Favre in NY? With NY media? With a different offensive system? Guess where William Berry falls on it.

The Jets improved marginally.  (Sorry, Pennington is not as bad as people think.)

Assuming it is Brett of 2007, not Brett of 2005, Brett is decent, not horrible.  Look at TDs vs. INTs.  15 is arguably OK, 29 is really bad.  Sorry Favre apologists.  That assumption is a must.  If he plays like the 2005 Favre, he gets benched in NY while the GB fans wonder why they are failing the holy Favre

Frankly, as a Patriot fan, I'm glad the Jets gave away a draft pick.

At first I thought no big deal.  Then I realized Favre does beat up weak teams well.  Look at the schedule.  Two games vs. the Bills, two vs. the 'phins, one each vs. Oakland, KC, Denver, Arizona, St. Louis, San Fran, Tenn, and Cincy. 

I think 9 or ten wins is possible.  With a regular schedule maybe 8-8.  However they could, possibly, get a wild card. I don't see them advancing unless their opponent totally collapses in the playoffs.  (I'm looking at you, Indy.)

I do wonder what the over/under is on Patriot interceptions (keep in mind the Patriots secondary is mostly rookies or new free agents).  Two games, 5.5 ints?  I'll say over.

Oh, I could be wrong, I don't think I am, but maybe Favre does walk on water.

  1. You are wrong son

  2. Favre doesn't walk on water, he runs over weak deep coverage.
