New York Jets: Has Rex Ryan Set the Jets Up For Failure?

New York Jets will get a chance for revenge this weekend when they take on the New England Patriots, who embarrassed the Jets in their last meeting.

As the Jets get ready for the showdown, Rex Ryan has tried to deflect the pressure from his players and on to himself.

"This is about Bill Belichick versus Rex Ryan," Ryan said to the media. "There's no question, it's personal. It's about him against myself. That's what it's going to come down to."

In a rare moment of humor, Belichick responded to Ryan in a conference call with the media.

"I might have a little quickness on him, he's probably got a little more strength and power on me," Belichick said to the media. "I don't think you'll see either of us out there making any blocks, or tackles, or runs, throws or catches. At least you won't see me doing that. It's probably a good thing for our team."

I honestly think that Ryan's strategy isn't going to work, he may try and deflect pressure, but those players remember what happened to them and talking isn't going to help when the teams take the field on Sunday. I think the Patriots beat the Jets and move on to another AFC Championship game.
