Who Are the Real NY Jets?

The 2009 season has been a whirlwind of a year for the New York Jets after just 6 weeks of football. What started out on an incredible note has quickly soured, leading many to believe that the proclamation about the Jets being a newly great AFC team were premature.

During the first week of football, the Jets had a very impressive win at Houston, holding Matt Schaub (the yards leader in the NFL among QBs) to virtually nothing. This was a big win for the team that would head back to New York to face the rival Patriots in week 2.

Amazingly, the Jets beat the Patriots in this game for the first time in years. A team that they could never win before was suddenly vulnerable and within reach, and the Jets' stellar defense was celebrated for it.

Week three brought them the Titans, a winless team that was still seen as dangerous because of their great 2008 season. Still, the Jets held them off and marched out to a 3-0 start.

Since then, the 2009 season has been nothing but trouble in New York. After losing a game they were expected to lose in New Orleans, the Jets proceeded to drop their next two games, losing to both the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills in games that should have been won. Mark Sanchez has regressed from his mature form and the offense is having trouble clicking as a unit.
