I am always amazed at how teams react in similar situations.  At the end of last nights game the Chargers were celebrating their victory as if they had made the playoffs while the Jets seemed to mope around as if they just lost the playoffs.  Both teams had just arrived at the same record of 1-2 on the year, yet their moods were dramatically different.

It reminded me of what my friend JT told me just before the game-that the Chargers needed the win more than the Jets did.  Last night, the showed it, stomping the Jets and showing the world that it was way too early to write them off.

The Jets had no answers for the Chargers offense last night, and if Kris Jenkins misses any significant amount of playing time, this defense is in trouble.  Jenkins showed what he is worth to the team in value in his absence.  The Jets had no sacks last night and gave Chargers quarterback plenty of time to pick apart their secondary, but it doesn't end there.

Farve had two interceptions.  Thomas Jones fumbled once and was contained to 37 total yards of rushing.

Coles, Cotchery and Stucky each had a touchdown reception, and David Barrett picked of the first pass thrown at him on defense, but it was not enough to keep San Diego from running away with the game.

Favre had plenty of time in the pocket to make his throws, but the offense just didn't get the job done.  Not when the defense gives up 49 points.

This weekend, Miami upset the New England Patriots and Buffalo improved to 3-0.  The Jets did little to help their own cause.

Will the Jets get better?

When?

Next up, another chance to improve when the 1-2 Jets face the 2-1 Cardinals at the Meadowlands.  If the Jets should pull out the win we may see another anomaly of tow teams with similar records with opposit reactions.  Who wants it more?

We will find out Sunday.
