I just keep thinking of the 2006 team, which was 4-4 at the break and ended at 10-6, and with games left against Jak, TB, Car, Buf..don't think it is crazy to hope for the same thing I think the talent is there and I am not down on this team as much as it appears that most fans/writers are, which I will write about later in the week.

QB - Sanchez held the ball half a blink too long on the last sack, but no way I fault him on this. He got whacked, never saw the guy coming, and held on to the ball. That one is on the O-line. Special Teams - Jay Feely was awesome and drilled Ginn twice. For him to be a factor at all in tackling is impressive. This disaster lays on the special teams players like Woodhead and Strickland AND on the coaches who decided to deactivate Carrol, Cole, and Murrell. Coaching - Going for 2 points was a non factor. It was a gamble that didn't pay off and was completely nullified by the Fins failed 2 point conversion. His decision is magnified by the douchebag sportswriters who feel the need to question a coaches decision in order to create conflict and drama, thereby selling more papers. Same with the talking heads calling the game. They look at risk as an opportunity to attack and question the competence of the coach. It's a questionable call - sure - but it barely had an impact on the game. I really like this team and I imagine the inconsistency is due to the growing pains. We have something special going on here, I just hope the fans are patient enough to appreciate it... and by 'fans' I mean the same idiots who wanted to bench Sanchez after the first half.

One that is heading for a 6-10 record or a 10 – 6 one

One of my favorite stories about the Jets is about the longest run in Jets' history. It was a 90 yard run by Johnny Johnson. They did not score on that drive-no touchdown, no FG, nada. (Jack Trudeau subbing for the injured Esiason, Pete Carroll, coach.) I keep telling myself it will be that much sweeter when they win. Look-Sanchez has the chance to be something special. The main goal of this season is to have him play 16 football games to get him the experience that will make him one of the best qbs in the game. He had a very good game, but imagine how much better he will be when he doesn't get the yips and throw passes above the receivers heads in the first half? Have you noticed how he frequently has had to 'settle down' in a game before he gets hot? This, I think, is inexperience, The upside here is phenomenal. Hopefully, Ryan will also improve as a coach, and we will really have something here. The personnel, I think, is pretty good. The Jets truly are special that way.
