Painful loss, but it was fun to watch, even for a little while after that lateral gone bad we were still in it. We had a few mistakes, but the future is definitely bright and I can't wait to see Mangini's Jets next year! I haven't been this excited in a while, Mangini did a great job developing our players this year and another offseason of filling holes.... I'm ready for the Draft and Training Camp!
I feel the exact same way. I'm disappointed we lost...I really am but I am extemely proud of this team and proud to say I'm a Jets fan. I really look forward to our future.
I'm extremely optimistic over next year because our deficiencies are easily identified. When Herm departed last year it seemed like we had so many holes to fill and it was like, "Okay, where TF do you even start here?" Among the many things Mangini has brought to this team this year, he's also done an excellent job of exposing our areas of weakness. He's been unafraid to play the rookies and find out where we are with them. RBBC is one example, but he's done it in other areas too. I can envision Mangini and Tannenbaum immediately getting the CS together and discussing the areas that held us back this year and developing a seriously aggressive game plan to fix the problems. By August you're going to be watching one awesome group of people on the field.
I'm wearing one of my Jets shirt and my Jets hat today as a tribute. It was great season. Better than anyone expected and for that I am thankful. But now the season is over and its time to start thinking about what can be done to make this team better.
