'We want to play them'

















Rex Ryan seems to be rounding into playoff form. After a few weeks of looking despondent as his team lost to the Pats (for the second time) and then got Tebow-ned in Denver, the big guy is feeling feisty again. I guess a couple of very shaky wins over a couple of very shaky teams will do that.

In an interview with Mike Lupica of the NY Daily News, Ryan ignored the fact that the 7-5 Jets have no room for error to get back into the playoffs and ignored the fact that they haven't played a sound football game in weeks. He also ignored the fact that his quarterback is regressing at an alarming pace and that his "run it down their throats" style doesn't work if you can't actually run the ball.

Lupica asked Mt. Ryan about all those issues. Finally, as it always does with Ryan and the Jets, the topic came around to the Patriots. That's the 9-3 about to win another AFC East title Patriots.

Ryan had this to say...

"I feel like we're gonna play them again and I'm excited about that. We WANT to play them. No question we want to play them."

The only way the Jets can play the Pats again is to win their last four games, go on the road and win a playoff game (maybe two), and then get on the Fung Wah and head to Boston.

See you in January Big Fella. Maybe.
