Mangina's chance to stick it to us

[fishaholic18]

So, they move the Jets/Dolphins game to 4:15 Sunday..it was scheduled to be played at 1:00 originally.
If the Pats beat Buffalo at 1:00 and the Ravens beat Jax at 1:00.....
The Jets are playing for nothing...except...if they loose to the Fins...The Pats are out....

Maybe a little collusion to move the game so the Jets know how hard to play?

they also moved the ravens game to 4:15...at least that's what eei was reporting today.

"And that would mean the Jets would travel to Foxborough in the wild-card round."

Wouldn't that be SWEET!!!

Pats fans, IF jets win and wind up coming here in round 1 watch out. There is a known commodity in playing a divisional rival. Jets would be more dangerous in this situation,especially since they can't play any worse than they have. That would also motivate Mangini and that doesn't happen too often, but NYJ all want to beat Belicheat.

I will break out the brats for that one.

if they matchup again the jets won't know what hit them payback is a beeotch..

The only thing that motivates Mangina is a Delta Burke marathon on the Lifetime Network......

This is MANGINAS last game as a pro football coach in any capacity. He HAS to make the play-offs to get back to the only team in the NFL that will take him. This is a MUST win for the JETS. He will be lucky to get a job coaching Pop Warner if he loses. What an %$%$%$%$%$%$%$.

If Jets miss playoffs, should Mangini be shown the door?

After an 8-3 start it has become apparent that Brett Favre is simply too old to do it, and that coach Eric Mangini is in over his head and should not be retained if the New York Jets don't make the playoffs, according to Newsday.

With a $140-million makeover and a future Hall of Fame quarterback, Mangini thought he had the right group of players to make a meaningful run through the season. And at 8-3, it certainly looked as if that would be the case. But after losing three of their last four games to fall to 9-6 — and you'll recall how fortunate the Jets were to beat Buffalo last week — and with Miami and New England at 10-5, the Jets have playoff hopes that are paper-thin.

When you lose to Oakland, San Francisco and Seattle - teams with a combined record of 14-31 - and go 0-4 on the West Coast against four sub-.500 teams, you don't deserve anything else. In fact, the Jets are lucky to be alive in the playoff race after their disgraceful football in the past four weeks.

After Sunday's pathetic outing against the Seahawks, this much is certain: Favre is done after this year. Kaput. If the Jets ask him back after this late-season meltdown, they're even wackier than I thought. Barring a playoff berth and at least two postseason wins, Favre is at the end.

Mangini should be, too, especially if at this time next week, the Jets are putting their equipment in black plastic bags and explaining how it all went so horribly wrong. If Mangini doesn't get to the playoffs, the Jets need to show him the door. No excuses. No explanations. He was on board with the Favre decision, and he must pay the price if the collapse is completed next week.
