What happened in Arizona and the needless loss of innocent lives is a sad commentary on our society...not smack talk in a football game.
Matty is right this is sour grapes.

I second that and third Matty's post!

Right football is still a just a sport so why are we saying it is appropriate to use profanity on national tv or during interviews? I don't care if they want to trash talk and celebrate or anything like that. I coach XC and track and field and I tell my athletes that profanity is a sign of a weak man. Is there a time and place for it? sure, but on a daily basis and all the time it gets to be a little much. I don't have sour grapes, I have no rooting interest what so ever in Rex Ryan, but I do think it is possible to have some edge as a team and a coach and not be classless.

Dude gets around. His feet must hurt.

As for Sanchez, I never said he was outstanding (I'm not calling him the best QB prospect of the past five years) and I'm not disregarding the talent around him. Nor would I have traded up for him (largely because we didn't have the resources to do it and build elsewhere).

All I'm saying is he's improving, he's largely not throwing away wins, he's earning the trust of his coaches and I think he'll be a solid, not spectacular, for years to come. The Jets exceeded my expectations this year. But that's mainly because I thought the Dolphins would be much better this past year and they, along with the Pats, would keep the 10-6 Jets at home this year. But it's a team headed in the right direction.

Now I'll be rooting for the Steelers to lose to the Jets, but I want the Packers to beat the Jets in the SB. A classless team like that doesn't deserve to win (reason I root against New England) plus, I do NOT want to see a bad QB like Sanchez or Cutler win after we passed on them.

Steelers fans are getting obnoxious around here so I hope they can be quieted this week.

all this Rex Ryan hating comes off as sour grapes.

Whether you like him or not the guy is a heck of a football coach.

That said he's just one of many styles that gets results.

Gotta be impressed that he's gotten a team with a real young qb to the conference finals two years in a row and they've all been road games. You just don't see that a lot in the NFL.

The last time I saw Brady look as frustrated as he did yesterday, was in 2007 Super-Bowl XLII vs. the Giants. He left the field between series talking to himself on more than one occasion, it was clear the Jets took the Pats completely out of their game.

Time for Brady and Belichick to put their ego's aside and realize they lost to the better prepared team.

No he has 3 years in him.

And on the whole Jets acting like fools the Patriots mocked San Diego by dancing on their field they also where doing the Eagles dance every time they made a TD or big play in the Superbowl and the other countless things.Karma. I just didnt like Ryan running or whatever it was in the endzone I thought that was uncalled for.

I say more than that, especially with this upcoming draft were they have two 1st round picks, two 2nd round picks (one of them being the 1st one in round 2) two 3rd round picks, a fourth, fifth and sixth. They can a draft WR or two a RB, OL, DL, LB. They are stacked and pissed off!!

I get where you are coming from the team has plenty of years of good football. I see Brady on a decline in four years who knows what type of protection he will get. No QB plays well with pressure as he showed last night. I do see the team as a whole doing well. I wonder how much longer those Bellichek have left as a top football coach?
