#1 in the AFC in points scored (#3 in the NFL). #1 in the NFL in points allowed. Four game win streak. Beat two inferior teams the last two weeks without playing particularly well. Scored 27 points today without revealing anything about our game plan for next week. I think our playoff chances this year are BETTER than last year.

In Buffalo, in January, I'd be OK playing the Chargers. Let's see what Herbert can do in the wind and cold. No, I think Saleh has guaranteed himself another year at least. The Jets really are playing hard, but with a lot of substitute players on the field. And their future looks bright, if they get help on the O line. They have four high draft picks this year and Fort Knox to spend on FAs. The AFCE is going to be a lot tougher next year.

Oh, it would still be great if we won 52-7.

Also the Colts lost to the Jags. No Jonathan Taylor to worry about.

Probably the Pats.

62 total yards for the Jets. Take away their TD on a blown coverage, and they'd almost be in negative territory.

The offense could be this ineffective and we still crush the Jets. Just win, baby.

Finally.

Nope, it will still be a two score game.

Earlier Harlan said Davis is a rookie, but now he's a second year player. This has been a loooong game.

Two scores up and we have the wind. Still not time to relax.

Superstitious. It's working for his D.

No QB could look good behind that O line and with scrub receivers. But Wilson isn't making anything good happen on his own.

The thing is, if you're playing 3D chess, it doesn't work to play 2D offense.

All I can think of is that Daboll doesn't want to show anything new, and the Jets know all the things we've done in the past. Or maybe he's hoping to make our opponent next week get overconfident.

We just need to get out of this quarter and get the wind back.

I think you're thinking of Kyle Orton. Trent might have done it too.

Haack is trying to have Josh not be the worst guy on the field today.

No, Roberts got picked up, and he ran a KO back for a TD last week.

I think I'd like NE to win and get the 5 seed, leaving one of the weaker teams at 6. Assuming of course the Bills win.

As the announcer, Kevin Harlan, said, the Jets defense holds. They certainly did. They had Davis by the shoulder pads while he was making his cut.

After paying my life insurance premiums for many years, I still haven't used that policy. The thing about insurance is you really don't want to have to use it or need it. In my opinion having Trubisky in place in case Josh got hurt was one of the best investments McBeane made this year. And, if things don't work out for Trubisky to land a starting job somewhere else, I think both he and the Bills would be pleased to do the whole thing again. I don't expect that since there are so many teams desperate for a QB upgrade, and MT will look very promising compared to the guy they have now. But if it happens, it will be fine with me.

Does anyone else remember reading that Cynthia Frelund, the analytics guru, was going to be at Bills games this year? I thought that was odd, and then it doesn't seem to have materialized.

On a related topic, this year I've noticed several games where the mix of the crowd noise along with the announcers is adjusted so the announcers are hard to hear, while the crowd noise is dominant. This has happened enough that I think it might be a deliberate choice, not to downplay the announcers, but to give viewers at home a better sense of the game experience. Has anyone noticed this?

I see your point about Jones. You could be correct about him. But Matakevich I think is back for sure.
