if we have any hope at all for this season we need to pull the upset. after this game the sched gets much easier than it has been this last month. I can't believe we haven't won up there since the playoff game in January of 2011.

If you are thinking the Dolphins have a shot at the Division then you are hoping for a Jets victory. NY always plays the Pats tough and they have been good at pressuring Brady which is what you need to do to beat them.

The problem is that Geno Smith is the QB and you can't expect him to have better than a decent game. Beating them would require a great game on his part and there is nothing to indicate he is capable of that.

I don't think beating NE requires Geno to have a great game, it requires Geno to avoid the big mistakes which he may or may not be capable of but I wouldn't say he has to play great. Didn't play great against them last year and we beat them once and had a great chance the other game and in the game we beat them he had a HUGE mistake throwing a pick 6.

I think Geno's margin for error is quite a bit less this season and that's simply because the Jets are not playing well. I will credit the defense for stepping up against the Bronco's but I suspect the Bronco's were not playing their best either. The Jets secondary is a mess and the OL is not playing real well either. You didn't have these issues last season.

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

Rooting for the Jets, as horrible as that is.

 

[Ben Had]

If the Jets dont stop bradys dinks and dunks it will be a long night. Also, if Geno has one of his classic melt downs the Vick supporters will be too much for Rex to hold off.

This is Genos biggest game of his short career.

to be honest it looked like the Den O put it in cruise control after they went up 24-7. they almost let us back into it and gave us a chance but I think if they really wanted to they could have blown us out. In the first qtr and a half the D played great but starting w/ Den's 1st TD through the last TD they moved the ball at will.

NE doesn't have as much talent for the QB to throw to which should help but it's going to be difficult to win this game.

No, no, no. That's not how you're supposed to do it. That's grotesque. Allow me interject here, if you will.

"I'm rooting against the Patriots".

Ah, much better. This way you can remain true to your original sentiment without defiling yourself. :up:

I don't think Rex is in trouble, I think it is all media speculation. I know Woody loves him and I think Idzik likes him.

 

[hoops]

my prediction is over by halftime and my tv will be on the college game va tech and pitt by then...i expect another ugly thursday nighter

 

[WVDolphan]

I can not wait to LOL @ the Jests tonight.

I am hoping for something similar to Thanksgiving 2012. Buttfumble part 2 would be great.

Perhaps Geno could come up with something original. Maybe he will get frustrated, take a snap, turn straight around and heave the ball out of the back of the endzone, and storm off of the field all pissed off like a big ****ing baby. That would be outstanding.
