This is a rhetorical question, but they lost because they played poorly when it came to fundamentals.
1) They lost the turnover battle with a -3 differential (3 ints by ****zpatrick and 1 fumble by Spiller, compared to just one turnover by the Jets).
2) Even worse, the Jets capitalized on our mistakes as they turned our turnovers into 24 points, take away the pick that was returned directly for a TD and its a 41-28 game, take away the Folk FG resulting from the Spiller fumble, which set them up at their 47 yard line and its 38-28, another ****zpatrick pick started the Jets at their own 48 yard line and they onely had to go 52 yards for a TD. Take away that turnover and its Jets 31-Bills 28, take away the Revis pick that started the Jets on their 40 on their second drive and its Jets 24-Bills 28
3) We couldn't turn their give mes into points and they turned our give mes into points. The Jets scored, and you may want to sit down when you read this or if you are sitting down you may want to stand up, 31 points off of our turnovers and give mes (24 points off turnovers and 7 off a kicking teams miscue during the punt return). Take away those 31 points and its a Bills 28-17 victory. Oh, and it gets worse, see we had a chance to capitalize and win the momentum battle and take it to them after the Sanchez pick. We should have ran the ball and came away with a 3 or a 7 on that drive but instead they got a pick fom Fitz and took the momentum away. Yes when you have 4 turnovers and bad special teams coverage in the first half of the game you are going to lose every single damn time
This loss is squarely on the shoulders of Fitzpatrick and the Special teams. You can attack the Defense if you want, but the Jets only scored 17 points when we didn't help put them in a position to score. Our offense, especially Fitzpatrick cost us this game
4) They won the penalty battle 6-5 as we had 6 and they had 5
The Jets did not beat us, we lost to them. The good news is that when you take away those 4 turnovers and the 24 points they generated off of them and you take away the cheap points they got off that punt return and this is a Bills 28-17 victory. As a result I think the Bills are a much better team than they demonstrated yesterday and I don't think the Jets are anywhere near as good. Hopefully this loss will serve as a wakeup call and we'll come out pissed off and focused against the Chiefs. Mental mistakes can be corrected, but the question is can we correct them?
