Jets got a lucky free pass into the Playoffs!

First, Indy lays down for them and next week, Cinci has nothing to play for at NY. What looked like two tough games to end the season, turned out to be a blessing as those two good teams ended up having nothing to play for. Cinci will probably sit Palmer and many others. Another Exhibition Game.

It would have been tougher for the Jets if they had the Browns or Panthers or even Tamp Bay! Not to mention if they had games left with other Wild Card contenders.

But I don't think the NFL can do anything about this late season laying down and resting players. How could you enforce it?

If all the 8 win teams win out, who gets to go to the playoffs?

[widestrides]

Jets and Baltimore. And Jets as the #5 seed will go to Cinci and Baltimore as the #6 seed will go to New England.

It's a travesty that the Jets get handed a playoff spot by finishing their season against two teams that lay down.

But if Cinci plays to win, then they would get Pittsburgh or Baltimore instead of the Jets. Who would you rather play?!

If I was the other team, I'd rather play Jets over Baltimore or Pitt, lol. So I'd definitely throw in the towel... -_-
