Nobody said it couldn’t be done.\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone just assumed it wouldn’t be done.\u00c2\u00a0 Some how Eric Mangini managed to get his players to tune everything else out and just believe.\u00c2\u00a0 The mainstream media was busy explaining to us the various reasons why it wouldn’t work.\u00c2\u00a0 The players were being worked too hard, Mangini was too young.\u00c2\u00a0 Mangini knew the truth though.\u00c2\u00a0 He knew that he is being graded on the field.\u00c2\u00a0 Wins and losses, that is all that matters.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, Mangini’s Jets beat the Raiders to clinch a playoff spot.\u00c2\u00a0 The gameplan was a simple one, stay conservative and let the Raiders implode.\u00c2\u00a0 The Jets did not do much on offense, they didn’t have to.\u00c2\u00a0 Pennington threw for 157 yards and as a team the Jets ran 37 times for 117 yards.\u00c2\u00a0 This was largely by design though as the struggling Raiders offense hardly put up a fight.\u00c2\u00a0 The defense was led by Victor Hobson (9 tackles) and Shaun Ellis (7 tackles).\u00c2\u00a0 Kerry Rhodes and Eric Barton each had a sack.\u00c2\u00a0 Mike Nugent was perfect on field goals (3 for 3).<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for details on who the Jets play and when.\u00c2\u00a0 As soon as it is known, JetNation.com will have the info.\u00c2\u00a0 Discuss this and more in our forums<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
