Jets day off

October
21

Tuesday is the regular day off for the Jets, and the good news is that Brett Favre holds his weekly presser tomorrow and will be asked about the allegation that he gave the Green Bay offense to the Lions.

Yesterday, the beat writers asked for a comment from Favre about the Jay Glazer report, but the Jets didn’t make him available. Favre did text Peter King to say that the whole thing was “bs.” Reports out today say it isn’t a formal NFL offense, but that statue in Green Bay is looking less and less likely.

From a lot of your comments, it looks like the optimism Favre brought is starting to dissipate. That he can’t lift the black cloud and raise the franchise up beyond it’s own ineptitude. True, the Jets will not be 5-2 heading up to Buffalo, but it’s still pretty early in the season.

D’Brickashaw Ferguson was asked if this was the worst loss of his career, probably because Favre said it was up there for him, and he’s had 18 years of losses in the playoffs, etc.

“Whenever you lose you always have a bad feeling in your stomach and it’s hard to measure losses,” Ferguson said. “Each game provides its own negativity if you didn’t win the way you wanted to. Obviously, this is a bad loss for us, but we can definitely be successful and overcome this.”

I looked at the game again this morning and Thomas Jones was incredible. Lots of yardage and some long runs. The line did a good job of making holes for the run. It’s just that Favre was pretty rushed and spent too much time brushing grass off his uniform. Here’s what WR Chansi Stuckey had to say about what hurt the Jets most.

“It was penalties,” Stuckey said. “We put ourselves in some second and third and long situations that it’s really hard to come out of. I think we need to correct the self-inflicted wounds and I think we will be fine.”

There were so many things that went wrong in this game it’s hard to pick just one.

    Well in my opionion seem’s that alot of journalist and so called expert’s have done nothing but write negative’s about Favre.Alot of “Bashing” going around and blaming of 1 person.I find it really stupid!! He didn’t ask to come to N.Y. and he sure didn’t ask to be paraded around N.Y. when he got there.You guy’s put him on this pedistal and made him out to be some kind of “GOD”!! And now you beat him up! Very classy,NOT!!

    This is the ultimate “TEAM” game period!! Did you think maybe he’s just doing the best with the hand he was dealt with?After all this was a 4-12 team last year,What did you expect,Favre to take this team to the super bowl this year!!
    He’s been the only guy to Man up and not make excuse’s…
