Game Thread W15 - NY Jets V Philadelphia (1 Viewer)

Just started watching the game and saw Dion Lewis in the game on first down. Something didn't happen to McCoy, did he?

Edit: Nevermind, he's in.

so you're saying there's a chance. yeah!
With the Giants losing today, now the Eagles win today and next week and they are guaranteed to be alive in week 17, right?(I know it's sad that it's come to this, but I need something to cling to . . .)
I believe they needs Jets to beat Giants next week, and Giants to beat Dallas in Week 17...if DAL, PHI, and NYG finish 8-8, Eagles are in.

Right, right, right, my bad. If the Giants beat the Jets, then we're out, because then one of the Giants or Dallas will be guaranteed 9 wins.
 
They just pointed out that Van Buren had his 18 touchdowns in a 10 game season. So as great as McCoy's accomplishment in tying him, he really didn't. But 18 touchdowns in 15 games is still pretty great, especially for fantasy.

 
Fellas- Can you help me understand what the Jets are doing out there? Is it lacrosse? Field hockey? Tetherball?

'Cause it sure as heck ain't football...

 
Santonio Holmes should never play another down. What a ####wad.

VanBuren's record was a wartime season but the totals are still spectacular.10 games 9 starts rushing: 143/832/15 (5.8 YPC)recv: 10/123/2punt ret: 14/154 (11.0 avg)KO ret: 13/373/1 (28.7 avg)His kickoff return was apparently a 98 yarder.http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/V/VanBSt00.htm

Still, with two games left and that final spot in the playoffs still theirs to steal, we’re about to find out what kind of leaders the Jets have in their locker room. And this was the example set by Capt. Holmes:

First he fumbled on the first Jets’ possession, a ball that was picked up by Eagles defensive end Juqua Parker and returned for a touchdown. Then he let a pass deflect off his hands three minutes later, leading to an interception that four minutes later cost the Jets another seven points.

Holmes, in just one quarter, almost single-handedly dug the Jets a 14-0 hole. So how did he react in the second quarter when he caught a touchdown pass to cut the Eagles’ lead to a mere 18 points?

He stood in the back of the end zone, put his cleat on the football, and waved his arms like an eagle. The yellow flag was out of the referee’s pocket before he was even done flapping.

It’s against the rules to use the football as a prop in celebrations. When asked after the game if he knew this, Holmes made a show of leaning forward to speak directly into the microphone.

“I’m a veteran,” said Holmes, who was wearing a black T-shirt with a sequined Superman logo. “I’ve been in the league for six years. Yes, I did know.”

Well, that’s reassuring.

Just a month ago, remember, Bills receiver Stevie Johnson was hit with a game-changing penalty when he mocked Holmes’ teammate Plaxico Burress by shooting himself in the leg after a touchdown. That burst of stupidity helped spark the Jets on their three-game winning streak.

Did Holmes, who criticized Johnson for that bonehead move, consider just handing the ball to the referee to avoid the inevitable 15-yard penalty on the ensuing kickoff?

“Nope,” he said. “Not at all.”
