When was the last time you said that?\u00c2\u00a0 Ok many of you will say after the Jets beat the New England Patriots this year but truly when was the last time you actually had an overall positive, excited feeling about your beloved Jets?<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\nMost of the time discussions regarding the green and white usually <!--more-->involve a look back at moments gone bad: fake spike, late hits, fumbles, missed field goals, poor play calling etc. \u00c2\u00a0Now the discussion includes comments like disciplined, intelligent, passionate, determined, play like a TEAM etc.\u00c2\u00a0 This group of players is not the most athletic, not the most talented or the most gifted but they are group of men that truly believe in each other and their leader Eric Mangini.\u00c2\u00a0 This team wins as one and loses as one and that has not been the case with this franchise in years past .\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\nThe game against the Dolphins is the perfect example of these \u00e2\u20ac\u0153new age\u00e2\u20ac?

Would they stall on offense and end up punting?\u00c2\u00a0 Would they have a huge turnover that would cost them the game?\u00c2\u00a0 Would they miss a field goal and head into overtime? Would they be content with running the ball and heading into overtime?\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 These are not your same old Jets.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\nQuick Hits<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>How is that Chad Pennington is not the front- runner for Comeback Player of the Year?
