Tannehill and Sanchez, too little experience?

The Jets were down 20-17 w/ under 10 mins left in the game. it was not a Miami type postseason blowout.

yes I am delusional for posting facts and you are clearly not delusional trying to claim Mike Sherman deserves credit for developing Brett favre.
no more delusional than you claiming 2 legitimate winning seasons out of 3 :idk: That's the credibility watermark. Maybe you'll earn more if you ever acknowledge that they were at best an 8-8 team, and only because Cinci was already dead.

They are not excuses, they are the facts. KC, Sea, and STL were all bad teams, but that is completely different than playing teams that already have things wrapped up. #1. They rest their starters, and #2. they have no desire to win at all. No real game planning, desire, ect, ect... Completely different. Miami was not a good team, but how did that work out for the Jets this year?
It's never going to end if it keeps getting talked about. I don't know why you, others, or Junc would even care to continue the conversation. How much more can be said about it? He thinks the Jets runs were legit and others don't.
Agree to disagree.
you played 5-6 DEAD teams to end 2008, we got a qtr and ahalf of backups against Indy in a close game then a half of backups against Cincy in a blowout game. You had a MUCH easier time to make the playoffs so it's comical how you guys will bash the Jets for taking care of business in 2009 yet praise the dolphins for taking care of business in 2008. I wonder why that is?:err:

I love how you always talk about spin. Mike Sherman helped develop Brett favre?He didn't go to Gb until after Favre had won a SB and was already league MVP.
Favre was 7-3 as postseason starter until Sherman joined GB, w/ Sherman as OC/HC he was 4-6. Post Sherman? 2-2
but Mike Sherman helped develop Favre:lol2::lol2:
Sanchez was so unready for the NFL he helped his team to 2 title games in his first 2 seasons.
Well now you guys have two "proven" winners at the QB position who cant throw the fkn ball.

Because facing bad teams is completely different than facing good / average teams that have no desire to win. Just look at the last Jets / Dolphins game. The Dolphins also won 11 games in 08, while the Jets needed help to win 9 in 09.

Sorry, I won't even attempt to make a mature comment on this topic anymore. That horse has been flogged to the point that the Elmer's factory should be on speed-dial.
The dolphins won 11 games against an incredibly weak schedule, they beat one playoff bound team- the 8-8 Chargers
The Indy starters had no desire to go undefeated?
The Jets made the playoffs by one game in '09, Miami made it by one game in '08. The Jets once in postseason won 2 road playoff games including beating the hottest team in the league int he div rd, Miami got thrashed at home against a team that hadn't won a playoff game since 2001(also beat Miami).

We have been over this a ton of times before. While the Dolphins were beating the bad / average teams they played in 08, the Jets were busy losing 6 out of 7 at one point and losing to teams like 7-9 Miami (X2), 6-10 Buff, 7-9 Jax, and 9-7 Atl. All bad / average teams that the Jets couldn't handle their business agasint, but they somehow manged to beat an undefeated Colts team, and an average Cincy team. I wonder why that is?
I'm sure a part of the Colts would have liked to go undefeated, but it was not the the priority, or they would have kept the starters in and won the game just like they did a couple weeks later.
You have to admit that if the 09 Jets faced the 08 Ravens, they would have lost that playoff game. I don't see the point of using the playoff win as a way to validate the Jets season while dismissing the Dolphins based solely on a playoff loss to the Ravens when the Jets would have also lost to the Ravens.
They also beat NE and had they lost to Houston the Texans would have made the playoffs instead of the Jets. The bottom line is the dolphins took advantage of the weakest sched we have seen in a long time, they took care of business against mostly bad teams. The jets did what they had to do to stay in contention w/ a rookie QB and when they got the benefit of Indy resting starters for a qtr and a half they took advantage..
I don't admit anything, the Ravens kind of have our # but I guarantee you we would have given them a much better agme than you did. The '09 Ravens w/ a 2nd yr QB didn't compete against Indy the week before the jets trailed by only 3 w/ under 10 mins left.
The jets proved they belonged in postseason, Miami proved they were a product of a weak sched. Both earned their postseason berths while one stayed around much longer b/c they were a much better team.
