Week 17: Jets' Game Preparation - Inactives Announced

[26CornerBlitz]

Jets Move On to Play the Bills, With Layer Upon Layer of Intrigue

By BEN SHPIGEL NY Times



The Jets’ schedule was revealed, perused and then deconstructed, and what seemed predestined back in April — it had to, it had just had to — became undeniable on Sunday: that somehow, some way, a playoff berth would hinge on the outcome of their final game.

At Buffalo.

Against Rex Ryan.

Except that the Bills have been eliminated. The Jets most certainly have not.

After beating the New England Patriots in overtime, the Jets are 10-5 and aiming for their first six-game winning streak in 17 seasons.

To secure their first postseason spot since 2010, when Ryan led them to their second consecutive A.F.C. championship game, they must win again Sunday. Other results would guarantee the Jets passage — one loss by Pittsburgh or two by Denver — but none would be as fulfilling, or delicious, as avenging November’s defeat and celebrating on the field at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

[Stads]

I think the big question regarding this game is who gets more receptions: Greg Salas or Leonard Hankerson?

Salas has assumed Robert Woods' role as the blocking WR, so I'll guess Hankerson.

The Bills played an NFL high 8 (50%) games against playoff teams through week 17.

@AllbrightNFL

Tyrod Taylor has been a top QB this year, and no one seems to have noticed.

This is the main reason I'm not locking the Jets into the playoffs yet. Not Rex.

@Gil_Brandt

2015 Bills have best total offense and best scoring offense of any Rex Ryan-coached team. They also have worst total defense coached by Ryan

[4merper4mer]

I saw a headline reading:

 

"Jets on the verge of playoffs with Rex Ryan standing in the way".

 

Is that a new headline or has it been recycled for 5 years in a row now?

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

If the weather is lousy - this game can sway either way. It'll play to each teams strength - us running, and them stopping the run. Could be interesting to watch at least.

 

Also covers up our biggest weakness in defending downfield passes. But stops our big plays on offense and stacks the box.

 

Could be a messy one. Hopefully if we can get a lead, roman just puts his foot on the gas and keeps at em. We have let leads slip away all year long trying to get cute.

Mike Tomlin on getting Rex Ryan and the Bills' aid: "Certainly Rex is a guy I consider a friend... But I won't be calling him this week."

@SalSports

With Bills/Jets still Sunday at 1pm on CBS, it'll be Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts, and Evan Washburn (sidelines) calling the finale.

Bills move CB Ron Brooks, TE Charles Clay to I-R

The Bills opened up two roster spots by placing CB Ron Brooks and TE Charles Clay on the reserve/injured list.

 

[CardinalScotts]

Fitz and Gailey vs Rex

 

History favors Rex by a significant margin

Fitz difference is their defense if he turns it over they get it back 3 plays later not go down and score like the buffalo days. He still takes chances still makes great throws and bad ones......his defense backs him up.

 

that said Bills 27-20

[YoloinOhio]

I wonder if they will re-sign Mulligan.

 

They need him for the coin toss, at least.
