The time is now for coach Eric Mangini to get his team prepared and focused on winning the next 3 games.\u00a0 The time is now to stop playing like pretenders, show up and earn your paychecks.\u00a0 You think you are a big time team? Play like one.\u00a0 You think you are a legitimate playoff team? Play like one. You want some respect in the NFL? Earn it.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of ways the Jets can make the playoffs but for me it is either win the next 3 games or go home.\u00a0 This should not be too much to ask as the Jets are playing 2 teams that are struggling in the Bills and Seahawks and finish up with the Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p>If coach Eric Mangini and crew cannot accomplish this task, then changes need to be made starting with the coaching staff.\u00a0 If 2008 becomes a lost season for Gang Green with all of the offseason moves and money spent on personnel, then it is time to find a new leader on the sidelines.\u00a0 Enough is enough.\u00a0 Coach Mangini you force fed your systems and philosophies to this organization; it is time to prove they can win in this league.\u00a0 You have had built in excuses in the past from getting the right players to fit the system, to injuries, to not having the right quarterback. This is your team, with your players, and your systems, either win out or get out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Parting Shots:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 How long until the boo birds come out this Sunday at the Meadowlands?\u00a0 My bet is the first time the Jets punt from the opponent\u2019s 38-yard line.<br \/>\n\u2022 Did anyone else get the feeling that once you paid for your playoff tickets, the Jets would fall apart?<br \/>\n\u2022 Does Kerry Rhodes still play for the Jets?
