Like Jake said… We finally get the system up and running in enough time to post on another loss. But in all seriousness; wasn’t today just another sample of what this entire season was like… good but not good enough?

The defense played their butts off. They held Tennessee to 10 points; that unit continued to hold up their end of the deal. But there were times that I wondered and maybe the rest of you did too but there were a few times in the game where it was like how come you can’t get Vince Young on his butt?!? It’s like, you get there and get a pressure in his face but you can’t get him to look at the sky? I know… I’m being very picky but it was something I noticed.

Now to the offense… bottom line, that offensive line is in shambles. If I’m the GM; that would be my first priority. I hate to say this but I really think that they are regretting letting Pete Kendall go. He was a stabilizing force for both Nick Mangold and D’Brickashaw Ferguson. Bill Parcells said it best: the games are won and lost in the trenches. The offensive line are getting pushed around like rag dolls: so it’s no wonder why Chad and Kellen can’t throw the ball or that Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have issues running the ball.

With that being said… Congrats to Jones and the Jerricho Cottchery for both exceeding 1,000 yards this season. It’s a real tribute to them as athletes to accomplish that despite what the team has done overall. I don’t need to rehash stats since Jake did so nicely before.

Chad threw another two picks tonight but despite that; his numbers were still very good. Honestly, going back to my point on the o-line; Chad was getting pressure in his face almost every play and he still put up numbers like he did; 26-32 for 264 yards and 1 TD. Will he be here next year? That is still to be determined cause he can still start somewhere in the league but as a Pennington fan I want him to stay. I know I should probably wait before I decide on Clemens but I’m not completely sold. The Jets need a QB who has a combination of Pennington’s smarts and efficiency with Clemens’s arm: anybody out there like that?????

Well, Mr. “You Play to Win the game” himself returns to the Meadowlands next week… I think we all know what kind of reception he’ll get. If Chad does get offers to start somewhere, how many of you want to bet that Kansas City will be one of the teams making an offer?!?!?!?

Anyway, I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday; or Happy Kwanza if you celebrate. If you celebrate Hannukkah, then happy belated Hannukkah. I hope I got them all… but Happy Holidays everyone.
