"I was just pissed off," Grandcu said. "I lost $700 on the game. That's real money. I feel like Sanchez is doing all of these turnovers on purpose."
Winning is a habit. So is losing. And the Jets have perfected the latter. The Jets are so collectively detached that it's hard to know if they know the difference.
If you look at the big picture, Monday night's loss -- which mercifully eliminated the Jets from the AFC playoff race -- was a good thing for the franchise. And the comic ineptitude made it even better.

"Just something to try to give back and show tribute to those families knowing how much they hurt," Johnson said. "And a situation where on Monday Night Football everybody around the world is watching."
Watching the Sanchez literally throw away the Jets' slim playoff hopes with a season-high five turnovers against Tennessee may be the final straw for Rex Ryan.
Chris Johnson went 94 yards for the longest touchdown run in the NFL since 2006 and the Tennessee Titans beat the Jets 14-10 on Monday night to eliminate New York from playoff contention.
"I don't even know how to put it into words," Cruz said. "There are no words that can describe the type of feeling that you get when a kid idolizes you so much that unfortunately they want to put him in the casket with your jersey on."
Head coach Rex Ryan, who obviously doesn't wear a helmet, plans to honor the victims in his own way by wearing a headset with the letters "S.H.E.S." while he coaches.
