[Bills @ Dolphins this Sunday]

Probably more Jet fans if they played in Miami including me.. Although who knows we seem to have a fair amount of jet fans in the United Kingdom..

Sadly we've got a fair few Phin fans here too. 

[Kam Chancellor ends holdout with Seahawks; returns to practice]

So he sits out the two game road trip against tough opposition ... and comes back in time to face a pathetic Chicago team, starting Luke McCown, at home.

I'm sure he'll be the real reason they start winning this week ... 

[Demarco Murray left practice early today]

This just shows how dangerous our D is ... guys get injured just watching us on film! 

[Jets biggest movers in NFL power rankings]

Assuming Sheldon is in shape not sitting on the couch rolling up some fat blunts.

Sheldon doesn't roll blunts.

He has a 12 year old assistant to do that for him.

[It's Nice Having CBs Again.]

Agree.

They got no sacks, but hit Luck 11 times (I looked it up).  That kind of pressure leads to bad throws, and with real corners, that leads to turnovers.

The Gilchrist INT was a direct result of major pressure on Luck ... he was still backpedalling, let it go high, didn't get to follow through.

Hoping for more of the same against Philly this weekend. 

[Eric Decker Injury Update]

Could be a problem with the short week this week ... don't want to rush him. But at least it doesn't sound serious.

[Which 0-2 teams have most to worry about?]

Ouch - didn't know about Alonso. 

And yeah, Mathis must have a bit of schadenfreude going on right now.

[Major opportunity early for the Jets.]

I think one key thing is that we can't get behind early ... this isn't the sort of game you want to be playing catch up and having to get away from our strength (run game).

Conversely if we can get an early lead, it means we can play keep ball, make Luck take his shots and hope to capitalise on mistakes / trying to do too much.

Jets need to be patient and disciplined. Two things we're not used to under Rex (especially disciplined!) but I'm seeing under Bowles. Last week's team just looked so much more focussed and alert - reacting to events quickly and decisively (McCown fumble recovery had three Jets all over it, Marshall strip was amazing heads up, to name a couple of plays) and the penalty count speaks for itself.

 

[Which 0-2 teams have most to worry about?]

Quite a few surprise teams at 0-2, which do you think has most to worry about?

(Hopefully in less than 24 hours the answer is "Indy"! )

Philly were expected to do big things, but look in disarray. Seattle can recover IMHO, they've lost to St Louis lots before, GB is never going to be easy, so not overly shocked by this; plus both games were on the road. Baltimore have to be concerned, especially having lost Suggs for the year and getting 37 points put past them by Oakland. (Their next 3 games are against divisional opponents, starting w. Cincy this Sunday). NO were always a so-so team in a weak division; Detroit is a bit of a worry but have had two road games so far. Houston, Chicago, Gints probably aren't surprises to anyone (not even their own fans!).

 

 

[Major opportunity early for the Jets.]

Hopefully this week reminds every Jet player of one simple fact - last week don't mean sh*t!

Colts lost? So what. Jets won? So what. Doesn't affect this week at all.

Only thing I would say is, Colts are under more pressure - losing is a major set back for them, much more so than for us. They're supposed to win; they're supposed to be real contenders. We're supposed to lose, we're just there to make up the numbers.

[JN Survival pool - I set one up for us. free]

Week 2?  That's the earliest I've ever been bounced.  

Thanks Obama

Thanks Idzik

Thanks Sean Payton, Drew Brees and that whole whacky gang of 'Aints.

over and out!  

 

 

You are not alone ... I think just under 50% of ALL players took NO this week. 

Including me. 

[1PM Game Threads]

Me, and about a billion other people, need them to for our survivor pools.

 

F...missed XP.

Myself included!

At least with the missed XP they have to go for a TD now, no FGs to tie (not trusting their kicker AT ALL).

[1PM Game Threads]

Lol ... Tampa trying their best to give the game away.

[JN Survival pool - I set one up for us. free]

Looks like the Saints are going to kill off survival pools worldwide today. 

[Ex-ref was once 'suspicious' of Pats' Jim McNally, reported him to NFL [and NFL did nothing]]

It would be interesting to see game stats for all the games this guy did up at Foxboro, compared to the other crews. Especially fumble stats.

[Tailgating at Wembley]

They drive on the wrong frigging side of the road. Crossing streets on foot is dangerous enough

Given how Geno struggled with the West Coast trip last year, best hope they don't let him out at all - he could get himself run over!

(That's assuming he even makes the trip ... ).

[Tailgating at Wembley]

One last thing ... after the Jets game, the 1PM US games should be starting up soon after (6PM local time), so it'd be worth knowing where you're heading afterwards if you want to watch these (followed by the 4PM / 9PM local time games). I imagine plenty of places will be showing them, to cash in on the 70,000 or so fans in the city at the time.

[Tailgating at Wembley]

Another thing to bear in mind ... fans will be there that follow all sorts of NFL teams. (Yes, there'll be plenty of Patsie fans ...). You'll probably see shirts from the old NFL Europe league too, plus university / UK league teams. It ain't like your usual home / away game that's for sure. 

[Tailgating at Wembley]

This should give an idea of what's available officially ...

http://www.nfluk.com/events/fan-plaza.html

But basically, you can't just turn up with your own BBQ and start cooking food / drinking beer. We don't have huge car parks at the stadiums like in the US (public transport is the main way to get to the games). Plus cooking / drinking in public will no doubt contravene numerous NFLs (No Fun Laws )

There's a good forum on nfluk.com that specifically covers the International Series games : http://forum.nfluk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22

Hopefully it'll give a flavour of what they're like.

[Jets Waive Oday Aboushi]

lol

The only question is: why didn't they do it sooner?

I wondered this too. Only conclusion I came up with was that they kept him around in case anyone got injured Week 1. No one did so he's out the door.

[Wilkerson coming off the field on 3rd down]

Let's bear in mind he was out for quite a bit of camp with a hamstring ... Rotating him out is probably not a bad idea early on.

[the hit on mccown]

Looking at the video again, I'd bet the concussion came more from how McCown hit the ground, than from the hit from Davis. His head really comes down hard.

[NFL injuries affecting all the teams]

Terrell Suggs out for the year too. That's a huge blow for Balt.

[NFL gives IK 4 game ban for improving Jets QB situation]

Since when does the NFL suspend players for stuff that happened with in the team? And he's on the practice squad anyway. 

First, he'll lose 4 weeks money. Might not be a big deal, but it's something.

Second, why have a guy on your practice squad that can't practice? Bills might cut him, at least for the four weeks of his suspension.

[The Jets are Heading to London…Will you be Joining Them?]

I already have my tickets but looked last night out of curiosity...prices are wide-ranging but there are some better deals than I remember seeing a few months ago.

I think these will be unsold / unallocated season tickets, or something like that. Since the initial sale in January all I've seen has been secondary market tickets where they want 3x face value.
