I know not what the fates have in store for the
only season that matters: the postseason.

The regular season even tho it's not over, seems
like a thousand centuries ago. That first rainy MNF game,
depressing as hell. That triumphant rebound week 2 over
NE. The Sunday night party in Miami. The image of the orange
fireworks blasting off right behind me, I can still see it.

In that game I was always confident. I said toughness matters, I
said we're tougher than Miami. And when they put LeBron on the
jumbotron from his seat, I booed his soft Miami ass lustily.

I was 1/2 opening the season and the Jets were 2-1. Before I knew
it I spent Thanksgiving with the Jets victoriously and we were 9-2
ready
for NE. Or so we thought. Made my first trip to Foxboro and aside from
the score it was wonderful. I'd love to play for a 3rd time, if so I
now know
the lay of the land, and we will battle.

Once the playoff begin all bets are off. The reg season means nothing,
it's
ancient history. Toughness matters.

Yup....and being able to do things like get all 11 guys on the field for
defense and not have senseless penalties or make horrible coaching decisons
matter even more in the post season...let's hope Rex's plan to go back to
practicing works.

Yup right back at ya. As much as I support and believe in Rex and his
charges, the scattered coaching & player miscues/unforced errors must
be elimnated, beginning this week. The Jets should play to win and go
all out. I think resting starters too early can backfire. Of course
that's tempered by NE's experience losing Welker in game 16 last year.

MENTAL toughness is needed.

You forgot, "their backs are to the wall," "when the chips are down,"
and "they've got nothing to lose."

Pedicures all around.
