The New York Jets started out with a bang - fans hope that the Jets are as good as they seem. Not many people gave the Jets a chance to beat the New England Patriots (only Jets fans and the Jets team probably).

As a fan of the team, I have to say that I’m absolutely thrilled. I think this team finally has potential after many years of hoping.

After winning a strong season opener in week 1 against the Texans in Houston, the Jets came back home as the underdogs against the Patriots, armed with a healthy Tom Brady. This was a huge test for NY and they came ready.

If rookie Sanchez can limit his interceptions, manage the game, and keep his completion percentage around 60%, there is no reason the Jets can’t make a serious Super Bowl run. The AFC is very strong this year so it won’t be easy.Mark Sanchez is the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw over 200 yards in his first three starts.

Rex Ryan knew what needed to be done. Pressure Tom Brady! This is exactly what they did and he was completely shut down.

Personally, I’ve never seen a Jets defensive unit that looked this great. I know that Rex Ryan gets all of the credit in Baltimore for what he did with the Ravens defense, but I never fully believed it. Now I’m starting to see that he’s for real, as is rookie QB Mark Sanchez.

He’s bringing the Ravens mentality to New York and the Ravens have a championship because of the success in defense they’ve had.

The Jets can only beat who they play - the Jets have a fairly easy schedule despite playing the Patriots twice and the Colts. The Jets can easily compile a 11-5 or 12-4 record and make a strong playoff push.
