I don't think the Jets will be in any position for a Wild Card, they need to grab the Division Outright.

THat's what irks me. Intelligent Defense, against KC (double covering Holmes), or a little better coaching in the second half against your Browns, and they would be completely in the Drivers seat. They are now, If they can run the table....but that is a verrrry long shot...

[hobbes1]

Though, at least from the Browns Game, Edwards seems to have learned that it is not a good idea to try to st on a lead....(I hated that even when Parcells was here...even if he does make it work.)

[NeoCaveman]

My team still has to play at New Orleans and Atlanta at home, and the Stillers have a one win lead on us. Maybe the Bungles can beat them this week since they won't have Tommy Maddux.

Our head coaches are still learning. I think Davis learned that too after blowing a 14 point lead at home against the Steelers.

[hobbes1]

Yes, we control our own destiny vs. Buffalo (this week at home) and NE, but Miami is one game up, but with fiedler still fiddling about the sidelines, that is IMHO a given....

However, there is still @Oak, and Denver & GB at home where they are just awful. (plus a trip to Chi...but they should be ok there...)

[hobbes1]

I have long been of the opinion, that if you are a good ground team and go in at halftime up more than 7, you should come out and run a no huddle to negate the oppositions natural tendency to stuff the line against your back. 4 wide and a good pass catching back, 3 and 5 step drops.

The farther you are ahead, the better it works...

[NeoCaveman]

but Miami is one game up, but with fiedler still fiddling about the sidelines, that is IMHO a given....

I made money beating up on Miami without Fiedler, till last week, they learned to play without him. Of course the Ravens are not a good team. I had heard that Fiedler may be back Dec. 1st, of course they have pushed back the date twice already.

[NeoCaveman]

I like that idea.

[hobbes1]

They got lucky last week, Baltimore is atrocious on offense.

[NeoCaveman]

Baltimore is atrocious on offense.

This is true. And Ray Lewis is not 100%

[hobbes1]

Me too. Hackett alluded to thinking along those lines after the Cleveland loss, so I guess all of my yelling at the TV is starting to pay off.

teams keying on Martin, it would be less effective

[NeoCaveman]

I just hope the Browns can play other teams like they played the Bengals this past week. I know it is a stretch, after all it is the Bungles. But they did contain Corey Dillon and the OL actually opened up some holes, first time this season.

[hobbes1]

Me too. I will take something between the Miami game, and the Detroit Game.
