A Rapid Reaction to Another NFL Season

I normally don't make short, "lazy" blog entries, but I thought there was enough content in one of my recent Facebook statues to repost it here. Although it wasn't a great (or even tolerable) year to be a Jets fan, there's still been a ton of great football (just none from the Jets offense) to enjoy. Here's a few of my quick thoughts as we get ready for another NFL playoff season.

Good thing Sanchez is legendarily bad, as it took a 5 turnover game before Rex would bench him for a game. 5 turnovers? JaMarcus Russell never even had a game that bad. Just take a minute to think about that.

1. Although its a bummer that he missed breaking the rushing record by 9 yards, Adrian Peterson is a beast who carried what was supposed to be a terrible team into the playoffs. He has to be the MVP.

2. The Texans are toast. You can't go out with the chance to get that first round bye and fall apart like that. 

3. The Colts went from 2-14 to 11-5 (and a playoff berth) in one year. The only real difference? They added a great QB. Take notes, Jets management. Too bad there's no Andrew Luck's in the draft this year.

4. Who would have guessed that the Redskins would be competing for a playoff spot this late, or that the last game of the regular season would determine a division winner? This is what makes sports great.

5. And on a more personal note, its looking like the Jets will dump their GM and offensive coordinator. Add them to the growing list of personal Mark Sanchez got fired. Too bad his contract makes him untouchable. Then again, I guess the Jets deserve Sanchez considering how they deceived and mistreated Tebow all season. Something about what goes around...
