BackInDaDay Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 .. we're in bad shape to play the Jets this week. their strengths vs our weakness their D-line is very good, and we're juggling guys on our o-line their coach has a variety of ways to bring pressure, and we're missing our best blitz pickup RB their RBs are very good, and we've just given up our first 100 yd rushing game to who?
Kelly the Dog Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 "hope I'm wrong" is the new "hear me out." But as to your premise, IMO it won't be an easy win but it should be a win. 1] We have faced equal and better DLs in the Lions, Texans, etc. We didn't do well but they are no more of a threat than the Jets. 2] Losing Fred will hurt in blitz pick-up. Bobbie and Brown are better than CJ in there though. Orton is slow, but smart. We are going to get sacked 5+ times and have to live with it. The plays downfield against their weak secondary in the 35 passes we are not sacked on will be the difference. 3] The Jets have one very good back at getting the most yards he can, and hurting people, and effort. CJY2K is not good anymore. They do not have good backs.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Never feel good about playing the Jets on the road, but I like our passing game vs their weak secondary. Hackett is going to have to draw up some quick hitting pass plays to neutralize their pass rush early. We will truly see what Hackett is made of this week.

Where is DaDay?
Kelly the Dog Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I worry more when we face no-name RBs. They do tend to kill us. Of course, before this year, top name backs, middling backs, and no name backs all seemed to kill us.

CJY2K is not good anymore. They do not have good backs. i thought the same about Johnson, until i saw his effort against NE - ran very hard Where is DaDay? right about now she's fixing herself up before making your dinner

We're talking about the 1-6 Jets. Orton has played almost his entire career in Buffalo under constant pressure with no support in the run game. It's not going to suddenly destroy our gameplan in week 8. We had one bad game against the run. Before that we were #1 overall on run defense and even after that game we're top 5. It seems irrational to worry about this. The Jets have a crappy secondary. If anyone should be worried about any matchup this game, Jets fans should be worried about our receivers vs. their secondary. And let's not forget that we're playing Geno Smith. Our Dline is going to devour him and our secondary should be able to get a few picks. Edited October 22, 2014 by TheBillsWillRiseAgain
YoloinOhio Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Which jets player will go down to injury? #billscurse
Big C Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Geno Smith. Remember that shot Geno took from Dareus at the very beginning of our home game last year?

quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I honestly think, based on the past few weeks of how CJ and Fred have performed (read: not outstanding, 96 yds; 49yds; 68yds), you're not going to see a huge dropoff from our RB production, and maybe even an uptick. as for their interior d-line versus our oline, i'm very very worried. the Jets are great at smelling blood in the water and blitzing relentlessly. it's one of the reasons they stayed close with the Pats. and as for us giving up 100yds, it's going to happen. 4 turnovers and you keep throwing the d on the field, it's bound to happen. if we protect the ball better on O, we'll have a better chance of keeping their RBs in check.
Maddog69 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Beating the Jets on the road will be a challenge. Their strengths do match up in their favor to some of our weaknesses but our strengths also match up well to their weaknesses. On a neutral field I think we win this game more often then not, but going to their house gives them the edge. That said, this is another must win game for us. Edited October 22, 2014 by Maddog69
Meark Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Uh.. that no name RB is a beast.. Currently on my fantasy roster and took over as my #1 RB. McKinnon is going to be excellent the rest of the year.
ricojes Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Uh.. that no name RB is a beast.. Currently on my fantasy roster and took over as my #1 RB. McKinnon is going to be excellent the rest of the year. He's a very good back that the Vikings have eased into the NFL. But he's ready to take over the #1 role now.
