Lots of numbers this week.

Jets-Bills Post Game Numbers

From the Stats & Info gurus, the last time the Jets had two 100+ yard receivers was Week 12 2006, Jerricho Cotchery and Laveranues Coles.

— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 22, 2013
Take away the fluky 59 yard run from Fred Jackson and the #NYJ defense held Jackson/Spiller to 22 yards on 16 carries. That is stout.

— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 23, 2013
Smith-to-Holmes for 69 yds longest 4thQ/OT TD pass by #Jets since 1996, when O'Donnell hit Graham for 78, per @ESPNStatsInfo.

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
have a situation where Geno could be brought along gradually while still winning games. Believe it or not. #Jets

— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013
Also, 4 plays of 40+ yards for the first time since 1991. All of them came in the passing game. #MartyBall #NYJ

— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 23, 2013
Smith/Holmes, 69 y, 3rd longest go-ahead TD in 4th Q in #Jets history, per @ESPNStatsInfo. Namath/Bell 83 in '72, Robinson/Walker 75 in '78.

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
Sunday's win over the Bills was the first time the Jets had 500 or more yards of total offense since 2000. #nyj

— Erik from @JetsTwit (@e_man) September 23, 2013
Elias confirms that yesterday was the 1st time the Jets had a 300 Yard Passer, 2 100 Yard WRs and a 100 Yard Runner in the same game.

— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) September 23, 2013
Quinton Coples played 66% of snaps (57 of 86) in 1st game back from ankle surgery. Had 3 total tackles, 2 QB hits & 1 tackle for loss. #nyj

— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 23, 2013
Most amazing part of 2-1 start to me is Jets are -6 in turnover margin. Only the Steelers and Giants are worse and both of them are 0-3.

— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
And those two Super Mario sacks came in one game (11/21/10)

— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013
With 226 yards rushing, #Jets' Bilal Powell is 2nd in AFC - 30 yards behind Titans' Chris Johnson.

— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 23, 2013
The multiple offenders: Wilson 5 penalties, Ducasse 4, Coples 2, Wilkerson 2, Holmes 2 #nyj

— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013
#Jets win snapped 5-game losing streak vs. divisional opponents. Have won 7 of last 8 vs. Bills.

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 23, 2013
I missed one 40+ pass from last year when I counted after the game. Jets had 6 last year. 4 yesterday.

— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 23, 2013

#Jets: 7 different players recorded sacks vs. Buff, first time since '82 (when sacks became official stat) they had 7 players in sack column

— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) September 25, 2013

In that game, Namath had passes of 79 & 80 yds to TE Rich Caster, 65 & 42 to WR Eddie Bell and 67 to RB John Riggins.

— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 26, 2013

Jets-Bills Pro Football Focus Numbers

Most yards per route run for the week? Santonio Holmes with 5.92. 2nd Golden Tate with 4.44 and 3rd Antonio Brown with 4.36.

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) September 23, 2013

Perfect QB rating for Geno when throwing to the right 20+ yards: 4-of-4, 205 yards, 2 TDs. Graded +3.3 in that zone of the field. #Jets

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 23, 2013
Tight end roles - Cumberland: 14 passing snaps (12 routes), 34 run blocking. Winslow: 25 passing snaps (22 routes), 28 run blocking. #Jets

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 24, 2013
Holmes and Hill dominated Justin Rogers all game long. The #Bills CB graded -5.3 in pass cov after allowing 5-of-7 for 229 yards and 2 TDs.

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 24, 2013
Geno Smith Time In Pocket: 3.32 secs average. 71.2% of dropbacks over 2.6 secs - 55.2% completion when over 2.6, 52.9% when under 2.6. #Jets

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013
Nice to hear Darrin Walls could be starting this Sunday. Highest rated CB in preseason, never understood why the #Jets put Milliner ahead.

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013

Geno Smith Time In Pocket: 3.32 secs average. 71.2% of dropbacks over 2.6 secs - 55.2% completion when over 2.6, 52.9% when under 2.6. #Jets

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013

Those numbers reflect what you see on the field - from shotgun, 5, 7-step dropbacks, shots downfield... Playing to Geno strengths basically.

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 26, 2013

Jets-Bills Post Game Analysis

Mornhinweg very good at designing/scheming the down field passing game.

— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013

Down-field shake routes and deep-dagger routes that Geno threw to Hill and Holmes early are a staple of Mornhinweg's pass offense. #Jets

— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013

#Bills decimated at corner and it is showing. Justin Rogers = tough 2week stretch.

— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 23, 2013

Jets defensive line dominates the Bills up front, Fred Jackson breaks away from Calvin Pace, goes for 60. Jets DLine did their job

— Steve Palazzolo (@StevePalazzolo) September 23, 2013

Weirdest aspect of an improved #Jets offense? Interrupting drives w/ancient Wildcat offerings, as if Nixon is dialing in plays from beyond.

— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) September 26, 2013

Through 1st quarter of Jets-Bills tape and biggest takeaway so far is that Jeff Cumberland cannot run block

— Mike Nolan (@nolan_nfl) September 28, 2013

In the 1st drive, two 3-step drops for Geno, quick slant to Kerley - 1st thrown too low, incomplete. 2nd on target, completed for 1st down.

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 25, 2013

Making the rookie feel comfortable in the system, play from shotgun and read what's happening before throwing the ball.

— Gonzalo Estradé (@PFF_Gonzalo) September 25, 2013

Jets Quoteables

When I told Stephen Hill the last time the Jets had 2 100+ receivers was 2006, he laughed and said he was in 10th grade. #nfl #jets

— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 23, 2013

Pace doesnt see "any ill-effects" of Santonio's Lisfranc. "That’s a career-ending injury for a lot of ppl, so u have to tip your hat to him"

— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013

Rex liked the way "Dee responded." Also thought Kyle Wilson was having a good "but he let a personal thing affect him...that's a mistake"

— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013

Rex says "there was no way" Coples would play 60 snaps. But playing so well in 1st gm back. "The guy wants it. I'm telling you: He's hungry"

— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) September 23, 2013

Rex says Winslow drawing attention from LB's and Safety's is allowing 1-on-1 matchups for the WR's. That's been the case last 2 games. #NYJ

— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 23, 2013

Michael Kay asked Rex if #Jets run the risk of feeling too good about themselves. "Um, no. ...We kno we have to get a heckuva lot better."

— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 23, 2013

that football and I’ve got to start sooner (rather than) later to do that."

— Eric Allen (@eallenjets) September 23, 2013

Richardson has been dealing w a shoulder injury for some time, but Rex said Sheldon's always been ready by gameday #jets

— Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 25, 2013

Wilkerson said Rex emphasized to the defense they need to create more turnovers. Titans have 0 turnovers this year. #nyj

— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 25, 2013

Ryan said Jets may ask Bohanon to play tailback & Reuland FB, or might look to pick up a RB. Powell and Green a go, Ivory didn't practice.

— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013

Special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica said Mike Goodson will have chance to contribute on ST when he returns from suspension after this week

— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 26, 2013

Marty Mornhinweg on Jets RB Powell: "He turned it lose just a little bit. Heck of a ball game and I certainly was not surprised."

— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013

Mornhinweg on Geno Smith: "I'm impressed a little bit more each day." #Jets

— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 26, 2013

Mornhinweg: "(Rex) wanted to be very aggressive and attack, and that's one of the reasons I ended up here." #Jets #nyjets

— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 26, 2013

Marty Morhinweg said the attention paid to Kellen Winslow opens up opportunities for other receivers.

— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 26, 2013

Mornhinweg says he's only exaggerating a little when he says Santonio Holmes is at the Jets facility 16 to 18 hours a day. #Jets #NFL

— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013

Jets' DC Thurman has a theory that the football gods let you get payback -- maybe not today, but be patient & you'll get a chance. #NFL

— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013

CB Kyle Wilson felt he was being wronged and officials didn't respond vs. Bills. Part of the frustration with all the fouls. #Jets #NFL

— Jane McManus (@janesports) September 26, 2013

When Jets go with four DBs, it depends on the package for whether Walls or Wilson is out there at corner opposite Cromartie, Ryan said.

— Darryl Slater (@DarrylSlater) September 27, 2013

The Jets are the only team in the NFL to allowed opposing passers to complete fewer than half their passes http://t.co/cUOLOlY8FE

From story I wrote today on Big Mo: #Jets are 3rd in overall D; 7th against pass; 6th against run; have allowed fewest 1st downs in #NFL ...

