Heard on the Sirius Blitz on the way into work with Adam and John that Keller for sure and possibly a couple others came out and said the reason they played so poorly in San Fran was they were distracted by the media in NY getting them hyped up about a NY/NY superbowl. I couldn't stop laughing. The hosts tore into the players saying they are shocked something so stupid could be their reason they played poorly. I don't have a link but if true, that will cause a mess of distractions for the jets in the final three games. Mangini maybe hasn't spent enough time with all his players, he should give brett some breathing room and teach these other guys how to stay focused and determined. So glad he's not our coach. All sparano has our guys thinking is get to work to get 9.
They're right about that. I'm being smothered by all the sportscasters and sports media up here predicting an all NY superbowl. It's driving me crazy - I can't even watch the sports anymore. I was so happy when Channel 2 got rid of Duke Castiglione (a huge Jets homer) and then they replaced him with John Discepalo (an even bigger one).
Clayton was saying on Sportscenter that there are some dark rumors that should the Jets lose the final game against Miami and the Phins, and get eliminated from the playoffs, that Mangini could be fired in favor of none other than Coach Chin. I found that quite amusing, even if it does mean playing Cowher twice a year, it would be nice to see us become enough of a presence that we affect other teams coaching decisions.
Oh - and those Jets fans they interview on the news. Uggh. They keep showing Favor too - double uggh. Seems very cocky to me, or has he always been that way? Absolutely nauseating.
I don't know if its overconfidence, maybe a little a few weeks ago with all the Giants vs Jets Superbowl stuff. I just think the Jets can't figure out how to play in the West Coast, and they can't play 4:00PM games, just look at the schedule. That's got to come from coaching, what could they do different? I have no clue. I also think they are trying to keep Farve to much under wraps and playing the way they would with Pennington at QB.
Yeah I"m not sure if overconfidence is the word. Maybe distracted, unfocused. The hosts, and i agree, that you can't possibly expect anyone to believe that you lost last week because of the media reports, not a good thing to say publically, very brutal excuse nonetheless.
I agree, probably a result of him throwing pick 6s every week when they were letting him throw more. How ironic that now they just want him to be exactly like the guy they cut.
Chad has 200 more passing yards in 25 less attempts than grandpa Favre. Favre is making 8 mil more than Chad. Both teams have the same record Farve does have more TD's but he also has more Int's.
