As usual, Dan Leberfeld just doesn't get it. If you want to sit there and beat your chest because the New York Jets went down to Tennessee and beat a team that was trying to figure out how they could give a game away by starting a quarterback who showed up last week, and then playing a quarterback who isn't ready to play in the NFL...well, you can, but for me, I'm smarter than that. Last year, when the Giants went down to Philly, they picked up a big, big, big, big win over a team that was wearing Philadelphia jerseys, but weren't really the Philadelphia Eagles. Anytime you play and beat the Eagles and Donovan McNabb isn't in the line-up, I'm not going to pound my chest. You can, Dan. But the players, they know the real deal.
