My family had season tickets until their move to Florida, but I still know a bunch of guys that go every Sunday for 20+ years. The last thing we need is a guy who is wearing Packers colors under our Jersey. The only way this team will ever earn some respect is to demand a commitment to this organization from each of their players... regardless of their last name... and yes, Tannenbaum should've been out, and Shannahan should've been in... but Ryan is a strong candidate and I'll give the dude a chance! Love the Boss reference too!!! My wife's a "Jersey Girl" so I gotta give Bruce his love!!! Jeff- I definitely agree that the defense fell off in the second half of the season. In my opinion this is directly related to Time of Possession. The beginning of the year, the Jets were running the ball and allowing the defense to rest (most importantly Kris Jenkins) but in the second half of the year, this became a throw first team. That will hurt the defense every time. Look at what makes a good defensive squad... It's a good running game and a quarterback that doesn't put them in bad position. IowaChick- I know it's hard to accept the truth. It's very hard to look at a guy who you root for and accept the truth that they just don't have it anymore. Unfortuntatley, when you really look at the numbers, and the way Brett has held Green Bay hostage for the past 5 years it's funny you feel this way. When it comes to our favorite guys, we turn a blind eye to the truth. I understand. Unfortunately, this is not a new thing I'm saying. I've been talking about this for the last 5 years. Brett Favre sells, because the NFL markets him too... not cause he's the best QB. Unfortunately, if he does this crap in NY, we'll call him on it. He was able to hide in Wisconsin for the last decade with fans like yourself that will just give him a pass, because those INT's are so exciting... LOL!!! Patrick- please bro, I beg of you not to ever call an interception "exciting, beautiful and full of passion for the game" That's like telling your kids that they don't need to study all week for a test on Friday, as long as when they take that test that they do it with passion. They used to study and were the top of the class, but instead now they wing it on test day and fail with passion...??? Yup, very respectable. Scott- You're right... it's a team game... but unfortunately in this league, you have guys making lots of money that are brought in for specific reasons.  BELIEVE ME, if Favre would've come into this team and managed this team to the best of his abilities without leading the league in PICK's... ARE YOU GUYS PAYING ATTENTION? THIS GUY YOU'RE DEFENDING LED THE NFL IN INT'S, AND HAS DONE THAT MULTIPLE TIMES IN HIS CAREER!!! THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT YOU ALL KNOW IN YOUR HEARTS THAT SOMEONE WITH HIS STATS @ 39 YEARS OLD WOULD'VE BEEN RAN OUTTA TOWN A LONG TIME AGO... BESIDES THE FACT WOODY WANTED TO SELL JERSEYS AND SELL PSL'S. THAT'S THE TRUTH. NY Fans, especially Jets fans are some of the most intelligent in the league. That's why guys like Wayne and baz know the real deal. For a new stadium, this was the right thing for the franchise financially. But we all know, that's about it. This wasn't the best move to win ball games.</p> <p>The Jets O-line had struggled two years ago... The Jets brought in the beef with Faneca, Woody, Tony Richardson, Jenkins, Pace, etc... to turn this into a run first defensive team... You can all say what you want about Favre, but this team is better off without him. I appreciate what he's done for this league, but his time has passed. Those QB's who have come into the league after his mold are struggling. The bottom line is if he was the best option for Green Bay, they would've kept him. He is turning into a pre-madonna, and that just won't work for me. Us Jets fans need to demand more!!!</p> Wayne, couldn’t agree with you more… My family had season tickets until their move to Florida, but I still know a bunch of guys that go every Sunday for 20+ years.
