Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick undergoing thumb surgery, may not miss a game
After back-to-back 17-point efforts though, Buffalo will head into its next game – a primetime showdown against the now undefeated New England Patriots and the league’s top offence – with confidence gained.
Ryan’s explanation is a bit confusing; Johnson was only in San Francisco in 2014, when Ryan himself coached the Jets.
“I can tell the truth, this thing is kind of like being dumped by a few girl you have the hots for” said Ryan. And you guys can equate. “That’s really what it feels like, and you know…” “Hey, you move on and every now and then they call you back, but they can’t get you back”.
The 52-year-old coach spent six seasons at the helm of the Jets before being fired in January.
“He was a clown and an embarrassment to the organization”, said Mike Brodersen of Floral Park, New York, who said he goes back to the days of Walt Michaels as coach in the 1970s and ’80s. The Bills finally have two wins in a row, finding themselves at 5-4 which doesn’t happen often to them. It would end its 15-season playoff starvation.
The season, of course, doesn’t end today.
The Jets starting quarterback expects to be back on the field for their next game on November 22, against the Houston Texans.
It would have been nice if the Jets (5-4 overall, 1-2 AFC West) would have won this game.
Buffalo’s next assignment will be a Monday night matchup vs. the Patriots in Foxboro.
“The media made it all about me, ” he said. That will be followed by a visit to Kansas City. Still, this is a winnable game.
They play well at times, badly at others, which is exactly how. And you know what? The first quarter ended with the fifth punt of the game while the Jets held on to what would be their only lead of the night, 3-0. Or do they just not know how to consistently put teams away?
The key for the Bills will be their health.
Even with the likes of LeSean McCoy and Sammy Watkins surrounding him on offense, the first-year pro from Florida State University has become the Bills most consistent scoring threat.
That touchdown catch kept Decker’s streak alive of touchdown catches in a game, as he has touchdowns in three straight games since November 1, 2015 when the Jets lost to Oakland 34-20. The captain tag is something that players vote on, head coaches they give their title to. He’s also doing a nice job managing Tyrod Taylor, who once again played turnover-free. No question he is the straw that stirs the drink. If he goes down, the Bills won’t be going to the playoffs.
The NY tabloids had their typical fun with Ryan Friday morning.
Fitzpatrick was 15-of-34 for 193 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Gang Green practically handed the win to Buffalo on a silver platter, their were countless opportunities the Jets were given to pull off the upset and defeat Ryan’s bills.
The NY Jets could only watch as Rex Ryan pumped his fists, jumped around the sideline and celebrated a victory-sealing interception.
Despite bringing in Michael Vick as the backup to Smith, injuries in the already-thin secondary contributed to a pass-friendly defense while issues of player discipline-most infamously Smith allegedly not being penalized for his lateness to a team meeting-cropped up.
“I was disappointed, but it was typical Rex”, he said.
The rest of the Bills offense is perfectly happy to keep setting Williams up a rise through the record books.
Bowles made another in-game error by trying to run out the clock late in the first half against the Jaguars last week.
WROC correspondent Scott Pitoniak has covered the Bills since 1986 and written five books about the team’s history.
