I got it as I was tailgating. Really rubbed me the wrong way. Couldn't wait a few hours to hit send? Just had to start pushing that before the Jets even made the game.

We made fun of the Patriots 19 and 0 shirts. I know I should just hit delete and walk away. Before the Pitt game most of us were thinking about Pitt. Not worrying about travel arrangements.

Agree and disagree. For some you have to start thinking about scheduling stuff way ahead of time. A trip that costs that much money (JI trip or no JI trip), it's just so hard to pull off so last minute. Me personally I need as much prep time for it as possible. Requesting a few days off of work, shifting around some funds or liquidating some assets for the several $k (raises hand) it'll take to be at the game. I actually had a few email notices and some paperwork all done up and ready to go, all I had to do was hit send as soon as the game was over.

what is this sh*t

another Jets website decided that before the AFC title game even started to send out a mass email about traveling to the SB

it's like the Red Sox putting an AL Champion design up at Fenway when they were up 5-2 with PEdro on the mound. THE utilmate jinx.

My guess is that he had to work on booking everything literally as soon as that happened. Therefore he figured working on getting people confirmed for it beforehand was the better way to go about things. I know I had a room booked already, money ready to go...just had to do it. It's too much stuff last minute for such a saturated area of the country for those few days. I saw it last year being in SoFla for last year's game, there are just too many people competing for the same tickets and rooms...etc.

Not disagreeing with any of that. There is a ton of logistic stuff that goes into this and it has to start early. That's how it works.

What I mean is a Jets fan site sending this before the Pitt game was played is just bad form. To ask for Jets fans to call and reserve their spot early, is even worse form. I had that trip. I would have put it up after the game had the Jets won.

But what do I know. Hey I have to run, we have a 2 run lead and it is the 8th inning. I am gonna get a head start on packing up the baseball equipment.

This isn't the case though. And if that was the case, why not send it on Thursday? Sending it as people are watching Pitt pre game? That just struck me as odd.

In fairness every Jets fan I know including myself and our crew were making calls for tickets and checking flights to Dallas to go. Suspect the most dissappointed people on earth today is the Dallas area bars, restaurants and clubs who had a chance to fleece NYers and Chicagoans looking to drop cash like it's candy. Instead they'll get fat a$$ Cheeseheads and Yinzers who will clog the Texas drive thrus on foot with coupons for free fast food cheeseburgers. Also, the airline business is nuts. You cannot fly NY to Dallas without taking a connecting flight or 2.

Next year is that tropical paradise and partytown called Indianapolis. That would almost seem fitting for the Jets.
