Hearing the same excuse for over 40 years now. If this was best medicine the Jets would be a dynasty by now. Fact is when your team was playing hot and had a must win game which they should have easily won non of the season of almost making the playoffs matters. I remember under Parcells the Jets almost making it to the super bowl say it's a learning process that next year would be their year. That year came and Vinny was carted off the field. When you have the opportunity you take it because you don't know what will happen the next year. Next year Fitz or Marshall could blow their knee out the defense could lose half the starters to injury. In the NFL the future is now not next year. Amen bro.

I like the idea of setting up the thought that 10 wins simply isn't good enough. It didn't get the Jets to the playoffs this year so our coaches, players, etc. understand that you can't simply rest on past accomplishments. You have to close out strong and you need to look back and recognize that some losses which may have felt meaningless at the time....Oakland, Houston, Philadelphia...each turned out to be the difference between a playoff season and a sofa season. In a way, the Arizona Cardinals have learned this as well. The Cardinals had 11 wins last year and it didn't win them the division. They lost a road playoff game to Carolina and learned that even if you've accomplished a lot it may not be enough to get you where you want to be (home field advantage, Bye week in the playoffs, etc.) As we all know now, some early playoff appearances by Rex built a sense of false confidence in the team. They thought they were better than they really were. We're now in an opposite kind of situation and, even though it's painful, it might be best for the team in the long run. No matter how good of a season it was the Jets know they weren't a playoff team and realize just how important every September and October is. Excellent point. Bowles went through this in Az. He will know how to turn it in his favor for the long term.
