Nope, you're not alone. I didn't expect mediocrity, but I expected them to be a little more human. They've been like a machine.
And, as a Jets fan, their performance in 2008 is killin' me.

When you consider that at about this time last season even many (if not most) Giant fans were convinced that they had both the wrong coach and the wrong quarterback to even be a contender much less have a SB run followed by an 11-week stretch where they're a top team in the league, then yeah, I think it's safe to say that there are a lot of people who are surprised.
And then if you told them that they'd do much of this without Barber, Strahan, Shockey and (for the time being) Umenyora ...

Oooh that one's gonna hurt.
The flip side of winning one when you least expect it (see: Giants, NY/J - circa 2007/8) is that it hurts that much more when that kind of season is followed up by losing one many had already penciled (if not penned) into the win column.
Guess the NFL can put their emergency plan for when the Jets & Giants both host conference championships aside for now.

Crummy way to go out, but there are no good ways to go out. Been a while since a team I rooted for (however lightly I root at football relative to baseball) was eliminated in a playoff round while defending a championship. It makes that cold night in Green Bay/on Long Island 51 weeks ago feel that much more immense. Super Bowl XLII, too, I suppose, but I find myself thinking of the NFC Championship and how utterly surprising it was to realize the Giants had won and would be moving on. There was nothing the Giants could do this time around that was going to match that sensation, so this one gets filed under "when's pitchers and catchers...?"
I lean Blue, but I've had plenty of Green moments, and I hope the serious Jets fans get one of what I've been lucky enough to experience three times soon.

Arizona reaching the Supe reduces the number of teams never to reach the final game during the SB era to 5: Browns, Jaguars, Texans, Lions & Saints
Nine others have reached it only once.
Count back the last 43 World Series and you'll find 4 teams (Expos/Nats, Cubs, Mariners & Senators/Rangers) who never got there plus 7 more who made just one trip.
