First and foremost, I'm not some type of "Troll", as alot of online sports fans love to call fans of opposing teams. When the Jets and Bills are about to play eachother, I'll come over here and say a thing or two about my team or the game, when the game is over...Win or Lose, I'll stick around for another day (At the most) to either show face, or accept the Loss as a fan.
I go by the name of DefenseWinsChampionships over @ JI,Com, I've been on BillsZone for about 3-4 years now and honestly... No matter how bad the Jets or Bills have been over the years, when it's the Jets vs Bills, this site has always made for really solid Football talk. It may sound crazy, but this is the only other site that I post on, and thats because I've checked out the Patriot sites in the past, I've checked out the Dolphin sites in the past and man... Jet fans are not welcomed over there, so I asked myself years ago, "Whats the point of signing up and talking football, if they never talk football"? And thats the reason why BillsZone has always been the only opposing fan site that I post on.
Lets first talk about my Jets. I've been a die hard Jets fan since 1995 (Since the age of 10-11 years young) And I'll be honest here Buffalo fans, this may not be the best overall team that we've had (That would belong to the 1998 Jets followed by the 2004 Jets) But damn Buffalo Fans, this is by far, hands down, without a doubt...The most talented Jets team that I've ever seen as a fan.
The young potential talent with players such as Mark Sanchez, Shonn Greene, David Clowney, Dustin Keller, Dwight Lowery, and Vernon Gholston
The proven Young Elite talent with players such as Darrelle Revis; who's the Best overall CB in the game today, David Harris; This kid was ranked as the #1 ranked 3-4 MLB coming out of college 3 years ago, his rookie season he had a monster season with 120+ tackles to go along with 5 sacks and you know whats crazy? He only started in about 8 games after Vilma went down to injury. If Harris would have played and started in all 16 games, he would have been the Defensive Rookie of the Year, hands down. Last year, he was banged up but this year...He's back to making impact plays, he's already at 40 tackles but you cant judge this man off of tackles...He takes up blocks, he does what a 3-4 MLB is paid to do...He helps this Defense in more ways than one. Other than Revis and Rhodes, he's by far, my Favorite Defensive player on the Jets followed by Kris Jenkins. Nick Mangold; Already known as a top 5 talent at the Center position, D'Brickishaw Ferguson; A talented Franchise LT, a player who's played and started in each and every game since being drafted by the Jets and a player who's made sure to get better with each and every year thats gone by, Braylon Edwards; Did you all see that game he had on Mondy night? Talk about exciting. The Jets now have that elite 6'3+ #1 WR that we havn't had since Keyshawn Johnson, this kid is only 26 years of age. Jerricho Cotchery; this man really came into his own as the Jets #1 WR before the addition of Edwards during the 1st 4 weeks of the season, he was actually ranked as the 5th best WR in the league (Production wise) after the 1st 4 weeks of the year as our #1 WR. All in all, it's rare to find a #2 WR with as much talent and potential as a Jerricho Cotchery. All in all, Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery now make for one of the best 1-2 punches at the WR position, same goes for T.O and Evans. Leon Washington; Enough said...I've always been a die hard FSU fan, I was in shock when the Jets drafted this X-Factor years ago, he's always been my 2nd favorite Seminole to watch behind Peter Warrick. He's an explosive back once in the open field, he reminds me of a younger Bryan Westbrook. Kerry Rhodes; I could go on and on about Kerry Rhodes, when you think of top 5 safetys in the game today, or over the past 4 years, you think of Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Bryan Dawkins, Bob Sanders (When healthy) and Adrian Wilson, but guess what? Kerry Rhodes is next in line, this man is a great Safety and a safety who really doesn't get the credit that he deserves (By Jet fans) but everyone else around the league knows how special his talents really are. All of these players are 27 years of age or younger...The future here in New York is exciting, now we have Rex Ryan running the show? As a Jets fan, I've never been this pumped up.
