Me too. I'm not so worried, they played with some fire in Houston and their schedule is nothing special in the coming months. Honestly, the Packers, the Saints, and the Colts are the only really rough teams left in the schedule. I know they can beat the Redskins, Eagles are fucked, and the Giants haven't looked very good either.  

With their defense and running game, I see no real issues otherwise. Romo draws alot of hate but Miles Austin makes a good QB WR tandem, one of the best in the league if you ask me. If Dez Bryant steps up outside of special teams and Roy Williams makes something happen, I think they'll at least pull off one playoff win this year.

I fail to see why stating that the Pats CAN win the AFC East is such a bold statement. They've done it many a time before. I didn't say they will, just saying they are my pick. Even after losing to the Jets. And losing Randy Moss to the Vikings.

(note the use of boldness)

Most people would say the Jets are the favorites, and I would love for the Jets to win that division, like they did last year.  All the same, the Pats have 3 Super Bowl wins this decade for a reason. 

I like to swim against the stream.  Even though I would root for the Jets over the Pats, I'll pick the Pats any day of the week, in any game this season. 

I think the Jets are poised for a let-down season after all the hype this year.  Whever teams are overhyped they usually under-deliver. That is why I wont pick them.  I'll still root for them though.
