Simijet Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 With a forecast of snow showers for Sunday, I was wondering if any of you has seen how Fitzpatrick handles cold, wet weather. I feel the Jets are definitely the better team, but I also know that snow can be the great equalizer, and am hoping it won't take away the passing game too much. Anyone thoughts???

Jetsfan80 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Well the 2nd best season of his career came in Buffalo in 2012, where he had 3 solid seasons. So I can't imagine the cold/bad weather is a huge problem for him. I know our resident Bills fans have stated he struggles late in seasons, but who knows if that will translate to Sunday. Let's run the ball down their throats anyways; we're due for a big day on the ground. Even if Powell and Ivory are both banged up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, we should do the same thing we have been doing these past five games. If it's not broke don't fix it. We have been airing it out well. We need to play aggressive and beat the little fight out that buffalo does have. If we can keep Fitz hot and throwing 3 TD's a game riding into the playoffs it will help out chances of hanging in there with teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powpow Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 33 degress and snow showers in Buffalo on Jan 3 2016 is hardly 'inclimate weather'. More like a day at the beach for Buffalonians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having lived in Buffalo and having shoveled my neighbors out of snow storms on many occasions, this current forecast would be an insult to most in Western New York as being bad "weather".

AFJF Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fitz used to drive us crazy because he was known to play 3 great quarters but then throw the horrible interception at the end of the game that sealed our fate. Intellectually he was and still is one of the best QB's in the game but his arm was the issue and that's why I never figured he would be anything more than a journeyman in this league. That was clearly evident late in games when he had to bring the offense back with limited time on the clock and it required him to throw deeper passes. This was always a recipe for disaster with Fitz in Buffalo... in any weather. And then I saw him do this in Tennessee and in Houston and I expected him to do the same thing on the Jets because it became a reputation at that point, but I'll be the first to admit his game has improved this season and I think having Decker & Marshall certainly helps. They can fight for the ball and essentially bail him out a lot of the time and turn it into a great positive play. Also helps that he's not having to force throws to meh NFL receivers because his defense is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Actually the forecast is not for inclement weather as per accuweather: 35 degrees with a couple of snow showers. That doesn't sound terrible for a January day in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Fitz played his college years in Mass, 1 year in Cinci and a bunch of years in Buffalo. So he has basically spent much of his career playing in the cold so I doubt the projected weather for Sunday will be a problem, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can keep Fitz hot and throwing 3 TD's a game riding into the playoffs it will help out chances of hanging in there with teams. Agree 100% Keep being aggressive, especially with Dareus and Mario scheduled to play but Gilmore out. Right off the bat I'd call a slant play to Decker or Marshall to set the tone of this game!! Buffalo will want to make Fitz win this game and that is exactly what he will do. He gets the Jets single season TD record(currently tied) and the yards passing record (283 yards IIRC) If he gets these records and Ivory/Powell can run for 100+ and a 1+ TD we'll win this game 30-17. With Gilmore(#1 CB) out... Marshall/Decker/"Q" dominate. This from Bowles job interview with Jets(Kelly's post) (Casserly)"And then I asked him to give me a speech he would make to the Jets when he took over the team.“He went in there and said, ‘All right men, we’re going to throw the ball 27 times in the first half, and we’re not going to throw it at all in the second half.’ The point is he was giving a vision of what he wanted with the team. This is how we’re going to operate.” That say's it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recipe for disaster would be a conservative "ground and pound" game plan. If it's not too windy, Jets need to play on offense with a sense of urgency and attack. Limit the negative plays where the Ivory run is telegraphed. Mix it up...obviously...but Id lead with the pass...given acceptable weather. Get Powell involved as much as possible...if he's ok to go. The man has been dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if the light has finally gone off for him, or if Marshall and Decker is the difference, but he's playing much smarter this year than he ever has in his career. Especially since the first two games after he broke his thumb. He's been playing out of his mind during this winning streak. Neither he nor Marshall have ever been to the playoffs. Thinking they really want to change that on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Rex Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 With a forecast of snow showers for Sunday, I was wondering if any of you has seen how Fitzpatrick handles cold, wet weather. I feel the Jets are definitely the better team, but I also know that snow can be the great equalizer, and am hoping it won't take away the passing game too much. Anyone thoughts??? The defense will step up and keep the game close and Fitzy will not make the crucial mistake, but will instead make the big play. I am excited about this opportunity, but don't feel overconfident either. I trust in Fitz and that faith has gotten the Jets to 10 wins and will get them to 11.

Terrible weather is 25 feet of snow, - 35 and your lips getting stuck together if you try to talk.
