Bills host Jets in AFC East Showdown
This could be a red-faced October for the Jets. Watkins caught just four passes for 43 yards in the season opener but intends to play despite a sore foot. So besides putting the players’ health at greater risk by making them play with only three days rest between games, they dress them in clown outfits. Due to their hard schedule to start the season, the Bills present the Jets with one of their easiest games to start the season. Forcing the Jets into mistakes would be a good way to both prevent their offense from building momentum but also give the Bills offense some good field position.
Last season, Buffalo really had the number of the Jets.
This week, the Buffalo Bills are going to lose at home to the New York Jets because Rex Ryan can’t coach an offense. “This is just a football game now, and I think that’s kind of how everybody views it”. Sammy Watkins, who suffered a broken foot in the offseason, is now facing concerns with further discomfort.
“LeSean McCoy gets 100 yards rushing and Tyrod Taylor adds 40 yards rushing”.
We should expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to increase his productivity as he gets more into the system after missing so much time with a contract hold-out.
Rookie Brandon Williams struggled in his first career start for the Cardinals in a season-opening loss to the New England Patriots. Jets also own revenge factor after getting knocked from playoff spot in loss to Bills in “15 season finale”.
“That was a tough one for me to get over, ” said Fitzpatrick, who went 20-33 as a Bills starter from 2009-2012. Despite going 10-6 in 2015, the Jets lost to the Bills twice.
“There [is a] sense of urgency”, Coach Todd Bowles said in a fit of understatement.
“I’m assuming what he [Watkins] said is accurate”, Ryan said.
The Miami Heat forward who had each of his last two seasons halted by blood clots that were discovered at the All-Star break said in a podcast released Wednesday that he “absolutely” intends to be with his team for training camp that starts in the Bahamas on September 27. There were some reports early in the week that Watkins was going to be out, however, he said he will be playing.
It’s almost written in stone that the New England Patriots will win the AFC East…at least as long as Bill Belichick is coaching the team.
That was among the worst lines of any starting quarterback in Week 1, but he now gets to face a Jets defense that can be exposed. While Ryan has publicly downplayed those concerns moving forward, in a team-produced documentary, “Rex and Rob Reunited”, the fiery coach went on a profanity-laced tirade that’s one for the ages. “It’s just one of those things, I guess”.
The Buffalo offense flatlined by totaling only 160 yards in a 13-7 loss at Baltimore in Week 1.
