So gimme that New York Jets thrill ride scenario again, the whole narrative arc, starting with a Hard Knocks Training camp.

End of summer -- Jets a juggernaut.

Lose the opener by a point at home -- Jets a fraud.

Win nine of the next 10 -- Jets vs. Pats to clear space for Lombardi Trophy.

Pats 45, Jets 3 -- Terror at 35,000 feet.

Lose to Dolphins -- Jets postseason a fantasy.

Beat the Steelers at Heinz Field -- all right stop right there; don't even try to tell me what that means. For the time being I'm going to defer to Ryan Clark, whose ringing observation 20 minutes after the Jets walked out of Pittsburgh a winner for the first time ever -- yeah, ever -- couldn't have been more pointed.

"All we needed was one play!" said the Steelers safety.

While I realize Troy is the biggest part of our D and the biggest playmaker hands down, this D is good enough to win without him for a couple of games and fell miserably short yesterday. Not stopping the Jets on 50% of their 3rd and 4th downs, very little pressure on Sanchump and some missed tackles all spell disaster.

Good teams (and units) overcome adversity. Yesterday, our D did not.

Neither did our offense. While they scored offensive points yesterday, they didn't do what they're suppose to do when it matter most. A lot of dropped balls and tentative running!
