Barstool Top 5 Worst Moments Of The New York Jets Season
Last night the New York Jets took a shit on national TV for like the 3rd time this season. The game was an abomination. An embarrassment. A mockery. With their unrealistic pipe dreams of a playoff appearance on the line, they came out and played their worst game of the year against a putrid 4-10 Titans team and let their season die. Whats worse – Mark Sanchez and Rex Ryan’s career’s were possibly on the line and both of them put up their worst performance of the season. Yes, I understand its hard to pinpoint one performance as the worst when there was so many to choose from. So many awful, pathetic and embarrassing moments in a downright pathetic season. Here are the 5 worst:
5. Revis Tears His ACL
This was the first time I Cunceled Da Saeson on the Jets. Week 3 against the Dolphins Revis blows out his ACL. Antonio Cromartie actually stepped up all season long after that. He’s had a tremendous season. But the moment Darrelle Revis went down was the moment the Jets were fucked. It was actually the one shitty moment of the year the Jets didn’t deserve. Sucked to watch the Jets most talented player go down for the season.
4. Santonio Holmes’ Dramatic Fumble Hands The 49ers A Touchdown In 34-0 Shutout At Home
If this doesn’t sum up Santonio Holmes and his time with the Jets, I don’t know what does. Crumpling to the ground in a giant pile of ineptitude, handing the ball to the opposition in a moment of over-dramatic “Look at me! Look at me! I’m injured!” Just zero awareness for the game or the moment focused solely on himself and what would happen to him. ‘Tone Time! The Jets looked like a high school squad out there as the 49ers showed us what it looked like when they played a real contender. 34 rip. Shutout at home.
3. The Jets Set The NFL Back 50 Years With Their Games Against Arizona, Miami and Jacksonville
One of the defining moments of this Jets season was their ability to make an absolutely mockery of the game of football. Week after week I found myself saying “That was the worst football game I’ve ever watch” and each time I wasn’t exaggerating Home against Miami in week 8, and back to back games against the only 2 teams in the league you could maybe consider worse than them, Arizona and Jacksonville, the Jets put on displays of football that set the game back 50 years. The 7-6 win over Arizona was rock bottom for the sport of football. It was a game featuring Mark Sanchez vs. Ryan Lindley. 3-0 at the half. Both teams struggled to cross midfield. Greg McElroy made his NFL debut and threw for 27 yards in the game winning drive and was immediately crowned the next Joe Montana because he looked so much better than the other 2 dickheads. Naturally the Jets would go on to make McElroy inactive the next 2 weeks because what the fuck, why not! In an ironic twist, 2 of the Jets wins this season came in these games, yet they were so unenjoyable for fans to watch, they stick out as one of the worst moments of the year.
2. Sanchez Throws 4 INTs, Fumbles Snap On Last Drive To End The Season
With virtually everything on the line – not only the season but his career – Mark Sanchez went out there and gave his worst performance of his career. Against a horrible 4-10 team, Mark Sanchez tossed 4 picks and despite being handed 55 chances to win the game, including a gift wrapped 19 yard punt leaving them on the 25 yard line to potentially score the game winning touchdown, fumbles a low snap and gives Mike Tirico an on-air orgasm. In this game, Mark’s backup Tim Tebow goes 0/1 with 0 yards and 0 touchdowns…and has a higher QB rating than Sanchez. Mark Sanchez’s coffin has more nails in it than any other failing athlete of all time, but this dump of a game should be the final one.
1. The Thanksgiving Day Massacre and The Birth of The Butt Fumble
After nearly beating the dreaded Patriots earlier in the season, the Jets put on a circus act spectacle Thanksgiving Night for the entire world to see. Probably the most watched game of the season, in the biggest brightest spotlight imaginable, in a game their owner specifically requested the NFL schedule for more exposure, the Jets got absolutely massacred 49-19 by New England, the franchise they will always want to be but never will become. The Patriots score thirty five points in 2 minutes 14 seconds thanks to a flurry of turnovers. None of which more infamous than…The Butt Fumble. A play where Mark Sanchez inexplicably rams his head up his own lineman’s asshole and fumbles the ball for a New England touchdown. Mark Sanchez’s Butt Fumble is the defining moment of Sanchez’s career and a perfect microcosm for this Jets regime – a bunch of bumbling, fumbling idiots with their heads up their asses who can’t get out of their own way. This fumble and this Thanksgiving Massacre will be how the Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez era will always be remembered. It erased any success their famous “2 straight AFC Championship games” may have bought them. Cuncel Da Rex. Cuncel Da Sanchez. Cuncel Da Jets.
Honorable Mention: Fireman Ed Quits As A Jets Fan
After the Thanksgiving Day Massacre, professional cheerleader and asshole Fireman Ed retires as Jets mascot. The most diehard delusional idiot Jets fan of all finally sees the light and abandons ship. The team looked so ugly and fans at the stadium were such assholes, this guy decided he couldn’t wear his helmet and yell J E T S anymore. Dark, dark days for Gang Green.







What happened Thanksgiving night showed the world what an absolute joke the Jets were. It was just pure awful.
