Aside from having a team going nowhere fast, thus leading to the "What the hell" attitude Herm took in making that call, they couldn't execute a simple extra point earlier in the game, which led to having to make that decision in the first place. I say kudos to Herm for making that decision.

Yes, it would be a strange draft if we could use our first three picks on effective pass rushers AND take some offensive linemen in early rounds as well. Strange indeed.

Current starters: JaMarcus Russell. Gus Frerotte. That Fitzpatrick guy from Cincinnati. Sage Rosenfels. Marc Bulger. Seneca Wallace. Brady Quinn. Shaun Hill.

You know it's bad when you're worried about getting mocked by Browns fans.

Jared Allen. Kyle Vanden Bosch. The list is not long.

Way to get all fired up over a meaningless onside kick, coaching staff. You might try showing a little passion in the first quarter, rather than waiting until the game is over.

For those of you not completely sure if the Pats aren't just f***ing with us, how about the strategy on the last two plays. "Hey guys, we know we can score on third down, so let's tank the first two downs so we can take more time off the clock."

Losers of 5 of their last 7, including home games to Tampa and Atlanta. Yeah...go Sabres. You're next on the disappointment train. We'll all watch and pay attention, but we all know what how it's going to end. It's Buffalo, after all.

Salt in the wound. Sam Aiken? Really? Will Bellichek throw to Avion Black next just to tortre us a little more?

Yeah, really. Mayo just got in the league too. He's twice the player Poz is.

Agree with that. A 45-yard field goal in a dome...even with their kicking issues, you have to try that FG. The point is, going for it doesn't make a lot of sense. I understand the argument that the team needs a spark, so therefore DJ should have gone for it. But as bad as we've played, we are only down one score. I can't argue against punting in that spot. There's far more to criticize in that first half than that decision.

Whatever, jester. You'd complain if we were ahead 24-0 at the half.

I didn't say he wasn't, did I? By the way, the Saints, who are playing on the road against a divisional opponent and trailing by more points than we are, just went for it on fourth and three from inside the Atlanta 30. And guess what...they didn't get it. And I'd say the Saints have a slightly better offense than we do.

Not that any of you don't have a reason to be sick to your stomach about today (and the previous two weeks as well), but if we failed on fourth and three and New England drove down and got points before the half, you all would have been screaming about punting the ball. It's not DJ's fault that Hardy didn't get the first down.

I won'r argue that ML isn't struggling, but this is, for the most part, an OL problem. And for those of you hyping up Jackson (who I love as a BACKUP RB), I point to two plays last week that changed the game. One: the dropped screen pass. Jackson catches that and probably scores a TD. Instead, we throw a pick and the Jets get a TD. Two: Fourth and inches from inside the 10. Jackson runs right into the line. With any vision on that play, he takes it outside, easily gets the first down and probably scores. Make those two plays and we have 21 points early in the second quarter. That changes things, obviously. At the end of the day, I'm glad we have these two RBs. They aren't perfect, but they're both pretty good.

Say, aren't you the two boys that spray painted my cat? Uh no...those were other kids.

If they say Brian got the first down, the Jets can then accept the holding penalty. And then we punt.

EXACTLY. His release does not look the same. It's refreshing to read some posts where people are talking about the game, rather predicting gloom and doom for today and the rest of the season. How did we do on our first series of the second half last week. Touchdown. Yeah, and how did that turn out for us?

You won't get me to argue that the line has to play much better. But if Jackson held on to the screen pass just before the interception, he goes into the end zone for a TD. And he if bounces outside on fourth and inches, he walks into the end zone.

Yep. Just need to keep doing what we're doing, except finish the drives off.

The defense has yielded six points.

Actually a TD will give us a lead.

Fine. So then bounce the play outside and he cruises into the end zone.

Hope we don't need a timeout before the half.

Yeah, because the QB sneak was so useful last week. Jackson takes that fourth down play outside and he walks into the end zone. He catches the screen pass earlier and he walks into the end zone. It should be 21-6. So much for him being better than Lynch.
