Bassett, I’m so glad you quote the same crappy movies that I loved growing up as a kid.

I am just loving these low expectations for the first time in a LONG time. Ever since Kotite, Parcells had us thinking big every year, Groh had us 6-1, Herm got us to the playoffs year one, then the miracle season year two, Mangini’s 10-6 had us thinking big for the next three years, Favre, etc etc… it’s like we are all FINALLY taking that step back that we haven’t been able to since pre-season 1997, and it is refreshing! (and hopefully last just as long as 1997’s mental step back when Parcells took us from 1-3 to 8-4)

Just for the record Bent …… I dont think any of our opponents we all that concerned about the deep ball from Mr Iron Man for the final 5 weeks anyway.

What are they looking at exactly? The guy played (horribly) but he played anyway.

Didnt the Pats once list the whole team on the injury list as probable?? lol

Apparently he said something like “maybe I could’ve listed him as probable, but we always knew he was going to play so there was little point”.

Of course, hiding his injury does benefit the Jets, because the other team would’ve known they didn’t need to worry about the deep ball as much (unless they suspected a double bluff).

Why aren’t the Pats under investigation for the fact that everyone knows they report non-injuries (Brady always being on the report, yet still playing for example – ignoring last year). How is that any different to the Jets not reporting an actual injury?

Of course, we all know the NFL’s actual agenda here and it’s to do with gambling (but we’re not supposed to talk about that). Shhh!!!

Anyone hear if Mr T responded to Favre injury report nonsense? I heard he was going to respond this afternoon.

Apparently the NFL is looking into the Jets “hiding” the injury

i’d bet the farm on the texans not making the playoffs. schaub is made of glass and will miss at least a few games leaving rex grossman taking the snaps. houston isnt good enough to make a playoff run with rex playing a few games.

TJB Fan, my discussion was not a prediction, but rather evaluating odds of the Jets making the postseason in 2009.

Yes, I have noticed that 50% of playoff teams have failed to make the playoffs the following year the last two seasons, usually due to unforseen injuries which are impossible to predict at this time. In prior years that the percentage was lower, around 30% turnover.

While I do believe that 50% could be the turnover number overall, I think the turnover is more likely to occur in the NFC since the AFC is top heavy in talent.

In the AFC, barring ridiculous injuries as that is impossible to predict, NE, BAL, PIT and TN should be in the playoffs.

One team makes it from the AFC West, I used SD by default, but even if it ends up being Kansas City it will have zero effect on the Jets chances. They are competing for one of two wild cards, forget the division.

Indy may very well not make the playoffs for all the reasons you mention, but they will certainly be involvied in the battle for the last playoff spot and are logical favorites to make it right now, with potential contenders HOU, Jets and MIA the most likely other options for that one available spot.

I personally predict HOU is the sixth playoff team this year, with NE making two “new” playoff teams from the AFC.

Harris, that was a very stereotypical southern drawal. However, you are probably quite correct about the way Favre conducted himself as a jet
