...until the NFL preseason starts and I can put yet another miserable Mutts season behind me.
And so the cycle continues.

Hate to bredak it to ya, but the J-E-T-S ain't lookin much B-E-T-T-E-R.
Not that I'm trying to add to your complex or anything...
Yeah, well, 3 months till Duke Hoops. Can we go back-to-back as ACC champs?
Yes. We. Can.
J-E-T-S will be fine. Thomas Jones back and ready, solid O and D lines, more aggressive D coach, and Leon Washington as difference maker. It's just a matter of how long it takes sanchez to settle into NFL. His main focus for year 1 will have to be "just don't make mistakes." Let the D win games since ryan is our head coach.
Wow, where was all this optimism for the Mets? Way less likely for the Jets to be good than the Mets this year.
Rookie QBs getting it done in the NFL are few and far between.
That's true, I'm not expecting much out of Sanchez this year. However, I think the Jets have 3 things in their favor as far as having to use a rookie QB. First, he's cocky - the kind of cocky you need to survive in NY and not wilt under the extreme media and fan pressure.
Second, Ryan has been explicit that he is going to be heavy on the ground game with the offense. With Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, our version of thunder and lightning, we're in good shape.
Third, given the 2nd point, all Sanchez has to do this year is not force too many bad throws/INTs, to avoid setting the offense back.
The AFC east is going to be tough for sure, but I don't think the Pats are a 14-2 or even 13-3 team this year. I think those days are behind them.
Of course, as I mentioned initially, "the cycle continues." The cycle being: optimistic about Mets; Mets suck; look forward to NFL season and washing bad MLB taste out of my mouth; Jets suck; look forward to MLB season...
You cannot run in the NFL if the opposing defense goes 8 in the box, not even against middling Ds.
Sanchez can't just protect the football--he's also got to prove he can hurt an opposing defense that wants to creep up on the line. I don't know whether he will be capable of doing it in his first season or not (I agree with you re: his makeup), I just know that the odds are against it.
With Ryan and the general talent level, I'm pretty optimistic about our 2-4 year trajectory, but I still think 8-8 this season would be a success.
You know what we could really use? A 5-year rebuilding plan.
Why not?
Seems to be a good enough plan for our president...
What I wanna know is what do we have to get the Thousand
Year plan