Lets not forget, I always keep in mind, that the Jets also have some veteran leaders to help lead these young guns such as Alan Faneca; Still one of the best run blocking LG's in the game today, already a lock for the HOF, still only 32 years of age. Thomas Jones, He's the work horse type of back that this Jets young Offense really needs. Thomas Jones had the most rushing yards of any AFC back last year and lets not forget how underrated he is, he actually has the 2nd most rushing yards of any NFL back over the past 4 seasons, only L.T has more rushing yards than Thomas Jones during that time. Tony Richardson; This man is older than dirt, but he's still lead blocking like an All Pro FB. This man has led the way for backs such as Marcus Allen, Priest Holems, Larry Johnson, Adrian Peterson as a rookie, Thomas Jones last year, and he's still doing his thing for this Jets offense...I'll miss the man once he calls it quits in about 2 years. Kris Jenkins; Enough said...One of the best 4-3 DT's/3-4 NT's in the game today...Where would this Jets Defense be without Kris Jenkins? Who knows? This man is a freak of nature, strong as an Ox and plays like an Animal on Sundays. Lito Sheppard; He's been banged up here in 2009, but damn...Lito Sheppard and Revis make for one of the best 1-2 punches in the game today @ the CB position. As a Jets fan, I'm really wishing that Lito Sheppard plays this week for the simple fact...He's known as the T.O killer over the years. Sheppard has shut down Owens better than any other CB has over the years. Sheppard on T.O, Revis on Evans...Could make for some great matchups. Bart Scott; I cant say enough about Bart Scott, this man has already become the Jets Defensive Leader under Rex Ryan. Bart Scott and David Harris really make for one of the best 1-2 punches @ the MLB position as of right now, they should only get better with playing time and experience together. Not only does Bart Scott bring that nasty toughness to this Jets Defense, he's also great in stuffing the run and many NFL Experts has considered him the best MLB in pass coverage on TE's and RB's in the flats. Calvin Pace; All I can say is this...It's great to have Pace back from his 4 game suspension, he's been our best pass rusher from the outside over the past 2 years, cant wait to see what Rex Ryan does with this man. And how could I forget about Shaun Ellis? He may not be a J-Abe, Dwight Freeney, Mario Williams, Jason Taylor, or Peppers type of 4-3 Defense end who puts pressure on the QB all game long, but as a 3-4 Defensive end...This man is really solid. Not only does he take up blocks really good, but I'm not sure I can remember the last time he's missed a game. Parcells drafted Ellis, Herm Edwards played Ellis, Eric Mangini took over the Jets while we were a 4-3 Defense, converted us to a 3-4 Defense (Thank you Mangini) and still played and started Shaun Ellis. The same thing is happening right now with Rex Ryan, a Genious of the 3-4 Defense.... He's also playing and starting Ellis. Ellis may not be respected around the league, but die hard Jet fans know what he means to this Defense...He's the motor that will never break down or quit trying. I respect Ellis as a fan.
All in all Buffalo fans, I know that this thread is already pretty long, because I was talking about the talent we have on this Jets fan but honestly, as a Jets fan...I really enjoy when opposing fans make threads like this on the Jets site...Gives me something to read, something "Different" I guess.
This team has a talented rookie QB running the show, many of mistakes will happen, but we also have an elite O-Line, a tought rushing attack, an elite Defense and a coach, in Rex Ryan, who the players enjoy playing for. Will this Jets team make the playoffs? Who knows, but one thing is for sure...The future of this team is really bright as of right now.
As far as the Bills-Jets game goes, man...This game could be a war zone...An AFC East rival game is always a crazy game...Jets vs Pats, Bills vs Dolphins, Dolphins vs Patriots, Jets vs Miami, Buffalo vs NE...You never know who will win the game, it's never a safe bet to bet on these types of AFC East games (I know I never would). This game should be a real battle this week. The Bills may not be having the best of seasons as of right now, but the talent is there...The threat of a W is there.

I think it's going to be ugly (for us).