Mark Sanchez is horrendous. Bad decision making, time after time after time. Sloppy play. Mark Sanchez is a shell of whatever he used to be. He was never a good QB. And not once give Tebow a start?
Rex Ryan is horrible. He completely mismanaged the QB chaos.
Blow the team up. Dump Sanchez, dump Rex Ryan, Dump the entire coaching staff… Get rid of Santonio Holmes (selfish, no heart, no brains)….
Sucks to be a Jets fan huh? Since most Jets fans are posers, they will jump on the Giants bandwagon if they make the playoffs.
September 1, 2012, 1:00 PM: The Jets kickoff the 2012 season.
Did you guys hear the Jets went to 2 AFC championship games?
is it to late to rescind my pro bowl ballot for sanchez?
The problem with the Jets was summed up in #5, the cornerback was your most talented player, not your QB or your WR or your RB but your CB. Tough to win when your best player is just a guy that chases other guys around the field.
vick to the jets?
this is the best post evah!
Tebow looked pretty sharp.
I was kind of depressed about losing to SF on Sunday. Then I watched half of the game last night and felt a lot better about the pats.
“When people ask me what it’s like to share New York with the Giants, my response is always, I am not sharing it with them — they’re sharing it with me,” Ryan says, adding, “I know it’s going to piss off every Giants fan to hear this, but here you go: We are the better team. We are the big brother.” lol!
Probably the worst offensive performance I’ve seen in awhile, and I’m a Browns fan. Braylon looked sharp though, only dropping one out of four.
I could actually watch the butt fumble for hours and laugh every time. Never gets old.
otwisted… he’d be the best player on 90% of the teams in the NFL.
this team needs a bottoms up revaluation of the entire organization. other than the fact that they share the same field with their much more successful big brother, this team and organization as constructed isn’t capable of sniffing success in the long term. a couple rules an nfl team should follow: 1) if you play for the back page, that’s all your ever going to get 2) if you hire a fat loud mouth obnoxious asshole of a head coach, you’re going to put your organization under the microscope each and every week so you’d better feel comfortable with whats going to show up 3) mexicans are for mowing lawns and trimming hedges, not playing quarterback in the NFL, particularly if they were USC qb’s in college. the most successful USC QB in the NFL ever is Carson Palmer, just ahead of Rodney Peete (just don’t ever draft USC QB’s – Leinart, Cassell, David Booty, Matt Barkley). That’s all I got
This is actually the best thing that could have happened to the Jets. If they had won out and gone 9-7, there would be enough for management to think that Sanchez and Co. were salvageable. The fact that they have been embarrassed multiple times on National television gives Woody cause for a complete overhaul. New coach, new GM, new QB. The defense is young and improving, and will be even better when Revis gets back. Get a new QB, shore up the O’line and move on.
Its just ridiculous that a team like the Patriots gets to play these fucking retards plus the dolphins and the bills 6 games out of the year
Quote of the night came from Gruden when he said “This is why you replace the quarterback” after Sanchez overthrew his TE by 20 yards for an easy interception.
Congratulations Jets fans for finally figuring out what the rest of the world has known forever…your team is a joke and you are all cunts! BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!
Your insane if you think that derp. Brady, Rodgers, Brees, Peyton, AP, Megatron, Andre Johnson, Fitzy, etc. Best in the league at his position no doubt.
next season looks bright though, right KFC?
im not even a jets fan and reading that blog literally just made me depressed. i’d rather be a neil fan then a jets fan.
p.s. kfc i honestly give you credit for the fact that you’re not dangling from a rope in your closet. mets and jets fan fuck that shit has to be brutal. dont understand how you enjoy being a fan of those teams. jump ship bro i wont judge you
btw, the sad part for Jets fans is the real problem is the owner. He’s the one that wants the headlines. His focus is always going to be on that over winning.
maybe the pats will throw rexy a bone and give him the opportunity to be our defensive coordinator or LB coach next year. closest he’ll ever come to tasting a ring, at least one that isn’t on his wife’s toes that is.
With two games left I guarantee you this list will be updated.
That should be the description of “The Butt Fumble” read aloud on NFL films for later generations to understand the shitiness that was the ’12 Jets.
every moment from the Jets season was the worst moment. even the good ones, because it just gave you false hope.
What a fuckin’ circus act! Sanchez, Tebow, Ryan, Fireman Fair Weather, the fan base, etc… Keep doing you, New Jersey. Keep doing you.
@Lumpy totally read that in the NFL films announcer’s voice and it makes it 10x funnier
Did you mean to write 5 most awesome moments. Because nothing warms my heart like the Jest failing. Go PATS!!!!
I don’t feel bad for the Jets at all, not even the slightest bit. Try being a Bills fan. I hate my life.
Blame it all on Rex Ryan… worse coach in football. And that includes whatever moron is running the Arizona Cardinals.
I wonder if your boy Fuckstick Bart Scott still things Shrex is better then BB…..
lol at the jestures!
Kneel wishes he was Sanchez on the butt fumble
