We don't have a playoff team. I'm not saying this to troll and I'm not saying this because of the 0-2 start. We lost to the Pats, big deal, everyone loses to the Pats. We also lost to one of the best defenses in the Ravens. No big deal, but if we do want to go on a deep run, we're gonna have to face these guys in the playoffs. As you can see from the 7 quarters in which the Jets were dominated, the team just isn't ready. Sure it would be nice to win now but the goal is the Lombardi trophy and it'll take us a couple of years to contend. Winning 7-9 games with Pennington this year doesn't excite me too much.

I have followed the Jets since the days of Richard Todd imagine my angst.

Jets fans had them at 9-7 if they played an injury free mistake free season. I predicted 7-9 unless they get every break known to man, then 9-7 maybe 10-6.

The problem is with the defense (LDO). A lot of you would probably hate the idea but IMO we need to get rid of Vilma. Especially in Mangini's 3-4, his skills aren't really being utilized properly. Same with Robertson. I would really love it if we started running a 4-3 more often and I think our defense would be A LOT better but I doubt it happens.

The defensive unit will gel. Mangini had the position of defensive coodinator with the Patriots before the Jet's job. I trust his coaching skills to get the defense in order.

Miami is exactly what this team needs to get itself riled up. When the Jets went 1-15 we beat the Dolphins.
