How many fans expected the Jets to have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs?\u00c2\u00a0<!--more-->\u00c2\u00a0Well truth be told not many. Coming off a dismal 2005 season the Jets have bounced back nicely playing physical, smart, disciplined football.\u00c2\u00a0 They are not the most talented team, but they are well prepared, conditioned and determined.\u00c2\u00a0 They are winning games by not beating themselves as well as out thinking the opposition.\u00c2\u00a0 So has anyone really noticed?<\/p>\n<p>It appears that many in the media see the Jets as improving but not truly worthy of playoff consideration with that credit being given to teams like the Jaguars, Bengals and Chiefs. This lack of attention could be a great thing for the Jets as it allows the team to remain focused as well as supplies a little motivation with the underdog role.\u00c2\u00a0 The \u00e2\u20ac\u0153us against the world\u00e2\u20ac? mentality tends to bring out the best in athletes and this could end up being the case with the Jets. So let the spotlight remain on the teams with the flashy players, whiners and crybabies.\u00c2\u00a0 Let the reporters chase the sound bites and excuse makers.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just sit back and watch my team continue to play well and win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Side Notes<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u00c2\u00b7Beware!!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The upcoming schedule is not as easy as many think.\u00c2\u00a0 It is always difficult to win on the road and games at Green Bay and Minnesota are going to be very difficult.\u00c2\u00a0 In addition, the Dolphins and Bills are much improved teams will give the Jets all they can handle at game time.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7Kudos, well sort of-\u00c2\u00a0 It was great to see Mike Nugent make the 54 yard kick on Sunday but he still has a way to go to prove he is a legitimate kicker for the Jets.\u00c2\u00a0 He has yet to hit a kick under pressure, not to mention make a big kick on the road.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7Are you a pilot?\u00c2\u00a0 What is with the growing amount of paper airplanes being thrown at games? What will it take someone that you know to get blinded before you stop throwing them?<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7Bring on the Pack!!
