Last season is Week 2 versus this season in Week 2, we'll see the same teams (Pats and Jets) play in NY. But virtually everything leading into this game has been flipped around.
2009: Jets were lovable loser team with a new head coach and rookie quarterback with no expectations.
2010: Jets are the league's most reviled team with their chest thumping and self-imposed Super expectations
2009: Patriots had tremendous pressure to win every game, believing Brady could revert to 2007 form
2010: Patriots were picked by virtually no pundits to be a serious contender this season and have been completely under the radar
2009: Patriots limped into the game with several key injuries, including Wes Welker (coming off a pro bowl season) and Jerod Mayo (coming off of an DROY season)
210: Patriots are very healthy, while the Jets lose Kris Jenkins for the season and have some questions about Darelle Revis' hamstring
2009: Mark Sanchez is the modest messiah of the Jets, having fun playing the game and coming off a fantastic rookie performance vs. Houston. Arguably his best NFL performance.
2010: Sanchez is quickly growing a reputation as an arrogant, uncoachable, thin-skinned QB who lacks the ability to succeed in the NFL. Coming off arguably his worst NFL performance, at least from expectations standpoint.
2009: Patriots cut several veterans, including Kevin O'Connell, who are plucked up by the Jets and trotted out as team captains
2010: Jets cut Danny Woodhead, who is picked up by the Patriots
2009: Rex Ryan modestly calls fans to support the Jets, proclaiming that he has less wins than BB has Super Bowls and that this .
2010: Rex Ryan assures fans that the Jets will win the Super Bowl, constantly talks about how great the team is, and proclaims his team the AFC East favorite
