Steve Weatherford on the Giants roster. Weatherford just had the best season of his NFL career, and he turned an obvious Giants weakness from a season ago into a strength this season.
Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff took some shots at Weatherford when the Jets made the decision to let him walk, and both Weatherford and placekicker Lawrence Tynes weren't shy this week about ripping into Westhoff.
Tynes called Westhoff's criticisms of Weatherford "the worst statement of the year by any coach in this game."
For his part, Weatherford told the New York Post he hasn't spoken to Westhoff in a year and gave Giants special teams coach Tom Quinn credit for his success this season [gasp!] while taking a poke at Westhoff.
"I think a lot of it has to do with playing for Tom Quinn and being comfortable and being confident and being strong," Weatherford said. "I think playing for the Jets and playing for that positional coach was draining. I thought it was difficult. It was physically taxing.
"Quinn lets me play to my strengths. I'm an effective directional punter, and he loves that. Coach [Tom] Coughlin loves that. And they let me play to my strengths."
Come to think of it, Giants fans should probably thank the Jets for taking Plaxico Burress, too.
One again, thank you New York Jets. You have been a very helpful little brother this season.

“Quinn lets me play to my strengths. I’m an effective directional punter, and he loves that. Coach [Tom] Coughlin loves that. And they let me play to my strengths.”
something we asked from other Giants coaches the first 13 1/2 games.

“Yes JPP, we know you are a good Defensive End but I, Perry Fewell, feel as though you will best help this team playing Corner Back”
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
Not sure articles like this are really necessary
I’d prefer the rubbing it in get saved for actual rival teams, not teams from a conference the Giants play once every 5 years.

When go that far to disrespect a team, and then lose, you deserve every ounce of the mud in your eye that you get. I just feel bad for the classy Jets players who didn’t have a hand in that classless act.

I Don't Blame You
and it’s all factual — but I am a little quesay about stomping on people when they’re down . . .
FINISH!
You know what's odd though
People find ways of stomping on the Giants regardless.
When we lose, the Giants suck, blah, blah and more…
We win, we’re overrated and lucky…
So i don’t mind Ed’s seemingly vent!
Fighting Fire With Fire
is a good way to keep the blaze going. I have some experience fighting fire . . . you do it with water.

That is true...
But the arsonist that light these fires may try to put it out with a hose. Other than a raging blaze, they will try to stomp it out with no resources!
I think its pretty awesome
There should be one dedicated to the Eagles as well…all anyone wanted to talk about in August was the Jets and the Eagles, and the Giants were slighted by everyone in the process…I think articles like this are well deserved and should be read by all Jets fans

Thank you JETS!!!
Ive been Giant fan since Coughlin left Jacksonville (I live in Jax) I went to my first giants game this year against the JETS and it was the most amazing experience ever. Thanks to the jets secondary on that 99 yard cruz touchdown!! That memory will be with me always…
Now lets win the Super bowl and put our place in history!!!
Nope.
I’ve seen these stories circulating for a few weeks now.
the “magical” turnaround by the Giants. Was it Cruz’s TD that somehow sparked the team? or maybe Rex’s comments that got them going? How about Antrel Rolle talking and than talking and than talking some more?
NO. The giants turned there season around prior to the jets game for one major reason:
the Defense.
and another thing….not that i really care or anything, but Giants fans were taking issue w/ the fact that people “hate them” in the previous thread, but than in the very next post we’re burning the hell outta Rex and the Jets. I mean I don’t really get it but whatever. Thank the Giants! not the Jets. I mean, are we admitting that the Jets lost that game instead of the Giants winning it
Just because Mara said it was a turning point, doesn’t mean much more than just that: the game was a turning point.
Fire Fewell
The jets game was certainly the turning point of the season. And the Cruz touchdown was the turning point of that game… So I’m gonna go ahead and say the turning point of the season was that 99 yard touchdown by cruz!!

