Don't look back in anger

While most New Yorkers are trying to get excited about Knicks basketball and salivating at the taste of pitchers and catchers reporting, we must take a moment and reflect on what a great season it was for the New York Jets.

After an eye opening performance on Hard Knocks, the Jets became a popular favorite for the Super Bowl. Their no-BS approach, backed with great coaching, special teams, defense, and a running game were the early blueprints for success. A star studded group of free agent signings (LT, Cromartie, JT, Santonio Holmes) made picking the Jets easy for most, especially the NY media.
However, playing with a whole new set of guys isn't easy. The whole Revis holdout situation didn't help, the notorious "sophomore slump" that Sanchez may or may not have experienced, Kris Jenkins going down week 1, and the media crazed romance in the form of sideline tripping and foot fetishes did their parts of complicating the already difficult regular season.
When push came to shove the NY Jets showed their real colors. Ground and Pound outdistanced many great teams this season and surely came to life during the playoffs. Beating Indy and New England in the postseason, on the road nonetheless, is surely something to be proud of.
Few question marks heading into next season; resign Cromartie? Will Jim Leohnard be healty? Will Pouha replace Kris Jenkins forever? Will Brian Shottenheimer start to take chances? Does LT have another year in him?

Regardless of the answers to those questions, everyone can look back and say that the J-E-T-S left it all out on the field this year. Big Ups!
