In case nobody else was going to bring it up, here's the Exodus theory to explain the Jets' success this season...
Forty years ago, the Jets (remember, this was before the merger, and they played in the AFL) offended the gods of football mightily by winning Super Bowl III. The gods had previously decreed that an upstart team from the AFL couldn't possibly beat the mighty Baltimore Colts, led as they were by Johnny Unitas.
As punishment for their transgression, the Jets were ordered to wander in the football desert for forty years.
If you check your calendar, you will notice that forty years have elapsed. The Jets are now released from bondage, having served their punishment. Now they are free to be unleashed on the rest of the league. And for this reason, one continues to make jokes about them and snicker in public at their own peril.

Watch out for those ghost pass-interference calls in the wussy dome. That's one of the weapons they will use quite often.
Waaaaahhhhh!
Poor, Ellis Hobbs. Waaaaaaahhhh!!!!!