Thank the Giants.
Not the Jets.

truth
I don’t even have to look at the stats… there was a sudden, dramatic, and lasting change made to the defense that week. Elsewhere on the team Eli is still Eli, the running game still isn’t very good, Weatherford is still punting awesome, etc. I don’t care which game it happened in, I’m just glad it happened at all.
I don’t mind the killing the Jets thing because thats what happens when you talk tough and then get crushed. The Weatherford angle would just be wrong to ignore, after the Jets ST coach sold him down the river. Weatherford is “going to the ####ing superbowl” as he so eloquently put it, so now he gets to stab his trash talking ex coach in the ass. Normally I don’t care for this kind of thing but that guy went after Weatherford viciously and for no reason. They deserve it.
by Oppenheimer919 on Jan 25, 2012 1:04 PM EST up reply actions
yea
the change was the defense. D-E-F-E-N-E-S-E. That is all. No trash talk, just defense. Maybe the confidence of the defenders and actually know what they’re doing instead of mental calisthenics.

If there were any worries about Philips after coming back from that nasty injury they’re gone now. There aren’t many players who make as few mistakes as he does. He didn’t give up a touchdown and allowed a QB rating of just 36.1, good enough for third in the league.

I think the Dolphins with Peyton (if he's healthy)
all of a sudden they could be serious contenders. I only watched the Dolphins a few times this year but from what I saw they have a pretty solid defense.
Hard for me to see Peyton’s personality on the Jets.
by Oppenheimer919 on Jan 25, 2012 2:05 PM EST up reply actions
the Dolphins should stay away from Peyton
as great as he is, the risk is way too big and they’d be much better off either signing Matt Flynn, which will just cost money, or pony up a few picks to get RG3. Peyton’s gonna cost at least as much as RG3 with regards to picks, and doesn’t carry near the risk (tho maybe not the upside, which could be a SB in the first year.

Peyton's gong to be a free agent

+18
I agree. They’re not paying him 28M after paying him last season. They can’t trade him. In the end he’ll be a FA.

its Peyton Manning, not Mark Sanchez
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
If they had to trade for him / pick up his contract
I agree 100%. With him being due the amount he’s due at the beginning of March (I think its 25 or 28M?) and the questions still unanswered about his health, plus the fact that Andrew Luck is almost certainly going to Indy, I am sort of assuming he’ll be released.
by Oppenheimer919 on Jan 25, 2012 2:42 PM EST up reply actions
wouldn't do that.
a team will no doubt pay whatever the cost is to get him. Picks, whatever, if he’s healthy a team will have to trade for him. Its Peyton friggn Manning. If he’s healthy he’s one of the best in the game, best ever at the most important position in the game.
Someone will trade for that. He won’t be a FA, ever.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
I dont know
I listened to an interview with him and he sure didn’t sound optimistic about his neck. The talking heads seem to be suggesting he may not even be able to play next year (or ever?) Could be that he’s just frustrated and the TV people are blowing things out of proportion, but then again he did miss a whole year with nerve damage in his neck. If the middle of March is essentially the trade / release deadline thats an awful lot of risk a team would be taking on, along with the draft picks etc. that they would have to give up.
We’ll see… I guess it wouldn’t surprise me either way
by Oppenheimer919 on Jan 25, 2012 3:19 PM EST up reply actions
I'd be surprised if Peyton went to the Jets
they already invested the 5th pick on Sanchize. A trade for Peyton will cost at least a #1 and #2 draft pick.

Peyton will not go to the same town his brother is in. They both do not need that controversy.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
they cant fit him under the cap.
Plus why would he go from a nice cozy dome to our shit hole.
I may not be the most noble of men but in a town of lepers, im the one with the most fingers.
Giant LB'zz SUCK!! Mark Herzlich, Jacquian Williams,...Maybe .. Sadly this has been modified.

