So I got a chance to see every play of the Jets and Chiefs game with the shortcuts thing offered free this week by DirectTV, and I have to say its amazing to see a game like that!
Anyways, the unfortunate thing was that the Jets looked just fine. How can they have considering they were destroyed?
Turnovers.
Some observations:
- They moved the ball well, when Chad wasnt fumbling. There were some good passes by Chad for 10+ yards and first downs. Most of his passes had more than enough velocity on it. And every time they ran a delayed handoff, Curtis picked up 5+ yards. They executed it well about four or five times.
- They got into the red zone while the game was competitve.
- Their receivers dropped many catchable balls. At one point, down 17 I think, Chad threw thre consecutive passes, two that would have been TD's from the Chiefs thirty. Even when they went for it on fourth down, Chad threw a catchable ball, but it was dropped. One of the passes even had the WR wide open at the five, but it was dropped!
- The Chiefs secondary wasnt as impressive as a near shutout made it seem. Like I said, the Jets made plays through the air, but too many time they hurt themselves with drops, fumbles, etc.
Plainly put, if you take away the ridiculous amount of fumbles, the Jets are still the formidable Jets this rivalry has always kknown. Dont expect no cakewalk this Sunday. On the other hand, Miami 30 Jets 10 :D .
