Mangina the Rat Nearly Blows a Gimme Game
 

No mention of the fact that Mangina tries to get too cute going for 2 and nearly outcoaches himself to a loss.

Let's hope he tries some other "think too much" wannabe genius stunt Sunday.

Did you watch the game? Nugent was injured badly enough that they had Kellen Clemens on the sideline practicing kicks. They went for it on a long 4th down which resulted in the TD and then went for it on two because they had no one on the roster who could kick a FG after Nugent went down.

Oh crap, my bad...I forgot the place kicker was down.

Let this turd sink.

OK, let's rip him for not having a contingency backup place kicker.

Fair enough, we can rip him for that. :D

Jets signed FA Jay Feely he will be doing the kicking Sunday for the Jets.

lol great line!

Re: Mangina the Rat Nearly Blows a Gimme Game
 

All you can say to that is... condolences. Short term deal, right?

=========================================

MY guess is that Mangini won't be going for any 50 yard field goals, lol.

I haven't heard the terms of his contract, but I am guessing a 1 year deal.

Feely was 23 of 25 with the fish last year, not bad, plus he use to play for the Gints so he knows Giants stadium.

The thing is that if the Jets didn't go for it on that fourth down, the game would have most likely gone into overtime. The game ended on an INT because Pennington had to throw into coverage the endzone on 3rd and 10 on the Jets' 18 with 10 seconds left because the Dolphins were down by 6. If the Jets kicked the field goal on that fourth down where they scored a TD (which they would have), the Dolphins would have only been down by three. The Dolphins would have settled on a field goal and going into overtime in that situation especially with a young team.

Granted if that scenario played out like it did, no one would be questioning Mangini about going for it on fourth down or a two point conversion.
