So much for looking forward to football season

Impotent offense? Dubious coaching moves? Season-ending injuries? And here I thought watching the Jets opener would be a welcome change from the Mets.

The last time the Jets were coming off of a trip to the AFC title game, Vinny Testaverde went down for the year early in the first game. Yesterday, it was Kris Jenkins’ turn. At least Johan Santana is definitely coming back, though it’s unknown how good he will be. Jenkins’ career could be over.

So far, Antonio Cromartie remind me of Jason Bay – big-name acquisition, small-time production.

Kyle Wilson makes me think of Jenrry Mejia – highly touted rookie not ready for a leading role.

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and Jerry Manuel both sound good on TV. But when it comes to strategy… How do you not have Mark Sanchez at least try to throw against the Ravens’ depleted secondary?

Though I’m a diehard Jet fan, even before last night I agreed that the Jets talk way too much for a team that has not been to the Super Bowl in over four decades. But now Squawker Lisa tells me that the Jets’ bluster has some of our Boston readers actually hating the Jets more than the Yankees.

Well, at least one of my teams is beating the Yankees at something.
