Favre has to take a lot of the blame for his bad decisions, but why on earth were we throwing the ball so often? We only got blown out twice this season (@ SD, v. DEN). Someone has to answer for a team with the best one-two punch in the AFC at running back abandoning the run so consistently. I’m with JD.

The ball had to be taken out of Favre's hands by handing it off or passing to T.J. or Leon but it wasn't and Mangini was fired for it and as it turns out there was no succession plan. Please no B. Schott as HC. and David Garrard were the only QBs with more attempts.

I hope he retires based on his play this year but where was the fingerpointing in the locker room after the San Francisco game? Favre had 522 pass attempts this through 16 games.

Joe Namath threw 27 interceptions in 1966 and 28 in 1967. Was he also not doing the best he could do? Would you have cut him before the SB season? (in which he still threw more INT's than TDs) I don't think the 13 million $ cap numbers is worth it, and from the way he looked by season's end, he might be totally out of gas, physically. But the media pile-on, extrapolating every small bit of leaked or anonymous information into a narrative about Favre essentially waking up every morning and conjuring up ways to sabotage the Jets is getting a little creepy. I've got some news for you, it's less Brett Favre (who will retire if he has any sense left at all) chasing potential coaches away than it is the hysterical media salivating over the next victim. “I don’t call 24 turnovers from “one player in 53″ the best they can do…Favre threw 22 INTs and lost two fumbles, so that’s 24/31 giveaways for which Favre was directly responsible.”

Besides the fact that they are afraid to give him a chance. He has a year under his belt. He soaked up everything he could from Favre. Get him a great QB coach. And see where we go from there. Look at this year's rookies. Look at what the dolphins did with Marino. It's worth a shot. What’s wrong with Ratliff? Besides the fact that they are afraid to give him a chance.

Im a younger guy (24) and really enjoy the jets and hate to see how obviously horrible this org. is run. I dont think that striking would accomplish anything unfortunately because: A) Woody would have no reason to change anything without consequence. B) The number of fans that would strike going to games would not be that great. Anyone who did give up seats, there would be someone waiting in line to take them. C) the NFL can careless how a team is run as long as the bills are paid at the end of the month. To TJB. It would be great to get a blog going about ideas to turn the Jets around as an organization. To say that this season (with so much at stake) and the last week has frustrated me is under statement. Just an idea. Nikolas

Very Good points, but what is it that we can do?
Maybe we should strike?

I would define cap hell as having to release a bunch of key guys just to get under the cap. That's unlikely to be necessary, as they can save enough money to get under the cap by releasing or not re-signing some of the more expendable members of the team. However, if he does come back, then it likely you'll see the Jets not being able to afford any big names. If he doesn't come back (or restructures, as unlikely as I personally think that is), then it would make things easier, but either way they should get by without losing many key guys (if any). junior – if Favre returns, it wouldn’t really be cap hell.
