Some losses are harder to take than others.

For the Jets, Monday night's season-opening loss to the Ravens is one of those losses.

I know it's only one game, but the loss comes after an offseason in which Gang Green spent the majority of their time puffing out their chests and telling the rest of the NFL just how good they were going to be this season.

Mark Sanchez looked like he should be holding a clipboard rather than running an offense. The Jets' secondary, with the exception of Darrelle Revis, looked ordinary at best. And perhaps worst of all, defensive lineman Kris Jenkins is now lost for the season with a torn ACL in his knee.

Not exactly the way the Jets wanted to open their new stadium and it doesn't get any easier from here.

Here's hoping for a quick turnaround.

By the way, did you see how my Super Bowl picks did in Week 1? Great start for me, too, don't you think?
