Jets-Bills Thursday Night Football Recap

By Djack

An AFC East battle of the lesser New York teams played last night. It was quite the shootout and made for very entertaining television, but it wasn't necessarily great football. The Jets played very well, the offense picked apart the Bills defense, and they were able to score at will. The Bills managed to stay in the game by having some breaks go their way, they had the big play element on their side so they were able to score fast. The Jets defense looked good despite the scoreboard saying they let up 31 points. The Bills on the other hand looked awful, the defense was incapable of making stops, the blitz wasn't there, and their red zone defense was embarrassing. Rob Ryan is clearly an awful defensive coordinator that doesn't deserve a job in the NFL, he had the worst ranked defense with the Saints last year, and his defense has looked lost the last two weeks. The Bills need to get rid of the Ryan brothers ASAP, these guys are just a walking joke, if you think two goofballs can lead a team to a championship, I feel bad for you. A few footnotes on the game, Darrell Revis got cooked for an 84 yard touchdown, now everyone is saying he's done, even though it was the fastest guy in the league. Marquise Goodwin runs a 4.26 40, so what if he burned Revis on a fly route, shit happens Revis is getting older, but if you think he's done you're out of your mind. I know he's had a couple of rough games to start the season, but he is dealing with a wrist injury, and last time I checked when Revis is in press coverage he's most effective, and with the wrist injury that's difficult for him to do. Fitzpatrick played a great game last night, he threw for over 300 yards, and was ridiculously efficient. Matt Forte was a fantasy team owners dream last night, he had 30 carries, 100 yards, and three touchdowns. The Jets won the game 37-31, and bounced back nicely from a tough loss in the hardest game they could've played, short week, on the road against a division rival. I'll tip my cap to little brother this week, well done.
