The NY Daily News this week had an interesting stat about Eric Mangini:

In Mangini’s tenure, the Jets have faced 12 opponents with winning records, prevailing only three times. They upset the Patriots (6-2) in 2006, stunned the Steelers (7-2) in 2007 and beat the Cardinals (2-1) last month, although the latter hardly ranks in the same category as the first two.

The first two came after bye weeks, a considerable advantage in terms of mental and physical preparation. There will be no rest this week for the Jets, who face the Bills (5-2) on the road.

Will the Jets beat the Bills on Sunday? They’d bloody well better if they want to be taken seriously for the rest of 2008.
