The Cast Changes, but You Know the Ending

Sweet NY Times article. Brett and Eric and co. are in shark infested waters and they're bleeding after tonight...

Best bits:

If one play typified the game, it came when Patriots linebacker Adalius Thomas chased down Favre, grabbed his new jersey and spun him toward the end zone like a bully torturing the new kid. Favre lost 20 yards on the sack.

Welcome to the rivalry, if a series in which the Patriots have won 13 of the last 15 meetings still qualifies as such.

With five minutes remaining, the Jets took over, after Gostkowski’s last field goal, trailing, 19-10. New players, new expectations, same outcome. Even with Favre at quarterback, Jets fans headed toward the exits.

They had seen this movie too many times before.

O well.

Its New York so what do you expect? I do agree that fingers should be pointed at some people in New York. Those people are:

The GM and Owners
Eric Mangini
Brett Favre

GM---from year to year there is no set plan on what type of team they want to commit too.
Eric M---because now he has the talent and the weapons and the CHANCE to beat a severely wounded Pats team that was on the road with a very inexperienced QB at the helm. And bumbled it.
Favre---For not learning the playbook and thinking he can still just go be Brett, he's beginning to live in his own fantasy that no matter where you plug Brett, Brett will succeed. He may or may not refer to himself in the third person.
