Hey, did anyone hear that the Jets won yesterday?

They did, 17-14. It was sweet. They defied the expectations of all five of the dudes paid to predict what would happen in the game on CBS’ pre-game, not to mention just about everyone who has ever hosted a talk-radio show.

Haters, and there will be plenty, will point out that they only won because Nate Kaeding, normally one of the more reliable kickers in football, missed three field goals. This is true.

But one of them was from 57 yards out, first of all, so that hardly counts. And the other two? I don’t know. Chalk that up to a little Doug Brien karma coming back around for the Jets.

Seriously, it’s not like luck has fallen their way that often, historically. Why’s everyone going to begrudge the Jets when things work out for them this season? So the Colts pulled Peyton Manning one week, then the Bengals laid down the next and sucked it up in the Wild Card round. Whatever. Near as I can tell, the Jets defense did a pretty good job shutting down one of the best passing offenses in football yesterday.

Anyway, I’m off today and the day is as beautiful as Mark Sanchez’s playoff beard, so I’ll leave you with this:

Remember earlier this year, when Kris Jenkins got hurt and everyone was saying the Jets were in trouble because they were “built to win now”? What was that about?

Because the way I see it, right now, the Jets have a promising rookie head coach, a highly touted young offensive coordinator who wants to stick around, an improving rookie quarterback, a rookie runningback that appears to be something of a stud, two young Pro Bowl offensive linemen, and a good young tight end. And they’ve got an awesome defense and a GM who appears to have an eye for awesome defenders.

And they have Darrelle Revis.

It’s pretty good to be a Jets fan and to be off from work today.
