The Jets were the talk of the nation this off-season where both they and their admirers in the media spouted off how they were “loaded” with talent and were “soon to be champs.”
In August they appeared on the HBO series “Hard Knocks”, an inside documentary that showed all aspects of their training camp. Most of the time was spent by Jets players and coaches boa(Please be quiet - edited)lly stating how good they were. The fire that was the Jets inevitable run to a Super Bowl championship was stoked by them getting to the AFC Championship Game and losing.
No matter that similar success didn’t necessarily follow losers of Conference Championship Games in the past. The media, and the Jets themselves, was hell bent on winning this Super Bowl for the Jets more than six months before it would be even played. This including numerous members of the Boston media, eager to tell fans how little they knew and how their hero worship of the locals would easily be humbled by the wagon that was the Jets. Who by the way, lost 31-14 the last time they saw the Patriots.
