The Post says he wasn't fired only for the terrible record, but also the hits to the integrity of the franchise. I guess someone woke Bowlen up.
Great news.

Great news.
So... Jets didn't cover the spread?
As long as it isn't the rapist and the dog killer quarterbacking the superbowl, I'm good. Atlanta/New England would be a terrific super bowl.
My plan is to root for teams that have never won a super bowl. Failing that, for key players who haven't won.
In other words, not the Steelers or Patriots.
This was one of the most entertaining games I've ever watched.
Hopefully this shuts the Jets up for a while now. They're lucky they even made it to 9-2.

They were playing like shit tonight. Just need to shake it off and go kill the fish next week.
lol, 45:3? wtf? 
Ah, love when the Patriots get pissed off and play like they are capable of. And love that Bellichick's hatred of the Jets results in them going for it on 4th downs when they're up by 30, and still throwing and running trick plays at the end.
The Sanchize laid an egg on that one, some of those picks weren't even a challenge...

The Jets were garbage last night, from the part of the game I saw (I decided sleep was a more fruitful use of my time than the second half, and it appears I was right.) Regardless, to consider this some sort of outing of the team as incompetent is a little much. The Jets beat the Patriots by two touchdowns earlier this year, and beat the Browns, who has thoroughly embarassed the Pats a week earlier. The Jets lost starting their free safety and defensive quarterback on Friday, and their pass coverage looked confused because of that. There are a lot of issues that can't be explained away--such as why our receiving corps had five fucking drops in the first half--and the Pats really were the better team last night. Regardless, the complete and utter destruction of the Jets? Nice try, Pats fans.
Sucked to have him in fantasy. I thought I had a chance to beat you until Sanchez's point total started going backwards in the second half. Sadly, it looks like I'll be forced to start him again when I face your team this week in playoffs.
Damn, somebody call the whaaaaambulance for Albert Haynesworth.

Wonder how the Skins will get rid of him and his massively over-inflated salary?
EDIT: Posted this before reading he got suspended without pay for the rest of the season. That was pretty much all the Redskins could do.

Between the two games played by NE/NYJ in Weeks 2 and 13, the Patriots went 8-1, beating teams such as the Ravens, the Steelers, the Chargers, and the Colts (though both of those last teams, admittedly, are having down years). The Jets had also gone 8-1 in that time, but aside from the Patriots, they haven't beaten a single team that's .500 or better. The only team they'd even faced during that stretch that does have a record over .500 are the Packers, and they lost that game.
When the Patriots and Jets first met, the Patriots were missing Logan Mankins (Kevin Faulk was New England's leading rusher with 22 yards), still had Randy Moss (who beat an injured Revis for a touchdown), and were dealing with a young and inexperienced defense. The Patriots were a very different team back then. Now, granted, the Jets lost Jim Leonhard just days before the game, so in this second go-around the Jets weren't exactly the same team either.
The Jets aren't as awful as the Patriots made them look last night, but they weren't as good as their record indicated, either. They've had a pretty soft schedule, and a few of those wins were by the skin of their teeth.
I still think both teams are going to make it to the playoffs, though. It'll be interesting to see what happens if they play each other again.

I'm likely the only Broncos fan to feel this way, but I'm not happy that McD has been released. I still felt like he could have done good things for Denver and I wanted to see him get at least a third year to get his system up and running. Bowlen has now doomed Denver to at least another 2-3 years of mediocracy at best simply because we will now have some new guy come in, tear up McD's rebuild job,and start his own rebuild. Bowlen better stick with the new guy for a few years because we're never going to win anything if we're stuck in a never-ending rebuild mode. I think the thing that stings the most about this is that, unlike the other two fired coaches this season, the Broncos were still playing hard- poorly, but hard- and the team supports McD and feels like they are the ones that got him fired.
Now that McD is gone, I'm changing my stance on Tebow and saying that the remainder of this season should be Tebow-Time. Tebow lost his biggest supporter in McD. As much as I like and support Orton, Tebow needs to play this season just so he can show what he has to contribute to his team. I'm gonna be pissed if the new guy shows up and just straight up chucks him out for being an unworkable pet project.

Yeah, who would've thought that trading away extremely talented young players and bringing in over-the-hill veterans and cripples would have a detrimental effect on the quality of football played? Dude deserved more time.
In any event, I think the colossal disaster of McDaniels' tenure guarantees that the Broncos will never, ever again hire a guy who wants full coach / GM powers.

I think Tim Tebow was his undoing. Why draft another young QB when you have a capable starter in Kyle Orton?
