I like the aggressive attitude of trying to score, but wow, you just can't risk the chance of turning the ball over and giving up points before halftime when you have a lead.

Are you running around a BB looking for people to put down? No I'm not comparing real life, I was just making the point that it was funny that the run was killing them and seemingly for no reason we started to force the pass. Now I'm sure Saunders probably saw something that the Jets were giving him. Really I'm just saying he's smarter than me football wise, but the only offense I call plays for is on a video game, so that is why I brought it up.

I wonder what some of the people on the Jets boards are saying?

Yeah, it is the "put them away" mentality that we all wish we would have had during the 90s. I liked it too, I just couldn't help imagining Saunders up in the booth looking at his plays trying to get some others the ball. Just kinda struck me funny.

Probably a whole lot of "we beat ourselves" threads.

Give Priest 4 straight carries on the goal line and he is going to get in on one of them. The ref was just saving everyone a play or two by admitting the inevitable.




:D

like I said earlier, the Jets didn't want to waste a challenge on it.

I don't know if anybody noticed it, but there were 2 or 3 plays in the second half the Jets ran where last year, and the year before, probably would have gone for 25-30 yards that got blown up 5 yards downfield. I started watching them unfold, did my usual "shit, here we go again," when suddenly a red jersey comes flying out of nowhere-lo and behold! DJ!!! I saw him make a couple mistakes in pass coverage, but I don't think anyone is gonna beat us running the football.. :)

This is one time where they would be partly right.

Pennington couldn't hold on the friggen ball today to save his life. It was like Gun had a Chad voodoo doll and kept sticking the needle in the doll's hands.

Yeah, DV reffered to that. Mentioned guys like DJ and Bell "flashing in" to make a play, where there would have been nobody last year.

Kinda reminds me of how the Chiefs D at home use to get into the QBs heads and make them look BAD. I can remember Steve Young in his prime among others looking lost in the 90s. I hope this isn't a one time thing, I hope it's the beginning.

That's the big difference tackling made today. I remember one time Knight missed a tackle, but the play didn't go anywhere. Other than that, I can't think of any of those 'gifts' we've enjoyed the last six or eight years where a guy should be stopped after two or three yards, and we'd eventually catch him 25-30 yards later.

Now if we could take care of the whole "TE over the middle" problem, we'd be golden.

On that first fumble in the shotgun, he was looking at Sammy Knight showing blitz, rather than watching the ball at the snap.

On the fumble on the center exchange, he was focusing on the LBs showing blitz, rather than the snap.

Yeah, they did make some errors, but in Pennington's case, it was pretty apparent that he was rattled by the Chiefs D.

They might have been unforced errors, but they were the result of a more aggressive, physical D.

even when he got the ball off he got smoked many times.

I LOVE IT!!!
