another season, another disappointing playoff loss. this one hurts more than the others though. in 2004, we were newbies. in 2006, we were arrogant. in 2007, we were injured. in 2008, we were overmatched. in 2009...fock, bro...who knows. there's not one dominant reason for why the boys couldn't do it, and that's what hurts. it was a nasty cornucopia of stupid penalties, uncreative playcalling, miss field goals, weak tackling, and an opponent who wanted it more than we did.
it also hurts because it was mark fucking dirty sanchez. a trojan just as dirty as the rest of them. and his cocky talking-out-his-ass coach. and because i have a brash CFO who's a jets fan and whose office is located by my cube, and i know i'm in for the business when i get to work tuesday.
it hurts because aside from PR, there's no telling who's gonna still be here to keep this "window" open. LT and merriman are long shots. VJ's gonna have court troubles. sproles is a free agent again. gates, jammer, and half of everyone else who matters needs new contracts. and will an aging jamal williams even be an improvement next year?
i usually take the playoff losses well. the upside is always easy to see next year. but when we were up so high this year, seems downward is the only way to go next year. fuck!
