Sorry, folks, but after last night's game, I have to say that the NY Jets don't entirely suck. They came into Foxboro and played a hard-nosed, disciplined football game.
The reasons?
1) addition by subtraction - the Jets shut their pie-holes leading up to this game and did not create distractions for themselves,
2) Holmes and Revis being gone put more pressure where it needed to be - on the coaches and players to step up "do their jobs," and
3) the Jets played within their limitations - other than the Dennard interception on a pass Sanchez just can't throw, the Jets did not try to do things outside the abilities of its skill players on offense, and the relative lack of weakness of its front seven on defense.
They looked prepared for the Patriots on both sides of the ball and played them statistically even in every category, including the score. So for this week, my hat is off to the Jets.
Now, that being said, one sign of buffoonery and I'll be back on the Official Jets Suck thread helping out where I can.
