This is a big game for the Jets. Asside from the fact that 9-4 vs. 8-5 is a huge difference in the standings (with New England and Miami on the Jets' tail), the Jets need to restart the momentum that carried them through 5 straight wins.
As for the particulars of the Jets' game plan:
To start with, the 49ers have beat no one good in their 4 wins. They beat Seattle when the Seahawks were missing their entire offense due to injury, they beat the Bills with Losman for the second half (Edwards got hurt half way through - this is their best win) and then 2 wins against the Rams and Lions respectively (or lack their of since both teams are horrendous!)
Ok, so here we go...
Offensively, the Jets should start things off with the run. Marshawn Lynch (granted that he is a bit better than Thomas Jones) ran all over the 49ers last week. This team loves giving up massive runs and the Jets must take advantage!
Defensively, with no QB to throw the ball around, the Jets should put the pressure (for the first time in ages - for some reason a few weeks ago the Jets stopped using pressure - I don't know why?). Piling 8 guys into the box is not a bad idea either - considering how pathetic the Jets run defense was last week.
As for a Prediction: Jets 34 49ers 7

Clearly this isnt the same team that beat the pats and the titans, its the team that lost to the raiders broncos and almost lost to the chiefs.
ReplyDeleteU can officially kiss the first round bye away and maybe the playoffs
well yaros if u thought the jets thought the denver game was monday night lastweek.....they thought this week was a bye....not even the team pilot showed up today
ReplyDeleteI excused last week for a combination of inevitable letdown mixed with awful field conditions. NO EXCUSES TODAY - they should have crushed SF. Awful, awful all around game.
