However, my fantasy team in a 20 team league seemingly mirrored the actual Jets team it was uncanny. Like by some freak of nature naming my team footballjets.com I became bound to feel the excitement and the agony of the actual New York Jets with every win and loss. All season long it was almost totally n’sync with the wins and losses occurring on the field.

NY JETS: WWWLLLWLLLWWWLW

Fantasy: WWLLWLW LLWWWWWLW

Notice we both started strong, tapered off to fall below 500 before coming on strong late only to have a late season disappointment followed up by a spirited win.

My fantasy team had the Jets defense and Jericho Cotchery who I traded away Mark Sanchez for during the middle of the season since I needed wide receiver help and already had Drew Brees as my starting quarterback.

I finished my fantasy season yesterday, finishing in third place. My team made a late rush just to make the playoffs by winning a series of games late in the season to snag the 7th seed (4th overall in scoring), before upsetting one of the top teams in the playoffs (the week the Jets beat Tampa Bay), fizzling in the semifinals (the week the Jets loss to Atlanta) and then winning the consolation game (the week the Jets beat to Indianapolis) to finish in third place.

I would love for the real Jets to make the playoffs and then make some noise in those playoffs.

My team consisted of:

In case your wondering what a 20 team league team looks like mine was Drew Brees, Bernard Berrian, Jericho Cotchery, Houshmandzadeh, Ricky Williams, Darren Sproles, Jason Witten, Nate Kaeding, and the Jets Defense.
