Steven Jackson getting acclimated to Patriots

But while NY was no danger to New England for supremacy of the AFC East this season, that could be subject to change in the near future because, less than a year after cleaning house, the Jets appear to be on a path toward legitimacy.

Week 16 will be full of exciting games that could potentially decide which teams are playoff-bound and which will end up watching them from home. The Jets have been absolutely dominating the time of possession in this game, and they need a stable of running backs if they’re going to keep that game plan going. On Sunday, the Jets wide receiver is taking apart the Patriots defense, scoring two touchdowns through the air. Have them take the day Sunday. Patriots looking for 17th series sweep vs. Jets, and second straight….

“Our schedule is set up a certain way and we just have to go out there and do it”, the quarterback added. Brandon Marshall was held in check for the most part the last time he saw the Patriots and cornerback Malcolm Butler, collecting just four catches for 67 yards. Being able to kind of come back and winning in the fourth quarter and overtime. I don’t think anyone should be afraid of the Broncos if they somehow end up getting the first seed.

The biggest takeaway from the Dallas game was role players stepping up in big moments. No extra pressure. We just know it’s an important game.

Despite playing in the National Football League for 11 years, Fitzpatrick has never truly been in control of his own path. He was the starting quarterback for three teams, the Bills, Titans and Texans, that were short on talent and high on instability.

Jets: The Jets must win today and hope for losses by Kansas City (against Cleveland) and Pittsburgh (at Baltimore) today and by Denver (against Cincinnati) on Monday night.

Since taking over the Patriots in 2000, Belichick has won six AFC championships and four Super Bowls with a seemingly simple defensive strategy: stop the opponent’s best offensive player. That would allow the Jets to slip into the postseason. You can bet Johnson’s bottom dollar that some of the Jets players who have been tormented seemingly forever by Belichick and Brady are sick and exhausted of it, but they have been brainwashed that there is nothing they can do about that now. The Patriots are a machine, though, and aren’t going to go down without a fight. Boldin had two more receptions on the opening drive, helping San Francisco take a 7-0 lead against the Lions. Their true colors will be shining in the biggest game yet. “It’s a rivalry game”.

While it’s taboo to talk about these things post-Bountygate, the Jets surely wouldn’t complain if a clean, legal hit on Brady were to become the first domino in a chain reaction that leads him out of Boston. That’s not quite so simple, even for a defense of the Jets’ caliber. He’s having yet another terrific season with 66 catches for 1,072 yards and 11 touchdowns. “He’ll find the weakness”.

We are moving ever closer to finding out the haves and have-nots this season in terms of the play-offs and one of the teams still in there grinding for every yard and point are the New York York Jets.

On reflection, I get the impression the Jets probably lacked that little bit of self-belief at the time to finish off the job but this is a team that has grown in recent weeks and a loss here will not be down to any confidence issues. “So hopefully, we’ll continue to improve in that area as a team”.
