And that's a win-win strategy for Ryan. If the Pats win then it's 'hey, I told you they were better', but if the Jets win then it's 'hey, I told you we would win'. In fact if I am not mistaken Rex flip flopped in a similar manner before the first Pats - Jets game.

Jets coach Rex Ryan: 'The Patriots are still the favorites' - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com

What happened to - I didn't come here to kiss his rings? LOL. Humility doesn't really suit Ryan. If he's trying to change his stripes and appear to be less of a blowhard, it's not working. Dude just toot your own horn. I know you want to. After all, your team made it deeper into the playoffs than the Pats. Who abducted the real Rex Ryan or maybe his publicist put him up to this??

At 48 and counting, Rex's teams haven't won a damn thing in his tenure as a DC or a HC. As a football fan I don't find the personality based, incessant, media driven ballwashing he receives all that entertaining. Particularly when it's often at my teams or HC's expense...when as a HC all he's shown me is he can get that legendary cluster*** of an organization he works for to the conference championship provided everyone they're matched up against decides to lay down or roll over...

Agreed 100%, except for the part about "Rex's shenenigans are entertaining as long as he's not coaching my team."
I dont' think he is entertaining at all, even when he is coaching elsewhere.
What WILL be entertaining is the media horde descending on him when the whole thing collapses in a heap....
