"I'm serious. It had nothing to do with us. We weren't going. We were watching the playoffs just like they were," Ryan said. "I have a lot of friends over there. And I care about them. And if we can't go, then fine. But I certainly wasn't going to not give the very best that we had just to help them out. But quite honestly, I'd prefer seeing the Jets in (the playoffs) than a lot of teams."
