I think it's actually a good move. You have to remember, the Jets suck, and New Yorkers are awful fans. They turned on this team pretty quickly last year, so something like this may get them on your side, for a bit at least.
And with all their chest thumping, etc. if they lose to the Mayo-less pats this weekend, those fans are GONE....GONE...GONE..... How fast will those same fans turn after all this talk and nothing to back it up with????
Talk about putting pressure on your own organization.......
Whatever happens for the fledgling Jets franchise, it will either be a spectacular success or a devastating debacle.
For the Patriots? The sun will rise, the sun will set and they will have lunch(in the immortal words of Lou Gorman). Whatever happens on Sunday - - they've been there before - - whether it is a "You ain't us and never will be us" victory or a "see you in Foxboro later in the year" defeat (see how the 2003 year turned out respectively for the Buffalo Bills and the Patriots after the 31-0 Bill victory in week 1 - -the Pats have been there and they know how to move on - - the Jets have no roadmap for it).
Either way, Monday morning September 20th, win or lose, no matter what the standings say after week #2, the Patriots will STILL be in better position for the season than the Jets.
I LOVE the way this chessboard is set up.
