Playoffs baby!

It’s been exactly four months since I’ve devoted a post to the Jets, so before you discontinue readership of my blog please understand that this is a necessity.

Me in muppet form:

I get it. We got lucky. The Ravens, Broncos, Dolphins, Titans, AND Jaguars lost. The Colts controversially decided to forgo a perfect season. The Bengals sat some of their starters, but that really doesn’t explain the massacre that was last night’s game. So yes, we entered the playoffs through the backdoor, but you know what? We deserve it. Now before you lambast me for being an obnoxious and arrogant Jets fan, here are a couple of interesting stats. Numbers don’t lie.

The Jets lead the league in
- Points allowed
- Points allowed per game
- Rushing yards
- Rushing yards per game
- Total yards allowed
- Total yards allowed per game
- Passing yards allowed
- Passing yards allowed per game
- Total first downs allowed
- Passing first downs allowed
- Third down conversions allowed
- Rushing first downs
- Fourth down conversion percentage
- Passing completion percentage allowed
- Yards per pass attempt allowed
- Passing touchdowns allowed

The Jets are top 5 in
- Rushing touchdowns
- Yards per rush attempt
- Yards per rush attempt allowed
- Average yards per reception allowed
- Average yards per kickoff return
- Punt return yards

The Jets are top 10 in
- Rushing yards allowed
- Rushing yards allowed per game

It’s indisputable that the Jets D has dominated this year, and the fantastic O-line has paved the way for a Leon Washington-less running game that also clearly dominated. So although the Jets barely slid into the playoffs, they deserve to be there.

PLAYOFFS BABY.