….for those who havent been there already, checkout a few interesting articles, comments on the colts site (stampedeblue, I think)…on Eli, Brady, Payton, Giants & Pats….legacy, repurcussions…..interesting side-take
Whoa
Rex Ryan is number 1 on the ultimate loosers list:
My Wife is a Patriot's fan...
"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST
Hahaha!!!!
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Jets deserve everything coming to them
I had no issues with the Jet organization until Ryan showed up and their fan base acted like they were the greatest thing on earth. Pleaseeeee I hope they continue their ways of trash talking, drafting horribly, and buying every free agent out there. They’ll never be on the Giants level.
It's still GIANTS Stadium
You down wit JPP---yeah you know me
well
you were doing well, just this
drafting horribly
don’t realy see that. we don’t draft as well as you guys, but then again you guys draft realy well. and for the buying every free agent, i don’t think a couple of 2 million dollar free agents means much. our most expensive fa was scott, who signed, i believe a 6/42, which is less per year then your priceist fa signing, role, got per year. i respect the giants a ton, hell, you guys are good every year, but to say we wern’t better then you the last 2 years is a lie. i wish the colts kick returner would fumble twice. i wish alex smith was the colts qb. both didn’t happen. i guess we aren’t on the giants “level” but i think we’ll make the playoffs next year.

its got nothing to do with the money with regards to the FAs
its regards to the makeup of the team. Too many FAs comprise the whole of your team. Way too many.

i've went through this before
but i’ll do it again
qb-drafted
rb-greenedrafted, LT, fa, mcknight drafted, powell, drafted
wr-holmes,trade, plax, fa, kerley, drafted, turner, drafted
OL-brick, drafted, slauson, drafted, mangold, drafted, hunter, drafted, moore, fa (i think)
DL-devito, drafted, pouha, drafted, mo wilk, drafted,
cb’s-revis, drafted, cro, trade, wilson, drafted
now, saftey’s and lb’s i agree with you. our best lb’s this year were harris (drafted) and maybin (if he counts as a fa, fine). OLB and saftey were 2 of our biggest weaknesses this year. i hope we will draft a saftey and a OLB. i don’t see many fa’s there, not to mention LT and plax are leaving

I wonder if the perception
of the Jets organization by fans of the Giants is more influenced by your ZIP code than anything else. Having lived outside of New York for quite a few years now, I can say that I don’t give them a second thought one way or the other. The braggadocio from Rex just comes off as… odd. I think Giants fans of all geographic locations rage about Philadelphia and Dallas, but disdain for the Jets may be a more localized phenomena.
perhaps true
We Giants fans outside of the tri-state area deal with a lot less Jets fan mooks than those in NYC and its surrounding environs.

Giants Fan
I agree 100% – Until Rex Ryan came to the Jets organization no matter what any team does in the NFL it was all about the Jets this & the Jets that !!! Bragging about making it to the AFC Championship 2 years in a row like it was a Superbowl – give us all a break !!! The 1st year was a gift ! As a Giants fan, I had to hear all that talk about the Jets while we were still fresh off the Greatest Superbowl Victory in NFL History by our N.Y. Giants !!! We have been wondering over the past couple of years that if our defense comes back to that beastmode form we would be dangerous once again because Eli has taken this offense to another level… There is a big difference between this Giants team compared to 07 which Tom Brady knows he will have his hands full… Go Giants ! WE ARE ALL IN !!!
well

i think you ment something, i wasn’t sure. i’m pretty sure no one cared about us much before rex came.
Bragging about making it to the AFC Championship 2 years in a row like it was a Superbowl – give us all a break !!!
it was supposed to be a lead up to what was to come. for a team that made 2 championship games in the previous 40 years, i think it was quite a accomplishment
The 1st year was a gift !
well, it was part of the schedule. every playoff team has some degree of luck. we can’t win the division with only 9 wins. we’re going to need at least 13. the eagles sucking? a little luck. the cowboys choking? ok it happens every year. what ever luck it was, we won 2 games in the playoffs. thats not luck.
As a Giants fan, I had to hear all that talk about the Jets while we were still fresh off the Greatest Superbowl Victory in NFL History by our N.Y. Giants !!!
well, the 09 of season was 2 years after the giants winning it all. i guess 2 years is fresh off. i guess we are still fresh off the AFC championship game.
There is a big difference between this Giants team compared to 07 which Tom Brady knows he will have his hands full… Go Giants
hope you guys beat them.

Rex Ryan
The Giants are a class organization and would never hire a bozo like Rex Ryan as their head coach. that is the difference.
