Any fan of the New York Jets has to be feeling pretty good about their team right now.

The Jets seem to be a completely new team post-Mangini, and their 2-0 start has the city of New York buzzing about the new and improved New York Jets.

The Jets looked great during the first week of football, with a big win in Houston over the Texans. Entering week 2, the Patriots were a heavy favorite vs. New York and were expected to beat the Jets, as they ordinarily do in New York. Tom Brady had beaten the Bills the week before, and with an effective drive in the final two minutes of the game, brought the Patriots to victory.

The New York Jets were prepared to show New England that a new team was in the building. The defense absolutely shut down the Pats' offense. Tom Brady had his first game without throwing a TD in almost four years, and lost his first game during the regular season since the end of the 2006 season.

Personally, I've never seen a Jets defensive unit that looked this great. I know that Rex Ryan gets all of the credit in Baltimore for what he did with the Ravens defense, but I never fully believed it. Now I'm starting to see that he's for real, as is rookie QB Mark Sanchez.

For the first time in a few seasons, I'm really excited to be a Jets fan. This is one of those seasons that could bring us a solid run in the playoffs.
