Colts vs. Eagles should be interesting. - Both QB's are in the mid-tier and trying to get up to that upper tier of elite QB's. - Both offensive lines give up alot of sacks and negative plays. - Both defenses are pretty average. - Colts have zero running game / Eagles have a really strong one with Shady and Sproles. - Colts are at a home. This one is a tough call. My gut feeling is that the 100 or so yard difference between the running games will make all the difference and the Eagles pull out a really close one.
Aaron Rodgers is a damn good QB, definitely elite, but the Packers are going through some injury issues. They lost their starting nose tackle and 2 of their better offensive linesmen. If we can exploit them, it will be with the pass rush and running the ball down their throats. Lynch had a field day with them and their secondary didn't seem all that great either. It will probably be a very close game, considering our secondary isn't that great. If Milliner is back, our chances increase greatly. The Jets absolutely have to limit turnovers and penalties to win this one.
I still think letting Greg Jennings walk was the biggest mistake the Packers made in recent years. Here's his numbers with Rodgers starting from 2008 - 2011. He was injured in 2012. 2008 - 80 receptions, 1292 yards, 9 TD's. 2009 - 68 receptions, 1113 yards, 4 TD's. 2010 - 76 receptions, 1265 yards, 12 TD's. 2011 - 67 receptions, 949 yards, 9 TD's. If you are going to primarily be a passing team and plan on winning alot of games then you need 2 great receivers. At the moment that have 1. This is also why the Lions are a sleeper Super-Bowl team this year. Calvin Johnson on his own is good but if that's all they have then whatever. Calvin + Tate though is scary and we saw that tonight.
One minute you're all foaming at the mouth at the thought of signing cobb in fa next year, the next he sucks.
We must get the same highlights package on TV over here. I was fuming. Totally brushed aside him completing over 80%. Even the shovel pass TD was mentioned more in the light of Tuck had a chance to make a play on it. Look on the bright side, the more that people underestimate us, the more we can surprise them.
His peak was 2011, yes. That was a ridiculous MVP type season. It's unrealistic to expect that to continually happen though. I think he'll stay in this top 4 category for a few more years easily. He won't be dominating the league like that just because it's so hard to do.
Exactly. Dude wants to say he is declining, yet he is still putting up all world numbers any jet fan could only dream of. It's like Kevin Durant averaging 25 ppg next year, and calling him on the downside of his career.
Im not trying to take away from his 2011 season, but the lockout helped all the offenses. We had Stafford, Brady, Brees, Rodgers all throwing for 5000+ yards I believe, and Eli fell 70 yards short of 5000.
It seems that GB is vulnerable against the run. I think that big days from Chris and Chris (and maybe Bilal) could put the Jets in a decent position for a W.
I know it is a tall order but one can dream, right? Shaky Pats going against Peterson and company in the Vikings season opener and losing? On the other hand Jets maybe stealing one from the Pack and going 2-0? What are the chances for Jets to be up 2 games over Pats and if this were to happen what would this mean for the division race? Seriously, can't wait!!
I would worry about rodgers rolling out and making plays. Outside pressure and hope snacks can get enough push to not allow rodgers to step up.
I believe its more likely that the Pats lose on the road in Minny than our Jets pull off a win in Lambeau.
We may get our asses kicked big time in Green Bay. That is the realist in me, but as a NFL fan this early in the season anything can happen. Who know, Green Bay can become the Falcons of 2013...One never knows
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2014/09...ounce-back-against-high-flying-new-york-jets/ not sure i would call us high flying but the pack should put in a better overall performance at home.
Is anyone else worried that we don't have a true deep threat on the outside? That worries me more than anything else ( I am confident in our cornerbacks) but we need to put points up these next few weeks and we may be playing from behind at some points which negates our running game.
Check out the Jets on the road in 2013: -13-10 LOSS to Patriots: Geno played AWFUL. -38-13 LOSS at Titans: Another terrible Geno performance. -30-28 WIN over Falcons: Definite bright spot of the road season. Geno looked very good. -49-9 LOSS at Bengals: Worst game of the season for the whole team. -37-14 LOSS at Bills: Another really bad performance. -19-3 LOSS at Ravens: Could not do much at all vs. Ravens D. -30-20 LOSS at Panthers: Not terrible, but not great either. -20-7 WIN at Dolphins: Geno finished pretty decent, with a nice win in Miami to knock them out. (2-6) will not get it done on the road this year though, if the Jets want to make the playoffs. And the games are not easy either. Starting this week at Green Bay, then at San Diego, New England, Kansas City, Buffalo, Minnesota, Tennessee and Miami. Now, obviously it is not easy to win on the road, but I think the Jets will need to go (4-4) to make it to the playoffs. Hopefully Geno is more comfortable in his second year, as crowd noise can rattle a rookie QB I am sure. The Jets' Defense needs to help and they will. I expect a big improvement on the road.
Yes, I am to a degree. We certainly have the ability to a very proficient short passing game (as exhibited in week 1), but it remains to be seen whether or not we can make big plays when we need them. It may be possible that most of our big plays will be coming from our running game (we have two very explosive running backs), which excites me quite a bit.
