Ethan in Cleveland

Good to know. GPS gave me no options that did not include a bus which I have an aversion to.

There wasn't a train option that I could find, at least not one that got you close to the stadium. I was shocked there was not a train stop at the stadium.

Poorly titled. Like I said I was excited to see him play and I just wasn't sure if he got on the field earlier than the fourth quarter. I thought he would get some snaps subbing for Oliver who was a beast today

He was a net negative last year. No doubt he is playing better this year. All fans want to see him succeed. I just think for the draft status and hype we expect him to be a top LB. Given his size and speed I always compared him to Brian Urlacher. And we want him to be a dominant generational player like Bobbie Wagner or Ray Lewis. As for modern NFL defense, I still am trying to figure that out. No doubt the 2 down run stopping LB is a thing of the past. But you still need your base nickel MLB to be stout against the run. I think there is some truth to QBs not testing the deep middle with Edmunds on the field. That said Klein had two tipped passes defending the middle yesterday while still playing very good run defense. I hope he is healthy because they will likely play much more 4-3 against the Colts. When they do that Edmunds plays some snaps at OLB with Klein in the middle.

Kind of similar to MJ or LeBron. They are or were always so good they could win it every year. Brady is in that conversation, but the media and the league for that matter is always looking for the next great player. Wilson and Mahomes were that and now Josh is that guy. May come down to whoever plays better Dec 12th

Yeah I was shocked it was not at least reviewed. It was a turnover on downs though. Aren't those subject to automatic review not just the sky judge?

I agree. This worked against Tenn until Henry's big run. Taylor is good but he's not Henry. Classic game of if we score TDs early instead of FGs it may force them out of their game. The longer it is a close game the more they can pound the run game.

Along the same lined, there were two other plays that reviews came into mind.. Allen's INT was not reviwed. They never showed a replay in the stadium. I saw comments here that seemed to suggest it was not caught before hitting the ground. I would have thought that should have been reviewed. Diggs almost TD catch. Looked on the stadium replay his second foot was in bounds. Was it close enough that McD should have challenged or was it obvious it was not a catch?

Trevon Diggs now has 8 INT in 9 games. That is insane and worthy of being in MVP discussion. He won't win it but even if his season ended today he probably still wins DPOY. Its on the road but nothing else

Loved the first 3 and out with Hughes running stride for stride covering a RB out of the backfield. Impressive!

Any chance this same post was written 15 years ago when Losman was QB and Brady was on the wrong side of 30????

Yes almost but that was because Diggs stopped running. It was Jones

He's getting a freakish contract. There is no doubt about that. The only question is will it be Buffalo or someone else.

Black pepper and pomegranate marinated chicken for an appetizer. My wife had goat cheese and spinach stuffed mushrooms. For entree I had lobster in a cream and saffron sauce. She had the vegetable bityani. Two taj mahal beers.

They passed block well today. They ran left well. A couple of penalties. All in all they did ok today. They weren't playing against a top DL, so who knows.

Turnovers, big plays on offense, and the Jets getting yards and time of possession in garbage time

They gave him an option to leave them in some trailer and getbthem at the end of the game. He just let them throw them out. I don't know much about brass knuckles but these weren't made of brass.

I legit wanted to see if I missed him on the field earlier in the game. I thought he would get a decent amount of snaps at DT. Look at him and compare him to Hughes, Rousseau, Addison, and Epenesa. Basham has a completely different body type. I wanted to see him get more plays to see what he can do. Can't criticize a guy positively or negatively until they let him play.

From what I saw Basham barely saw the field. I think he got a few reps at DE in the fourth quarter. Butler, Phillips, and Oliver took the majority of the DT snaps. Obada and Epenesa were on the field quite a bit. Basham looks stocky (I’m trying to be kind but he looks thick around the waist) and slow. Doesn’t look like a NFL 4-3 DE. Did I miss anything?

One of Beane’s best picks

He doesn’t make that many plays though. That’s what many of us keep pointing out. Klein made as many great plays today as Edmunds has all year. He is a freakish athlete that lacks instincts. He is playing better this year than last year and the have another year to figure out if they should extend him. No way should Beane sign him long term this off season. They can still franchise him too. Plenty of time to make him truly earn a long term deal.

Davis got more reps after they sat Sanders. Not sure if he got dinged up on that amazing diving catch that was nullified. Or it may have just been veteran rest. Beasley got his targets too. They played more heavy formations with Sweeney, Knox, and Bates but still passed out of those set several times.

I was generally happy with the MetLife experience today. Both the Jets and Bills fans looked to be tailgating in full force before the game. Getting in was reasonable. Took a few more minutes than usual. A guy in front of us was carrying brass knuckles and they made him give them up after a brief conversation. I was in section 237 with my wife. Front row around the 35 yard line. Odd with the wall there. You could see the entire field but hard to see the Bills sideline without leaning forward. Jets fans were cordial. Lots of empty seats. Bills fans looked to be at least 30% maybe more at the start and by mid 3rd quarter it was well over half and probably close to 2/3rds. Is that the norm for a Jets game? On one kickoff touchback in 3rd quarter, Taiwan Jones was gettin the corner fans going and it looked like a sea of blue. Club level food was good. My only real criticism is having only two bathrooms for the whole club level. Getting back to NYC was a nightmare. Took us four attempts before we could get a Lyft driver to figure out where the pickup area was. And then traffic via the Lincoln tunnel was terrible. Went for Indian food at Awadh for dinner. It was excellent.

It did appear Klein rushed the passer more than Edmunds ever does. But some of those plays were just great recognition. Don’t get me wrong he got blocked out of the play a few times too. But he made up for it with tipped passes and some good stops.

Josh McDaniels may be coaching himself into another HC job
