Aight Yard – It’s ya boy B-wood just chilling in DC on a cold Monday night enjoying a great Monday night football game between the and ! It's going to be an early night for me because we’ve got a big game tomorrow night against the Philadelphia 76ers and we really need this win, especially since we’re at home! The season has started out a little rocky and hasn’t gone the way I envisioned it but we can turn this thing around tomorrow with a strong win against Philly. Don’t worry Wizards’ fans, we’re down but we're not out. We’re gonna get this thing fixed and give yall a product to be proud of!I also wanted to address . After a very frustrating two-game road trip where my team was defeated by the and , I made some comments that were misconstrued. If you didn’t catch it, I basically said that everyone on our team needs to check their egos at the door and play as a team. I thought it was a simple comment but some media outlets made it sound like my comments were directed toward I just wanted to let all Wizards fans know that’s the furthest thing from the truth. Please don’t believe or buy into that. Gil and I are friends and we communicate all the time off the court through text messages. If I ever had a problem with him, I’d take it directly to him and not go through the media. My comments about people needing to check their egos at the door was not directed at one person but to my entire team – myself included. Because, at different points in this season, we’ve all let our egos get in the way of what we’ve needed to do to be successful.Aight Yard – now that I’ve cleared that up, I’m gonna get back to enjoying this Monday night football game. I’m gone!B-Wood

Yes, yes, yes, I know he's a rookie. Get it. Yup, totally saw him get picked this summer. Uh-huh, aware of the whole only started 16 games at SC thing. Still, channeling , this is professional football! This is the NFL! STOP THROWING THE BALL TO THE OTHER TEAM, or dropping it on the ground for the opponent to conveniently pick up. Do we need to put some sort of reflective material on our receivers so you can better identify them? Maybe there's a way to sneak in a Jack Bauer-inspired countdown clock inside your helmet to indicate when an explosion is imminent?Ah yes, all that Sanchize talk seems like eons ago now. The increasingly popular Suckchez moniker might be a little harsh, but Marky-poo is just going to have to deal with it. I know quarterbacks dread the whole managing-the-game association, but the Jets could use that mentality from Sanchez. Just as suspect as his errant throws is his (recently consistent) awful decision-making. Mistakes are expected. It's the whole learning from them thing that Jets fans are still waiting on. Now, his team and his coaches haven't exactly been tearing it up in his support either, but it's time for Sanchez to start internalizing these ugly lessons. All that said, my commentary earlier in the year, and what most Jets fans where saying from the outset, was focused on a desire for one thing -- to be competitive. A competitive ball club was all most intelligent Jets fans were realistically hoping for at the outset. Rookie QB. Rookie head coach. A second-rate receiving core. Most of us went through the schedule and said we'd sign up for 8-8. Of course, the 3-0 start is what makes all of the Jets recent suckiness so painful. That start led to wildly revised expectations that could only lead to one predictable destination -- diasappointment. Since then, Jenkins and Washington have also gone down only further exposing how valuable we all knew them to be. And instead of any more playoff talk, the Jets rookie QB and loudmouthed head coach are 4-6. The lights have long been turned out on the playoff party. Excuse the cliche, but this is where we find out something about this team. Many Jets fans seem somewhat inclined to disregard the fact that yesterday's loss came against a pretty nasty Patriots team. This team wasn't going into Gillette and winning. Of course it's the manner in which they got dismantled that was again problematic. Regardless, six games remain on the schedule: Carolina, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Indy and Cincy. The way this team is playing right now, I would not be able to say with confidence that the Jets should win any of these games.So,what's it going to be Rexy/Sanchez? Lose out and enjoy the offseason rumor mill questioning your coaching chops, and whether you should be holding a clipboard again. Split (by taking the next three) and save some face by showing a bit of improvement and tempering the tempest. Or, and this is just crazy talk, make a run at .500 and give Jets fans a glimmer of hope that the early season visions that started dancing around in our heads might be somewhere in this team's forseeable future.
