I had no idea how good the Bills are this year. I looked at their 0-3 record, their 24 points (that's 24 total points in three games) and their last-place defense and figured the Jets would have an easy time of it this weekend. But the Jets set me straight, ballyhoo-ing the beleaguered Bills to no end.
Here's a glimpse of what the locker room was like when we were there today talking about those Super Bowl-bound Bills.
I guess a team's got to say the things the Jets said. And it's a move straight from the Belichick Field Manual. But c'mon. The Bills stink. And when the Jets say they are a good team, it just comes off as covering their own backsides so that if they lose on Sunday they can come back and say "I told you they were good."
How refreshing would it be if somebody on the Jets just came out and said, "Man, if we can't beat these guys, we have no business in this league."

Tom, Please see my comments and suggestion regarding your blog entry titled "3 or 4 more 3-4 thoughts" below.
If things don't begin to turn around soon on Defense, many of us will begin to lose faith in Mangini -- it's that serious since this is supposed to be his forte. Thanks.
The Jet D can make the Bills look like Super bowl contenders. Mangini should be worried.Through the years Jet teams have always played down to the level of their opponents.
