Posted: Friday, 24 October 2008 4:57PM Recco Report: Jets/Chiefs Preview Jerry Recco While last week I was blindsided, I promise you that this week I will be dead-on. The Jets will destroy the Chiefs 45-10 and here's why: (This is kind of like David Letterman's top ten list, but I'll call it Recco's Magnificent Seven) #7 Brett Favre is ticked off. Favre had a miserable week, spending almost all of his weekly press conference defending a stupid story that circulated like wild fire about his alleged involvement with the Lions before their game with the Packers in week two. On top of that, Favre had a tough day against the Raiders in a game that the Jets needed to win. All in all, Favre and the Jets offense will fatten up their stats against a Chiefs defense that has given up 68 points in the last two weeks. #6 David Clowney. The one thing that Favre is lacking with the Jets is a speedy receiver with good hands that can flat-out run. Clowney is the guy. He showed flashes of brilliance in the preseason before getting hurt; now he is healthy. The concussion to Coles should allow Clowney to see extended time as a 3rd receiver. (Of course we're assuming Coles doesn't play, Cotchery is the 1 & Chansi Stuckey is the 2) #5 The running game. Are you ready for this stat. The Chiefs rank last in rush defense allowing 207 yards per game! In case you think your eyes are deceiving you let me repeat myself, the Chiefs defense is allowing 207 yards per game! Holy $!%^! How is that humanly possible? Here's how, this is a team of twenty-something's that no one has ever heard of. Here is Herman Edwards from the Boomer & Carton show. Herm sounds like a beaten down coach. They ask some tough questions and he gives some honest answers. Oh yeah, Thomas Jones off his big game in Oakland will follow it up here. #4 Larry Johnson. The biggest (and only) threat the Chiefs have will NOT play. Johnson is facing charges of spitting in a woman's face and threatening to kill her boyfriend. Before the NFL did anything, Edwards suspended Johnson. Kolby Smith and Jamaal Charles will be the backs that the Jets defense has to worry about. Who? Exactly. #3 Tyler Thigpen. Let me steal the line from above. Who? Exactly. Thigpen is the Chiefs starting quarterback for this game. I'm sure Thigpen has a lot of talent, but lets be honest, this is a guy who was waived by the Vikings. Minnesota can't find a starting quarterback that's any good and they waived him. They either made a major mistake or we'll find out that he's a cut below what an NFL quarterback needs to be! #2 The Jets pass rush. They are ranked 3rd in the NFL in sacks, with 20. I expect Eric Mangini to tell Bob Sutton to send the house and knock this kid around. Look for the Jets to have five to eight sacks on Sunday, possibly moving them into the league lead. (The Steelers lead with 25, but against the Giants O-line I don't expect them to get any this weekend) #1 Finally, the Jets will win this game because they have to! If they don't, their season will collapse. They HAVE to be 4-3 heading to Buffalo next week, to at least give themselves a chance to still do something of interest this season. Lose consecutive games to the Raiders and Chiefs and let's just start counting down the days until pitchers and catchers report. Oh wait, we already do that here. Let's try that again, lose consecutive games to the Raiders and Chiefs and let's just start counting down the days until the day Favre makes a decision on 2009.
I took the points, so they need to win by 14...but I got the early line, so they only need to win by 12... oh yea :up:
He has a big-time arm and some mobility, but his numbers are almost unbelievably bad: 4 games (1 start): 38-90 (42.2%), 392 yards (4.4 YPC), 2 TD, 4 INT, 7 sacks. He also has a rushing TD and 2 fumbles. If the Chiefs score more than 6 points in this game, I will be pissed.
We will be 4-3 after this game and all the haters will disappear until we lose again and they will all appear again. That is the cycle, its guaranteed like death and taxes.
It might be a great week to start the Jets Defense in fantasy games with Johnson out and Thigpen at QB. I like the writer's enthusiasm and confidence, but I have seen weirder shit happen and we could still blow this game. I didn't think we could lose to the Raiders - and we did.
Not really. The Raiders played better than most people thought they were capable of, especially their defense, and irregardless isn't a word.
so much confidence, not too sure how you could be so confident at this point. there were alot of people that were this confident last week. there really was no excuse for last weeks loss, i dont think it was them playing better than everyone expected them to, i think it was more we played like a big turd. but time will tell if they have turned a corner or if we just stunk up the joint. however last weeks loss should stop this from being the trap game that everyone thought it would be. however i will not feel confident until the game is over, it would be just horrifying if sperm came in here and beat us with that terrible football team. that would definitely be the final straw for me with eric mangini. not that i am that close to saying he sucks but it would just be such a disappointment to lose to sperm edwards.
They should have been pissed for the entire season after being thoroughly embarrassed on national television against the Chargers. They should have also been pissed after the crappy Carson-less Bengals played us pretty close and we barely escaped with a win. But NOW they'll suddenly be pissed? Fine, maybe we win this game because we are "pissed" (and the Chiefs are quite awful) but what do we do the week after when everyone is happy that we won? We lose again. Then eventually we'll be pissed against a team that's better than us and they'll still beat us. We're looking at an 8-8, 9-7 season unless this team and the CS get their heads out of their asses and actually gameplan and execute to win e very week.
since when did the bengals play us close? i dont remember the game ever being in question except for after the first drive when brett fumbled and the bengals went in for the td. after that the jets controlled the rest of the game.
I'm telling you, even if they're pissed, you'll never no it because Mangini has abolished all in-game emotion.
