Rex Is Expecting A Different Jet Team This Week

This has become clockwork in the AFC East. Gailey and coach Todd Bowles went for it on fourth-and-4 from the 7, but Fitzpatrick’s lob to backup tight end Kellen Davis fell incomplete in the end zone. Bill Belichick says nothing. One source described Ryan and Whaley as being in “lock step” on the matters of personnel, and though he’s not in the executive offices, center Eric Wood said he believes that to be the case.

But most Bills fans would prefer a Buffalo win this Sunday regardless of their affection for Fitzpatrick. He just might be drifting to the Belichick side of the spectrum.

“Obviously, it’s a Rex Ryan defense, [so] they’re going to be aggressive”, Fitzpatrick said.

The Jets (10-6) were then knocked out of playoff contention when the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6) beat Cleveland 28-12 shortly after the final whistle sounded in Buffalo.

“The thing that kind of gives this team a black eye when we’re looking at it is that I let my mouth get ahead of everything”, Ryan said on a recent radio interview. I’d imagine that there’s going to be information regarding the game, but that information has no bearing on how, or what it is, that we need to do in terms of our play.

Williams is no longer the Bills’ most high-priced player after the team signed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to a six-year, $108 million contract in September. He was just another guy after buying a home in Lake View, where he played touch football with kids in the street. We’ve had a lot of things happen this year where we’ve felt, where we’ve came up short. “But I won’t be calling him, or anything of that nature, this week if that’s your next question”. I thought I’m telling the truth”, then: “I just think, when I’m like, ‘Hey, we’re gonna be in the playoffs.’ I just honestly, 100 percent believed that. “Doesn’t mean I’m going to change who I am or how I go about my business, I can promise you that”. “I’ve never been looked at as a problem”. They had just botched a punt snap on their last possession, and momentum was clearly in favor of the Jets. And since I nor any other Jets fan has any idea who that is, I chose to look at some Bills players that we should actually be concerned about come Sunday. In the receiving end, Brandon Marshall had 115 yards and two touchdowns in eight receptions while Quincy Enunwa added 69 yards and two touchdowns. We need to win to get in.

“When you get it, you understand it. You understand legacy”. That is fine if that works for others. Why do they struggle so much against the Bills? Though media guys like us think that’d be motivation, the New York Times’ Ben Shpigel points out that Fitzpatrick is probably more focused on getting to the postseason. There’s nothing wrong with having confidence in your team, but it makes you look like a joke when you continually fail to deliver on your promises. But Ryan isn’t taking the bait when asked about spoiling New York’s playoff hopes. He simply plans to tone it down himself.

Sunday is shaping up to be a Super Bowl of sorts for Ryan, who can make a big statement against the team that fired him previous year. It might not be as much of a blowout as in Week 8, but I would be shocked if the Patriots lose this game.
