And here I thought this thread was supposed to be a lighthearted joking kind of thread.
It was - - until post #38!

No. They took a DIVE the last week of the season.
They "missed out" on the West Coast in the few weeks before the end of the season.
That's a playoff "run" where the runner who is in the lead at Cleveland Circle takes a wrong turn, gives up the lead and then quits before reaching Hereford Street.
Did the Patriots make a run for the playoffs? Did the Dolphins? I ask because all 3 teams were still alive for the playoffs going into the final week.
I do love watching people redefining terms. That's always fun.
I guess it's my mistake though, and we should just ignore reality when it comes to falsely attacking people who don't play for the Patriots or guzzle the Patriots Kool Aid by the gallon. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
Last five weeks of 2008 season:
Dolphins: 5-0
Patriots: 4-1
NYJets: 1-4 (includes incredibly lucky win at home against Bufallo Bills when JP Losman decided to exhume Joe Pisarcik).
Any questions?

Sure, I've got two...
1.) Which team from that group was not still alive for the playoffs at the start of week 17?
2.) What part of "8-3 before Favre got hurt" is somehow undercut by your argument here?

Which two teams made a "run for the playoffs" down the stretch and which one didn't?
That's the point you were just making.
You tell me that one again, Deus?
I'm sorry, who wrote "Whether people like it or not, the Jets did make a playoff run. They missed out on the last week of the season."??????
Computer says "NO"
The fact that the last couple of years, this has been a pattern from Favre: Playing well at the beginning of the year, and then a severe drop off.

Yeah, I even tried bring Nostradamus into the discussion, to no avail....
Obviously humour is above some folk's paygrade around here
The Pats have a very young secondary. What better way is there to have them boost their confidence than letting the gunslinger just have fun running the scout team. With all the picks he'll throw to Butler, Wheatley, Chung, etc. it will positively impact the team on Sunday.
Hold on, you're saying 2007, where Favre threw 6 TDs, and 7INTs in the last 5 weeks of the season (including games against 3 of the worst defenses in the NFL), is an example of how he doesn't break down at the end of the year?
No, you must be right. Passer ratings of
115.4
126.8
128.2
8.9 (partial game due to injury)
115.5
80.6
40.2
143.8
In the second half of the season followed by 137.6 in the team's first playoff game is proof of a collapse of epic proportions. It's reminiscent of the '78 Red Sox and the 1995 Angels.
Sheesh
First 11 Games Last 5 Games
2008: 20TD,13INT,70% Cmp 2TD, 9 INT, 59%
2007: 22TD,8INT,68% Cmp 6TD, 7INT, 59%
2006: 14TD,10INT,57% Cmp 4TD, 8 INT, 54%
2005: 19TD,19INT, 63% Cmp 1TD, 10 INT, 55%
didn't the jets get beat by oakland earlier in the year?
