Jetsfan80 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 The Jets are +11 in turnover margin. Not sure where that ranks us but it has to be close to the top. Also, the Jets are +54 in scoring margin and have a margin of victory of 10.8, best in the league in both categories. Behind them are the Falcons (+43, 8.6), Steelers (+36, 9.0) and Patriots (+35, 8.8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ILK Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Those 3rd down penalties where we gave the Ravens a fresh set of downs, when they were definitely punting and on that one that turned a field goal into a TD, were essentially turnovers. I know they don't count in the +/- stat, but they caused us to lose that game, even though we won the turnover battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 They said we were best in the league with the +11 Yep one of the most important stats in the game. This is what Pressure defense and a top running game will bring ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 But there's so many flaws! Didn't you see the drops!? Didn't you notice the offense's lack of TDs against the Vikings D? The safeties!? This team is fun to watch, and I'm willing to ride that coaster as long as necessary. This is as close to our year as we'll get for the next couple years IMO.

Irish Jet Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'd say at least 28 teams would trade their situation for ours in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could also be 5-0, Pitt beat them in OT in a very even game. We could be 5-0/3-2, Baltimore and Pittsburgh the same. You make your own luck... Also, it's about situations, is it not? Right now I don't see a team close to them in the NFC. Giants would probably be next. Bears don't impress me at all. The Jets have Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New England, Indy, San Diego etc. Talent wise? Good running game, one of the best young QB's in the game, elite WR/TE, strong defense...There's a lot to like about that team. DOn't think they'd trade places with us, that's all I'm saying.

Irish Jet Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yeah, Colts > Falcons. I don't think I stated otherwise... "28 teams would trade their situation" I'd rather be 4-1 in the NFC South though, than be 3-2 in the AFC South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct, the record is what matters most. I guess what our turnover and scoring margins indicate is that we may well be the best of the 4-1 teams....i.e the best team in the league.

Bruce Banner Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I remember the first sign of USC losing its unbeatable aura during the Pete Carroll era was when their turnover ratio came back down to around zero. All the other stats were holding steady, once the turnover ratio became average they stopped competing for NCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 They mentioned on the broadcast last night, too, that this is the first time since 1986 that the Jets have scored 28 or more in four straight games. While these numbers are great, a team can't rest on them. Balls that bounce well one week month, can bounce the other way the next. Sanchez was fortunate not to throw a couple picks last night, and we saw LT fumble out of bounds the way Shonn Greene did in the opener. Jets won a game last night when they weren't entirely on. Sanchez was erratic, they couldn't score TD's. You let a team hang around like that, and they can steal one from you - and the Vikes almost did. But they got the big TD drive when they had to at the end, and big the pick six to seal the game at the very end. I thought Favre was crying there, which I liked. Championship teams win games like that, SOJ lose. Champions have the ball bounce their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE ILK Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 My point exactly! The only thing you can really tell about the NFC right now is that the West sucks, the Panthers suck, and the Lions, well they are the Lions. Everything else is pretty much still up in the air, despite some bad starts for potentially good teams. Nobody has really showed enough of anything to count out anyone else besides the above mentioned right now, and the West will have a representative by default.

I would not be surprised if the Falcons went 1-4 next 5 games. That goes for the Bears as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
