It's interesting how things have changed so quickly. We've gone from a fan base with great expectations just a few years back to a fan base that's remarkably happy to be where it is.
We're talking playoffs in December just a year after going 1-15. I honestly don't care about the way we've beat bad teams. Bottom line: We won the games we should have won. If anything, we're a couple breaks away from being 9-3...which is just ridiculous to say...but it's true.
Anyway...I work with a wide variety of football fans, including a couple rabid Jets fans. We banter when we can (by the way, one of the best responses to a Jets fan this year is "Yeah, but didn't you guys lose to the Raiders?"), and debate playoff chances. I was in a lengthy discussion about playoff tiebreakers with one of the Jets fans, showing him how we take the division if we win out, and a normally quiet Giants fan chimed in...
"If I were in the AFC, the Dolphins would scare the ever-loving holy #### out of me, because they're playing with house money. They have absolutely nothing to lose."
It's a wonderful phrase. Nobody at all expected us to be in this position, especially in DECEMBER. I'm gonna stop bantering with everyone, because I was hoping for 6 wins this year. For he rest of this year, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride.
