The Jets woudl have been just as good with the fresh line and Pennington as they were with Farve, and most likely with fewer interceptions since super Brett has made a career of chucking the ball into coverage.

Very true, but I don't think Thomas Jones would have had the kind of season that he had if Pennington was the QB. With Favre, the defense had to think about the deep ball and play a little soft whereas with Pennington you could play up for the short passes and the running game would have hurt.
Anyway, now that the Jets are out I'm rooting for the Falcons. I just can't root for a team from the same division(Dolphins),
