His nine-year NFL career also included time with the New Orleans Saints, Washington Redskinsand Arizona Cardinals. He was a Jet for the 1992 and ’93 seasons. He spent 10 games with the Giants in 1999. A three-time All-Big Eight selection (1988-90), Blanchard finished his Oklahoma State career with 331 points. Blanchard is survived by his son, Blake, as well as Blake’s wife, Tia; his daughter, Bayli; and his son, Braeden. Mindi said the funeral will take place Friday at Church of the Servant in Oklahoma City. “Cary was a family man who loved his children and his family more than anything,” Mindi said.

RutgersJetFan Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I have a vague memory of this as a 12-year-old, but unfortunately the next 23 years of Metsjetsknickdom just kind of all blend in to each other. I remember trading for Justin McCareins though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 First, and most importantly, RIP Carey Blanchard. On the opening drive, replays clearly showed that Thurman Thomas fumbled the ball PRIOR to breaking the plain of the goal line. The first Bills TD should not have counted and instead it should have been 1st & ten for the Jets at thier own 20. We would have won with instant replay. I do remember that game, and it was a heart breaking loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember that game, and it was a heart breaking loss. That game was B-R-U-T-A-L. I recall that we just had to win ONE GAME out of the last three in the season to make the playoffs. Buffalo, Dallas, and Houston. That span was RIGHT before my school winter break and I recall talking $hit that the Jets would qualify for the playoffs and those Sucker Giants fans at school would eat tripe. Man, did I NOT want to go back to school after that winter recess with that horrible Jets choke job to end the season. WE HAD that Buffalo game.
