The Jets are the Best Team in the NFL, and You’re Wrong If You Disagree
No more diplomacy, and no more mercy for any of these other teams in the NFL. I will not be a Jets’ fan in fear! I will not make any disclaimers for our upcoming season.
As far as I’m concerned there’s no team in this league that can beat these New York Jets. If for some reason they do, it’s definitely because of a fluke set of circumstances that worked in the opposition’s favor.
Fans of other teams will call it an excuse, but I’ll call it how it is: Jets’ fans are right, and you are wrong. Even when we’re 4-12, we’re still better than our record and everyone else is lucky.
There will be no more, “Same Ol’ Jets,” and no more New England leading the division. The NFL analysts that doubt won’t be doing it anymore in the fourth quarter of 2008. It’s time to paint the town green!
Last season’s shortcomings may have looked bad to outsiders, but to those of us paying attention, we understand that it was all just a ripple effect caused by the leaks in our weaker ends. Those holes have been patched up, and now no team has a stronger foundation.
Practically every game lost last season was a winnable one. In most games, we were less than five minutes away from victory when our opponents got lucky. We let up. It won’t happen again.
There won’t be anything dripping between our offensive line this year. We will command the line of scrimmage. It doesn’t matter who our QB is, because he’s going to have the time to check every receiver three times if he’d like.
But you know what? It won’t be necessary because no other team in this league has enough talent on defense to adequately cover everyone on offense. Go ahead, Miami—double team Laveranues Coles the Dolphin Killer and let Jerricho Cotchery rack up the first downs.
Okay, New England, you want to blanket our wide receivers? Let’s see you match up one of your linebackers with Dustin Keller. And, Buffalo? You want to try and send Aaron Schobel into our backfield every play? The holes are going to be open on the other side.
Our recipes for success contain screen plays to Leon Washington, quick snaps to Brad Smith, clock killing with Thomas Jones, red zone efficiency with Bubba Franks, and enough time for any QB to pick apart your offense. You can stand in the huddle with us…I don’t think it’s going to matter.
Defensively, I fully expect the Jets to force more punts than any other team this year. Obviously we won’t be able to lead every defensive category because if we’re busy sacking the quarterback there won’t be many opportunities for interceptions.
So 2008 opponents, pick your poison. Take the sack or let us intercept it because I really hope you’re not thinking of running the rock through Kris Jenkins or David Harris. It’s not going to matter how fast or tall your primary receiver is. Any catches will be chalked up as luck, and I can guarantee that his yards after the catch will be laughable.
Unfortunately we won’t be sending any Kick Returners to the Pro Bowl this season. I don’t expect any of our Kick Return specialists to get enough opportunities. Remember, the other team needs to score to kick the ball off to us more than once per game.
But I do believe there are some Punt Return records up for grabs.
Football fans, I apologize in advance. Bandwagon hoppers, I promise not to embarrass you when you try and hitch a ride.
Good luck, NFL. I don’t envy any of you this Fall. Don’t dare chalk this up to blind optimism, or you’ll be even more shocked when we’re chalk-outlining your favorite teams this Fall.

[...] You were all warned. I wasn’t kidding; you thought it was a joke?! Those of us that can drink water and spit out Jet Fuel can feel it. This is the point where our New York Jets turn that corner. We are rapidly approaching a season where our team will know how to finish games. Our record may have been 4-12 last year, but outside of the very first New England game and the Thanksgiving Day Massacre in Dallas, every single game was in reach. Just as painfully as we went 4-12, we could have easily gone 14-2. Snicker if you must. Suck your teeth and assume I’m intoxicated if it’ll make you feel better. But the fact remains that if the chips would have fallen just a little bit differently in at least ten games last season, if a tackle would have been made, or if a receiver hauled in that catch, we wouldn’t be working tirelessly to defend our New York Jets for this upcoming season. Now that our team has improved its personnel, I know in my heart that Mangini and Co. will work tirelessly to guarantee that this team will finish games. [...]
