Jets Game Huge!

The Jets are in the middle/end of a skid that any Jets fan was not surprised would come. The bottom line is that every game from now on is do-or-die. A loss to a divisional team that has not scored a TD in 8 quarters would A) be an embarrassment (not that the last 2 losses were not) B) be murderous to the Jets' playoff chances.

Here is how I envision is going down...
-the Jets secondary will probably give up a ton of passing yards to a bad QB...again!
-the front 7 will stop the run...again!
-the offense will need to power rush...again!
-the Jets receivers need to find a way to get open...which they have not done!

The bottom line key for the Jets is - speed and will. Those 2 things are most important in 2 aspects of the game, getting open as a receiver and rushing the passer. Trent Edwards will not be playing on Sunday; therefore, JP Losman should have an absolute bull's eye on his back. Blitzes, stunts, bull rushes - anything and everything should be used to put the guy on the ground!



The wide outs just need to get open. The last 2 weeks have been rough and quite honestly, Thomas Jones has looked stellar - or "stella (silent R) in the words of Joe Benigno - it is the receivers that have made the offense stagnant.

I do expect the Jets to win this game simply based on the fact that the Bills offense is awful and that I will be at the game and a very unhappy gentleman if they lose!

Prediction: Jets 24 Bills 10

  1. I was at the Broncos game and believe me, the fact that you'll be an unhappy gentleman won't be the thing to stop them from losing...badly...even if you shlepped out in the freezing rain to be there...
