Jets’ Ryan ‘disrespected’ by Pats’ late deep throw

By DENNIS WASZAK Jr., AP Sports Writer 53 minutes ago


FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP)—New York Jets coach Rex Ryan felt “disrespected” by the New England Patriots for throwing a deep pass with the game well in hand Sunday.

The Patriots were ahead 31-14 with 30 seconds left in the fourth quarter when Tom Brady(notes) threw long for Randy Moss(notes) on third-and-6 from their 45-yard line. The pass fell incomplete, but riled up Ryan.

“We need to stop them anyway, so it’s no biggie, but I was surprised, and I did feel a little bit disrespected,” Ryan said.

Ryan added that he didn’t know if Bill Belichick was behind the call, saying it might have been something Brady and Moss did on their own. The Jets coach was also asked if he thought perhaps maybe it was intended to be one final message to cornerback Darrelle Revis(notes), who has developed a rivalry with Moss.

“I looked at that as an opportunity for us,” Ryan said. “Throw it up deep, our guy is going to come down with it more than your guy is. If they want to throw it up to Revis, that’s great. If they would have thrown it up to (Wes) Welker again, I would have had a problem with it.”
Moss had five catches for 34 yards, while Welker had 15 receptions for 192 yards.

Ryan, who created controversy in the offseason when he said he didn’t come to New York to “kiss Bill Belichick’s rings,” said he called a timeout with 5 seconds left as a response to the Patriots’ play call.

Someone stated it best in the comments:

"Throwing it deep up 17 with 30 seconds to go is class? If it were baseball the next one would be high and tight. Class my ***. It'll come back to bite em'."

Get in line Rex....the Pats love to run up the score (see much of 2007)....but it sure doesn't help when you run your mouth for weeks leading up to the game.

Time for another tearjerker speech from Rex to his loser Jets.

Its really enjoyable to watch the jets lose. I really dislike rex ryan.

I don't like anyone named Ryan, but that doesn't diminish the fact that Belichek is a complete, classless *******.

i don't understand people complaining about continuing to play when the game is won. as i said the last time this argument popped up the people who have paid their hard earned cash to go to the game deserve to see 60 minutes of football, not say 45 minutes of football and fifteen minutes of going through the motions so as not to hurt the other teams feelings.

It's basic sportsmanship, taught at every level of the game.

There are also people who paid hard earned money just to watch their respective teams get smashed in the dirt. Do they deserve to see their team get absolutely humiliated...and then some?

Like it was said before, there are other sports that don't tolerate this kind of stuff. All I can say is that Belicheat will eventually reap what he sows.

The point remains though. Belicheat and Tom Shady are both classless individuals. I can't stand their smug looks as they are winning a game. I absolutely LOVE it when I see the disappointment in their eyes when, say, Belicheat goes for a dumb 4th down conversion and fails. The transformation from arrogance to defeat is a sight to behold.

ROTFlmao "Belicheat" and "Tom Shady"?! Freakin' priceless...

Only if he starts giving a crap what fans of other teams think.

I really don't have a problem with a HC saying he didn't come to the Jets to kiss Belicheat's rings.

Truth be told, when Ryan first came to the Jets that's the way the media, particularly the NY media acted like. He was just another guy that was going to bow down to BB.

Here's the biggest thing that Belicheat's apologists don't understand, the guy has zero respect for the game. He can talk a big game about respecting the game, but actions speak louder than words.

if your feelings get hurt then do something about it. if a team gets humiliated its because either they're not good enough or they threw in the towel. as far as i'm concerned neither is a reason for the other team to stop doing their job which is to score points and entertain the fans. i know i absolutely hate it when i go to celtic park and they get a couple in front and take the foot off the pedal. admitedly it has a bigger bearing in my sport due to goal differance coming into play but the basic point is the same.
basic sportsmanship in my book doesn't include playing halfhearted to give a false impression of parity.

So throwing the ball with 30 seconds to go and up by 17 is good for the sport how? At that point, I'd be willing to be that most of America would be OK with them kneeling on the ball. That's just the right thing to do, period. Nobody who paid to watch the game would be upset or anything like that. If you can't see that, then you're operating with a different compass than most people I know.
