    Re: MANGINI's ONSIDE KICK

    While I was watching the Jets game, the onside kick early in the 4th quarter definitely caught me by surprise. A lot of people seemed to have a problem with it, including at first, myself. I thought Mangini had simply thrown the game away. But I read an article that actually explained the percentages behind the call. It honestly made me change my mind, I know that it didnt work this time around but I don't think it was a terrible call. I mean, had it worked, I would have been ecstatic. Here's the article link:http://www.protrade.com/content/DisplayArt...3b-8d6f968a61b6Let me know what you think after reading this, it certainly changed my mind.

And it was the right call. Our offense was doing nothing and needed a spark, which the onside would have given them, And the Jets did a similar onside kick in their Indianapolis game right after a TD Drive in the second Quarter which we recovered and Mangini was considered to be a genius at the Time. They're only criticizing it because it didn't work out and hindsight is always 20/20.

    i agree with that, in that i love the aggressiveness...the only problem i have is that we had ALL the momentum after halftime. it really killed everything. but i love the agresion, and the confidence
