yes but is he 100%... Rex has a history of putting people out there that may not be 100% ....

weathers looks like 33 degrees, scattered snow, 20 mph wind.

Need our runners healthy in these conditions.

There is no way that the Bills should want this game more than the Jets. If that happens then this is not the team we are believing that it is.

Pretty much nailed it. If the Jets don't come out full throttle for this game, I don't know what to say. Weather looks like it could play a part in a lower scoring game. But the Jets are a superior team and they're relatively healthy. A superior team that stumbled and fumbled around last time and basically handed a game to the Bills.

A loss here would be a big buzzkill.

Heavy dose of Ivory/Ridley. Especially if Powell doesn't go. It's a shame that the Jets are running into bad weather right about the same time the passing game is taking off. This could be a 13-10 slugfest. Full of slips, trips, falls, and missed FG's.

yes ,but on the flipped the Jets are the best at stopping the run so if the Bills have to pass that's in the Jets favor.

We went to the passing game because our running was non existent , especially when we were a run first team.

Please checkout my first unofficial mock draft if you have some spare time.

Thanks

Hams first unoffical mock draft

Wentz in the first?

I'll stick with Petty thanks

Yes, I would think whatever motivation the Bills have to keep us out of the playoffs should be at least matched by our motivation to go to the playoffs!

 

[NYJETSDAN16]

Really???!!! Let down? We've come all this way to start doubting?

Screw that mentality, we're crushing Rex and the jills!

& i don't believe they will..

i'm more excited about the jets getting to 11-5 than nervous about losing & missing the playoffs..

ALL TRUE and it should be suffice to guard against a letdown, unfortunately the type of letdown I fear is an "emotional letdown", and thats a lot harder to guard against because its not something you can intellectualize. You can know the stakes and respect your opponent and still have a letdown if you are emotionally spent.

All you need to do is think back to 2010. We had just beaten the Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs, at Gillette, in a game where NOBODY was giving us a chance. The Patriots were supposed to make mincemeat of us in that game. Only a month earlier they CRUSHED US (45-3) in that building. But we went in there and shocked the world, and when it was over, Bart Scott famously quipped "CAN'T WAIT!!" about going to Pittsburgh with an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl.

Who could ever have expected a letdown in the AFC Championship Game?

THE IDEA of a letdown in the AFC Championship Game seems preposterous on its face, and yet, thats EXACTLY what happened the following week because the team was emotionally drained from beating the hated Patriots, and you can't guard against an "emotional letdown" with your head, you can't fill an empty gas tank with knowledge, the great coaches know when the tank is on E and they know how to refill it.

First they know that they MUST refill it, then they know how.

Rex just assumed the stakes would suffice, but he assumed wrong. Even afterwards he admitted that he didn't realize how much that NE game had taken out of his team, but by then it was too late. In fact they woke-up in the second half, when the reality of being down 24-3 slapped them in the face, and they tried to mount a furious comeback, shut the Steelers out in the second half, but alas it was too little too late, 24-19, and I'll go to my grave believing it was that NE game the week prior that beat us in Pittsburgh more than the Steelers.

We just couldn't match their intensity in the first half. They were at DEFCON 1 and we looked like we were sleep-walking thru the first half, no passion, no intensity, no sense of urgency, NOTHING, we had NOTHING to start that game, it was inexplicable considering the stakes, but it literally took us 30 minutes of getting kicked in the face, getting kicked from one end of Heinz field to the other, to finally WAKE UP and play like it mattered to us.

Thats what I'm fearing this week and I hope Todd Bowles is fearing it too, enough to do something about it.

I think the Steelers always give us a tough time. I don't think it is a let down. Ham we win this one, no problem. The Jets are just a much better team, no matter what they throw at us. Talk to you soon about the playoff matchups.

The thing I'm getting nervous about is if Rex throws caution to the wind and plays the game unconventional .
A ton of blitzes , throwin the ball all day all,wacky stuff.
Of course you can't play the season like this but one game with real nothn to lose?
And then it could all backfire on him but that's Rex.
Jets 31-0

It's not doubting. It's realism. This team has disappointed in big moments before.

With that said... Love this tweet from Kimberley Martin:

"So many Jets fans in Buffalo, it seems like I'm at Garden State Plaza".

Thanks Bigmoe

I don't like it, I don't like it one bit. The knock on Fitz has always been that he's a bad bad weather QB because he doesn't have the strongest arm. Thats partly what ended his career in Buffalo, hot starts and poor finishes when the weather turned bad. This season he was lucky, we did not have one bad weather home game, no bad weather road games either. This is actually the first bad weather game we'll be playing in all year. Hopefully he can handle it.

The good thing is usually when Ham freaks out he is wrong. He brings us mojo on game threads though. Not calling you out, Ham!!

 

[Bigmoe]

I'm not gonna lie, I think we're gonna win, but I'm nervous as heck about this game.

I'm gonna need a couple of Benadryl's to get some sleep tonight, otherwise I'm too wired up.

This game is HUGE. I cannot stop thinking about it. Already told the wife to take the kids somewhere tomorrow until it's over. Then it'll be family time. But while the Jets are on... Just leave me alone.
