Wow, what a turnaround it's been in New York! Not only does the team have a new coach, a new rookie QB, some new role players, and more, but the entire team looks completely revitalized in a way like I've never seen it before.
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.
Entering week 2, the Patriots were a heavy favorite vs. New York and were expected to beat the Jets, as they ordinarily do in New York. Tom Brady had beaten the Bills the week before, and with an effective drive in the final two minutes of the game, brought the Patriots to victory.
The New York Jets were prepared to show New England that a new team was in the building. The defense absolutely shut down the Pats' offense. Tom Brady had his first game without throwing a TD in almost four years, and lost his first game during the regular season since the end of the 2006 season.
The Pats came to New York on Sunday and the Jets looked like an entirely new team. Not only was Brady limited to his first game without a touchdown pass since 2005, but the Patriots lost their first regular season game with Brady as their quarterback since December 11, 2006!
The Jets defense looked as strong as I can ever remember it looking, and new coach Rex Ryan deserves a lot of credit for reshaping a defense that struggled through much of last season.
The Jets have a formidable running attack with Leon Washington and Thomas Jones, and WR Jerricho Cotchery is contributing.
My hat goes off to the Jets for a huge win. This shows, if they can beat Tom Brady and the Patriots, they can defeat any team on any given Sunday. - 31493
