Official Game Thread: New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills

[gmf1369]

​

The Bills can sweep the Jets for the first time since 2014 if they beat them this week. They bounced back from a 16-0 deficit to knock off the New Yorkers back in the season opener in September. Buffalo sacked Jets quarterback Sam Darold in that game and won it 17-16.

The Bills will try to sweep the Jets for the first time since the 2015 season.

On the other side, the Jets are struggling to find signs of progress this year. They have won five of seven, but the wins have come against the likes of the Giants, Washington, and Miami.

First year head coach Adam Gase had three tough years in Miami before coming to New York. He is 29-35 in four seasons. His teams have lost 26 games by double digits; 12 games by at least 20 points. Once every four games, his teams lost by at least 18 points.

Gase has already been given another year to pull it together in New York, which is a sticking point for Jets fans.

Josh Allen gets another shot to put his best foot forward against another member of the 2018 QB draft class. He needs it.

Allen is 0-1 vs Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson and 0-1 vs Baker Mayfield this year. He’s never faced Josh Rosen in a game.

Against his buddy Darnold, Allen is 1-1. He won the season kickoff game this year and lost last December in Orchard Park.

We will crush them...

 

[Oraelo]

We will crush them...

Of course we will. The only thing we would gain is a worse draft spot

Our team is a Fucking laughing stock

We don't need to win this one, just play well enough to show our improvement and make it a very close game.

 

[Greentilldeath]

Jets win this one 20-17.

Once again, I'm in the "who gives a shit" camp about this game. Whether we go 6-10 or 7-9 it's just another lost season with no playoff hope in sight. What's this, like 10 years now?

 

[MiJetFan]

Hey look at it this way. At least they have a chance to finish with single digit losses for the first time in a while. I predicted 7-9 or 8-8 and that is an accomplishment, especially since this roster is putrid and Gase is a constant disappointment. I'm not happy with being average just surprised they got to this point I guess? Tell me you wouldn't have taken this record before the Season without knowing the details on how they go to it?

They have definately improved even though at times they looked worse. Also we have to consider that they have had to deal with an extreme injury fallout problem. Again also consider who is doing the play calling for offense. All things considered they have managed to show improvement. I won't bitch too much about the season.

I won't bitch too much about the season.

Yea really can't complain, considering the season was over by Columbus Day

We usually make it till Halloween

Another season of excuses and "by golly, we're on the right track and will be just peach keen awesome next year". Look at our roster, HC and drafting history. Unless a meteor with transferable intelligence and skill crashes into the Jets training facility and HC/GMs offices, we're here at this time next year saying about the same things.

Oh no I have no Illusions. This team sucks in so many areas it isn't funny.

I do not say "Gosh" about anything. Shit I don't think I've ever heard "Gosh" used in an actual sentence outside of a movie until I moved here to the Mid-west.
No this team sucks and needs a major roster overhaul. With the way they have played I'm surprised they have a chance to win 7. Will they? Yes. It's the Jetsy thing to do. Jets win today.

 

[hatnlvr]

[hatnlvr]

[hatnlvr]

Wildcat with a dancing RB is just stupid

Or an ordinary plain dumb meteorite crashes into the Patriot training facility with Belichick, Brady et al inside......

I'll let them worry about their issues. We've got a boatload of our own which should take another 3-4 years to even correct a fraction of them.
