New York Jets crack a top-10 list ... and no one is laughing
Rich Cimini, ESPN Staff Writer
Other than defensive rankings and late-night tweaks by former talk-show host David Letterman, the New York Jets haven't cracked many top-10 lists in recent years. But look what we have here:
In the new ESPN NFL Power Rankings, the Jets (4-1) have climbed to No. 8, jumping three spots from last week. That's pretty impressive, considering five of the top seven spots are occupied by undefeated teams. The only defeated teams ahead of the Jets are the Arizona Cardinals (4-2) at No. 4 and the Atlanta Falcons (5-1) at No. 7.
The No. 1 team? Come on, you know the answer to that. It's the Jets' opponent Sunday -- the New England Patriots (5-0).http://espn.go.com/blog/newyork-jet...ts-crack-a-top-10-list-and-no-one-is-laughing
i was on board a nanosecond after smith got punched in the mouth!!
i said here more than a few times, fitzpatrick could get us double digit regular season wins & make noise in the playoffs if we get there..
i suspected fitzpatrick would be solid but he's been dynamic!! he's got marshall on place to break every meaningful jets recieving records for goodness sake!!
let this soak in JFU because it's close to being undebatable..
marshall has been the best WR in the league so far..
ivory has been the best RB in the league so far..
the defense has been the best in the league so far & richardson isn't even in game shape yet..
believe!!

#Jets have 15 takeaways this year (8 INT, 7 FC). That’s 3rd-most in NFL (DEN 17, PHI 16).

The #Jets have allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL this season at 2. Closest second is Cincinnati with six.

Darrelle Revis is tied with a few others for second-most interceptions (3). Brandon Marshall is 11th in receiving yards (511) #Jets

With Week 6 in the NFL complete, Chris Ivory and his 460 rushing yards rank third in the NFL behind Matt Forte, DeVonta Freeman. #Jets

Six NFL Stats That Show the Jets Are No. 1
Posted 52 minutes ago

@rlangejets
Green & White Like Their View from the Top in Rush Offense, Total Defense, Red Zone & Takeaways
"We're No. 1." No, not in the standings and not in the ubiqutous online power rankings. But the Jets' strong start has resulted in any number of new and old No. 1 rankings in the NFL after six full weeks. Let's review:
1. Rushing Offense
Led by Chris Ivory and his blockers, the Jets rolled to 221 rushing yards against Washington, which lifted their average to 146.0 yards/game and their rank from seventh to first for the first time this season. Last time the Jets were No. 1 in rushing offense this late in a season: nine of the last 11 weeks of the 2009 season, when Thomas Jones held sway.
2. Total Defense
"We've been playing lights-out," said CB Darrelle Revis, and the No. 1 in total yards allowed/game bears that out. In holding the Redskins to 225 yards, the Green & White defense continued its climb from 4th to 3rd to 2nd to 1st in the past four weeks and is now allowing 269.2 yards/game. The last time the Jets led in total "D" this late in a season: the final four weeks of 2009.
And don't forget the scoring defense, which at 15.0 points allowed/game is No. 1 for the fifth straight week.
3. Yardage Differential
This is not a category the Jets normally rank high in. But with the 249-yard advantage over Washington, they are now the only NFL team averaging 100 yards more than their opponents, plus-110.6, to be exact. Last time first in this category? After last year's opening win over Buffalo. Last time this late in a season? It's before 1997, when my weekly records for this statistic began.
4. Sacks Allowed
One of Todd Bowles' and coordinator Chan Gailey's mantras is to limit QB sacks, and that's been achieved remarkably with the two sacks allowed of Ryan Fitzpatrick, easily No. 1 in lowest sack total and sack rate in the league. Further, it's on pace with the 1966 protection of then second-year QB Joe Namath, which allowed one sack through the first five games and nine for the 14-game season.
5A. Red Zone Defense
The Green & White's red zone "D" holds sole possession of first in the NFL for the fifth week in a row in terms of TD rate allowed (33.3% of opponents' RZ opportunities). The Jets are also No. 1 in scoring rate allowed for the third straight week at 58.3%.
5B. Red Zone Offense
These don't always work hand-in-hand, but the RZ offense likewise has roared up the charts, from dead-last in TD rate last year (36.2%) to third this year (73.7%). Also interesting: The Jets got charged for a failed RZ opportunity when Fitzpatrick kneeled from the Cleveland 10 to seal the opening-day win over the Browns. It counts, but if we factor that out, the Jets have scored on all 18 of their RZ drives (14 TDs, four FGs), a 100% rate that would be tied for the league lead.
6. Takeaways
The most amazing form reversal from a year ago is in takeaways. The NFL ranks teams in most stats by per-game averages, but turnover teams get ranked by totals, so the Jets' 15 takeaways, after Sunday's interceptions by Revis and Marcus Gilchrist, are third and the TO margin of plus-5 is sixth. But if we apply averages to the turnovers, the Jets' plus/minus is plus-1.0/game, tied for second. And the 3.0 takeaways/game is, you guessed it, first.
All this being said, skeptics can point to the Jets' strength of schedule — the five opponents' combined win-loss record is 12-17, a 41.4% SOS. And a game at equally chart-topping New England, such as the Jets have on Sunday, will tend to lower opponents' rankings some.
"We’ve got a long way to go," Bowles has reminded. "The season is young. You can go from the penthouse to the outhouse real quick." But the view from the penthouse this week should inspire the Jets to do keep doing what they've been doing to remain on or near the top floors.

Might be borderline trolling, but its definitely over the line STUPID!!

I am just "categorizing" some mind-sets the NYJ defense has displayed, on my TV.

I'll be man enough to admit I TOTALLY fell for it (though I did think it was a bit extreme, even for you) . . .

I was messing with everyone. What I can't believe is that everyone fell for it. I figured someone would pick up on the sarcasm detector.
Honestly, I don't believe the Jets can win this weekend. I think they are still a little too young and inexperienced. The team is rebuilding. I won't say it isn't possible, but the fact is, if they are going to win, they will need to play better than have in about 6 seasons. Not one phase of the Jets team IMO has played well enough thus far to compete with the Patsies this weekend.
Well the running game has been good enough to run all over the Pats. VS. the Pats we are in the any given Sunday mode. Brady makes most of the changes we have done mute except the running game. We aren't good enough to overcome any mistakes vs. Brady, but I can see 150 for Ivory this weekend. I think Bowles will have us way better prepared than Rex did for that game we lost 45-3 on Monday night in '10.

The Jets are not a young team they are 27 th in average age.
http://www.phillyvoice.com/ranking-nfl-teams-age/
Plus as Savage69 pointed out, yes it's true the Pats have won 3 out of the last 4 games. But only by a total of 3 Points.
Last year the Jets lost to the Pats 27-25 and 17-16. Not exactly blow outs. The Jets are clearly a much better team then they were last year. I think this game is up for grabs. http://jetsfansunited.com/forum/sho...triots-(CBS)-October25-2015?p=60159#post60159
