Two Quotes of note:

There may not be an exact science to deciphering the Bills’ opportunistic defense, but the Jets are well-aware that they can use Buffalo’s aggressiveness to their advantage on Sunday. Although Chan Gailey’s ball-hawking defense leads the league with 14 interceptions and is tied for the most takeaways (18), Mark Sanchez & Co. should be able to capitalize on a unit that gives up 386 yards each week.

“They’re playing sound defense, but they’re also taking a lot of risks,” tight end Dustin Keller said. “That’s why they’re able to make a lot of these turnovers. If we protect the ball, there’s going to be some opportunities for some big plays.”

That's a big if, considering they had those problems throughout the season!

And that leads me to this quote:

The Jets’ success on the ground against the Bills — they’ve averaged 279 yards in the last four games against Buffalo — should create play-action opportunities for Sanchez, who hasn’t taken many shots downfield. He should have time in the pocket against a defense that has recorded only 1 4 sacks ( 25th in the NFL).

What the author fails to mention regarding the Jets defense is, for all their blitzing (at least twice as much, if not more than we do) the Jets only have 18 sacks. So they're 3 Aaron Maybin 3rd and forever sacks from being right there with us.

I just cannot stand the fact the Jets feel they've earned anything this season. Or Maybin insinuating that he never got a fair shake here. He's 225 pounds right now! Just beat these guys and shut them up!

Whatever. Dareus is going to be on a seek and destroy mission. Target: Dirty Sanchezes.

Wow, really?

We were exposed on D in weeks 2, 3, and 6. We were just lucky enough to come away with wins in 2 of the 3.

Yeah, because they'd be the FIRST TEAM EVER to do well against our defense.

I will never understand why a team like that feels they need to run their mouths. Who the heck have they beaten? One team with a record > 0.500 (barely) who just lost to the Chiefs? They blew their chances at a championship the last two years and they're on the wrong side of the hill.

What the hell does the this year run defense have anything to do with the 09 and 10 run defense. Our run d is leaps and bounds better than those defenses.

So then by your idiot logic the Bengals and Giants were "lucky" to win the two games we lost, okay chief, I got you.

You don't think we earned those wins?

Um, no. There is absolutely no logical connection between what I said and you wrote here.

The Bengals beat us by shutting down our O, not by exposing our D. The Giants beat us by a combination of exposing our D and shutting down our O.

On offense we did. On D we did not.

Right, the turnovers forced in those games (including defensive TD's) had nothing to do with the Bills winning.

yeah. We were exposed in those games that the redskins used the blueprints from those games.


We were also lucky that we shut down the redskins pass rush last sunday

We were so lucky we got away 23-0 and nearly lost that one, right?

Well then one unit having earned it doesn't mean we got lucky. It means we earned it despite some poor play from the other unit. Would you call a lot of New England's wins lucky simply because they have a great offense that manages to outpace the opponents despite a bad defense?

Living off of big plays while giving up 30+ points and a ****load of yards is not a winning formula.

the Redskins are hapless, especially with all their injuries. Not a good way to make your point.

Didn't say it was. You stated the defense had nothing to do with wins in week 2 and 3. I'm saying the forced turnovers had a lot to do with the wins. Espeically against NE.
