We have selective memories, when people say, "only 2 teams have ever won that way"....... the Steelers have always been right there, come playoffs, due to consistently good/great defenses-- the Patsies won their SBs, with good/great defenses (and the other team's plays), the Niners of the mid-80's, had Montana, along with good/great defenses--- the Giants have always won with defense---- the Ravens are always in the playoff hunt, with defense-----I could keep going on and on, because there are many more examples.... but my point should be clear. To get to the playoffs, with a bye, they need to beat the Pats.... in order to do that, they need to shut down their offense, not get into shoot-outs.
The Jets have a plan, with a core group that could, or should be entering their primes. They had an obvious plan, in this year's draft, to build some depth and add future starters. Their plan is to win now..... while building for the future-- and what's wrong with that? As fans, that's all we should ask for.
