We have been to two Jets games in 26 years.

We actually had plans to attend a third.. The last was the Jets /Raiders game in Vegas, the year Aaron Rodgers signed with the Jets, and we were looking forward to seeing him play. We canceled our plans after he tore his ACL on his first play of his first game

We also had great expectations for the first game in the new, MetLife Stadium, the Jets-Giants 2010 preseason game. Rex Ryan was coaching and the team had gone to the AFC championship the year before.

The Jets were barely in the game. Victor Cruz scored three touchdowns for the Giants, and one of them was made off a one-handed catch.The exuberance of the Giants fan in front of us, a bouncy Rosie Perez lookalike, was salt in the wound.

But, at least, the Jets made the playoffs again that year, and Rex would celebrate by getting a tattoo of his wife wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey. Determined to redeem himself against the Giants, the next year he played Sanchez too long in an essentially meaningless preseason game. The first string QB injured his shoulder and missed the entire season. Neither the Jets nor Sanchez have seen a playoff since.

Rex was still coaching in 2014, and second round draft choice, Geno Smith, showed some promise so we attended the Jets/Charges game in San Diego.

Geno was benched at half time. (The final score for that one was 31 zip Chargers). He might have found his stride with the Jets in the next season, but he was targeted by the Jets preseason curse. He and a teammate got into a locker room fight over money loaned. Punches were thrown. Geno’s jaw was broken.

Better luck, this time, Geno.

But we have a chance to see a sure fire winning this year and I am drinking the KoolAid.)
The pros predict that the AZ Cardinals will have a 19-0 season.

Glendale, here we come!
