PatsFanTX Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 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. The Jets have a top 3 defense AND a top 10 offense? Do you watch the games or just read meaningless stat lines after 3 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm 3-0 thus far on my Preseason predictions. This week, I sadly go 3-1. I predicted we would beat the Lions. But we won't. Same story as last two weeks.....our O can't score (enough) and our D (backs) simply cannot stop the pass. D-line will continue to do their best, it won't be enough. Jets fall, 31-16, Geno with two INT and a fumble, and the calls for Vick (which won't happen) start in earnest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm making a rare appearance at Giants Stadium II. Pretty much a guaranteed loss. I don't know how much faith you want to put in it but fivethirtyeight's ELO article has this game as a pick em. Vegas has the Jets getting 2 points. Whatever's gonna happen, it will probably be close. Have fun Slats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay_gee Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Winters better step up his game if/when Suh lines up over him. on the other hand, if Suh stomps on his face, his season may be over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I watch the games, AND read stat lines. and, go **** yourself. Top 3 defensive teams do not blow 21-3 leads. Top 10 offensive teams do not go 1-6 in the red zone nor choke an opportunity from inside the 10 yard line to send a game into overtime. Those rankings are nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

RutgersJetFan Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 +1 Winters struggled to block Stephen Paea, who is terrible. I'm shuddering thinking about what Suh and Fairley will do to us. This one could get real ugly real quick. I still think he's lost a step but lost in the dumpster fire Mangold has been having a pretty solid year. He's like our Obi Wan on offense.

houyx Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Stafford can be as turnover prone as our QB's - can we win that battle. That's true but the Jet's CB's have stone hands. They can't catch crap. 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? On Defense, Rex doesn't emphasize creating turnovers as much as he should. When multiple tacklers are going after a ball carrier (RB, WR, Returner, QB, whatever), the 2nd defender should almost always be aggressively trying to strip the ball (if coming from the front or side) or punch the ball out (if coming from behind or the side) . I didn't see it happen once during the Chicago game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do. Yes they did. Maybe*, maybe not. *The rankings are based on yardage (allowed and gained) and are cumulative. At the end of the day 1-2 is all that matters, but it certainly helps to know that with some cleaned up penalties and improvements in our turnover ratio we can be competitive in any game we play.

Smashmouth Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Lions play good defense and will probably play great defense against our offense . We do not mathc up well vs this team they simply have way to many skill players and will exploit the hell out of us. This game has total blowout written all over it.

NJ Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Stafford can be as turnover prone as our QB's - can we win that battle. Fact - We can pressure this guy into doing some real stupid stuff and he's very capable of it. Geno and his band of pass catchers need to have their act together as running on these guys is like running on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think the real question is how will the Jets lose. My guess is that this week, Saalim Hakim will have a kick return for a TD that will then be brought back because it turns out the play was whistled dead because one of the referees thought a tissue blew onto the field 50 yards behind Hakim (even though it didn't).

Klecko73isGod Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 This is too good not to share and sums up my feeling exactly - "Lions at Jets: You ever go to some hotel restaurant and the menu has 5,000 items, including lots of exotic sh*t that you know the chef probably can't pull off, but you still order the half-wagyu Korean taco slider anyway because it sounds different and good, and then it comes and it SUCKS and you're like, "sh*t. I should have just had a burger"? That is what Marty Mornhinweg's play-calling is like." - Drew Magary on Deadspin http://deadspin.com/why-football-players-crave-contact-1638649411 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It's a pretty bad matchup and these injuries could really hurt us. Will be interesting to see how we cover Johnson, I imagine we'll just absolutely load up on him and he'll still probably have a huge game. Really awful game for Milliner to come back into after his horror-show against Green Bay. I think he'll sit. If Mangold doesn't play Geno wont last the first half. The game will be on Geno and Rex. We're not going to run on them and we're going to give up some points in the passing game and the inevitable bizzare mistakes/penalties (I almost look forward to see how creative they'll be this week). Geno will have to keep up. If Decker's not ready I don't see us winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
