Jets-Bills Pre-Game Tweets
Rex said he visited his brother during the bye week. Got some intel on the Bills. — Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) November 11, 2013
Rex Ryan is 1-3 in games after the bye week. Lost last season in Seattle, 28-7. #Jets

David Nelson's quotes make clear that he's the first person in a really long time fired up for a Bills game. — Kevin Clark (@KevinClarkWSJ) November 11, 2013
David Nelson taking the opposite approach of Ivory. Made it clear he wasn't pleased with the way things ended in BUF. Pumped for Sunday.

People are making a big deal out of Jets alternating wins and losses, but it may be as simple as home (4-1) and road (1-3). — Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) November 13, 2013
Good temperature check on Geno/EJ Sunday. Manuel struggled badly in PIT. Geno has done very little positive his last 2 games.

Robert Woods will not play Sunday vs. Jets, Marrone says. "I'm not going to string you guys along all week on him," he says. — Mike Rodak (@mikerodak) November 13, 2013
Most of us already know Woods isn't going to play, but something tells me that Cimini and Costello decided to retweet this tweet in particular due to the Marrone quote.
Geno Smith (-15.1) and E.J. Manuel (-14.7) are the two lowest ranked QBs in the league. #Jets #Bills

Rex playing "us against the world" card hard this year. Opens presser by mentioning Jets were underdogs for ninth time in 10 weeks. — Dan Hanzus (@DanHanzus) November 14, 2013
Fans of narratives are in a win-win situation after the Jets bye week: either the Jets W/L every other game, or Jets win in every odd week.
— Chase Stuart (@fbgchase) November 15, 2013
If Milliner was looking for a breakout game (more so than Week 10), this week is it. Likely to mark Marquise Goodson with heavy safety help. — Mike O'C (@OConnor_Jets) November 15, 2013
Jets can really take advantage of either heavy personnel in the box or constant safety help with the Bills' WRs' injuries. Up to them.
— Mike O'C (@OConnor_Jets) November 15, 2013
Geno has 13 INTs - the Bills secondary has the same number. He must limit mistakes, make sharp passes this week if Jets want to be 6-4. — Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) November 15, 2013
With Garrett McIntyre out, the #Jets are down to only Coples, Pace and Troy Davis as healthy OLBs on roster.

Nelson at the X. Holmes at Z. Salas in the slot. Hill playing situationally. Winslow and Sudfeld in the 2 TE look. Let Geno cook #Jets — Joe Caporoso (@TurnOnTheJets) November 15, 2013

Thoughts on Ed Reed
Obvious question that should have been asked on Reed: "If the Ravens, who know him best, won't sign him, why should we?" Red flag. — Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) November 13, 2013
Reed as robber in passing downs is what makes the most sense IMO. Put him in position to make some plays. #Jets
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) November 14, 2013
Jets DC Dennis Thuman said Jets didn't have to recruit Reed; "Had him at hello." #Jets #NfL — Jane McManus (@janesports) November 14, 2013
Judging by the #Jets fans spamming my mentions, you guys haven't seen Ed Reed play this year.
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) November 14, 2013
@DrewfromJersey Maybe use him as a third-and-long free safety to keep his hip/legs fresh. But that's a stretch even. — Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) November 14, 2013
Reed twice will play vs former team, Ravens, same year, both in Baltimore. Jets vs Ravens wk 12; Texans' 30-9 loss to Ravens, week 3.
— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) November 14, 2013
Rex wins Reed power play. But if Jets lose to Bills, Idzik will smack Rex, send him back to the corner. If Jets lose to Ravens, see ya Rex.

People don't know this as well. The signing is about REX, but it's about the DC as well. Dennis Thurman. Ed's DB coach in Bmore. — Trevor Pryce (@Trevor_Pryce) November 14, 2013
Ed is a coach on the field. The more guys you have like that, the better.
— Trevor Pryce (@Trevor_Pryce) November 14, 2013
Thing to remember with Reed is that he won't be asked to play every down. Rex will define a role for him. Team is pleased with Allen/Landry. — Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) November 14, 2013
Was Ed Reed slow or unmotivated? I have a sneaking suspicion it was more of the latter. Probably a little of both.
— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) November 14, 2013
Love the Ed Reed! Physical skills declining but his football I.Q is second to none! Secondary needs that in the worst way #Jets — Damien Woody (@damienwoody) November 14, 2013

