Yep... stay up with social media lol.

 

I meant the Jets did hire the passing game coordinator from the Lions

 

 

 

Yes, I’m aware.

 

The last time the Jets hired a head coach before Aaron Glenn, four years ago, they brought in San Francisco 49ers Defensive Coordinator Robert Saleh, who in turn hired San Francisco 49ers Passing Game Coordinator Mike LaFleur as his offensive coordinator. Sound familiar?

The OC and the guy that called those plays is the head coach in Chicago. Who knows what role a "passing game coordinator" plays.

The best example was the Rams game last year, when the Bills had clinched the division the week before. Also, what in the heck happened in that Jags game?

That’s an interesting one…the rams took off towards the end of the season.  They won 5 in a row then benched starters or it coulda been 6 then ended up taking the eagles down to the wire in the divisional.  Not sure if that bills rams game qualifies as a trap game

 

The jags game 100% is a great example though for sure 😂. That was awful

What?  No Spero? No Ian? No Solomon Wilcotts? Is it even a 1 pm game then?

Romo used to be one of my favorites, but now he's less articulate, more liable to ramble and lapse into platitudes and superlatives instead of sticking to analysis.

I like romo, but get annoyed by Nantz.

I'm really thankful our LBs and safeties are going to get another look at an RPO style offense with a mobile QB. Sunday was eye opening. In addition to likely having to play Ravens again in PO, there's a good chance we'd see Eagles if we make it to SB. 

 

Our tackling has to be better. Our angles have to be better. Our read and react has to be better.

I get it,but go back and watch last week's game, they already have a different vibe.

I wonder if or when they activate Landon Jackson? Seemed like there was so much enthusiasm for him out of the draft, and he had some good looking college tape. Hope he's getting it together.

I’m guessing it will be awhile .. he’s significantly behind in his development. Who does he replace ? But in fairness none of the DE’s were particularly good Sunday.

26 fair to middling players on defense.

There are some similarities between the two teams but I also think it's overblown. Nobody else in the NFL is Derrick Henry in terms of his size, speed, and ability. He forces defenses to do different things even more so than Lamar does. 

 

The key is to get ahead early and make Fields throw the ball. If you do that, this one will be over early. 

 

My main offensive complaint with McDermott's post-Daboll approach is that he seems to prefer CONTROLLING the game in the first half, rather than WINNING it. He could help his poopy defense so much by just unleashing Allen early and often. Then they could run more and lean on teams with a lead in hand, if he insists.

Like many are pointing out, the Jets and Ravens have a lot of similar traits. The two big thing that stand out for me is that Hall is no DH and Fields is no Lamar. Facing the Ravens was a really nice opportunity to remember how to play teams build like this. Things like setting the edge, gap integrity ECT...

 

Jets are like the Great Value brand of Raven football. I expect the Bills defense...who actually played well late in the Ravens game, to be fine tuned and ready to easily shut down the Jet offense. 

 

And while Allen does seem to get bottled up by the Jet defense...we all saw his stats against the Ravens in last year's. Yet he went off for almost 400 passing yards and is likely to win OPOW honors. I see him having some success against the Jet defense. But now that defense  doesn't have CJ Mosley. No DJ Reed. Heck they gave up 4 TD passes to Aaron Rodgers and he's 127 years old. Josh should eat well Sunday.

We have to be smart about this game. Every time we go to NYJ, it’s the same thing. If we take care of the football, run well, play pretty good defense and ST, we can win comfortably. I would prefer a very conservative game plan. Take points when you can get them, etc. 

 

Well then have I got a Head Coach for you!!!

Josh Palmer mic’d up during Ravens game. Thrilled we signed him. He’s a FIT!

 

Yeah he's fitting right in. I'm kind of liking the flexibility we are getting in the pass game where I get the same selfless vibes of Everyone Eats but everyone is a little better and we have some more options to choose from.

I would love to know the percentage of games that people said have the makings of a letdown game actually becoming a letdown game 😂. Feels like it gets said every time we play someone bad and it hardly ever happens 

I think they will trend upwards eventually (unfortunately) but it’s probably gonna take them awhile to get in a groove with the new defensive scheme. It’s probably good we got the road game early 

 

Every week people here find a reason to have a "bad feeling about this game."

They do but at least we got 1 weeks worth of tape of their new look offense and defense. We will be ok. Fields is no Lamar. I also don't think Pitts defense is the same standard as their defense of the past.

[Max Fischer]

For this game, I almost wish the Bills get the ball first with the opportunity to score a touchdown and put the Jets on their heels.
 

I think an opening drive touchdown would put added pressure on the Jets to “keep up” - knowing that if they don’t score they can easily be down 14 by the end of the first quarter.  
 

Most opponents don’t have the patience to “stick” to the run and instead quickly turn one dimensional, which helps the Bills lean into their base package and tee off on the pass rush.  

 

[SydneyBillsFan]

Look, it's not rocket surgery:

 

Load up the box and make Fields beat you with his arm.

 

Do that and we win.
