Popular Post nycdan 19,613 Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 With all the man-love for "All Gas No Brakes" it got me to thinking about the one-liners of the past that we loved/hated or simply took on a life of their own. Here are a few of the ones that jump out. "We're gonna win the game. I guarantee it" - all time best one-liner in Jets history and nobody can touch it. "Throw me the damned ball" - Ah Keyshawn...we loved your game but you were always a little insecure about Wayne. "He's like an egg back there" - I forgot who said that but it definitely became a rallying cry of the ACM on the board for years. "Let's go eat a god-damned snack" - Still the greatest line even uttered on Hard Knocks and the one that made a whole fan base fall in love with a head coach. "Can't Wait" - Bart using two words to shut down a post-game interview like a boss. "You play to win the game" - Herm being Herm. What else can I say about this. I'm sure there are more I missed. Let's have at it. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Warfish 29,065 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 1 minute ago, Integrity28 said: “Play like a Jet.” - Rex Ryan I think a unit of 11x F-16's would be very ineffective on a football field, but sure. On one side, an F-16 IS quite difficult to tackle, but they don't throw or carry the ball very well since they have no arms. I suppose on Defense an F-16 would be a mean tackler, but the constant unnecessary roughness calls for opponents sucked into the engine intake and turned to slush might become problematic after a while. All in all, I'd rather we play like humans than Jets. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
