How long does Brien have?

[Mr. Cynical]

How many days do you think it will take before Brien is released?

I say given the New York media's pressure, he will be gone on Tuesday.

[Michael82]

I think he stays, unless the Jets can find someone else that is better. There isn't much out there this offseason.

They are making a noose in NY

Brien will still be kicking or should I say attempting field goals for the Jets next year. Everyone knows how hard it is to kick field goals at Heinz Field. I think the longest ever is like 47.

[Dr. Lecter]

Why the Jets did not try to get closer, I'll never know. Bad, gutless coaching.

Who cares, they are going home. Isn't that the important thing?

Remember the Bills-Vikings game in '02? Remember how we had the chance at the comeback win, the missed extra points? Remember who was kicking for the Vikes at the time? Remember who was fired after the game?

Yep, Doug Brien. Ever since then I've thought he was a crappy kicker. He's proven me right over and over...

He still had a great year last year and a good one this year.

Did anybody see Wilkens 55 yd yesterday? That was damn good! 2nd longest I think they said. Too bad it didn't help!

2nd longest in playoff history...20 ZBs to the first poster can name me the details on the longest

Christie had a 59-yarder in one of the Dallas Super Bowls. (I think the 1st)

I'm trying to remember more. Was it the end of the 1st half?

Vinatieri, Feeley, and Tynes are all UFA.

TYNES STINKS!

Any coach or organization that makes personell issues based on knee-jerk emotions after a loss deserves the first pick of the draft year after yrear after year.

If Brien is under contract and th cap figure isn't large (he's a kicker so it can't be that much) then you draft and /or see who's out there in FAcy. If you get a comperable vet then you release him- or hold a competition in camp.

If you cut the guy now all you do is raise the price on whomever you bring in. A vet kicker's agent could squeeze more out of the Jets since they won't have anyone to fall back on.
