It's easy, and only takes a few moments.All this talk about whether Mangini would throw the game and what time the game will be on deflects from the true question, will the Jets even play a competitive enough game to even be in a position to throw it anyway. I don't know if the Jets can beat the Dolphins if they try their hardest.

So true. If they lose they lose any sniff of a post season. If they win they still have 2 ways in to the post season. We lose= Jest in or Ravens lose= Jest in.
So why would they throw the game? They spite themselves more than us.
Mangini playing to lose would be like slashing his own throat to frame Belichick for murder. Yes, he would end the Patriots' season but he would likely end his career in the process. Costing Belichick a shot at the playoffs for a single season could cost him his job forever.
Belichick comes back next season with Brady, uses this season as fuel if kept out of the playoffs at 11-5 and goes on to win the Lombardi. The Rat is left to polish the rings he earned working for Belichick and knows his NFL career crashed and burned. Poetic and satisfying, yet I am betting, like a rat leaving a sinking ship, he plays for survival and goes for the win next week.
No. Because unless the Pats are up by 3-4 TDs in the fourth, a Jets win could still win the division if the Pats lose. Both games are at 1PM.
It's official the SD/Denver game is for the AFC West. The likelihood of either AFC East game getting moved to 4 PM has dwindled quite a bit.
a playoff spot is lot more impt to jets than BB right now. they havent won anything recently . Utlimately Miami is playing better football right now which is the bigger threat.

If the little cheating DoughBoy loses to the Phins it will cost him his job. Couldn't happen to a nicer rat fink bastard than DoughBoy.I doubt it, as the Jets can still win the division by beating Miami and the Pats losing in Buffalo. However, I wouldn't put it past that little rat.
It's going to get flexed. They can't take an NFC game.
Sirrously. You play to win the game. Even Eric Mangina.
I thought I heard the only way for the Jets to get to the playoffs was winning the division.
They need the Pats to lose and them to win.
That is why I think the Jets/Phins should be @ 1pm and Pats/Bills @ 4pm, so there is no chance of mischief by the Jets.
Ah, there's the rub, isn't it. The Dolphins are playing much, much better than the Jets. They have something like 12 turnovers all year. I think this is going to turn out just like in 2002, when we needed Favre to step up and beat the Jets after we beat Miami...I believe the score was 41-7 Jets. Jacksonville arguably has a better chance against the Ravens (well, maybe that's overstating it, but I would be shocked if the Jets win).
