Here's what you're referring, starts at the 14:05 mark:
Coach Bill Belichick, NE Patriots

I do remember hearing that on the Big Show, good recall on your part.

He also had this to say on the 24th, his overall philosophy is to focus on the task at hand because otherwise it will be irrelevant what happens with the Jets, Dolphins and Ravens.

On not controlling their playoff destiny:
Our attitude for this game is the same as it is for any other game and that is to try to prepare well and go in there on Sunday and play the best that we can. That's our approach to every game and we will try to do that. We will do the best we can at that and then whatever else happens, happens.

That is pretty much standard operating procedure for NFL coaches in this type of situation.

Agreed, Mangina will dictate this....

Teams playing for spoiler play as hard as teams playing for a spot, imo.

jags looked pretty good against the Colts, and they have had 10 days to get ready for the ratbirds. I think they have a real good chance to pull an upset.

I don't think the Jets will lay down either way, but I think the Jags are playing hard enough to keep it close in Baltimore. So even if that WAS a concern, if the Jets look up at the scoreboard during a TV timeout and see

Bal 10
Jax 6

midway through the second quarter, they have every incentive to keep playing.

But I'm still not convinced that score, even if it's 41-0 Jax, will ever see the light of the Meadowlands day while the Jets-Phins game is still playing.
