Perennial All-Pro
What do you call Sheldon Richardson, Mo Wilkerson and a running game that has ran for a ton of yards the last three weeks vs. the Raiders, Panthers and Browns...all run defenses that are superior to the Fins at stopping the run?
I agree I'm nervous about this game as well. I just see Junc having a nice offseason of ribbing on here I wonder if we'll try to spin it :). On a positive note the Jets do not have the edge rushers that require the kind of attention that Mario Williams does so maybe it will not be as easy for them to get a strong rush on Ryan. Maybe we can just go man on man on their ends, no doubles or rolling protection like we did for Mario which was supposedly opening things up for everyone else and the Bills had other guys winning their man to man battles. We best stop the run. Maybe I'm seeing thing but I felt like the Bills tailbacks were running into crowds and popping out each time. Seemed like the line was holding up but there were no LB's/S's to make the tackle. Much like the first game we need to make Geno beat us. IMHO 8-8 is still a disappointing season but we did see some QB development which is a positive. We need to rebuild the O-line, find a #1 RB, a complete TE and new LB's in the offseason and we'll be much improved. For the TE comment I love Clay but I'd rather his role be mismatch maker and not #1 TE. Maybe I'm being greedy but I think we need a better blocker for that #1 TE spot and teams would have a tougher time game planning for Clay (which obviously they have over the last 2 weeks) if he were more of a piece we moved around while we already had a competent TE in the game (probably the original plan anyway).
Make no mistake guys if we lose I don't care what happens in the other games the JETS knocked us out of the playoffs. Lets not do to Junc what he does to us and come back with, "No not really they wouldn't have gotten in anyway". Many fans were annoyed with him saying that at the end of 2011 so we shouldn't do it either, but I guarantee we will :).