In Week 3 vs. Buffalo, the #Jets rotated Allen and Jarrett as the 2nd safety, they weren't together on the field in any single play.
— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) November 14, 2013
Reed's on-field impact remains to be seen but can't hurt to add proven veteran to a young team searching for identity and consistency. #NYJ — Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) November 14, 2013
Jets made a nice addition to their coaching staff today in Ed Reed.
— Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) November 14, 2013
If you think Ed Reed is still great, you haven't been watching. If you don't think he will make a great play or two, you don't know Ed Reed. — Jerome Solomon (@JeromeSolomon) November 14, 2013
Great point by @MetsJetsNYR RE: Pryce '10/Reed '13 comparison. Pryce graded at -2.4, recorded 2 pressures in 3 games (50 snaps) with Ravens.

I guess the Jets are in a win now mode by signing Ed Reed. He's not the player he use to be. But no true free safety on the roster. #Jets

Ed Reed joins growing list of former #Ravens to play for Rex with #Jets: Scott, Leonhard, Pryce, MDouglas, Mason, Barnes, DLandry. — Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) November 14, 2013
Rex-Idzik in win-now mode. Reed brings leadership, an emotional style of play + SB experience to young #Jets D. If this works, kudos to them
— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) November 14, 2013
If Ed Reed makes just one play to turn a game around this season, this signing will be well worth it. Low-risk/high-reward. Why not? #Jets — Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) November 14, 2013
On Tuesday, I didn't think the #Jets would be interested in Ed Reed. But Rex Ryan pushed hard. By late yesterday, they were all in.

John Idzik was impressed with Ed Reed in a meeting. Not surprising. He's a very impressive guy.
— Dan Leberfeld (@jetswhispers) November 14, 2013
Reasons why Reed makes sense for the #Jets. 1) Reed will be asked to enhance a decent secondary, not be the savior of it. #JetsAndReed — Brian Bassett (@Brian_Bassett) November 14, 2013
2) Jets safeties have lacked scheme versatility all season. Reed allows Landry & Allen/Jarrett to be used more effectively. #JetsAndEdReed
— Brian Bassett (@Brian_Bassett) November 14, 2013
3) There's no downside to signing a former DPOY at that price. Smart player and a perfect scheme fit for Ryan. #JetsAndEdReed
— Brian Bassett (@Brian_Bassett) November 14, 2013
4) Understand physical limitation concerns, but is he any more physically limited than Jim Leonhard or Eric Smith were? NO. #JetsAndEdReed — Brian Bassett (@Brian_Bassett) November 14, 2013
Why do fans assume Ed Reed is going to coach up the Jets' defense? He didn't help Houston's.

Per @pff, Ed Reed is ranked No. 143 among NFL safeties this season. He came in at No. 59 last year. — Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) November 14, 2013

Kicking self over FF decisions that turned out wrong is actually the worst thing you can do. Esp if you let it impact future decisions. — Evan Silva (@evansilva) November 14, 2013
FF just a best-bet game. Cant expect best bet to be right every time. Could be wrong 3 weeks in a row & was still all along the best bet.

Under Armour big timed Nike today with their MapMyFitness acquisition. Fact that it's non exclusive like FuelBand is big idea. — darren rovell (@darrenrovell) November 14, 2013

Relieved to hear Nick Saban landed the nation's No. 1 recruit. Alabama really needed the help. — Bart Hubbuch (@HubbuchNYP) November 14, 2013
It's cute when people who make their living from the over-reporting of NFL news mock the over-reporting of NFL news.

I have Chiefs (9-0) at Broncos (8-1) as 1st game between teams w/<2 losses this late in season since 2007 Packers (10-1) at Cowboys (10-1). — Scott Kacsmar (@FO_ScottKacsmar) November 14, 2013
Big Ben costs PIT just $12.1M next season ($18.9M cap), would take $14M in dead cap to trade him. He is a bargain. Consider this...

The NFL will discuss "expanding the protection" of quarterbacks this offseason. Just make it 7 on 7 and get it over with. — Aaron Nagler (@Aaron_Nagler) November 15, 2013
The 2001 Patriots are the only Super Bowl-winning offense to not score more than 17 points in any game in the postseason.

I see some #Dolphins tweeps freak out now when they hear a player has an "illness" on the injury report.

As long as the playoffs are one-and-done/anything can happen, you'll never see evidence that playing a tough/weak schedule helps/hurts teams — Scott Kacsmar (@FO_ScottKacsmar) November 15, 2013
