The last two years this team has played hard-nosed football thru the Wild-Card chase within the season - an emotional roller-coaster - all the way thru the playoffs as a road team - on their way to two consecutive AFC Championships. With a Rookie QB. Each Game seemingly a Barnburner, sometimes against first balllot HOF QBs. The first year, they lost to the Peyton-led Colts. Last year, we avenged that loss, avenged a decade-long performance vs the Pats and beat them. But lost to another HOF caliber QB in Big Ben and the Steelers all-time D. This team is tired. A bit lost. And in need of perspective. The run they have been on has been epic. NEVER HAS THIS ORGANIZATION MADE 3 STRAIGHT PLAYOFFS. AND that record will be maintained, barring a miracle. The Jets don't need that gift. I am being honest. The success of the past 2 and 5/8 years has masked the flaws and made the coach try to compensate with theatrics. What BS. Props to REX, but this Coach should not have to compensate for the team using theatrics. Finally, the bottom has fallen thru. I'm telling you. Missing the playoffs will be good for this team. For Mark Sanchez - who has never had an offseason without the stress of playoffs getting into January. For Shonn Greene, LT, The Defense including Pouha, Devito, and the rookies - Ellis, Wilkerson, etc. The FO needs to strategically assess the talent. Top 3 Needs: #1: #1 WR Talent on the Outside: A 6'2"+ 210 lb 4.45+ player that can get off the line and get downfield. Sanchez has been known as a player that can throw the ball downfield. All you have to do is look at his history with Edwards. This, more than anything, will get this team to dominance. #2: A dominant, athletic safety - or MLB - that can cover a TE and the middle of the field, and not miss tackles. #3: OL Depth: RT.
that used to be #1 but with Maybin - who to REX is really still a prospect - they have MAJOR material to work with.
What I will say is it'll make the front office think about how to improve the team long term instead of simply signing and trading for band aids
"Watching The Playoffs Will Be Good For The Players, Coaches and Entire Organization" Tell that to the owner who will not get any playoff revenue and still has to pay big money for one of the worst QBs in the league.
I think even if we make the playoffs, we will still think about improving long term. This season showed our weaknesses very clearly unlike the last two seasons. The last two season the problems went away for times and only creeped up in the AFC title games. This year, the problems have been burning us all year.
No it won't, what were Sanchez and Braylon Edwards doing after they got eliminated last year at a bar drinking it up. The football players not named Revis, Mangold, and David Harris care less then you think. They get their paychecks regardless.
I don't ever think missing the playoffs is a good thing but this team needed to be humbled and today did that. It humbled Rex big time to have his ass kicked all over the field by a mediocre Giants team. To watch Victor Fucking Cruz destroy Cromartie and Wilson will humble Croamrtie. I don't agree that it's a good thing to miss the playoffs but it could be a blessing in disguise as serious changes need to be made.
Victor Cruz had 1 fuckn big play dude, the defense played very good today its the offense who let us down as usual. The defense is not the problem and Cromartie and Wilson compliment Revis very well. Tell me one defense who wouldn't want Revis-Cromartie as their 1-2 corners. Cromartie is one of the best 2nd corners in the league.
I don't think it will happen but ganggreen always seems to have some luck this time of year as of the past couple years..
