This is how it stands and I know a lot of people don't like how we match up but we lead in 3 of 4 categories take it for what you will.

I have a feeling either Geno will have a great game this Sunday or it will be another Titan's fiasco.

welp thats a prediction.

I think their D might be too much for our O but they are missing their top cb.

Its going to come down to our O line protecting Geno and allowing him time to make some plays.

I really hope we have seen the last of games like that,but with a rookie QB I do expect to possibly see it again.

Reading this. Makes it seem as if our offense will have a good game

Considering how the Jets have owned Cincy winning 9 of the last 10, including the last 4 in a row, I can understand all the hand wringing and doubt flying around here on TGG.

Everyone is expecting the Jets to lose this week and sticking with the trend means they should win.

Yes but it's an even number week. So naturally it'll be a tie.

If the Pats were in the predicament then The Gronk would just add a day to the month of October.

Good break down from Randy Lange
This darned NFL. It's constantly pitting friend against friend, brother against brother.

Rex Ryan gets one of each the next two games. On Sunday it's his latest match against Marvin Lewis, his former defensive coordinator with the Ravens, when we tackle the Bengals in Cincinnati.

"Marvin's a heck of a football coach and I learned a lot from being under him," the Jets head coach said. "The thing that I always liked was, yeah, I was under Marvin, but I never felt that way. I felt that I worked with him. He made all of his coaches that worked under him feel that way. And that might be one of the reasons I am the way I am."

One of Rex's ways is to insist that Sunday's game "is not about me." It's about his players, who will take their next shot at crossing up the critics by trying to score another rousing road win for their first two-game winning streak since last December and a two-games-over-.500 record for the first time since 2011.

As for the following Sunday and our date with the Saints, whose defensive coordinator is none other than Rex's twin brother Rob, that sibling sidebar will stay on the sideline till next week. For now, here are 10 things to look for in the Jets-Bengals game:

1. Keep Going to Kerley — After his eight-catch, seven-third-down-catch, six-third-down-conversion game against the Patriots, is Jeremy Kerley ready for more? "I'm a tank," said No. 11. "I'm ready for everything." Ready for more clutch catches, then. The Jets' third-down offense is ranked 11th, Cincinnati's third-down defense 26th, and of the Bengals' two starting corners, Leon Hall (Achilles) is out and Terence Newman (ankle) is probable but was limited in practice before today's full turn.

2. Handling Andy — QB Andy Dalton (65.9% accuracy, 11 TDs to 6 INTs, 93.9 rating) is having a fine season. "He's smart. He understands their offense," DC Dennis Thurman said. "He's going to manage the game, he's going to make safe throws, quick throws, and he's going to take his calculated shots." Of course, all (except the game manager part) could be said about Tom Brady, yet our Muhammad Wilkerson-led Sunday rush resulted in an un-Brady-like midgame stretch — 1-for-5 for 5 yards, one interception and four sacks. Let's see something like that again.

3. Third-and-Strong — Along the lines of Point No. 1, QB Geno Smith and the offense have been converting third-and-long plays (defined here as 11+ yards) at a remarkable clip — eight this season, with seven coming in the four wins. "We always emphasize third downs no matter what," Smith told me today. "We like to keep it third-and-manageable, but I think it's a positive sign that we're able to pick up first downs in those situations. It does lift us up as an offense and it does give us confidence." So third-and-14? Don't despair. Go out and convert.

4. Cro vs. A.J. — It's a mutual admiration society. Don't tell WR A.J. Green that Antonio Cromartie is struggling this season. "I just think guys are putting the ball in good position," Green said. "He's a great corner ... one of the best in the league." Cromartie replies: "He's a great receiver for that team and he’s one of the best receivers in the NFL right now." Ryan has played coy about what the plans are for covering Green (43 catches, 619 yards, 5 TDs), but when 31 in green lines up across from 18 in orange, get ready for fireworks.

5. Powell/Ivory Balance — We've seen a game heavy with Bilal Powell (30 offensive touches vs. Buffalo) and one with lots of Chris Ivory (34 carries vs. New England). OC Marty Mornhinweg said he "did a bad job communicating" in not getting Bilal more involved Sunday. But with both backs firing on all cylinders now, perhaps an optimum blending Powell's vision and quick, devastating cuts with Ivory's muscular pounding is ahead in Cincinnati.

