PLAYERS: Thomas Jones
Jet's running back Thomas Jones stated in an interview Tuesday morning that "We're a team and we win together … but at the same time, you can't turn the ball over and expect to win," and "The other day, the three interceptions really hurt us. I mean, that's just reality, If I were to sit here and say, 'Oh, man, it's OK,' that's not reality. … I don't like it, I know everybody else on the team doesn't like it." He also said that Brett jeopardized the whole team because of his mistakes and should have been benched. "To me, that's not fair to everybody else. You're not the only one on the team. So when you get to the wire and somebody is just giving the game up, I mean, it's just not [fair]." Despite owner Woody Johnson's backings, other teammates also came down on Favre. Kerry Rhodes said that when you play quarterback, you get a lot of the blame, and "If he's dedicated and he wants to come back and do this, and do it the right way … and be here when we're here in training camp and the minicamps and working out with us … then I'm fine with it, But don't come back if it's going to be half-hearted or he doesn't want to put the time in with us." An Anoynomus Jets veteran claimed that Favre was very distant from the team all year, and said that "There was a lot of resentment in the room about him. He never socialized with us, never went to dinner with anyone."

    Jones will never get a super bowl ring

    Favre should have stayed retired

    The entire Jets team deserves the blame for not making playoffs. Jets lost 4 of their last 5 games, including loses to 49'ers, Broncos and Seahawks.
