Can we beat the Jets?

[#56fanatic]

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.

Our defense is about to run in to some major problems.

We've been excellent against slot receivers and 2nd receivers this year. Well, that was Carlos more times than not.

Lets say Smoot comes in and plays the pass with no dropoff? Who covers the slot? Prioleau? We can't continue to be no. 1 against slot receivers like that.

We've been one of the best rushing D's in the league thus far. But NE figured out how to beat us, put the slot receiver on Fletcher and attack Andre Carter to get outside.

Well, guess which CB that play would go at?

Outside runs are about to get real messy for this team, and Landry is going to see a lot more time in the box. That means that Taylor will get tested a lot and have a lot more ground to cover.

I don't think we have an elite defense anymore without Carlos Rogers. Still capable, yes. But if teams start to attack this D like they did last year's D, they will find some success.

Here's the good news: The offense is at it's season low point. It's only going to get healthier and better from here on out. Campbell is due to go off on someone.

But my crystal ball looks iffy for this game.

[BrunellMVP?]

we will beat the jets. they are losers....we aren't going to help them change that.

[DieHardSkinsFan777]

We not only can. WE WILL! This will be a statement game for us, we will win this one BIG! All the PRIDE of this team is on the line.

We will step it up, and get the job done.

The win over the Jets will compare to the Giants win over Miami. Absolutely lopsided on paper, but Gibbs has this team unprepared after half-time for the last three weeks. I don't see any anger or key players voicing their opinion about the dilemmas' with this team. I never thought I would see a team with so much talent and money at it's expense barely able to score 21 points per game. It's a shame and Joe Gibbs doesn't have the answer. His accountability as a coach is really on trial.

My personal feeling is...this thread should be locked.

-We already have a thread about the upcoming Jets game
http://www.redskinswarpath.com/locke...-the-jets.html

-"Can We Beat the Jets" was the thread title but didn't seem to have anything to do with the first post. It seems that it was just an excuse to toss up this video

Kellen Clemens at QB scares me a lot more than Chad Pennington. If the Skins don't have enough to win this game, then they don't deserve to go to the postseason. Good teams that consider themselves contenders beat up on bad teams like the Jets. For once, if we get a two TD lead, can Gibbs let Saunders keep his foot on the accelerator? Just for once.

Surely you're not talking about running up the score...

Actually, I was laughing while I typed that. Run up the score....how 'bout score.

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

we will beat the jets and everyone will be back on the bandwagon. The Jets are horrible and when we beat them it will be nothing to brag about especially when the score about 17-10

I think it is going to be ugly too, but for the Jets. The young and inexperienced QB is on a date with pain and misery this Sunday. Did he pick the wrong time to play an angry Redskins D or what?

I think the defense will come out firing on all cylinders and dominate this game after that embarrassment up in NE.

It will also be nice to watch the game with Moss and Coles playing for two teams as both receivers played for both teams at some point. I really think that Coles is very underrated player. I remember the game when he played for the Skins against Dallas and had a dislocated finger but kept playing and catching. Whatever happened to players like that, ones who actually want to play?

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.

I Agree BigD;

I think one of Campbell's strengths is that he comes back from adversity. We've seen it after he's thrown interceptions, and now we will see what he can do after a disheartening loss.

I wouldn't want to have ST or London looking to avenge personal demons next week if I was on the other side of the line.

Belicheat feels Man-gina betrayed him by going to a division rival at the Jets, and Man-gina is the guy who reported Belicheat for the infamous "spy-cameras".

The Jets have benched Pennington in favor of Clemmons. Not because Clemmons is the savior and will deliver them to the playoffs. At 1-7, the Jets have already conceded thier season and are putting thier new young QB in for the rest of the year to get him "game time" expeirence for the rest of the season. The Pennington era is over in New York, Clemmons is thier QB of the future and the job is his to lose for the next several seasons.

With that in mind, the Redskins defense should be able to feast easily on the Jets offense. Greg Williams is going to bring the house all day long and force the inexperienced QB into rash and devestating mistakes.

The offense just needs to take care of the ball and make sustained drives. I think that Cooley is what will spark the offense and they need to get the ball in his hands early and often. To be honest, he has been, to this point, the most reliable receiver on the team, and him catching and getting yards after the catch will help Campbells confidence tremendously.

But IF the Redskins falter against the Jets, then one would be hard pressed not to concede that this team is not who they thought, or advertised themselves to be.

Redskins win big this time:

Wash - 28
Jets - 9

I love correcting Dallas fans!
GW will not blitz this guy...he doesn't blitz anyone anymore...and now with Rodgers hurt.....hes gunna play back and try to get picks
