Another Reason to Hate the J-E-T-S, Jets Jets Jets

So what just happened? We had to root for Mangina and the Jets? What a bizarre season...we all know the obvious set of facts. The Pats tried to bounce back from the biggest upset in Super Bowl history and it didn't look pretty from the start. Brady going down Week 1 against the lowly Chiefs was not a good sign. Obviously Brady was a biggie considering he, well, only won 3 Super Bowls and his backup, Matt Cassel hadn't started a game since high school.

But I digress...the Pats suffered through some other major setbacks such as Maroney not remembering how to run then being placed on IR, Rodney Harrison, Adalius Thomas, Tedy Brushi, Richard Seymour, Lamont Jordan and the list goes on and on. With all that the Pats also had one of the worst secondaries in the NFL yet they somehow managed to win 11 games (yes I know we beat 0 good teams). Then it came down to rooting for the Jets to actually pull out a win at home against the Dolphins. Grandpa Favre really earned his money tonight. Dishing out three picks and just really shitting the bed down the stretch. The Jets ended the season losing 4 of 5 to the likes of Denver, SF and Seattle!?!? Yeah that's the team we were rooting for tonight.

On top of that it's almost impossible to root for Favre this season. I swallowed my own vomit every time I had to listen to Tony Kornheiser give Favre a reach around on TV. "This guy brings an identity to this team, he's a gun slinger, a real gambler and he's going to improve this team...and I want him inside me." Listen Kornheiser, take your fuckin' bullshit elsewhere. I'm so sick of having to listen to him. What big shot at ESPN thought he was the guy to help with MNF ratings?

Anyways, I started looking at NFL Mock Drafts now that the Pats will not be heading to the playoffs and in all honesty we really could use some help. Who knows what Belichick is gonna do. He's the master of trading down in the first round to compile extra picks and future first rounders but this team needs some serious help in the secondary, offensive line, running back and QB since Cassel is probably gone. Kevin O'Connell anyone?
