I heard this morning on the radio that the Jets D has prevented a first down on the last 18 attempts 3rd down from an opposing offense.
That is insane. And we get Sheldon back.

A motivated Sheldon is a good thing.

The two biggest (and valid) criticisms of Rex Ryan were that his D couldn't get off the field on 3rd down and couldn't generate turnovers. Both of those things have improved in a huge way. I think it's due to both Todd Bowles and better personnel. This is a fun D to watch. |

The analyst that brought this up also mentioned that on all 18 attempts, it was essentially a different play call or at least a different disguise each time. Switching between Man and Zone, Blitzing and dropping into coverage. Mixing it up, which is a credit to Bowles, counts for a lot. |

That's all anyone talks about when talking about the Jets, when they start talking about the O that will be something to be happy about.

this is exactly why this team needs to be taken seriously even by morons like patsfantx and ff2. i'm preaching to the choir here but to be really competitive a team must have a good offense and defense, superlative offense and so so defense, or superlative defense and so-so offense. right now the jets have a superlative defense and a little above so-so offense that can trend to good. this team can go far if they catch some breaks and avoid the injury bug, catch some teams at the right time and keep playing har game in and game out. it is certainly refreshing after last year's meltdown and even the last 3 rex years.

to be really competitive a team must have a good offense and defense, superlative offense and so so defense, or superlative defense and so-so offense. How about a mildly stupendous offense, a nearly marvelous defense and wiked good special teams?  |

The Offense has only played against a decent Eagle D so far I wouldn't say they are a little above so-so and if one thing goes wrong they are in trouble of which I won't give examples of here. |

Yes teams are usually somewhat balanced but there have been examples although more with a lights out D, SB Saints were lopsided with an O. |

I'll take it!! Especially if we'll be pairing that with a defense that ranks 1st in points allowed. Hopefully it keeps up. |

I hate to agree, but even with the upgrades at the skill positions and solid line play, there simply isn't a QB on this roster that amounts to much against top defenses. Can't say it enough: this league is all about the QB. |

Here's a crazy offense stat, or factoid if you prefer On a consistent basis year in year out like all the other SB contenders so many things factor in sure I guess a few months can turn into a season but your bound to run into a buzzsaw eventually consistency is the name of the game. Luck is one of those factors and now you might be asking for extra luck no one gets extra luck. |
