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
