It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Well they already answered #4 last week.Not that is is real success, but two AFCCG games in a row. Although they are lucky to avoid a first place schedule, let's see how they deal with the following issues.
1. Low Draft Position
2. High Expectations to Win (real ones, not Rex's fantasy world)
2a. Playing the favorite role
3. Inflated free agency values
4. Coming back from a huge defeat
These are issues the Patriots have dealt with since 2001. Face it, Jets fans, this team will not be the same. Any team can get hot for a year or two, but all of these issues will catch up with this team. Guys like Edwards and Holmes are going to want to break the bank now that they've had some success with the Jets.
Rex Ryan is no longer the lovable mad scientist with the big mouth. Now he's expected to win every year, and he's quickly going to be mentioned with Marty Schottenheimer with the swarming NY media.
Let's see how your organization handles the insane pressures of being a year-to-year contender. My guess is this team falls to mediocrity by this time next year.
Well they already answered #4 last week.
Did anyone see Bart Scott at today's game?
The Jets have lost confidence in Kyle Wilson, a first-round pick in 2010. Expected to be the team's nickel back, Wilson has dropped far down the depth chart and didn't record a single statistic in the divisional-round win over the Patriots despite the Jets playing in multiple formations with six or seven defensive backs. Wilson had trouble early grasping Rex Ryan's schemes and struggled in man-to-man coverage, which is required to play cornerback in this defense.
Jets notable FAs:
Shaun Ellis
Brodney Pool
Tony Richardson
Braylon Edwards
David Harris
Nick Folk
Antonio Cromartie
Santonio Holmes
Eric Smith
Brad Smith ]
Steve Weatherford

The keys for the Jets are the same as they're for New England this off-season. A lot of emphasis will be placed on the 2011 draft and free agency signings and/or re-signings.
If I'm the Jets, the in house priorities are to resign Santonio Holmes and David Harris.
Possibly free agent targets include Dashon Goldson, Tamba Hali and Champ Bailey (unless Kyle Wilson emerges in training camp). Perhaps, they try to sign Phil Dawson to replace Nick Folk.
I'm guessing that they're stuck with veterans Jason Taylor and LaDainian Tomlinson. They each have one year left.
Mark Sanchez should go back to being a game manager, and the Jets must rediscover Shonn Greene, Dustin Keller and Jerricho Cotchery and rely on them more. And Joe McKnight needs to surpass Tomlinson on the depth chart.
I don't think the Pats and Jets are in the same position for the offseason.
First, the Pats don't have nearly as many free agents they need to resign or replace. The Pats have two or three starters (Mankins, Light, Gerrard Warren). The Jets have a half dozen (Holmes, Edwards, Ellis, Cromartie, Harris, and Richardson). The Jets also have a lot more free agents in volume.
Second, the Pats have six selections in the first three rounds, the Jets have two. The Pats can miss on several picks and still have more impact rookies in these rounds than the Jets have picks.
I don't know if the Jets can afford to make a big splash in free agency after the contracts they wrote last year that hit this year, the number of free agents they will need to resign for good money (Holmes, Edwards, and Harris), and the potential new CBA that will actually shrink the growth of the cap. I expect Tamba Hali to get franchised, but if he isn't I don't think the Jets will be able to afford him.

Jets are chasing Hali?
