defering is a fad that 9 minute opening drives will end.
Very true, Ray. (If you remember, Rex talked tough all week about
deferring a week earlier when they played the Pats, but in the end, he
took the ball.)
I think that opening drive took any life that the Jets had right out
of them. Still, the Jets are a defensive team, and as such, you have
to make stops. It's not like they weren't on the field. They couldn't
make a stop in the first half. They are a team that relies on
emotion, and they spent all they had the week before against the
Pats. I'm not sure it would have made any difference if they got the
ball first, to be honest.
