Don't you recognize that it's correct time to get the mortgage loans, which would realize your dreams.

The difference here is that the Giants unit is road tested, throw anything at them, and they won’t let it work twice, the Jets on the other hand, you can stack toward the left side and blitz on Ferguson and the guy will just let someone fly right by him. So sure his “POA” is high, but that’s because he doesn’t know how to adjust his play. There’s a reason why OL never are given statistical assessments because if you can use any stat to say the Jets have a better OL than the Giants, it’s comical.

I don’t think that the winning record is really relevant because there are too many variables in addition to the OL.
The QB’s health – Manning was in good shape all season long unlike Favre (IMO that’s the main factor of their losses).
The receiving corp – the Jets had the advantage here
The RBs – I think we can agree that both teams have good running backs
But ALSO the defense – if you look at the stats the Giants’ defense is better than the Jets’ and that’s what made the difference.
Etc…
My point is: the only thing that proves the Giants have a better OL than the Jets is the fact they led the league in rushing yards.

Good statistical analysis and more appropos summary was included. However, you missed the next most important criteria: How about level of competition? I would think that the Giants’ OL faced considerably more competitive defensive lines and LBs (i.e., better defenses) as well as pass rushers than did the Jets’ OL; I could be wrong?
