Maybe it’s an illusion but this year’s Jets feel like a more solid contender than we’ve seen in previous seasons, even though they have been pretty good for a couple of years now. It’s more like watching Boston or Pittsburgh where, year after year, it doesn’t seem to matter who the players are ... if you put on those uniforms you go out and win. Laine has grown up immensely, even his accent has almost disappeared... maybe he’ll follow Teemu as a sensational scorer to begin with who then developed into a more all-round star. Ehlers is the same ... what a transformation.
