It's an entirely different team... but some magical disease is going to strike them because of their team name? What about Joe Namath in Super Bowl 3? That team had almost as much in common as the ones qb'd by Calvin Clemens or whatever his name was.

3 or 4 years ago? How about last year? In 2009, the Jets were 0-5 in games decided by less than 6 points. They had excruciating last-second losses to the Dolphins, the Bills, the Jaguars, the Dolphins again, and the Falcons. Forget Jet history for a minute, so far this season, there have been three games that last year's team would have almost certainly lost. They lost the first one against the Ravens. They won the Dolphins game (which was pretty much a carbon copy of their loss in Miami on MNF last year) and won tonight's game. It's obviously early, but the most encouraging thing about the first five weeks isn't their talent, which was apparent from day one of training camp, but their developing ability to close out games.
