Lichtenstein: ‘Win Now’ For The Jets Means Hoping And Praying Like Crazy For 8-8

With the start of the NFL’s regular season just a few days away, there seems to be some confusion regarding the expectations for the Jets.

Too many folks out there seem to have suddenly labeled this current iteration “a win-now team.”

I get that new general manager Mike Maccagnan has infused the locker room with some players on the wrong side of age 30, such as wide receiver Brandon Marshall and cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie. Included in the returning core are offensive line mainstays D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Nick Mangold and linebackers David Harris and Calvin Pace — all of whom are also on the down side of their respective careers.
