Prior to Bills last match up vs. Jets ,Buff. was humiliated by Brownies in a 6 - 3 slugfest, largely due to disfunctional coach and QB combo.Yet the following week,as a demoralized team,Bills managed to take Jets to overtime in a game which they dominated and should of won. How things have changed since that game with Coach Fewell and QB Fitzpatrick taking control of resurging Bills.
One of many factors going against jets tonight ,is Fitzgerald's mobility ,compared to Edwards immobility. Furthermore,Jet CB's Lowery and Strickland are listed as out ,which is good news for Buffs WR L. Evans who keeps killing Jets with big time plays.
With Fitz at the helm,indoor turf,odds of success are far greater than with an immobile Edwards at QB.
Fitz tossed 297 yards vs. Jax ,followed by 246 yards vs. Miami while rushing for 50.Should have great numbers again tonight.
Jets have just beaten a pathetic panthers team vs. Delhomme who is having a miserable year.Before that one,Jets lost a stinker to Jax. Sanchez tossed 5 interceptions vs. Bills last time out n' with Bills leading league in interceptions,one would believe Hobbled Sanchez will be handing off the ball to T. Jones who should have a great game vs. NFL's worst rushing D.
Jets ran for 318 yards in last meeting .Other Jet bright spot,
is Pro Bowl bound CB D. Revis who has handled better than TO in past games.In fact TO was a no show last meeting but then again that was Edwards at QB. Still, this cat is more than capable of handling T O.Jets major concerns ,will be covering WR Lee Evans and a scrambling QB . Seems as though Buffalo traditionally plays well ,year after year,after the Bye, while having none shot at the playoffs.Last year was the exception ,though they did manage to beat Denver and KC on the road in December ,while losing to Jets by 4.
Either way,this game should be close,with Fitz and rest of Buff team in the zone.who typically play jets tough.
With Jets Playoffs hopes on the edge, would not be surprised for Bills to succeed in spoiler role,Blowing past NY, with Sanchez experiencing typical growing pains .Crowd should be divided with Jets n' Bills fans, a far cry from playing indoors in New Orleans that could help Sanchez making less mistakes.
This teaser seems too hard to resist...
