The Jets still had 9 wins. They only needed 1 more with Mia, and Buff still on the schedule. They ended up losing one they should have won, and winning one they should have lost, but I always thought that they would get a spot. I already told you I didn't think they had a shot against NE, but you never know with Div games. The Jets went 2-3 in their final 5 games of the season last year. I don't call that getting better. They faced a banged up Indy team (beat them by 1 point), and then shocked everyone by beating NE. The year before that they were let in the playoffs and faced a bad Cincy team and an overrated team that has been known to choke in SD. You put too much stock in those 2 AFCC game appearances. If the Jets are the team you think they are, then I will be proven wrong soon. We'll see how it turns out.
and we LOST to Miami at home only scoring 6 pts plus 10 wins wasn't a guarantee at that point.
yeah, I put too much stock in winning 4 road playoff games, if only we could have won more reg season games and gone out early in the playoffs that would have proven how good we were.

yardage allowed is a secondary statistic and in several games it was inflated in garbage time. points win and lose football games.
their supposedly worst pass defense also allows a lower passer rating than Miami and several other teams.
Off the top of my head, the Bills and Colts give up fewer yards in the Patriots. Does anyone really think those defenses are better than the Patriots'?
Congrats on the win.
