sackdance–i agree with a lot of what you say, but don’t try and tell me d’bust is a good offensive lineman. he is clearly the worst of the starting five and below average compared to the rest of the league.

sec108…I respect your position, but the facts are the facts…Tannenbaum is not a football guy. He is a lawyer. It is good that he is interviewing all these candidates, as he is using this exercise as a learning experience. But it demonstrates the lack of a plan that you would have thought they would have had since the hatchett on Mangini came so fast. If Tannebaum has a plan, what do you think it is? Since he has no relationship with any of theses candidates, what could his plan be? Yes, it can be to interview as many people as possible and find the best guy, but I can’t say I’m too fired up that his legal experience greatly outweighs his football experience. Maybe if he was interviewing new outside counsel, I would be comfortable. But after the way the hatchetted Mangini for his decision to get Favre, I can’t say I have high expectations.

“This team looks like it cares more about filling Woody’s pockets then it does producing a long-term championship caliber team.”
Wow, exactamundo! Give this man a cigar! Couldn’t have said better myself. Woody, like other sport team owners,(i.e. Jim Dolan (Knicks) only care about the $!!!!! Period.
We will NOT see a Jet’s (or Knick’s for that matter) championship until these d**&%heads owners leave. And at this point who knows when that will happen considering they are not going to sell anytime soon. Our hope and suffering goes on…..

Most sports fans – and voters for that matter – don’t like complex explanations for failures, they want one guy to blame. Clearly, most Jet fans have picked either Favre or Mangini to hang their resentments on. Personally, I thought Favre brought a lot of good things to the team, played well at times and also played awfully and hurt the team at other times. I’d say the same about Mangini.

As for the calls for the benching of Favre, I’d rather have a coach with the ability to reach, inspire, motivate all kinds of players – even aging superstars – to play within the game plan, than someone whose best move is to take them out of the game.

I really don’t hate the guy, nor do I love him like lots of people blindly do. And just in case someone tries to bring up pennington for some reason(most favre worshipers do) I don’t love or dislike that guy either, I think they are both talented qb’s or one WAS, if I must say. But its crazy how some people try sooo hard to analyze, critque, and break down plays just to justify favre’s short comings. Lol. I wish the other jet players had that priveladge, for example kerry rhodes, lol. All I’ve heard was how much he sucked this season, maybe what if he was trying too hard to pick up the slack for everyone else on the field not named revis and was continually caught out of position?lol. Fact of the matter, jets DID suck as a team down the stretch, and replay after replay should even show favre’s first cousin would acknowledge that was a bad pass he through stuckey…..too high and off line.So some one break down the screen pass interception for me, lol. With praise comes criticism twice as hard, that’s new york for you.

Sack – I agree that the last INT should have been caught, but you are playing devil’s advocate and giving favre too much slack. It wasn’t all his fault, but did he play like crap or not?
