I was at the Jets game. The MJD decision was very smart. Rex Ryan even instructed the Jets to let him score, once they got down to the 14, but we couldn't even do that correctly! I would've saved a few more seconds in case of a botched snap though, but saying that they don't trust their D bc they didn't go in the endzone is just crazy. Why even entertain the possibility of a Jet comback drive if you can just run the clock out first? how often is a chip shot FG the length of an extra point missed? I'd say less often than the Jets could mount a drive in 1:30 that could get them in FG range for a very reliable Feely

As far as Belichick's decision, I think it was insanely stupid. If this were any other coach in the league, he'd be getting chewed out beyond belief. You have a 6 point lead, punt the ball and make them go 80 yards and they need to score a TD.

The sickest thing is that with how bad the Jets have been playing and how good the Pats have, if we win next week we're only 1 game back from the division!... and The Jets seem to find ways to beat the teams we're supposed to lose to (Texans/Pats back to back this year, Titans/Pats back to back on the road last year) despite losing to teams they should kill...
