Boy, what great fans we have here.

As a long-time Rangers fan, I can sympathize with this perspective. But
in a glass half-full moment, I am glad that Sanchez is getting another
chance at the playoffs. The only way to learn how to win in the
playoffs is to lose in them, and Sanchez will get another opportunity to
feel that pain again this season. (And, just maybe, Ryan and staff will
learn what it takes, too.)

They need to learn about some depth on the team...quality subs....I keep
wondering how things might be if they got rid of McNothing and had Woodhead
still here to relieve some of the pressure...I would rather have seen him
spelling Shonn today for sure. Still....they NEED some D linemen who can
rush.

I don't disagree, but this is a much different NFl...they no doubt will
change the way they send teams to the playoffs, go best records and not by
division etc...but right now...the Jets did enough to be there, and a kid
like Sanchez gets a valuable opportunity to play against the best...that I
like. Still, I have very little hope for them with that defense in terms of
personnel.

if woodhead was on the jets, he'd be pulling his pud. the pats
offense can get value from him. the jets can not even get value from
green

pathetic...you can't enjoy having a team that is at the top...what you have
is a bad case of "Schadenfreude"

I know what schadenfreude is, thanks. And there is nothing pathetic
about it. It's an essential quality of competition. There has to be
a loser, or victory would be meaningless.
What's PATHETIC is Rex' habit of writing checks his team can't cash.
That's pathetic. (And I'm not going to get into his personal life.)

What exactly do you mean by that, Glenn?
(I know, you're just cracking the whip of blind homerism and fan
conformity. After all, you backed in, it's reason to celebrate.)

I laugh when some of us try to compare our jets defense to that of the
ravens or steelers. even more so when some say rex was the ravens defensive
architect. it's getting harder to believe that rex had anything to do with
the awesome ravens defenses being as good as they were.
