There is no reason why the Jets shouldn't improve to 10-3 with a convincing
victory over Miami on Sunday. We will also be 4-1 in the division and will
have ended any glimmer of playoff hope for Miami. Bank on it. Rex is going
to have the defense ready to kill. Sunday can't get here soon enough.
YES! YES! WE BEAT MIAMI AND THEN MEET THE PATS IN THE PLAY.... oh
fuck.....
I'll take my chances with another shot at the Pats.....and who knows - the
Pats might lose and we never have to play them. Like last year. And Miami
will be home. Like last year.
But I digress. Miami is really in for an ass kicking.
Yes Bam, last years' waltzing into to the playoffs against
insurmountable odds was truly awe inspiring, but I think you'll find
the end of this season may play out a bit differently facing some
decent teams who actually have incentive to win.
As a Dolphins fan I think the analysis posed in your OP is pretty
accurate. We are a poorly coached, offensively-flawed team with a
decent defense. I'd trade you a Henning for a Shotty in a nanosecond,
but odds are, neither of us would be happy with the replacement.
Henne is not good, and he's likely not ever going be above average.
From what I've seen of the Jet's D, without the predictable overloads
and full on blitzes, they don't seem to pressure the QB, but
unfortunately Chad is a guy who may do worse when he has time to think
about it. Given our running game is anemic, and our top two WRs are
either out or injured, a standard cover 2 will likely suffice.
I've never been a huge Sanchez fan, but at this stage of the game he
shows more promise than Chad, although I'm curious to see how he'll
handle a serious run of adversity. We've got a patchwork secondary,
and Keller and Holmes will likely post big numbers.
But, this is Miami/NYJ. Anything can happen and often does.
It should be entertaining.

We seem to be on the same page, rt. I've actually followed Miami
pretty closely this year because I think they are a decent football
team that would be right in the mix for the division. If it weren't
for the Jets getting embarassed on MNF, I'd say the game would be very
tight (and it still may be). But I think Miami is going to see a very
pissed off Jets team who is going to be looking to redeem themselves.
I expect the Jets to be very physical on defense. And while Henne has
had 2 good games against the Jets in his short career, I don't think
he will have one this Sunday.
Sorry if my post came off as smack talk - I was just a little riled up
after that major ass kicking. Hopefully my team will be as well :)
Thanks for the decent response.
Quality post. Kudos.
No worries. After all, I'm the invading germ in this NG.
After personally viewing the horror of Raul Allegre kicking an OT
winner against my fins in the early 90's, which determined the 8-8
Jets rather than 8-8 Dolphins would qualify as a wildcard, I firmly
believe anything can happen in this game.
And don't get me started on the "MNM"...

He's right though.
