National Football League to consider colorblind fans for “Color Rush” uniforms next season
Losses are piling up, injuries are mounting and fans are frustrated. But despite it all, there is a silver lining: Thanks to a watered-down AFC this year, the Jets are in the thick of the wild-card hunt with Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Oakland and Houston.
The next month and a half will speak volumes about the Jets’ talent and mental toughness. I’m not going to look back and say we should have won this game. The Bills didn’t even play that well, as they had no offense to speak of after they had gotten a few breaks that allowed them to take a 22-3 lead midway through the third quarter.
Chan Gailey knows what the deal is. Stacy underwent surgery Friday. “We’ll see how it goes, but that’s the intention”, said Fitzpatrick, via ESPN. He averaged 5.9 yards a carry on 19 attempts.
Next week’s Thursday night game features the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans, who will wear gold and light blue, respectively. For them to struggle on defense – while Ryan’s former team had one of the league’s best units – caused Bills defenders to question what they were doing. Marshall doesn’t have blazing speed, but he’s got the height and size to break games open. “He’d played against this opponent before when he was in San Francisco…” The ones that didn’t, I don’t look at as mistakes.
Bills Head Coach Rex Ryan is off to a good start as his defense did a lot of the leg work that led to his first win over the NY Jets, who employed him from 2009-2014 as that franchise’s head coach.
Can the Jets make the playoffs with their current level of play on defense? Then finally, Decker fell into the end zone. The key to the unit’s success is simple: Get more turnovers. Of the two, the Jets have the easier remaining schedule with their toughest tests coming in the final two weeks of the season: hosting the Patriots before traveling to Buffalo for the season finale. Instead, the Bills trusted the young Sammy Watkins to beat one of the best cornerbacks in the game and to secure the first down. Thursday night’s poor gameplan to start made it hard on Fitzpatrick to throw in rainy conditions. Check-plus! The players fully grasped what was on the line for their coach.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. With a sweet victory in hand in front of the crowd that used to cheer him, Rex Ryan absolutely let loose. They had a different quarterback this time, former Bill Ryan Fitzpatrick, but that was because IK Enemkpali – one of Rex’s hand-picked co-captains for Thursday night – broke Geno Smith’s jaw with a punch last summer.
What may have caused the poor game for Fitzpatrick could have been the result of a busted left thumb.
Bowles claimed it was too early in the game to go for two.
