Last week against the Miami Dolphins, the Jets picked up their first sack, turnover, 100-yard rushing performance from Thomas Jones, and most importantly, their first win.

Despite the good feeling when the Jets took a 31-13 lead, the Jet defense went into some sort of comatose, allowing Ronnie Brown to continue to torch the defense on an array of rushes and screens. So, after the late collapse, the Jets do not look like a playoff team yet, but as we saw the first three quarters, this Jet defense has certainly got the ability to play like a playoff team.

Against the Bills this week the Jets have a team on its heels. At 0-3, the season is almost over for Bills fans, and with JP Losman out, Trent Edwards is the starter. Sound anything like a trap game? If the Mangini regime wants to show Jet fans something, they must dominate the Bills the way they should.

When the Jets have the ball:

The struggling Jet offensive line played very well last week, allowing Pennington to make throws and Thomas Jones to make cuts. Jones looked better and better as the game wore on, and his massive stiff-arm in the 4th quarter was a really encouraging sign. D
