That is the question. I know that Jake had brought this topic up recently but I figured I’d add my two cents. Maybe it’s just the former softball player in me but I’d (quoting the phrase that has been overplayed since he said it 5 years ago) play to win the game.

Sunday’s game, to me, represents a little bit of pride here. As a team, you should want to go into the off-season on a high note. And doing so over your former coach isn’t that bad either. The Jets have shown flashes of really good things this year, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The offensive has been pretty bad all year but I would think that a win against the Chiefs would give them a good feeling going into the off-season where we all know that changes are a coming.

I didn’t like the circumstances surrounding Herman Edwards’s exit from the organization and the Michael Kay interview right before it all went down still rings in my head. When asked if he wanted to stay Edwards pretty much said that he wanted to stay and be with the Jets. So when it was announced that he was leaving; I pretty muched hated the guy. Edwards did do some good things as a coach but also did many bad things. I would love to see the Jets pull off a win on Sunday.

The Jets need to leave the fans with some hope for the future. As Jake said yesterday, it seems that it’s going to be Clemens under center Sunday. He needs to show the coaching staff and the fans that he really is the quarterback of the future. If he is, then Clemens will need to be more accurate with his passes and make smarter decisions. That offensive line needs to step it up entirely. You can’t have Clemens scrambling for his life with Jared Allen and company busting through. Somehow with that offensive line Thomas Jones and Jerricho Cotchery had 1,000 yard seasons, give them something to work with please o-line?

I also don’t want them to tank the game for a draft pick. The Jets could still be a top five pick for next year so does it really matter if they lose? I just don’t want them to finish behind the 49ers. Remember, the Patriots get that first round pick whatever it is because if the Jets end up behind the Pats on draft day… it’s just not a good situation.

All I want to see is the team play to win. It’s the one thing that they’ve done all year. They don’t quit which is what I like about the Mangini regime. I just want to see them win.
