Jets won battle for Darrelle Revis, but did Patriots win the war?

[FTBS]

The irony is that Macacagnan just received a GM award for signing Revis to exorbitant amount of money and not making the playoffs.

Not his fault Fitzpatrick remembered that he was Fitzpatrick in week 17 .

 

[FTBS]

I'm on record being a huge Butler fan since his play in the preseason. But with that said, couple of things.

Why are folks acting as if Revis is some sort of slipping liability? Was he Revis of old? No. Did he perform top 5 to 10 this year? Certainly. And the $16 million isn't that big of an issue with a swelling cap coming soon and huge contracts that will soon be off the books for the Jets.

I just don't share the worry

Just an excuse to suck off the Pats and shyt on the Jets. Only thing surprising or noteworthy about this season is the Jets being in control of their own destiny in Week 17. Nobody was predicting doom and gloom for the Pats or acting like the Jets would be instant SB contenders.

I think the Reiss quote sums up most Patriots fans feelings. Revis helped us win a Super Bowl. People wanted to keep him. He left for more dollars than Belly could handle and he still was a good/great corner back for the Jets. The Pat's felt that Butler had the right level of compete to fill at least an adequate amount of his spot and he played better than most of us hoped. No hard feelings anywhere and no one that I know is laughing at the Jets for signing him.

It's soooo contrived man.

If they win this year, they'll only be one behind. They've also made two others and lost by miracle plays. Brady has shown no signs of slowing down so idk how you can say with certainty that the Patriots can't reach Steelers' six 'chips...

Just sayin'

it was one miracle play. how many miracle plays can you give up to the same team

And they got one sb cause of the tuck rule

Agreed, I don't blame the Jets for signing Revis, They Got Marquee player/Fan Favorite Back, They had a TON of cap space last year and they felt that by getting (Top 2 Corner in the League coming off a Championship) in Revis they were weakening their Rivals at the same time. We just got lucky with Malcom Butler, the Formidable front 7 we had this year gave QBs less time to let plays develop and made the defensive backs look way better.

I mean he knew he wasn't going to outbid the Jets once they pretty much stated they were gonna pay whatever for him.

I do wonder what Beli would've spent on him. I think he would've overpaid. Ironically, the Jets may have done more damage letting the Pat's try to keep him

I knew he wasn't going to pay Revis.. Revis plays hardball and was not taking anything less than what Richard Sherman got..

No way Beli was gonna give a 30 yr old CB $40-50 million guaranteed

Bottom 5 schedule, top 5 defense, top WR corps and 100+ later, and no playoffs. All Mac did was switch some chairs around; he didn't get anywhere.

What should have he done this year?

He has already reached peak value. If he were a stock, now is the time to begin shorting him.

Injected our offense with some youth. It's a year later for it now

He inherited arguably the worst roster in the league. Patience please.

Dog....we should have at least added some youth offensively.

Brian winters is our youngest building block.

So you expected the Jets to be 10-6 and a shytty game from Fitzpatrick away from the playoffs? Who brought in the pieces that made that defense top 5 and that WR corps good with the back up QB in mind you?
