A reality check for New York Jets fans:

On opening day, your mediocre band of misfits and its aging quarterback barely beat a Dolphins team that went 1-15 last year.

And if not for Brett Favre’s throw-up-a-prayer touchdown pass in the second quarter or Chad Pennington’s failure to find an open Miami receiver in the end zone from just 18 yards out with 5 seconds left to play in the game, Gang Green would have opened the season 0-1 rather than 1-0.

In other words, stop acting like you’re gonna win the Super Bowl. You probably won’t even make the playoffs.
