Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

It's the middle of the week and it's only week three and I'm going to say it's a must win game already.

And for those of you in the it's only one game Rome crowd, you don't need to rush up in here and tell me it's only week three.

I am well aware of what week it is. Just as I am well aware that it is a must win game for the Patriots. Yes I said it. A must win game for

the Pats in New Jersey this week. But if it'll make you feel better, Halfam. It's also a must-win game for the

jets. So what we have here is a double must-win game. Somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose, but they both

have to win. So figure that out. They're playing each other. Figure that out.

Listen, here's the argument.

The Pat's cannot afford to be looking at O and three.

I mean, full freaking stop, period.

The Hood and his crew simply cannot start owing three.

I mean, how off the rails are they already at owing to?

They cannot start owing three.

The jets, meanwhile, cannot afford to lose at home to the worst

team in the division if they've got any hope of keeping this season on the

rails without Aaron Rogers. So both teams desperately need this

game for so many different reasons and that's not even a take or a hot take or

some lava that's just a fact. I mean look at it this way

imagine the reaction in New England if the paths lose to the Coog Hunter and

drop to O and three and And then on the flip side, imagine the reaction in New York

City if the jets lose to the Pat's for the 15th consecutive time. You heard me correctly, the jets have lost 14 in a row to the

paths not one not two not five not eight not ten not twelve 14 nobody should ever lose to anybody 10, not 12, 14.
