"I don't think it was one thing," owner Woody Johnson said at a news conference Monday. "We had to go in a different direction. There's nothing specific. It's just a call we made. Hopefully, it's correct."

This one I don't agree with. They were 4-12 last year, and he finished 9-7 this year. Did they fault down the stretch? Yes, but so did Favre. I'd give the guy another year.
