:rofl: doesn't it? Any person who can't see the upside of making the playoffs with a large amount of rookies/young players while being in great cap shape for the off-season has a few issues.
As long as our Qb can not spread the field the elite teams will stack the line against us and stop our running game no matter who is blocking or running. The Patriots have been doing the same thing to Pennington for the past five years. If we had Lt running for us they would still stack the line and Make Pennington throw it up the field and the result would be the same. We had a hall of fame back in Curtis Martin and a Veteran line and we had the exact same result as yesterday.
I don't care, but people keep citing this tough schedule, and the fact is there are 4 games different, and 2 of them are because we're playing one another so thre argument is BS.
I don't see what one has to do with the other. Is anyone saying the Patriots don't have a tough schedule next year? The schedule would obviously be of more concern to the Jets who have less talent then the Patriots.
One of the youngest teams in the league, first year coach made the playoffs and won 10 games, tons and tons of salary cap room with a front office who knows how to build a football team and 4 day 1 picks...it's a sad sad day to be a Jets fan.
I know. Aren't we way under the cap?! Don't we have alot of money we can throw around? We'll have a good draft too. We got the Skins 2nd round pick. Good thing they sucked this year.
Elite teams are elite beacuse they don't have to stack the line to stop the run and Elite running teams run on stacked lines all the time. We did it in 04 by having a road grader at RT along with a solid RB TE and a real good lead FB. This team's line is young and job one this year was pass protection. We are a finesse team that uses the short pass as a running play. I would bet that's not by Mangini's prefrence but based on the inherited personal.
