Well the Jets have finally done it. They have beaten the evil Patriots and have a 1 game lead in the division. Even though I couldn't watch the game on TV because the NFL network and NFL in general needs more money, I listened to it on the radio and watched a play by play on NFL.com. The Jets first half was almost perfect but I knew they would let the Pats back in it, just because well, I'm a Jets fan its expected. I knew the Patriots were really going to get back into it when Matt Cassell who I have been very impressed with as of late, took his team down the field with ease and scored a touchdown before the half. At that point I knew this was going to be a game.

After the first half this game did look like a blow out. The defense has improved, The offensive line, and Brett Farve was just the missing piece of the puzzle to this scheme. Farve has really calmed it down and followed the Jets orders in just getting what needs to be down, getting first downs, moving the chains, and when they need it using his big time arm picking up gains of 40-50 yards, something Chad Pennington couldn't ever do.

All in all I am happy with this season as of now (despite the fact they should be 8-2 that loss to the Raiders killed me). The defense is really coming together making huge stops and is led by nose guard Chris Jenkins who is just a plug in the middle stopping the run game. The running game has been surprising as well as Thomas Jones has really stepped it up to what I thought after last season was a bad signing, has come out and proven himself. He had 3 touchdowns all of last years, and now has 10 putting him into the top three in the league for rushing touchdowns. Now the next game will be tough when the face the Titans who are undefeated. This will be a great game and who knows maybe the Jets have what it takes.
