To Jets, as in "Joe almost won the race but then he pulled a Jets"
To lose suddenly and inexplicably
To have
hope and then throw it away
The Jets are an
NFL team which has gained notoriety for throwing away first round draft picks. They are capable of remarkable saves when behind at the half, but more often manage to drop the
ball, literally.
Hey the Jets are up 41-7 at the two
minute warning... no wait, now they're down by
6 points. I think my liver just quit on me.
Announcer: "They might GO ALL THE
WAY, no wait, the Jets fumble at the 2
yard line, recovered by Dallas, Dallas touchdown, and i think the Jets just lost their third string QB to another injury. This is an ugly ugly day here at the meadowlands."
person 1: The Jets might actually make the playoffs this year
person 2: Yeah, unless they pull a Jets
Person 1: Did you hear about
Dave
Person 2: Yeah, he had a heart attack last week during the Jets
game
Person 1: Yeah, is it even possible to throw 3 interceptions in two plays?
Person 1: Hey, who did the Jets select with their first round draft pick?
Person 2: A one legged kicker
Person 1: Wow, way to pull a Jets