New York Giants had less total yards than the Jets had penalty yards yesterday. Thats just sad.

— BEST MADDEN 25 TIPS (@Moonlightswami) September 23, 2013

Matthew Stafford is the last QB from the class of 2009 still standing. Sanchez and Freeman now both watching from sideline.

— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) September 25, 2013

A month ago the #Jets were basically guaranteed a 2014 3rd rounder from the #Bucs. An 0-3 start, QB change & now .... not so much #Revis

— Drew (@DrewfromJersey) September 25, 2013

So Brady (5.5 ypa) is second to last in yards per attempt, wanna guess where Geno is?

— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 25, 2013

Geno is averaging 7.9 ypa with a completion % of just 55 %. So, 45% of his passes have gone 0 yards. Once that comp % goes up tho..........

— Chris Nimbley (@Cnimbley) September 25, 2013

Forgot that Titans have former #Jets DE Ropati Pitoitua, who has 15 total tackles. Rob Turner is also the starting center.

— Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 25, 2013

How the Jets shut down the Bills run game on Sunday (standout Coaches Film analysis from @MarcSesslerNFL). http://t.co/75w7uRnwoT

— Patrick Crawley (@pecrawleynfl) September 25, 2013

The line for Sunday's game is now Titans by 3.5, down from 5. #nyj

— Seth Walder (@SethWalderNYDN) September 26, 2013

Titans offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains told the media the #Jets secondary is the best they'll face this season. #RevisWho

— Jake Steinberg (@Steiny31) September 26, 2013

Best protection rate, season: DEN, CIN, DET, DAL, WAS. Worst: PHI, SEA, CLV, ATL, NYJ.

— Greg A. Bedard (@GregABedard) September 26, 2013

As of right now, @fboutsiders ranks the Patriots No. 1 in DVOA against a team's No. 1 receiver. Dolphins rank 5th, Jets 13th, Bills 27th.

— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) September 27, 2013

The turnover battle #Jets -6 vs. # Titans +5 --- yikes!!

— Erik from @JetsTwit (@e_man) September 28, 2013

' Brian. Schottenheimer.

That was a clear out. Even when the Rams run 4 vertical routes it's a short pass.

— NFL Philosophy (@NFLosophy) September 27, 2013

Anybody still defending Brian Schottenheimer being "shackled" by the constraints of limited weapons? He has em’, now use em.’

— RumfordJohnny (@RumfordJohnny) September 27, 2013

Not a good sign that every quarterback under Brian Schottenheimer is Mark Sanchez, or becomes him.

— Marc Sessler (@MarcSesslerNFL) September 27, 2013

The Rams deserve that. I'm glad it happened. Shotgun deep pass on 3rd & 1. Someone needs to be fired (eherm, Schottenheimer)

— Chris Kouffman (@ckparrot) September 27, 2013

What was the plan with Tavon Austin? Seriously.

— SI_DougFarrar (@SI_DougFarrar) September 27, 2013

"Okay, guys --we're only down 17 now. Time for some Wildcat!"

Random Tweets

Mike Ditka on the Richardson trade: "I think it validates the stupidity of the Browns front office."

— Dan Kadar (@MockingTheDraft) September 22, 2013

it's funny how a sideline argument will lead to talk of disconnect. So stupid.

— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) September 23, 2013

Most underrated (& in my opinion most important) part of evaluating a college QB for the pro game is, does he elevate the talent around him?

— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 23, 2013

You can't quantify whether or not a QB elevates the talent around him, that's what sets scouting apart as an art, and not a science.

— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 23, 2013

NFL trade deadline is October 29.

— Evan Silva (@evansilva) September 25, 2013

Been doing this QB evaluation thing for 15 years now, and I can tell you the best NFL QBs usually come from mediocre, less talented teams.

— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) September 25, 2013

Last year Alex Smith did absolutely the right thing, sat out w/concussion symptoms, never got job back. Players talk about that.

— Andrew Brandt (@adbrandt) September 25, 2013

Interesting stat: despite the NFC being considered the stronger conference, the AFC has won 11 of 14 head to head matchups thus far in 2013.

From our research dept: Read option runs down league-wide from 6.1 YPC in 2012 to 5.0 this year. Still effective.