6. Tight End Trials — Last week Antonio Allen gave better than he got in his battle with Rob Gronkowski. How will we approach this week's matchup with two good receiving TEs in Jermaine Gresham and rookie Tyler Eifert? More Double-A for sure, plus some Demario Davis in coverage. And don't be surprised if rookie CB Dee Milliner, who lined up a bit against Eifert in January's BCS Championship Game, gets some action in what Ryan and Thurman call "Detroit formations," with trips wideouts to one side and Eifert on the corner to the other side. To which we'd like to say, "Roll, Tide."

7. Josh Is Jumping — Raves kept coming in during the week for Josh Cribbs' Green & White debut, this time from the coaches. Mornhinweg: "He helped us win that ballgame." Special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica: "He brings an element to the room that's very positive." On punt returns Sunday, Cribbs averaged 14.7 yards on three returns and made the right decisions on thee touchback punts. He even drew an illegal block on the Patriots in punt coverage. And he took three Wildcat snaps for 14 yards. Are pass plays in his future? Marty again: "As we go, he'll get just a little bit more."

8. Fighting the Flags — Since their 20 penalties in the Week 3 win over Buffalo, we had been improving in our penalty rate. But nine flags vs. New England — eight on presnap penalties — are too much for Ryan. "There are 'combat penalties' that are aggressive. You can live with those," Rex said today. "You can't live with the self-inflicted ones. We still have to do better in that area." One consolation: It's not supposed to work this way, but the Jets have averaged 5.8 presnap penalties in home games, 3.7 in road games. So bring on da noise.

9. Noooge! — Mike Nugent used to be No. 1 in green and white while not No. 1 in many Jets fans' hearts, even though his 2006 season (24-for-27 on field goal tries) wasn't chopped liver. But he moved back to his Ohio home in 2010, donned uniform No. 2, and has been kicking well ever since for the Bengals. In fact, Nooge has hit game-winners the past two weeks, at Buffalo and Detroit, while Nick Folk, our No. 2, is still No. 1 with no FG misses yet and three game-winners to his credit. Penalty shootout to decide a close finish, anyone?

10. The View from Downtown
When CBS comes back from commercial breaks, look for the obligatory blimp shot from above. You'll see Paul Brown Stadium nestled in between the Ohio River and the buildings of downtown Cincinnati, a unique skyline that prompted one wag to suggest the Rose City looked like "a collection of the winning designs in an architecture contest." Some of the structures are even visible from the stands, making PBS perhaps the most picturesque city stadium in the NFL — and a perfect backdrop if the gritty Jets are up for their second road victory of the year. But as Willie Colon, former AFC North Bengals battler, warns: "It's going to be a hostile environment."

Cannot predict the outcome of this Sunday's game but I do know that since '92,
the JETS have a winning 9-1 record (including play-offs) against the Ben-gurls.
Overall the JETS lead the series 15-7 FWIW.......!

Burnz · Oct 26, 2013

I hope we play like last sunday. And play like JETS. We can take shots with Geno he CAN throw the rock. But Run the ball and open the game for later. Stay in the game with D. Turnovers will determine the outcome. Our D should rattle their O as much as they should ours. Close game 17-10 Jets

gustoonarmy · Oct 26, 2013

Tell you what, I have massive respect for AJ Green, who doesn't :wink: but I really love the Cro Vs AJ matchup, this is exactly the type of player that Cro is best at covering, fast and vertical.
Bet you Cro gets at least one INT this game.

Intoddwetrust · Oct 26, 2013

Wow really going out on a limb. He will either play good or play bad. Wow deep predictions.

OUACOWA · Oct 26, 2013

I like the Cro green match up ... He definitely does his best work against the bigger WR

tank75 · Oct 26, 2013

i think our offense is coming along nicely. i know we will still see some bad from geno but, at some point hes got to start getting it and hes played a good bit of games already at qb. i like what hes done so far and i expect him to start putting together stretches of good games. lets hope he can pull it off before the bye and the team will be in good shape this season and with a bright future ahead.

the circumstances of the bengals lead me to believe geno will have a good game and our offense will give our defense some breathing room (and time)like they did against the pats.

not worried about the d at all in this game. they will stop the run and get to dalton quick enough to mess up their passing. if the offense can come out with the same intensity as the d, the jets will win.
