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...

I don't follow these lines. I think you may have mixed up your scores.
A TD by Jacksonville puts them ahead 28-22. A reliable Feely doesn't help them much on a field goal. --- I just assume score a TD and then stopping the rookie QB from driving his team down the field in 1:30.

Yea that was a brain fart....
Regardless though the chances of The Jets going down in a 2 minute drill and scoring a TD to win the game are higher than Scobee missing a extra point chip shot going strictly by stats in his career Josh Scobee is 178-181 in Extra Points .... that's roughly 1 miss in every 60 attempts (and 41-42 of FGs attempted from 29 yards or less). Surely the Jets will run a 2 minute drill and score a TD more often than 1 in 60 ...
