Since this is the NFL’s Thursday night initiative and the Jets won’t play any additional Thursday games in 2016, the team will not wear kelly green uniforms at all this season. The organization attempted to honor the initiative with more white and they should be back in kelly green for a Color Rush game in the 2017 campaign.
I really think we win this game soundly.....Maybe 24-13 or so and control it Revenge factor, Bills are all kinds of banged up and Rex doesn't care as much anymore....Plus the Jets lost a close one so they're really hungry and aren't riding high The rest of the schedule is a different story but we should win this game
stoppin the run will be big tommorrow night. Last year Buffalo was seemingly the only team all year that was able to run on this defense. The first game it caught the Jets off guard and in both games they were able to build big leads with their running game. Its a gimmicky rush system they got, almost like a college offense and nothin like any of the other teams we'll play. They run a lot of plays that take awhile behind the line and on the edges. I am surprised that it works. Hopefully with a little more speed and an emerging Leonard Williams up front this defense can stuff that silly crap. Will be tough for Buffalo to win if they can't run the ball and have to throw with Taylor under duress all game and a hobbled Samantha Watkins
Two losses to Buffalo and a whole offseason to figure out how to beat them so the CS has to show me something Thursday The Bills are not the Bengals so the Jets can and should win here Folk better not F*ck it up because field goals may spell the difference here Our D will keep us in every game but we need to score more in RZ 20-17 Jets
Normally I don't like the players to play off of emotion because I think it's unsustainable and a big reason why Rex Ryan's teams are so inconsistent, but I like the fact that I've seen multiple Jets players talk about having a bad taste in their mouth from the season finale. First of all because they really need this game and they've got 10 days to recover from it, but second of all because fuck the Bills.
I thought it was unfair for the Jets to play a divisional game on the road on short rest, so I did some research. Turns out, I was wrong. On average, home teams win 58.04% of the time in the NFL (since 1990). For Thursday games, the home team wins 59.78% of the time. So, there is a slight added advantage to the home team on Thursday night, but not much different than a regular Sunday home game. However, when divisional opponents face each other on Thursday, the home field advantage shrinks to 53.33% So, all else equal, you have a better chance of winning a road game on a Thursday night against a divisional opponent than you have of winning a "normal" road game on a Sunday afternoon against any opponent. Carry on.
This 2016 Season for the Bills feels a lot like the 2014 Season for the Jets. Everything feels wrong from the start. Feels like Rex will be fired at the end of the year. The team looks like a mess. Having said all of that: Still no guarantee the Jets win tomorrow. If the Jets do win, and win in blow out fashion, I think the Bills season will be over after 2 games though. The one thing that team could brag about since Rex took over was beating the Jets. Besides that it has been a complete joke. So to lose tomorrow? It all comes crashing down on Rex. He knows it. If he wins though, he can fake a smile and say a few lines to make it through the rest of the year before being fired on Black Monday.
Doesn't that just paint a picture of Rex at his worst? Jailhouse blitzes on 3rd and long that get converted time after time after time, too many players on the field multiple times forcing him to use valuable time outs in both half's of the game, throwing a 5 yd pass on 3rd and 9 etc.
Short week coming off a nut punch loss with an ex-HC exhalting his team to win his "Superbowl" with the team that has beat us how many straight times - yea...it don't look good.
This is probably why Rex is so good at Thursday night games. He's accustomed to coaching sloppy messes while the other coach is caught off guard.
