The Jets were ranked between 20-25th in both offense and defense. This is one of the worst playoff teams ever who had the benefit of a very soft schedule. Look at some of the teams they beat: Green Bay, Miami, Oakland, Buffalo...
Pats win going away.

Wasn't Green Bay 8-8. 2 of the teams you named were division opponents. The Jets played in the toughest record wise division in the AFC. So basically they got in the playoffs because they got to play Oakland???
The Jets made the playoffs because they made clutch plays, were well coached, and had excellent special teams. Defensive and Offensive ranking isn't the only measure of a football team. This game is not as statistically clear cut as baseball is. The coachign and play calling matters.

Yeah that was a moronic post. The Jets play 14/16 games the same as the Pats. The difference in the schedule was the Pats played Cincy and Denver, while the Jets played Cleveland and Oakland.
Granted the Jets should win both of those, they split them, but they didnt even need the Oakland win to make it in, so Pats fans cant say anything about the schedule unless they want to start talking about their own soft schedule/inflated record. Cincy and Denver weren't exactly powerhouses this season.
