What a difference a week makes.

This time a week ago, all the pro football talk in this area was about which team is better — the Giants or the Jets. Entering their bye week, the Giants were an impressive 5-1, while the Jets. coming off a bye week, were an equally impressive 5-1.

All I heard on sports radio was what the league would do if both teams hosted its conference championship. Would they play at 1 and 8? Would they play Saturday and Sunday? Would they play Sunday and Monday?

Where would the parade be held? And should both teams take part in it?

After Sunday's Jets' loss to Green Bay, the questions shifted to whether the Jets would still make the playoffs.

The Jets went from heroes to goats in one week. Imagine the talk if the Giants somehow lost to Seattle on Sunday.

My guess is the countdown to spring training would start early.
