The Jets’ time for moral victories and mediocrity is over

After two disappointing seasons, there are two distinctly different tacts taking place in the front offices of the two local football teams right now.

The Giants — after going 11-5 and making the playoffs last season and six years removed from their most recent of four Super Bowl titles — have torn apart their front office and begun rebuilding it with a general manager who made it clear from the moment he burst through the door that he’s here to kick ass and take names.

The Jets — coming off a second consecutive 5-11 season, having not been to the playoffs for the last seven seasons and 48 years removed from their one and only Super Bowl title — have taken a kinder, gentler approach, opting for the status quo and giving Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan two-year contract extensions.
