The second half is tougher, but they have put themselves in a good spot early on.
This week at Miami is a good chance to see where they are at and how will they rebound against a divisional foe. Looking at the big picture I want to say the Ryan will have them ready and overall they are going in the right direction.
You have to look at this as a blue-balled Jet fan like me and so many others. Just because of how many years they've teased us by being pretty good, but not great, if the potential is there I want to root for a great team. The defense is great, but I have a feeling it's going to end up being wasted because of an inept/mismanaged offense. No doubt with their schedule they should be at least 6-2 at the bye and probably at least 11-5 by year's end. But that means nothing to me if they don't have a legitimate chance to get to the Super Bowl.

It sounds spoiled, and I'm definitely grateful that they're way better than I thought they'd be, but they're probably fatally flawed, and I've rooted for too many Jet teams like that to be gassed up by another one.

Hopefully I'm wrong and the O-Line gets its act together, Clowney or someone else comes on as a deep threat and Sanchez stops staring down his receivers. Until that happens though, we'll be a great defense with an offense that could never carry us if necessary. I know I should look long-term, but who knows if the parts are going to be there next year. Kris Jenkins is breaking down, other than Mangold we don't have any great O-Lineman, the rest of the D-Line is nothing special and they still refuse to pay Leon his money.

With that said, I told Chuck I'm expecting a 35-6 Jet win next Monday.
