Friday, we took a look at the biggest game in the first quarter of 2012 for the Jets here.
Today, we take a look at the biggest game for the Jets in the second quarter of the season, and we didn’t have to look very hard to make our choice.
Week 7 at the New England Patriots
There are a lot of reasons to choose this one, first and foremost, it’s the Patriots. They have been like the Jets kryptonite to many a Jets season. We have come up against them many times in big spots and come up empty during the regular season. Does 45-3 resound in anyone else’s head? It does mine. Simply for the fact that we have had trouble with these guys during the regular season on the road makes it a big game.
As much as Rex has changed, you know that there will be talk prior to this game. If not from the coach, you will hear from some of the players. It’s in their blood, they can’t just top. This one is always a big one for the rivalry, as this rivalry has almost topped Red Sox vs Yankees, in my opinion.

Alan has been a passionate Jets fan since 1985. Obviously, that means he is a glutton for punishment, as he has suffered through many Jets disappointments. He remembers Mark Gastineau's late hit in the 1986 AFC Divisional Playoff game like it was yesterday. There have been many more failures than successes, but through it all, Alan has remained true to the Gang Green. He has been blogging for the Jets on various websites for the past 5-6 years. He lives and breathes the NY Jets all year round, and is committed to bringing the Jets passion to "The Jet Press" on a daily basis.
