Ryan had already set these gasbags off last week, offending their sensitive souls, when he had the onions to compare his team’s “Monday Night Football” defeat to the Bears’ 38-24 “MNF” loss to Miami in 1985. Such blasphemy. How dare Ryan compare his team to the ’85 Bears, his critics raged.

First, they should all calm down. Then they should take their own advice and shut up.

Where is their imagination – and sense of humor? More importantly, do those clearly encouraging Ryan to channel his inner Mangini get it? If Ryan ever attaches a filter to his mouth, a quote-gushing machine suddenly goes dry. If he tones it down he would also be telling his team he’s a two-bit phony.

– Bob Raissman, N.Y. Daily News.

Here, Raissman pretty much nails the great N.Y. media paradox. An athlete or coach keeps quiet and he’s deemed aloof or incoherent or otherwise scorned for his inability to create good copy. An athlete or coach speaks up and says interesting things and eventually his words are thrown back in his face.

The good news is it doesn’t really matter at all. When the Jets are winning, Jets fans will love Ryan. When they’re losing, fans will question him. The N.Y. media in this equation is essentially Samneric, operating in lockstep, drifting with the tide.

I don’t have much to say about last night’s Jets-Patriots bloodbath except that it sucked. It sucked to watch, it probably sucked to play, and it especially sucked that I sat there pathetically holding out hope that the Jets could pull off some miracle comeback, up until the point where their defense stopped bothering. The broadcast sucked, the coaching sucked, Tom Brady’s stupid hair sucked.

It all sucked, except possibly Santonio Holmes and my buffalo wings.

All I can offer to Jets fans is that it’s only one game. And as much as it feels like the wind has been knocked out of the team — nay, it feels like their ribs have been broken and have punctured their lungs — it ultimately counts for one game in the standings.

Yes, it makes their path to taking the division and a first-round bye more difficult, but hardly impossible. The fact that we’re even hoping for playoff byes and home-field advantage at this point in the season speaks to how far the Jets have come in the last couple years.

F@#$. Whatever. Whatever, whatever. Tom Brady wears man-UGGs.
