On paper it's very hard to see how the Jets can lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars. We have been waiting to see our beloved Jets deliver in all three phases, all in the same week. Our offense, defense and special teams have all had stand out games this season, but they haven't made it happen all at the same time. We have dropped 4 of the last 5 games, and because of that we need to go 4-0 over the next 4 weeks. The Jaguars are not the most complete team we will face during the second half of the season. If we aren't clicking on all cylinders by the midway point of the season it's going to be very hard to have much hope as the season progresses.
Jacksonville's game plan each week is no secret. They have one of the most non-impactful QB's in the history of the league. He isn't putting up 300 plus yards and 4 TD's on you. They are going to attack our patch work D-line with their elite RB. I will be watching to see if our leaders on defense will set the tempo. Scott, Harris, Ellis, and Revis need to make plays early and often.
This is our house, if we can't dominate this team and fix our special teams issues now, I have a hard time feeling optimistic about next weeks game in New England. On the offensive side of the ball I would love to see Mr. Sanchez break the 300 yard mark and put up 3 passing TD's. He has all of the weapons any QB could ask for.
I believe in the talent thats on this team, frankly our biggest question mark is not our rookie signal caller, it's our rookie head coach. Rex is very aware that this weeks game can sink his reputation as a first year coach. His team has lost quite a few games in recent weeks, mostly because of sloppy play and penalties. His response heading into the bye week was to send the team off on vacation instead of trying to dot the I's and cross the T's. This may very well pay off, or it may blow up in Rex's face. If we lose this weeks game at home, I see very little chance that we will go up to New England and beat the Brady bunch.
4-6 after a 3-0 start will be like throwing a 300 pound rabbit into a lions den. The NY media will eat Rex alive and leave nothing but bones behind.
