I think he is definitely no longer a beloved wolverine by the mgoblog nation, maybe I am wrong.  But I know I have grown tired of his antics, especially the "Lloyd Carr's Michigan" stuff.  How does everyone else feel?

of course I'm biased because his heroics against MSU were the first taste of Michigan football that I had (my freshman year at UM) and I'm a Jets fan.

I'm not a fan of his "Lloyd Carr's University of Michigan", but I believe that was taped before the season by NBC and they've reused it every week on SNF.  Moreover, even our beloved Tom Brady was critical of RR at one point.  

Plus, doesn't he continue to give back to UM (i.e. through the #1 jersey scholarship fund, he organized some charity event for Mott Hospital IIRC last year)

Personally I've impressed by the progress Braylon has made.  I recall when he used to get benched for the first quarters of games due to team rule infractions / fighting with Carr.  Also that backflip out of the Victory formation that set Carr off.  

To see Braylon supporting Motts and paying tribute to Carr, personally I'm just happy that in his four years here Braylon went from fighting with Carr to supporting him and his causes (Carr after all has always been a huge booster of Motts).  

Braylon's off the field conduct is far from perfect, but I'm not about to claim we should break ties with him.  He improved with Carr, he can improve in other areas.

I'm just sick of him acting like his shit doesn't stink when he is STILL constantly getting in trouble.  DUI's, arrested for fighting, yada yada acts like and idiot in general.  I love that he gives back to the university and Mott, I just wish he wasn't such a douche about stuff.

Well my only hope is the statistic they put on the screen at the beginning of half time. The last time the Patriots were held without a TD in the first half, they came out and scored 35 in the second half. Hopefully the Hooded Houdini can adjust.

Sanchez is a dink. This just shows you how effective the Jets D can be.

when did i ever guarantee a win for the Jets next week?  You on the other hand said the Steelers would have an automatic ticket to the Superbowl, which is why I pointed out that the Jets have already beaten the Steelers at Heinz Field, and thus next week's game is very winnable for New York.

Because the snarkooze coming out of your "totally makes sense...we beat them...so on..." You see playing in Heinz stadium and winning again with an offense that depends on the running game against the top rushing defense in the playoffs as "very winable."

You're once again missing the point and you fail to address the original post that you made.  

You see a Steelers team that now has "an automatic ticket" to beat a Jets team that has defeated them in Heinz Field and has shut down arguably the 2 best quarterbacks in the NFL.  The way the Jets defense is playing, they have a shot to beat anyone in the league.

Spread the field and get an extra second. Can't depend on this mediocre D to keep carrying you. Have to start scoring NOW. They don't give a crap if you're running it anyway.
