Complacency on Cloud Nine?
During Max Kellerman's Wednesday show on ESPN Radio, he read an email from a Jets' fan, claiming that he's still too ecstatic after defeating the New England Patriots that Sunday's game won't have much bearing on his feelings.
What?!
Defeating the Patriots was beautiful. Fans should be thrilled with the victory. But believing that we shouldn't be upset with a loss in Tennessee is insane.
Sure, Jets' fans shouldn't be running to the highest point they can find in the instance of a loss, but to believe this game has little significance to the team's playoff hopes is focusing on the wrong thing.
If fans want the Jets to be competitive in the postseason, winning games like this one is an incredible start. If Jets' fans want their team to be taken seriously and not picked against week-after-week by major media NFL pundits, defeating the Titans is a strong step in that direction.
Complacency is not in the spirit of a champion. Coming away from Nashville at 7-4 and being happy because the Jets still hold the divisional tie-breakers isn't that killer spirit New York needs to make a dent in the postseason.
A win in Tennessee could mean home-field advantage. The division is New York's, but it's not clear sailing.
After Tennessee, the Denver Broncos come to town and are looking to get back to early season form with the playoffs on the horizon.
But one game at a time, right?
