In about one hour we'll take the field, at home, against our division rival, the Miami Dolphins, and talk about a game that we must win. After last week's embarrassing loss to the Patriots, we can not afford another loss. The most obvious reason being that nothing is guaranteed to us and even though we begin last Monday at 9-2, the possibility of 9-4 is pretty close, and daunting, and should scary any and every Jets fan. But the other reason is all mental. After such a whooping last week, we don't know what Jets team will take the field. Will they be pissed and ready to roll? Or will they be questioning themselves and tentative? A fast start is a must.
The weather will not be the best at the Meadowlands this afternoon and in my opinion favors the Dolphins. Shockingly their quarterback plays his best football against us but it's their running game that is scary. They have two pretty decent backs and the always dangerous formation of Wild Cat in their pocket. The Jets can not allow them to control the line of scrimmage and keep possession of the ball. If that happens, at the end of the game we'll be seeing Sanchez have to sling out there and with his past few games, who's overly confident in that?
What we all need is the Jets offensive line to prove that they are one of the best units in the league and allow Tomlinson and Greene to average over 4.5 yards per carry and the true Ground&Pound come alive. Allow Sanchez to take shots at times, when it's the right time, but not all the time. Keep our defense off the field and allow them to stay rested and fresh in the 4th quarter.
