I know alot of us like to bash the media. So here is a fun romp through the 2006 NFL season predictions! First up is everyones favorite Pats humper, Peter King: 4-12...man so close Peter...so close!:up: FYI..this one made me laugh: Next up, Len Pastabelly! Yep, you got it Len. Mangini looks like Al Davis now.:lol: Just for giggles, how about Miami? Feel free to add some of your finds.
HAHAHAHA Man these guys were way off. Miami 1st hahaha yea 1st in losses if thats what these morons mean.
They simply guess...which is why it's comical that we get so mad. Most of these guys are fans, like you and I, that have the talent to write. Given the internet, NFL network, etc, they really are on a level ground with most of us in terms of information. I love this thread..keep it coming.

Yeah, they were way off, but no more so than a lot of the "experts" that post here. I know there were a couple of folks who actually had the nerve to predict a playoff appearance this year, but for the most part, most of us thought an 8-8 season would be as good as it gets. I personally thought 6-7 wins tops. It feels great to be wrong.
Pulled out my Sunday Star Ledger Sports Special from 9/10/06 no link, but you will have to trust me... "From Steve Politi ABC list for 2006 C is for Chad Pennington and it doesn't matter which team you like you should be rooting for this guy to complete a successful comeback. And with no running game, no breakout receivers, and the Jets always playing from behind, our definition of "success" is certainly at a lower level than his. H is for Herman Edwards the new coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and the ex coach of the Jets Herm will miss the playoffs for the second straight year but it's doubtful Jets fans will find much consolation considering the misery in store for them. I is for interns and yes mom and dad the job doesn't pay much, but someday I'll be the league commissioner! It actually happened, Roger Goodell former Jets intern now runs the whole league. Eric Mangini, meanwhile use to work a photo copier in Clevelenad. Now the new coach of the Jets requires his players to use a shredder for old game plans. I love this country. U is for ugly Or another word for the Jets final record. Like 3-13 ugly. Y is for youth and out of all of the young players on the Jets and Giants Nick Mangold will have the best season. It wasn't a sexy pick, but it was a smart one and the Jets have solidified that spot for years with the former Ohio State star. From Paul Needell From One To Done in the AFC #15 Jets No playmakers on offense, no pass rushers on defense. Oh, but at least Coach Mangini comes from good stock, right? Just remember Belichick and Parcells were disasters in their rookie season as head coaches. If Pennington makes it through the season unharmed, consider 2006 a success. Wacky Stat, the Jets are entering their 47th season, their opening game is on the road for the 35th time. Who'd they tick off?" Oh well, guess there was not much hope for the Jets
Looks like everyone on this board is a bunch of idiots too. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=10764&highlight=2006+jets+record

Say what? Most of the people in that thread were looking for 7 to 9 wins, when the "published professional pundits" largely said the Jets would have the 2007 number one draft pick. I was looking for 6 to 8 wins, but after we went 2-2, thought a bit better was possible. That's a far reach from the general "expert" consensus that we would be the worst team in the NFL.
I just dug up some fun stuff. Let's just say the following predictions were made by fans of a seafaring mammal ... Could this be the RobA Miami? And how could I forget Dr. Z? Super Bowl XLI
Never called anyone an idiot. 2 things here: 1) None of us get paid to write this crap 2) Rubbing someones fat nose in it when they are way wrong is the American way.:up:
For the record, I predicted 6 wins. I thought we'd be playing Bollyball because Chad wouldn't be able to come back. TBTF
