Look carefully at the photo. We lost because because we had to play LT, Rivers, and Drew Brees. Seems a bit unfair, but may explain his 400 yards (200 in each game?). Suspect Farve sprained his ankle throwing off the wrong foot so many times. Plus every picture I see of him, I imagine he’s thinking: ‘If I leave now, I can be home in three hours and never think about football again.’ Hard also not to think that Pennington designed a lot of the plays that whipped the Pats, and maybe he was the positive influence two years in opening up the formations? Certainly not happening now. Brad Smith? Jets are playing street ball (”everyone out for a pass…”). Without the run and without D, street ball is fun, but loses a lot of games. Maybe I am wrong, but I keep thinking also that these Jets look very sloppy and poorly coached: 12 men on the field, or 10, or unable to run it in from the 3 inch line. Plus the roster management is a joke. 4 QBs, no kickers, about 100 WRs.

Kudos to all the New York fans who pushed so hard for the Favre trade. Pennington would have had this team 3-0. Plain and simple.

You guys are a bunch of idiots, and you’ll never be happy. And you’ll never understand how to build a good football team. Ever. Congratulations on our continuing misery. It’s all your fault.

Simple logic on the onsides kick:

If you recover it, your on ur own 40…and if you get 7 pts on the drive, hardly a sure thing…u are up 21-17 mid 2nd quarter.

Not exactly a game changing play then.

If you dont recover it, you hand them your 40…a short field for the 2nd time in the game at that pt…and u risk going down 10 on the road in the 2nd qtr of a game u lead by 7 after 5 minutes.

SO…the risk….far outweighed the reward in that situation.

Its also a play u do if u are down 21-10 at that pt and need a spark, and u are a HUGE underdog in the game….aka “arent supposed to win”.

Our D was pretty wesk…losing jenkins seemed to be a bigger factor then one would think…

Oh and where was the flag on the coles pass / pick for TD…..those losers usually call any contact on recievers.

Must win next week….simple. 2-2 at the bye is fine with me as long as we look better doing it.

i hope this Jenkins injury isn’t serious, this would be devastating after them running us over, mangini will prob. keep his injury hidden………aka Jon vilma

James in TN:

You got that right; btw, did anyone see #4 hobbling off from the sideline after the game – so sad we waste such a prodigious talent in the only year we’ll have him for.

bigpat- no way the jets were getting any calls tonight after the chargers got jobbed last week.

as for the game- same old Jets: Time of possession tells the story. Absolutely no sustained offensive drives+Defense on the field for far too long = opposing offenses going wild.

All you Mangini apologists, you were right Mangini is a genius. He tricked SD into the lead so we could have a practice with a no backfield set. Thereby giving Favre a chance to play in game type conditions……..Or maybe he does @#$%ing suck and everyone who thinks he is awesome owes everyone witha brain an apology. This just in GHOLSTON waived then resigned for more money!!!! LOL!!!! Gonna be along season
