    Studs

    Anderson - Easily the most explosive WR we've had in some time. I feel McCown holds him back a bit. look at the bomb ryan threw to julio. no way McCown makes that throw to robby. Probably why he shined most with petty at QB with a bigger arm. regardless 6 for 104 and a TD is a great game (and 1st 100 yard WR we had this season) he's really coming along as a full WR and his ball skills are underrated as is his route running. Maybe we were wrong saying he isn't a starting WR in the NFL

    McCown - for his limits, he is still playing really well for us. in a tough game in the rain he matched ryan's output pretty much. 26/33 257 yards 2TDs 0 turnovers

    Edwards - another great day punting for him. 5 punts 3 inside the 20 and a 45.8 avg with a long of 60.

    Davis - was all over the field and led the team with 8 tackles (7 solo)

    Wilkerson - another great game with 5 tackles and a sack. maybe he's healthy again? He's starting to look like the wilk of 2 years ago

    ATL center - for gifting us 3 fumbles (credited to ryan) 2 of them we recovered

    claiborne - held julio in check all game. his big catch was against another CB

    tomlinson - 1 catch but it was a 20 yard TD. he always seems to make big plays from the TE position. with him and ASJ we appear set at TE all of a sudden


    Duds

    Kerly - sad to see him on the list but a huge muffed punt that probably cost us the game. that's 3 games this year we've had a killer muffed punt. realistically between that and penalties and a terrible call we could easily be 5-6 wins instead of 3 right now. things just aren't going our way


    Forte - he looked good receiving the ball but bitched about not getting more caries despite Powell and maguire clearly being the better runners at this point. he needs to accept his role as a 3rd down receiving back.

    Bowles - too many penalties on our team this season. he needs to fix it. this game was 6 for 50 yards

    catanzaro - 2 missed FGs inside 50 in a game we lost by 5 points. they were huge misses


    Other notes: ATL was gifting us fumble after fumble but we failed to come away with a win sadly. we won the TO battle 2 to 1. The muffed punt was the 3rd big one this season for the jets. the other 2 were from a player that was cut after the 2nd one. Our 4th quarter defense needs help. that's 2 weeks in a row we gave up a 4th quarter lead. For all the high picks on D and the shit talk about our offense, at this point our offense is better then our defense

    FWIW the AFC east is again a dominant division a combined 18-12 we are the only sub 500 team sitting at 3-5. no other division has 18 wins and only 1 other division has 3 teams over 500
