Jets fans can breathe a bit easier as it is true! There are two Halves to the NFL season.\u00a0 We watched a Jets team agonize fans with inconsistent play and struggle to develop an identity.\u00a0 However, there is a huge upside because Sunday’s game at Orchard Park was the turning point to this team’s season.<\/p>\n

Huge strides were made by the entire team that is starting to define roles.\u00a0 Kris Jenkins, Darrelle Revis, and Shaun Ellis are making it very clear they are the anchors of the defense.\u00a0 Thomas Jones,\u00a0 Laveranues Coles, Leon Washington, and Jerricho Cotchery have elevated their level of play and you’ll see consistent solid production for the rest of the season.\u00a0 The rest of the supporting cast are starting to show huge improvement each week and a resilience to do their jobs well to help this team win.<\/p>\n

As a whole, the Jets are starting to show how athletic of a team they are and the roster is filled with players with heart! That’s right heart; the secret ingredient to any teams success in any sport.\u00a0 The players want to win and the win in Buffalo on Sunday is going to give this team the momentum they need to make a run at the division.\u00a0 It’s up for grabs and the Jets can have it.\u00a0 The mighty Patriots showed they can be rattled and they are!\u00a0 You heard it here first, the Jets will go 6-2 the rest of the season and they will beat the Pats in Foxboro.\u00a0 Also, look for Dustin Keller to play a much bigger role the rest of the season and remind us more of Dallas Clark.<\/p>\n

Lets not forget about the Jets favorite topic, how did Brett play?\u00a0 Well, not too bad but not that great.\u00a0 The upside of things is that you saw him give the Jets a dimension they haven’t ever had, a quarterback who uses all his weapons.\u00a0 He spread the ball and defense out very well.\u00a0 Executed well under pressure and let the receivers make plays.\u00a0 Favre has a knack for getting everybody involved in the offense and keeping the defense guessing.\u00a0 He also controlled himself more than normal and we only saw one of his infamous picks this week.\u00a0 He’s getting more comfortable in the offense and he’s going to put up a very big 2nd half.<\/p>\n

The downside of things is that you’ll still see flashes of confusion where you left wondering if Brett is on the same field as everybody else.\u00a0 Overall, his numbers weren’t as sexy as we would’ve liked to see, but he played a solid game to give the Jets a chance to win.\u00a0 The entire team came together to win this game.\u00a0 New York has been too critical of Brett since day one.\u00a0 He’s only one piece of the puzzle and can’t do it all himself.\u00a0 It takes a long time to develop chemistry with your teammates and even Hall of Famers have learning curves.\u00a0 The mistakes are in the past and this team is going in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Favre is taking this team to the playoffs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
