It was the perfect 1st game. We came away with a win and every player now knows the potential that the offense and defense has when its clicking. But at the same time with that second half they saw that they still got a lot of work to do and won't be going back to practice this week thinking they are hotshots.

Say it with me folks "FIRST GAME" and we WON. I think it gives them a taste of both worlds:

- The potential they have, with the talent in place, IF they execute
- The potential they don't have when they don't execute

They have something REAL to work off. When they review the coaches tape, they will see stuff that was done well. On the flip side they will see where they broke down AND what the Jets might have done differently in the second half to adjust. They can build future game plans off this.

Even SuperBowl teams don't execute perfectly start to finish. The key is to out execute your opponent by 1 play if that's what it takes to win. That's life in the NFL. I think coach gets that now, and that gives me as much hope as anything else I've seen.:smash:

There's alot of work for us to do but we can get it done. People are comparing it to when we played Arizona last season in the opener. Arizona wasn't a playoff team the season before but the Jets were. People are also saying that Vinny is old and can't get it done. Yes, he can. Sure, he was a little rusty but he can still be effective. I believe our game plan was based on that. Stop the run and force Vinny to beat us. We were putting alot of faith in our CB's and it worked. When didn't blitz that much and to me that's a good thing because teams don't have anything to game plan yet. From what I read, the defensive scheme has been simplified and tweaked to take advantage of the player's skills. They only go into a game with a couple of blitz packages but they try to execute them to perfection.

C'mon folks, it was the first game and we won. Let's correct our mistakes and keep on groovin.

I thought it was a good game. Showed some strenghts and some weaknesses while winning the game. What's not to love?
