New York Jets leave nothing to chance with freakish Stateside arrivals

In English soccer terms, Jets-Dolphins was distinctly mid-table.

The club declined to comment when the BBC contacted them earlier. The Jets’ 20-7 halftime lead was their largest vs. the Dolphins since 2001, and their 282-65 yardage edge was their fifth-largest against any opponent since 1981.

Whether or not the ball touched the turf or the receiver before it was caught will likely never be known for sure, which is what gave the play and this game its divine name. The Dolphins are well-supported in the United Kingdom, a legacy of those years when National Football League games were broadcast free-to-air on Channel 4 in the 1980s and 90s.

“Sometimes it seems like the walls are closing on on you but can’t panic”, he said. “You don’t normally wear blue blockers or have (artificial) sunlight while you are eating breakfast”.

While the Dolphins are enjoying the trip to London they also realize what’s at stake.

The Dolphins had the longer flight – 81/2 hours – and players wore compression sleeves on the plane.

Defensively New York is going to have to worry about much of the same-none of the Miami receivers are going to burn Revis and Cromartie on the outside, but they are quick in intermediate routes. In 2014 they came home rejuvenated by a 38-14 victory over Oakland.

It should be noted, however, that the 2014 game kicked off at 6 p.m. London time.

If the Dolphins start this game poorly again, suggesting their preparation is lacking…

In the opening quarter they’ve been outscored 27-3 and outgained 467-108. Even when he had two and three guys on him, he figured out ways to grind out an extra yard or two. “We really haven’t done that”.

Fitzpatrick threw deep to Brandon Marshall on New York’s first play from scrimmage, connecting for a 58-yard gain.

A loss to the Jaguars two weeks ago took the wind out of the Dolphins sails and last week’s blowout loss to the Bills didn’t help matters much.

“This was a tough decision for me to make, knowing how tirelessly Joe worked in his four years here to make this a winning team”, Ross said in a statement. That made him the first Jet with three consecutive 100-yard receiving games since Al Toon late in the 1988 season. Last week’s horrendous performance is not indicative of the talent this team possesses, and to under estimate them could be a fatal mistake on the Jets part.

The Jets (2-1) were ready to anoint Ryan Fitzpatrick as their savior and already publicly stated that he would remain the starter when Geno Smith returned from a broken jaw.

Suh, the highest-paid defensive player in league history, has seven tackles so far, but no sacks.

The Jets have no quarterback controversy – yet. Bowles may take the upcoming bye week to iron out a few of the problems.

Rather than focusing on the erratic form of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick or their team’s chances of reaching the playoffs, Jets head coach Todd Bowles was asked about his team’s toilet paper and wisely opted not to weigh up the merits of bathroom tissue on either side of the Atlantic.

The biggest issue that the Jets need to clean up following this one is the penalties.

“Coming to London was good for us,”he said”.
