The toughest posted loss I ever endured:
October 12, 2014
Jets +10 vs. Denver at MetLife with a scarily dominant Denver lead by Peyton Manning.
Jets are down 24-17 with 23 seconds left to go, driving deep in their own territory for the winning score. Essentially, the game is over. 3 incompletions seals it and one short pass in bounds leads to a Hail Mary or hook and ladder with 4 seconds left.
Geno Smith has other ideas. With 23 seconds on the clock, he throws a bullet right into Aqib Talib's arms and Talib falls. As the Jets close in to touch him and effectively end the game, he gets up and runs towards the end zone and scores.
Final Score 31-17, Jets fail to cover the +10.
That one was paid back to me....tonight...
If anyone here thinks for ONE SECOND I am 'counting my lucky stars' or 'clutching my rabbit's foot' or 'gripping my horseshoe', when a member of the Browns, who is so dangerous (Packers even hedged out the minute he came in) the Browns halftime line dropped off a cliff towards CLE with Baker as the second half starter, books befuddled as to what line to set...
...If anyone thinks I won't take that result every single day until Sunday with a Cheshire Cat grin, they are out of their ever-lovin' minds!
635 days.
That's how long this win has marinated for us.
A team that hasn't won in 635 days is most definitely NOT the Gambler's Fallacy...It is a team that will do anything and everything to get in the win column regardless of the names on the jersey's as they did tonight.
I hope you followed Gents! The wise ones are all posted above. This one will not come around again until you're sense of smell has eroded so badly with age, you'll be proudly sitting in the Bellagio sports book with your slacks and cardigan sweater smelling like moth balls.
