With some help from Jim Caldwell, Curtis Painter, Brad Smith and the Dolphins/Jaguars/Ravens/Broncos, the Jets will close down their stadium next Sunday in control of their playoff destiny. Sound vaguely familiar?* The Jets are once again evoking memories of their former co-tenants, the Mets, and in the name of the sanity of fans of both teams let's hope Ochocinco and co. lay a big egg in East Rutherford next week. Consider the following parallels and then decide who will win Jets-Bengals:

• Giants Stadium (1/3/10) as Shea Stadium (9/28/08)
  
• Mark Sanchez as Oliver Perez
• Chad Ochocinco as Wes Helms
• Eric Mangini as Willie Randolph
• Laveranues Coles as Matt Lindstrom
• Darrelle Revis as Carlos Beltran (tough to decide who is more awesome)

* -- No, the Mets didn't technically control their playoff destiny but a win that day would have guaranteed at least a one game playoff. Close enough.
