I read through the whole article last night and even though it would hurt a lot, SB 42 is absolute rock bottom (after plunging from atop Mount Everest). Losing a second-round matchup to the Jets would just be excruciatingly annoying.

No way. I didnt watch sports for 2 months after that. They were 1 minute from being best ever.

That's not accurate in the least. This team is young and improving, rebuilding, reloading. We will likely be better next year! Losing today would hurt a lot. It's the Jets. But we will be back.

After losing to the Giants there was also the devastating thought that we would likely never be in THAT situation again, 18-0, chasing perfection.

A loss today would hurt. It would be disappointing an embarrassing.

For those of us who remember, with the exception of Game 6, Nothing, Nothing comes close to SB 42.

I agree with this....

After all the smack talk, emotion, the Boston/NY THING and the total dis-likeability of the entire Jets organization...(Seriously...Name ONE guy you like on that team.....I respect Revis....But I don't like him)...it would be a VERY DEPRESSING off-season.

Nothing could be worse than the helmet catch game.

Totally agree. Losing today would be worse. We'd have to endure at least one more week of bloviation.

The SB loss was earned by the Patriots coaches and players. Poorly prepared for the Giants up the middle blitzkreig and slow to adjust. The Giants were well prepared, smart game plan and executed on the field. Pats put themselves in a position where misplays (missed INT, failure to take down Eli...) and a fluke catch could screw the pooch. Lost to the better team that day.

Unlike the class Giants org, the Jets epitomize everything wrong, starting at the top and drooling down all over the entire misbegotten enterprise. Losing today would be wimping out to the loudmouth bully. Time to punch out his lights.

Not for me. I didn't expect much going into this season because of all the young players. I will be very excited about next season no matter what given the players we will be picking up in the draft and coming back from injury. I'm already excited about how good they can be next year.

The article is pretty much worthless, playing off the sensationalist hype of the moment rather than looking at the big picture. For instance, the Jets were already supposed to have past the pats and yet here we are yet again. Why don't they win the division before we go ahead and declare them taking over the division. Because even if they do happen to beat the pats today I highly doubt they are good enough to win a superbowl (although stranger things have happened).

No way. Nothing could ever be worse than that game. The only thing that could make it worse is if we went 18-0 again then lost to the Jets in the Superbowl and since that will never happen this game would have to settle somewhere in the top 10. But 42 will be the worst game and one of the worst days of my life
