In the aftermath of the competitive loss last week up in New England a lot of people came away feeling that while there may not necessarily be a shift in power underway in the AFC East, the distance between the Jets and Patriots is at least closing a bit.
That’s all well and good, but if we’ve learned anything about the Jets over the last several decades they are just as good as their next game’s result. A positive step forward one week can easily turn into crushing regression the next.
And in the grand scheme of things, the 30-23 defeat to the Patriots last Sunday was, indeed, a step forward if for no other reason than the Jets definitely now have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick’s undivided attention.
