If you know any Jets fans please give them a hug today. They will need it. After all, these poor people thought that the Patriots losing Tom Brady would make the Jets a legitimate team. It’s quite sad really. To have all that hope shattered in one Sunday afternoon is terrible. Brady is down and yet the Patriots are still significantly better than the Jets. Now I understand the logic used by Jets fans and the media. The Patriots went from Brady to Cassell and the Jets went from a QB carousel to one of the all time greats. With those changes the Jets must certainly be better than the Patriots. It’s the same logic we RedSox fans used to use every year to find false hope that we’d win the division. Well, the logic forgets that a team is not made of one player. The match up is still the Jets D vs the Patriots D. Bill Belichick vs Eric Mangini. Moss and Welker vs. Cotchery and Coles. Pats special teams vs the Jets special teams. Which of those match ups favor the Jets?

Jets fans, you have an up and coming team with a good coach and a great quarterback. Your time will probably come. That time, however, is not now. Sit back and enjoy the ride. I may be visiting you when both of our teams are no longer playing after the second week of the playoffs. If that happens we can commiserate together. If the Patriots go deep in the playoffs then I may not remember to say hi. Please forgive me if that happens.

*** Please note that this is just fun smack talk and release after a week of ridiculous national media expectations that the Patriots would implode. Feel free to hit me back with everything you got.
