Re: Should We Be As Happy With This Win
Of COURSE we should be happy--we we're down 17 to 3, to the JETS!!!
Pluses: The run game--we're going to need it, though it won't be this easy down the road. Shuish--very clutch. Landry (but for the one bone-head play, though he was flying there, even). Onside kick. Portis--he matters for this team, whatever the detractors say. And Betts looked good as well.
Minuses: Specials TD on the first friggin play of the game. Weak passing attack, though every now and they you saw flashes. D gave up lots of yards, and lots of 3rd downs. Some weak penalties.
Remember, we got creamed last week--that can linger. Plus, this was a trap game in lots of ways--after the Pats, before the Eagles, and with the Jets really being better than their record shows. I watched them lose to the Ravens, and thought they looked pretty much like we saw today.
Bottom line: had to have it, and we got it. Now things get tougher.
