Can we beat the Jets?

Of course we can beat the Jets, in fact we sure as hell better beat the Jets! If we lose, the wheels are officially coming off on the season.

Not necessarily.

You have three games coming up. @ New York Jets, PHILADELPHIA, and @ Dallas.

If I told you that as a fan, you could assign two wins and one loss to those three games (a reasonable expectation), which game would you assign the loss to?

Thought so.

Now, in reality it doesn't work like that, but all I'm saying is road losses outside of conference only help you get tiebreakers. To prevent the season from slipping away, we need to beat our division opponents.

can we beat the Jets?? absolutely. Can we lose to the Jets?? absolutely. It depends on the mind set of this team. Joe Gibbs is so laid back and non confrontational so someone else is going to have to get these guys fired up and ready to know someones head off. Buges maybe, Williams will have the D ready to rumble, no doubt. I hope this team comes out with the mentality to strike and strike quickly. We need to take the life out of them quick. Switching to a new QB that every one in Jets land loves will give them and extra burst and a little spark. I would love to see GW go after him, blitzing like crazy but I just dont see that happening. He hasn't done it all year when we all thought he would. Nothing makes me think he will this week. With the secondary so banged up, I would tend to send a lot more pressure so the corners are not forced to cover for 5 seconds. I feel if your secondary (corners) are banged up or not that good, you mask that by bringing a lot of pressure in the QB's face. Force him to make quick decisions. But thats my opinion, that is why I work for a software company, and not an NFL team.

I don't know if we can or not. As I've said in other posts...Yes, we are definitely hindered by the injuries the team has suffered, and that didn't get any better this past weekend. However, face it, we just aren't anything more than an average football team right now, and that is only thanks to our defense. If our defense wasn't as good as it has been so far, we wouldn't even be considered average. We'd probably be 1-7 just like the Jets. The offense just stinks.

All that being said, if we beat the Jets..."IF"... then we'll be two back of Dallas and we still play them twice. Playoffs are a possibility since we are in the weak NFC, but if you think this team would last more than a week in the post season, I want some of what you are smoking.

We can beat the Jets just as easily as we can lose to them. As long as we bounce back mentally from that beat down in NE I think we will be just fine. The Jets are benching Chad Pennington too this week I believe.
