On ESPN if you follow wickersham's picks. He has picked against the JETS 5 out of 6 times. This moron believed we should be 1-5. Most of the expects dont take these picks seriously. They pick teams based on allegiance, friendships and access to teams. Have to keep there friends happy.
yeah, that's the guy i was talking about. wickersham. he's a dolphins fan and used to be a beat writer for them. he always picks the fins and against the jets. he's a retard that deserves a good punch in the face
He's an obvious homer. he never picks the jets to win while giving the dolphins the nod in all their games.
Vegas has the Jets as 3 1/2 to 4 pt road favorite. These guys don't use spreads when they make thier picks so it's not as difficult to be right. I think one year Ditka hit 15 out 16 on MNF with no spread which is pretty good. If you can pick 4 or 5 games a week with a spread and hit at 60% for the year you could make some decent money in Vegas because that's what most of the best handicappers hit at.
For sure it will be games like this, that will define just who this current Jets teams is. This game presents many tough factors, short week, big win on MNF, key players still not 100%, long west bound trip and all of this, right before our bye -week . While not a division game and a loss that would not kill us, a win would put a ton of pressure on both the Pats and Fins to keep pace, with tough games facing both teams. So, while a loss might be expected and yes, accepted, because of all the factors mention above, a win in this situation, would be huge. An if we do win expect that bandwagon to become very heavy and full with hanger ons and tons of suddenly new Jets fans. It will also make the target on the Jets back that much bigger with more teams looking to knock us off and even more haters coming out of the woodwork. Personally I could live with 4-2 going into the bye but would much rather have this team prove once and for all, at least for this year, that the Jets are a team that is for real and much be taken as a real powerhouse....... we shall know that answer very soon.......
I think rex really has this team focused. we are so deep that if one area falls apart we can make up for it
This is not a trap game. I'm so sick of that phrase being used every time we're playing a team we're better than. If we lose, it's not because we're looking ahead to anybody. If we lose, it's because we had a short week, we're playing on the road in the altitude, and Denver beats us. Orton can throw the ball, and he's a little bit like Manning in the sense that he spreads the ball to all his receivers, so it's not like we can just put Revis and Cromartie on their best guys and take them completely out of their rhythm. But I still think we should win because Denver simply can't run the football, and as much as Orton piles up the yardage, he doesn't stick the ball in the endzone enough.
The term trap game is stupid in general...In the pros I don't think any team is ever overlooking an opponent
How many teams in the league have ever been able to run the ball when you pass it as much as the Broncos have? The average is nearly 50 a game the past 3 games. Thing is this could play into our advantage, because I know for a fact that McDaniels would love nothing more than to pound the ball down the throats of the Jets, and what better way to do that then to have them sit deactivate a few defensive lineman so they can focus on beefing up their secondary. Our issues in the run game have not been the result of individual performances as much as it has been just flat out blown plays by players who are otherwise holding their own, and when you have blown plays across the boards will it just adds up especially when you are only running the ball a dozen times a game. Check that we did not even run the ball a dozen times last week. Having watched this passing offense gain hundreds of yards so far this season from passing plays behind the line of scrimmage, I know there is something there that has yet to be tapped into to. The issue is not going deep early and often in the first quarter, using the pass to set up the run. Not to kill it with games where you are passing the ball from the line of scrimmage only 3 yards on average in 37 attempts, 2 yards in 29. This is exactly what teams are game planning against and it is what is directly impacting our rushing offense in the most devastating way imaginable. I think we can use this type pf game planning to our advantage by catching the defense off gaurd by focusing the majority of our passes over the top of the LB's early and often. If there was a key to win this game this is it, and how. Spread the defense and then pound the rock everyother play no matter what. The key to getting the running game going is not giving up on it, allowing the RB to get into rhythm... I blieve the Broncos can run the ball, but only if the passing offense scuttles its high percentage pass plays in order to raise the percentage of the running game into the top ten this week. Jets are going to force the Broncos to beat them with the rush, and that is exactly what the Broncos need to prove that they most ceartainly can do. I beilieve this with all my heart and soul. Now that all the hype has been sown, with me doing my part of course; :laugh: fact remains Jets last 3 opponents have a 3-10 standing. Last seasons 31st ranked passing offense is not much better this season either, Jets are coming into the game with the 25th ranked passing offense. Sanchez sucks. You guys thought I was hard on Orton I'd take Orton over Sanchez any day of the week. Sanchez is so pathetic his completion percentage has him ranked 29th in the league. He is ranked 23rd for passes for 20 yards or more. This is a game where our defensive line can really save face as WINk can take and force the Jets to beat him with the passing game approach with Sanchez at the helm. Sanchez is ranked 28th as far as his yard average per attempt goes. The Broncos antidote for the hype fueling the Jets is a simple good ol fashion physical brawl, the exact type of brawls they have been in the past 2 games. We shut down Chris Johnson, we can shut down LT, while forcing sanchump to beat us through the air. Mark Sanchez had 20 INT's last season. Broncos could be first to pick off Sanchez Syd'Quan Thompson can step up and make an impact in the secondary. Syd'Quan Thompson (22) punches the ball out of the arm of Cassius Vaughn (41) during drills at practice October 13 , 2010 at Dove Valley. John Leyba, The Denver Post Joe Mays is going to have to step up... Looks like Nate Jones is getting in on the turnover drill, he will have to step up this game... Kyle: You want me to do what? Ben: Either throw it deep or run it every play for the entire first quarter.
I hope you cut and pasted that from another site, if not you really shouldn't be investing that kind of time on another teams board unless its a really elborate troll (if it is then good for you I hope you get some bites ).
