This swagger stuff is rubbing off on me. I do believe that we have more than enough talent to make it to the Superbowl and win. There are a few interesting teams in the AFC including the Steelers, Patriots, Cheifs Texans and Ravens. I feel we match up well and should be able to deliver a win when it counts against them all. Especially considering Peyton being a non-factor.
On the NFC side it's anybody's year. Everyone is counting the Giants out, the Cowboys are way under the radar and The Dream Team in Philly is going to fall flat on their beaks when their #1 bird goes down with a broken wing... IMHO. We can certainly beat any team in the NFC in the big game regardless.
Now the question is this... will we play sloppy lazy football this year, starting slow and playing catch up in the second half? Or, will we learn from last season and come out of the gates on fire... week after week. We have such a stockpile of talent that the players are aware that they can start slow and still land the win. It worked 13 out of 19 times last year.
I don't agree that we need to win our division to win the Superbowl. I don't think our team has shown that they are a dominate team at home during the past two seasons. And, we have been very effective on the road. With this level of talent we just need to play 60 minutes, hard and fast, every week. We can easily be 12-4 and primed for the post-season.
The Jets signed Mardy Gilyard the WR I have been raving about since last year. I desperately wanted us to draft him, and when we picked him up last week I was thrilled. Well, he has been cut. There is an outside chance he could make our practice squad. I still love that kids skill set. I hope he does make the active roster at some point this season, and I also hope to see Maybin back in Green and White.
Our TE depth is not ideal, although I am liking Ingram. Our QB depth is a much larger concern. Brunell is banged up and 60 years old, McElroy is on IR and O'Connell has returned to the Jets. If you thought the Brooks Bolli-Wood era was a nightmare back in 05', you will be sucking on the end of a .357 magnum as a Jets fan if either of these two losers ever lines up behind center for us. Protect #6 O-line!!!
I have been disappointed and heartbroken by the Jets many times in the past 25 years. But, if they lose this game tomorrow night, on national television, on the 10 year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in NYC..... this time I don't forgive.
