This is going to sound completely insane, and I'm prepared for the oncoming beat-down, but it might be OK if the Jets beat the Paytoilets this week. We were already prepared for them getting in, and were geared up for the last wildcard spot anyway. Baltimore will lose to Indy, they'll be out. Denver could lose to Tenn or Indy, they'll be out. We all know the Jax scenarios.
But another loss could set something in motion here in beantown...doubt. They haven't lost back-to-back games in a loooonnnggg time. With Weis leaving for ND, that could start the finger-pointing. One thing the NE media is good at is making something out of nothing, and beating it into the ground for weeks on end. It's probably unlikely, but the whispers are starting...
