The Lions' secondary blows and losing Tulloch is a big blow to that defense. Suh/Fairly might feast on the interior OL a week after the Ts took a beating.

 

Jason Babin seems primed for a big game. The Packers were as scared of him as they were anyone else, at least they held him as if he was Wilkerson or Richardson. He and DeMario Davis have played really well with this DL, and I'd like that to start resulting in splash plays. I'd like those plays to be OK with the refs and their bosses/bookies/whoever.

Sigh. No prediction from me as I predicted Jets 28 Bears 19 and it turned out almost opposite Bears 27 - Jets 19. I see the Lions D line creating huge problems for the O-Line. Winters better man up because he will be the focal point of that Lion attack.

 

Megatron is going to get his yards. The key is can you force Stafford into bad throws and can our CBs actually catch an errant ball.

 

On Offense, Geno will need to get the ball out quick and our WRs have to get some separation.

 

It may be a long day...again.

Stafford can be as turnover prone as our QB's - can we win that battle.

 

You can say it every week, but winning the turnover battle usually means winning the game.  Since Rex took over, Jets are 30-4 when winning the turnover battle; 8-33 when losing it and 9-5 when TOs are the same.  Problem is that we have only won the turnover battle 13 times since the end of 2010.  13 times in 51 games (we are 12-1 in those 13 games).

 

Force turnovers; don't turn the ball over ourselves and we should win.  Its that simple, but it why does it always seem so hard to do?

Here's a good stat the Give-take (turnover differential)

 

http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/givetake/sort/giveInterceptions

 

There are only 6 teams in the league without recording an interception on defense. The Jets are one of those. They are tied for the league lead with 4 interceptions on offense.

One of the other teams is the Saints fwiw. Jets for whatever reason have struggled forcing turnovers under Rex, especially since 2011. 3 and outs are great..turnovers win games though. It's tough to win every game when the offense is starting every drive off of a punt or kickoff.

Observations:

 

Both of these teams have a top-three defense. Both excel at stopping the run.  Both teams have a top-ten pass defense.

 

But of the two, only the Jets have a top-ten offense, and they have scored more points per game than Detroit has. 

 

Yet, every Jets fan is up in arms over how defeated we are. 

 

weak.
