Bills & Jets ‘Color Rush’ Uniforms A Complete Eyesore For Everyone, Especially
He knew the play call. Bills LB Nigel Bradham left in the third quarter with a cut on his nose after his helmet flew off while tackling Ivory, but soon returned…. NY Jets head coach Todd Bowles confirmed this at his Friday morning press conference. All he needed was one touchdown.
The pass landed two yards away from his oblivious target.
“It’s pretty satisfying, without question”, Ryan said after his Bills beat the NY Jets 22-17 on Thursday night.
On fourth-and-4 from the 7 and with a chance to take the lead, offensive coordinator Chan Gailey had Fitzpatrick throw a fade for Kellen Davis – but the ball floated over the tight end and landed harmlessly in the end zone. “I don’t know if he got bumped or caught up or what happened there”.
It seems like every game in the National Football League is labeled “a must-win” or “the biggest game of the year”. The Jets’ offense appeared to be out of rhythm and the play calling by Chan Gailey was often too conservative. After an eight-yard run by Ivory to the 5-yard-line, Buffalo forced back to back one-yard losses. For the first time since the Bills’ Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Ryan actually has results to point to instead of just promises. He went 15-for-34 passing and threw a pair of interceptions in the loss.
The Bills got the ball out of the break and appeared to assert dominance and control over the game on their opening drive out of the locker room.
“We did test the jerseys this summer on field and on television”.
The Bills had a 12 to 3 lead at halftime.
That field goal followed rookie Karlos Williams’s 26-yard TD reception on the first series of the second half. Since the Jets have ten days to prepare for their Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texas with a bye-week ahead of them, he may have time to heal.
The Jets have to hope the surgery allows Fitzpatrick to regain his pre-injury form.
Jets fans have had their hearts broken by the their favorite football team time and time again, and the loss to the Bills was no different. “But we knew we’d start clicking and so there was still confidence”. You saw the fight and all that. It makes red and green look basically the same, meaning during the game it looked like all 22 players on the field were wearing the same color jersey. Had the Bills struggled on defense and indeed lost the game, it would have left Rex in a very hard position, with road trips to Foxborough and Kansas City on tap. When Colton Schmidt lined up to punt, things got interesting.
The merits of going for it on fourth down in those situations can be argued to death, but the plays and the execution need to be there when the Jets are presented with such golden opportunities, and on Thursday night, they simply weren’t. But a few people watching couldn’t enjoy the game because they couldn’t tell which team was which.
