Proves something? That's irrelevant. As a Pats fan losing to the Jets in the playoffs has to have more meaning than losing to Denver. This isn't accounting, it's football. We follow the game out of passion - you can't dispassionately lose to the Jets after going 14-2, securing home field advantage throughout the playoffs while going one & done & losing to the foot (long?) loving fatty. That does plenty for me, like keeping me mostly away from the game until training camp (and ruining this years off season w/ draft, news of continued rebuilding....).
Losing in the playoffs sucks. Not winning the Super Bowl sucks. The rest is irrelevant.
This loss was nowhere near the loss to the Colts in 2006, when losing by crazy circumstances gave the Colts a Super Bowl.
Since you're bringing up passion and whatever (as though other fans aren't passionate, please get off your horse) maybe consider that some of us don't get riled up by blowhards talking trash. I'd much rather beat the Colts than the Jets, any day of the week, since the Colts are an actual rival. The Jets have not gotten to that level yet.
I don't even see that team as particularly formidable either.
