Well last year's team wasn't as bad as the record for one thing. They just had really really poor coaching. They lost 7 games by 3 points or less, so it wasn't like they were getting humiliated....just poor play calling and no motivational skills from the coach.
2nd thing, Parcells rebuilt the lines in one offseason. It's the most important part of the football team (sans the quarterback) and most overlooked by fans.
Jake Long, Left Tackle, 1st pick in the draft. 2nd and 3rd round picks were D-lineman....traded for a nose tackle from Dallas and signed an offensive guard from SF.....BAM....respectable lines on both sides of the ball.
We would have been a 4 or 5 win team this year but then Chad Pennington fell into our laps when the Jets got Favre. That was the one thing nobody expected.
He's the best QB we've had since Marino retired (and I think we've had 7+ since then)
