Ok, there's talk of the Mia-NY game getting flexed to the night game, which means if NE wins, and NYJ are out no matter what, they'll know it before the Mia game. Question:
Would you rather play the Jets with everything on the line, or with them deflated for missing the PO? If they have nothing to play for does it make our job easier or harder? It's a tough call.
1) No one can argue that the jets with no PO hopes will still be as emotional and relentless
2) However, I hate playing teams with nothing to play for when it's do or die for you (see today). The Jets will take risks, they'll go for it on fourth downs etc. It can actually hurt us, especially if we 'scared to lose.' How manyy times have we seen that over the years (Wanny years especially).
3) Not to get conspiratorial, but do you think there'll be any feelings on the other bench about NE getting in? Do you think Mangini wants to send Hoodie into the playoffs? Do you think there's a chance that some Jets (maybe guys like coles) would like to see Chad go through -- even on a subconscience level. I'm not suggesting that any player or coach will throw the game or play soft, but maybe, just maybe if Mia gets to a decent lead, the effort on the Jets will simply fizzle out. Just throwing it out there...
Interested in your thoughts...
PS: i hate ESPN & NFL network. I'm looking for highlights of today's games, and it's all Jets. I have to wait through Mangini's press conference, then farve's... come on already...But I digress.
