For the first time since the ridiculous charade of a press conference that followed the end of the team’s season we heard directly from the Jets’ brass yesterday, with Rex Ryan, Mike Tannenbaum and Tony Sparano participating in conference calls to introduce the team’s new Offensive Coordinator.

Two plays in the end were what came between the dysfunctional 2011 New York Jets and a playoff berth. The first was Mark Sanchez throwing a disastrous third pick in the red zone, the second a failed two point conversion attempt by the Texans against Tennessee. If those two simple plays go differently we’re talking about a trip to Houston and almost certainly a return to Foxboro in mid-January.
