While I am biased as a Jets fan, seeing as how i watched every game last season, they aren't that bad. They lost a few games where a play or two was the difference between them winning and losing. I know that's how it usually is, but last year every play went against them. And, the thing that has held them back since Chad Pennington put on the jersey was not being able to move the ball down the field. With Favre they can move the ball which will help out Thomas Jones immensely and their line got a few key upgrades. They're going to win the AFC East this year.

Finally, the NY Post is entertaining? To humans?
That is the case for a lot of the middling teams in the league- what happens if Favre's shot put on 4th down on Sunday falls incomplete? Food for thought.

The Jets don't suck, I'm just egging on Joey. Even though I'm a Bills fan I don't dislike them, either- I hate the Pats and Dolphins. I just don't think they're anywhere near anything better than a first round playoff loser. Of course you could have said that about the Giants last year, so no reason not to hope.

If you are going to do the "what happens if" with the Farve 4th down td you also have to do "what happens if" the kicker doesnt get hurt.

They wouldnt have missed that first chip shot field goal.

They wouldnt have went for it on 4th down, there for no TD but still 3 pts.

Now i did not intensely watch the whole game, as I made it to the sports bar and was watching the Birds game with my new Eagles friends so I cant say how many other FG tries they could have had.

But there is 6 pts right there ^ so if you play "what happens if", the Jets still win. I feel they would have won by more if the kicker had not been hit and the game would not have come down to the last Dolphins possession.

The Fins also looked much improved than last year, and Chad looks like he will do alright there!

GO EAGLES!


Edit - dont teams keep back up kickers??? Or do they just rely on one guy who could go down??
