    Romes just said it best.. The Bills road to the playoffs got tougher.. The Jets are better with Favre than Pennington, and nobody can deny that.
    Sandlot does not work if the rest of the offense is not sandlot too.

    He was better last year because the Pack kept him under control.

    He very well might help the Jets. But adding 4 or 5 wins to their total already is nuts. We don't even know what kind of shape he is in.

    They have a better QB in Favre than Pennington, but whether or not the team is better is still a question.

    Selfishly, I was dying to see Favre face GB.

    But although it may end up hurting Buffalo's chances in the division, I cant wait to watch us play him, twice.

    Cutting Pennington will be interesting.

    He is very well liked by his teammates.

    This is definitely an upgrade for them, but Favre isn't god. Remember the last time we played him and balls were bouncing off his face and he threw interceptions in the endzone? Last year was the right mix of very good defense and a great running game. We'll see what happens this year. It will be very interesting to see him vs. the Patsies.

    Sucks but Favre just doesn't have the weapons he had in Green Bay.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

    You know, if Favre is washed up or not, I'm very envious of the Jets and their fans. At least a bad team is making some sort of attempt to make the team better NOW, instead of letting their best player hold out of camp and two big name players go into the last year of their contracts without any type of public progress being made on resigning them.

    I know that the draft and smart FA signings are the right way to "rebuild," but every once in a while you have to roll the dice and make some waves and make a trade like this. The Bills should have come into this year as the most improved team in the AFC East, but with the Fins getting Parcells as the GM and now the Jets getting Favre, the Bills may have to take the back seat yet again and fly far under the radar. Forget about ever hearing Bills news on ****Center, I mean SportsCenter.

    For those who are afraid of Favre...recall this.

    Ko Simpson INT Favre in the endzone...sealing the Bills victory...with an even weaker team than we have now.

    Bledsoe ring a bell? We had a ****ing PARADE for when we signed him. We do take our chances, we just **** them up. It remains to be seen how good Favre will make the Jets. Definitely makes this season even MORE interesting and this move directly effects the Bills. The Jets are no longer an easy 2 wins. The Bills better hope all these additions work because they're going to need to just to stay ahead of the curve.

    Re: BREAKING NEWS: Favre traded to Jets

    His track record alone will revitalize and bring energy to that team..

    Whether the Jets are better or not will be seen on the field; but HOLY **** did this team "go for it" this offseason.

    Kris Jenkins.. Calvin Pace.. Alan Faneca.. Damien Woody.. and now Favre. WOW-- We can say whatever we want about Favre, but if you're a Jets fan right now, you are PUMPED.

    You're right, I am a coward! I haven't any courage at all. I even scare myself.

    You can't overlook that TD and company made some awful moves over their years. Drew Bledsoe was a total desperation move, TD couldn't live with AVP being the starting QB going into the year. Comparing Drew to Favre is comparing a Big Mac to a T-Bone Steak.

    I LOVE the way Marv and now the current regime has gone about improving the team. But, it has been a pretty conservative route. This is the type of move that might make the Jets, but giving up a mid round draft choice that might turn into a higher pick for a living legend QB is a great chance to take.

    I remember TD doing a lot of big free agent signings....that got us far.

    Didn't the Jets draft a TE in the first round this year too? Bubba Franks is a TE there and a former Packer as well.

    We gave up a first rounder for Drew.

    This was a no-brainer for the Jets. He's worth a mid round pick, from my understanding could elevate depending on how the jets do.

    Obviously, if the Jets make the playoffs, its worth a high pick, even a first. The objective of football is to make the playoffs.
