Jets 19 Bills 13: O Darrelle Revis We Stand on Guard for Thee

As I predicted, if Fitzpatrick insisted on throwing to Owens, he would get picked off. Except for that one play, Sheppard was solid against Evans as well.
Hats off to the defense for shutting down the Bills for the whole second half, with only 4 first downs and less than 50 yards. Ellis’ sacks in particular came at crucial times, effectively keeping the Bills from even starting drives. Jackson was basically turned into a non-factor, and the Bills didn’t have the sense to give the ball to Lynch more or to try passing to running backs.
As to the offense, they did a good job of ball control, although in the second half they didn’t produce much. Clemens was obviously rusty and hesitant. Thank God for D’Brickashaw recovering that fumble, otherwise the game might have come out differently.
For a second straight game, the Jets have seen that if Sanchez doesn’t have a spectacular day, it won’t wreck the team. Let’s hope his knee heals quickly.
For a first round draft pick, I would recommend getting a game-breaking wide receiver who will remind us of Wesley Walker and Al Toon. Cotchery is solid but doesn’t have many big games, Edwards hasn’t been consistent, and the others are just backups.

Season ain’t over yet. Maybe with a little luck it will go somewhere. The Jets flat out need to play better if such is to happen. Harris and Revis are the only ones really exempt from that statement. Both will go to the pro bowl barring major setbacks.

Once again, so many things are working against Revis for DPOTY. Sharper is a well rounded vet probably in the ending stretch of his football career and on the verge of smashing season records. He is leading a defensive squad to homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.

Most voters likely won’t consider a consistent shutdown corner when comparing his season to standout stats like the ones Sharper will have put up barring a massive meltdown. Never mind that most other coaches in 2010 would almost certainly take Revis, or that he is playing the best coverage in the NFL far and away these days. These things don’t translate that well onto paper and even if, subjectively, Revis is deserving of the award they will vote Sharper.

Ellis I’m waffling on. He has his flashes but I’m not sold off of what is produced against Buffalo’s offensive line these days. But maybe he can pick up some slack at the line in the massive void left where our boy Jenkins once stood. He’s good to have down the stretch.

I have nothing to say about Sanchez as long as Clemens is on the roster. Clemens is a nice guy I always wanted to develop but there’s a reason he always played second banana when it came time to choose the starter and it was evident tonight. Compare the way the two players handled the constant pressure of Schobel and friends, never mind Clemens disastrous stats and embarrassing performance. compare the contrast in how the two managed the offensive game. It’s time for Kellen to try to find work elsewhere. Sanchez is a brave man and it will knock him off the field at least a few times in his career. We need a vet we can rely on to fill the gap when called upon, like a Batch or Carr type player. I don’t know who though.

Braylon has brick hands and the pass hitting him in the head will haunt us in clip form for years to come. We had to expect dropped passes and he usually makes up for it. His production is complimented by his crucial role in the offense, opening up other receivers.

The Jets played a well rounded game, but they were lucky to be playing the Bills. It’s acceptable to an extent but isn’t going to cut it against the teams we need to run the table on, excluding Tampa.

I’m excited, but I love football even when the Jets aren’t in it. Here goes everything.

First of all it’s so frustrating to see Sanchez continue to ignore the teaching and go head first. Rex seemed genuinely annoyed at him in the post game press conference and I’m not surprised, Rex knows the deal, he knows what he has back-up wise and knows that without Sanchez there is a good chance this season will plummet. Especially after Sanchez had been showing signs of improvement.

Braylon’s drop was just a terrible on by epic proportions, but he made up for it, and few receivers in the game could of made the two plays he did later in the game. He is as tough as nails, and really liking his and Cotchery’s play, when Sanchez improves and we start to give him more freedom we should be in a great position.

Revis is just an amazing talent, a once in a lifetime type player, NFL had a little highlight package just on him after the game, and just to really focus in on his instincts, his quickness, and how he always seems to know the receivers moves, well it was awesome and if you didn’t see it, get on NFL.com and watch it. This is what happens when you combine great athleticism with a great work ethic, who studies his film adamantly. We are lucky to have the guy, and the sooner we start talking extension with him the better.

Offensive line was great, running backs were great, defensive line was good, Scott and Harris were very active in the middle. Not even going to mention anything on the Smith/Rhodes debate.

We are still in there fighting tough, let’s hope Sanchez is ready to go, luckily we have a long rest now.

No way.

Let’s just watch them beat up on each other, and hope for the best scenario once it’s over.

I’ve been ready for E.A. to take over at QB for over a year
