They're better than I thought they would be--that's as far as I will go for now. <BR/><BR/>It is worth mentioning that the other part of my prediction--that if Pennington stayed healthy he would perform as well as Favre individually--has panned out. Pennington and Rodgers are both playing very well.David Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444347475303187373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-1731024753681593322008-11-16T13:11:00.000-05:002008-11-16T13:11:00.000-05:00anymous reggietrue dat youre right most of the tim...anymous reggie<BR/><BR/>true dat youre right most of the time you predict stuff clevland beating detriot in 07 boston over clevland and detriot in playoffs last year lakers werent mentally tough most of what you say is true like 90 percent of your predictions are right in any sport but this one was wrong im just messing with you why cant they win tweleve games? you right ryan grant been bad this year looking at his numbers. the injuries played a factor brady maroney everyone but thats football jets are playing well lest see how they finish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-40715210003373112822008-11-15T03:15:00.000-05:002008-11-15T03:15:00.000-05:00Reggie:No, I think that the Jets will win more tha...Reggie:<BR/><BR/>No, I think that the Jets will win more than eight games. There is no way that they are winning 12. <BR/><BR/>The real difference for the Jets has been the running game, the defense and the free agents but Favre has done his part. That said, Pennington is playing just as well in Miami and Rodgers is playing well for G.B., where the problem is not the passing game but rather the declining performance of the defense and the running game. <BR/><BR/>Don't forget that the Jets were 10-6 two years ago when Pennington was healthy. <BR/><BR/>It also goes without saying--but I'm going to say it anyway--that the Jets have benefited from the injuries that cost the Patriots the services of Brady, Thomas, Harrison and Maroney.<BR/><BR/>Still, all things considered I must admit that I did not think that the Jets would be in first place at this stage. We'll see if they are still there at the end of the season.David Friedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444347475303187373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812670776373470303.post-18645243501597232382008-11-14T23:53:00.000-05:002008-11-14T23:53:00.000-05:00anymous reggiedavid are they still going 8-8 lol. ...anymous reggie<BR/><BR/>david are they still going 8-8 lol. i said 12 wins which is still in play def 10 wins you said jets were 8-8 team i said favre makes a diffrence with a better defense and some key free agents from last season and i was right 10 weeks in green bay would be contenders with favre not 4-5 like they are now and probably not playoff team, brett favre is the TRUTH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
