No Joy in Mudville

Oh, the agony! Base10's beloved Jets collapsed yesterday like the government infrastructure of New Orleans. Specifically, they lost 26-20 in OT against Jacksonville. Base10 should not have been bragging to his sister-in-law, a Jacksonville resident, on the vast superoirity of Jets squad moments before the game. Such hubris can only lead to ruin.

There were some good takeaways. On the whole the defense looked good. They stopped the run and were excellent in the red zone. Other aspects of the game were not so bright. Special teams miscues were very costly. But the primary concern has to be Chad Pennington's arm. He was pulled from the game in the first half with shoyulder pain but then went back in to replace Fiedler after Fiedler got hurt. His passes were not good at all. Pennington's strong point was never his arm strength but his accuracy. It looks like he might have lost that. I'm not ready to pull the plug on him after only three games, but the situation need to be watched.

Our crosstown cousins, the New York Giants lost also last night in a good game against San Diego. Eli Manning is starting to look like a fantasy keeper.
