What we learned from Mangini: a retrospective

1) If your kicker can make a field goal with room to spare, the kicker can probably make the same field goal from 5 yards back. It's at least worth a try.

2) It's 1st and goal and your quarterback is future Hall of Famer Brett Favre. What do you do? Next time, try letting him throw.

3) The problem is not always the quarterback. Maybe it's time to look deep inside and ask if the problem is the quarterback inside yourself.

4) Brett Favre, in this day and age, is no Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Or, for that matter, no Chad Pennington.

5) It's 4th and 2 late in the 4th quarter. You are down by 7 points. What do you do? Maybe not a deep route (see #4).

6) Money cannot buy you happiness. Or championships. <-- how does someone in New York not know that lesson?

7) 'Roster depth' is a great idea. See #6.

To quote one beleaguered fan: 'What the hell is going on in Mangini's pee like brain.'
