Jets Sweep Bills in 2008

A NYJ lifetime ago, same for the Buffalo Bills fans, except JETS & BILLS headed in opposite directions this year. That's a vast understatement. 😢😢

2008 season

It was NYJ HC Eric Mangini

 vs. Bills HC Dick Jauroun

 , NYJ QB Eric Favre 

vs. Bills QB Trent Edwards.

The Jets won on Nov. 2, 2008, 26-17 in Orchard Park, NY when the stadium was called Ralph Wilson stadium.

I attended with St. Fisher College alumni buddies, Lou Fuchs , Armando Santiago, John Butt.

6 weeks later,  Dec. 14, 2008,  I again was in attendance in NJ @ Giants Stadium as Brett Favre leads Gang Green to a 31-27 victory, and a 9-5 record.

Again, I had a fun time with some old Fisher pals; Ed Keough, & Larry Yetman.

Jets in playoffs , right ? NO WAY JOSE ! They lost the last two games to finish 9-7.  Mangini was booted, and the one year Favre reign was over, as he never again took another snap for the J-E-T-S,  JETS, JETS. The next season began the reign of HC Rex Ryan & QB Mark Sanchez. For those who don't know or cannot recall, that reign started well for the 2009 & 2010 seasons, but then quickly disingerated as Jet seasons have before and since. 

The Bills finished the season @ 7-9 for the third consecutive year. Before the 2009 season was over, Jauroun was shown the door, Edwards was replaced at QB by a Harvard Crimson grad, Ryan Fitzpatrick. That grizzly veteran is still suiting it up in the NFL , now for the Miami Dolphins.

Sansucks, uh..uh..I mean Sanchez no longer suits up as an NFL QB, neither does Edwards both counting their NFL millions,  I hope. 

Both Mangini & Rex are using their expert (???) HC experience as TV football analysts. Both failed at figuring out how to beat Patriots & Belichek, with a few exceptions. Also, they both again got the boot from NFL HC jobs, the Browns & Bills respectively. 

Dick Jauroun is probably enjoying post NFL life by golfing, fishing, or playing with the grandkids. 

A dozen years ago, seems like many,  many more. The last NYJ game I attended was the infamous butt fumble game on Thanksgiving night, 2012 at Met Life Stadium. The contest was a massacre, and the JETS again were more inept that night than the teams of the Rich Kotite era. 😯

Kristen & I loved the marvelous weather that night, until the second quarter began. UGH..😢😢

Belichek, TB12, and the rest of NE Patriots carved up the NY JETS, like the turkeys carved up in the pregame tailgate parking lot parties.

Yes, a lifetime ago, we've all aged, but like the loyal fool I am, I'm always suckered into believing wait until next year.🏈🏈 🤔🤔
