Article about Mangini Just wait! He needs more time. He hasn't got his players. He delegates his authority to to his coordinators. What ever the problem is, rest assured IT IS NOT HIS FAULT.

Article about Mangini I thought Mangini came out of the Parcells/Belicheck tree. He was boy - genius coming from New England. I had no idea he was Dick Jauron Junior. No wonder the Cowher rumors have begun circulating in Jets Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 John Madden was asked this morning about the Jets/Bills game. He basically said, "Well, at least the Jets aren't as bad as the Bills. The Bills show up on the schedule at a perfect time for the Jets. The Jets will be able to get things rolling in the right direction for the stretch." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 What exactly were your expectations for them this year? I expected them to be right about where they are now. People just dismissed them because they had everything go wrong last year, but they were a playoff team the year before. And unlike the Bills, the Jets actually went out and addressed their specific needs last off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 What exactly were your expectations for them this year? My expectations were that the bills/jets would be competing for a wc spot (pre brady injury). That they're a team who still has some holes, but was constructed to try to win now. The fact they may miss the playoffs entirely falls on ManHerm as some of my friends who are jet fans call him. Favre isn't going to get any younger, and at times has struggled this year. The jets have been an up and down team. With the team built as is, anything less then winning the east, would be an embarrassment to the organization. They're not set up to be competative for the long term, and once Favre goes, The Dolphins, and yes the Bills will both pass them. The Patriots are by far still the most talented team in the division, and the gift that was awarded on a silver platter, will be a colossal Epic Fail for the Bills and Jets, once Brady returns. Neither The Man Genius, nor Jauron can adjust on the fly, and the flat uninspiring play of their teams reflect their demeanor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think about it this way: your expectations were that they would compete for a wildcard spot. They're not only doing just that, but are additionally competing for the AFCE crown.

They're not only doing just that, but are additionally competing for the AFCE crown. In what way are they falling short of expectations? Well the fact they could miss altogether and there's a good chance they do is falling short. Once Brady went down, all expectations were raised for the jets. They're a fa spent team that was looking to compete against the pats and the afc's best. My expectations were lower then what the jets were selling their fanbase. You don't bring in Favre, and spend the way they did to compete for a wc,. Struggling to pass Matt Cassell, while losing to the broncos at home and getting throttled by the 49ers. I'd say that's falling short of expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Jets might be built more for a one and done type season than any other team in the NFL---they spent a lot of money on aging veterans who are gonna need to be replaced or will be in serious decline after this year, especially Favre who will likely retire. Once that happens you can expect them to miss the playoffs for the forseeable future as they try and find a QB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
