Washington at the New York Jets 1:00pm (FOX)

[NYJETSDAN16]

Sorry fellas, i just couldnt wait until monday to get this ball rolling. I hate the fact i dont get to watch our awesome team today. but..............

This bye week is huge all around: Players getting healthier, Sheldon coming back... and coaches fixing up some issues such as Devin/Fitz timing. Washington better get some extra sleep, The Jets will be a tremendous force once we hit the field next Sunday.

New York will be coming off a hot start at 3-1. The team has great momentum on their side. Some would have rathered us at 4-0, but sometimes the old adage of "you learn more from losses" definitely comes into effect at the current record we have. The team was living on cloud 9 against an average team vs Philly. We fell on our face.
IMHO, that helped us get back on track and demolish Miami.

The focus is now on the Washington Redskins. A QB that can be had. Their O-Line can be dominated by ours the moment the whistle blows, especially with Sheldon coming back. Kirk Cousins will have a long day fellas.
Our WR's will also be at full strength as we get Chris Owusu back, Decker should be 100% and the timing of Smith's speed with Fitz should be better with their extra time off practicing with each other.

I'am sorry folks, i just don't see the Jets losing this one. I feel Todd Bowles isn't a coach like his predecessor here who also took a week off from football. I feel this coach studied & will continue to study the hell out of the Redskins and will implement a demonic game plan against them. He continues to place our record in perspective. We're 3-1 which means nothing at this point, there's plenty of work to do. Bowles will have the Jets ready for the Redskins.. Setting up a classic on the 25th @ Foxboro.

Lets take care of business first with Washington.... T-Minus 7 days!

I believe the Jets announced they only did 2 film studies this week, no practice or only 1 practice. So smith and Fitz would have to be playing together in the backyard.
But yes the entire nfc east should be wins for us. Hopefully we don't pull that garbage that happened against Philly.

Making the trip in to NJ with my son for this one. My 2nd trip to the new stadium -- really looking forward to it.

We've seen this team perform quite well this season. We've also seen the team not show up. What matters is what team actually shows up. They are limited on offense and special teams, but they have a very good, albeit unproven, defense.

So I'm not ready to sing their praises quite yet. We know the defense is going to be good, it's just a matter of how good. The offense and special teams could completely ruin games for the entire team.

The next couple of weeks IMO will be a very good test for this team. Washington is no slouch. They are not a very good team, but they are playing up to their capabilities IMO. That's in contrast to almost every opponent we've faced so far this season. Beating Washington will be a feat. It won't be a huge feat, but it will be a feat just the same.

The week following is the real test and a test that I do not believe the Jets will pass. I do believe the Jets can take one from the Patsies this season, but I do not believe it will come in two weeks. We'll also find out that we still have a long way to go to reach the elite level.

Yep no Ivory,Decker the ST giving up a td and the dumb lateral didn't help..:dancing-poop:

After last season, going 4-1 would be huge for us and should mean a very decent season for us come January!

Getting Sheldon back is a big plus for us as well, although not sure how rusty he will be after being out for some time!

If we could lose to Philly we could lose to Washington.

I was confident before the Philly game - this time I'll hold off until after the game is played . . .

 

[jets82]

Washington played the Falcons tuff, real tuff. Jets better be more then prepared next week or they will lose as they did to Phila, if they sleep on the Skins.

Theres no sure win with this team. Washington could very well come out firing and beat us if our offense isn't up to the task or if the team gets off to a slow start like in Philly.

I have complete confidence in the defense doing what they do best and shutting teams out however if the offense doesn't respond with scoring drives of their own and leave the opponent with a chance to win then eventually it's going to bite us in the butt

Good teams weather the storm and then take their shots for the win. We haven't faced a good team yet but

 

[Elias]

One thing to add is that Washington has a very strong run game with Alfred Morris and Matt Jones. Hopefully with Sheldon back we can limit the big runs we've given up during games so far.

One thing I wont miss from the Rex Era is the week after bye week. Every year the team comes out flat as a pancake and looks like crap. The last 2 seasons it was against the Bills. Recall last year's infamous Percy Harvin Debut/ Geno total implosion game.
I hope Bowels is on top of that or we're not beating anyone.

I'm uneasy about this one - As mentioned The Skin's are proud and looked tough against top notch Atlanta. NE looming the following week. Hopefully the Skinny's shot thier wad in coming up short against the Falcs and will show up emotionally deflated

Any one who is looking past the Skins at NE could be in for a surprise. Not only did the Skinks take the Falcons to the wire, they also beat the Eagles.

Very concerned about this game after the team was given a week off

look at it this way.. we absolutely had people who needed an extra week to heal up & bowles very well might have a real "bye week" game plan..

we'll see sunday..

Agreed -- sounds like a lot of the guys who were banged up are good to go in practice this week:

Rich Cimini ‏@RichCimini 3m3 minutes ago
Jets practice: Early participation for Willie Colon, David Harris, Leonard Williams, Bilal Powell, Calvin Pryor, Eric Decker. #nyj

Owusu appear to still be out:

Connor Hughes ‏@Connor_J_Hughes 6m6 minutes ago
Chris Owusu not practicing today. He's out here in gear, leg wrapped, hanging out with coaches #Jets

 

[dabigyear]

This one is in the double you column.
Don't win this one and there will be huge trouble ahead. These are the games you MUST win to get within sniffing distance of the playoffs.

I wasn't actually criticizing the fact that Bowles gave them the week off, the team is very beat up, and could use the break.

I just hope he can get them back in a football state of mind very quickly. As you said, we'll see Sunday

Sorry to hear that. Think Owusu's 4.31 speed can take the top off the defense better then Smith can at this point

the redskins gave the undefeated falcons all they wanted in ATL so getting them back in game mode shouldn't be a tough sell.. LOLz at least i hope not..

i'm very interested to see how well coach bowlse handled the bye & what wrinkles will be added with an extra week to game plan for a specific opponent..

if we are to be a playoff team this season, IMHO you need to defend home field against a formidable redskins team & get to 4-1.. period..

we all know who we got week 7..

Yeah, really can't argue with any of that.

5 weeks in, really a good test as to how the players have bought into Bowles, and his methods. I'm not going to give a prediction, because I predicted the Jets were going to shellac the Eagles. We know how that turned out. I'm done playing seer for the rest of the year.
