Bills, Vikings, Broncos, Lions, Browns and now Bengals are some of the "tough" competition the Jets have faced this year.

Pittsburgh is 2-3 against teams over .500 so I guess they aren't really that good either. The Pats are 3-1 against over .500 teams. I really wish the Jets had lost to the Browns instead of a good team, because apparently losing to bad teams doesn't hurt your reputation. Also, the Jets beat the Patriots and were in all of their games against the better teams. They got blown out by no one. Falcons are 3-2 against .500 teams. Saints are 2-1 against .500 teams. They are lucky too, because they lost to 2 bad teams and by your logic those don't tarnish your reputation. By the way Jets and Pats have same schedule and same record. The Jets haven't played the Steelers yet and the Pats haven't played the Packers yet. It's pretty much a wash. I think the fact that no one has a great record againt the other elite teams goes to show you that maybe there's some sort of parity at the top of the league.
