Absolutely not. There is no context there. When the offense turns the ball over in their own red zone, does that tell the whole story?
Jets 24-13. Bold Prediction: We'll get a KR or *wait for it* a PICK SIX! Bold Prediction 2: Defense allows less than 300 total yards, Big Mo & Coples get 2 sacks a piece. Bold prediction 3: Geno has a INT free game, but fumbles once still.
YEW make a valid point....an ineffective O will no doubt put the defense in precarious positions - regardless of what the stats say. Drive killing penalties, int's, fumbles all work against the D with respect to total points allowed.... However, it can support other stats such as yards allowed cause the opposing O has a shorter field.
I remember back in about 2002, the Jets were 2-5 and going on the road to face San Diego, who were a much better team at 6-1... Going to 2-6 would have been pretty devastating. The Jets ended up surprising, winning that game in a landslide and ultimately getting hot and going to the playoffs. They started that season 1-4, actually with multiple blowout losses early on. Ya never know... Maybe they can surprise in this game and get hot.
Yeah, I've noticed that, which on the surface seems a statistical anomaly. But it really isn't when you look at the way the O has left the D with poor field position too often. There's just not all that much yardage opponents have had to cover in order to score. I will slip in here below the radar an admission I hope my enemies do not notice, though. Walls has been playing a bit better than I feared.
Again, you are wrong. Yards allowed is also a function of where the O gives the D field position. After the D gives up a TD, they come off the field. They have no "opportunity" to give up any more yards. Imo you have to look at a number of stats to get a fairly accurate picture. Yards allowed standing alone can give a very distorted picture.
I remember that game, and the Jets were the tougher team, and presented matchup problems for the Chargers. The Jet Cb's in particular frustrated Rivers. I don't see that happening on Sunday. Different Jets team.
I don't see how the jets don't win this game. Have you guys seen the injury report? Their best guy on the D line is questionable with a concussion Their OLBs, Freeney is questionable, Ingram is out Their ILBs Butler is questionable, Te'o is out. their backup Walker is doubtful. Their CBs, the rookie Verrett is questionable, their #2 CB Wright is probably out. Their OL, their RG Clary is out Their C Hardwick is out, their backup Ohrnberger is probably out. Their RB Mathews is out, Their backup RB Woodhead is out. That's pretty extensive. Richardson and Wilkerson should have a field day and they can't run and their D is a mash unit.
They still have Keenan Allen though, one of the best route runners in the game today. He's going to have a big game more than likely.
4pm west coast games have never been kind to the Jets. I don't see anything different this time even with the "best DB in the NFL" back on the field. Rivers will have his way with our secondary. Their defense will stack the box and dare Geno to beat them thru the air. The results will most likely be the same. Close game but another loss for the NYJ's.
Dennis Waszak Jr. @DWAZ73 Rex says Nelson "wasn't bad" moving around today. "I was a little shocked" #Jets 50m I would rather not see Nelson force the issue here. He should get healthy first ...especially since he wasn't too effective before anyway. Want to see Kerley, Salas and Powell with Graham providing deep threat.
heh, thing is that if you really have a top 5 defense it doesn't matter. In 2009 and 2010 the Jets turned the ball over alot yet the defense still ranked #1 and #5 in points allowed both seasons. Part of the problem is the defense doesn't generate turn overs so far, if the Defense were just average in creating turnovers the differential would only be -2 instead of -5. It's true that the Jets offense is tied for 21st in the league in give aways but the defense is ranked #31 in takeaways. Don't get me wrong, I'm not laying this all on the defense (I've always been a staunch defender of the defense and still am), but the defense has some serious issues which need to be addressed. Not as many issues as the offense has, but the defense this year isnt an elite one either.
Decker is questionable and a game time decision. Nelson was listed as doubtful but Rex was "stunned" by his improvment today.
Give me SALAS! Sit on the fucking bench Nelson we are not playing basketball here and dont need you to box out CB's for 0...I repeat 0 potential for YAC
I am sorry. I thought we were talking about the game in SD in I think it was 2009? It wsa a playoff game. I don't remember the 2002 game, frankly.
