Needless to say, they’re all pretty accurate on what it truly comes down to in the Jets vs Bills game. 500 if they can beat the New York Jets this weekend.

By the time he joined the Rams 10 years ago, St. Louis was in transition from being the “greatest show on turf” to missing the playoffs for 10 straight seasons-and counting. Who knows? It’s a mystery. On Wednesday, Ryan said his heart was in the right place when he made his prediction, but as for his mouth…
This isn’t a huge surprise, as Rex has only been in Buffalo for one year.
So, after spending six years doing everything he could to get the Jets into the postseason, Ryan will be out to keep them from getting in. Manning had 139, Fitz has 104. Sloppy football and Ryan’s big yapper have been the constant in Buffalo.
The Jets are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games against the Bills. He’s found his comfort zone with receivers Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker during that streak. On the other hand, the Bills are 7-8 and would love nothing more than destroy the playoff hopes of the Jets as they head into the off-season. I’d imagine that there’s going to be information regarding the game, but that information has no bearing on how, or what it is, that we need to do in terms of our play.
The Buffalo Bills took it upon themselves to hire Rex Ryan after the end of last season.
Since that moment, Marshall and Fitzpatrick’s relationship has blossomed into one that is becoming, believe it or not, one of the more deadly combinations in the entire NFL.
Taylor needs an efficient passing day as well, if he wants to finish the year with a quarterback rating of 100-or better. A deep sideline pass for an open Kenbrell Thompkins could have been the play the Jets needed, but before Thompkins could secure the pass, Mario Butler came across and hit him, knocking the ball out. “This team has fought, and they’ve played extremely hard”. With Buffalo up by five, and 2:47 left to play, the Bills were looking at 3-and-2 from their own 15. “They’re not really playing for a playoff spot, but I know Rex is going to have those guys ready to go and fired up”. Jackson, released by Buffalo in training camp, clinched his first career playoff berth after signing with Seattle.
If Ronald Darby can’t play, and that seems likely, the Bills are without their top two corners (Stephon Gilmore is on Injured Reserve). Expect more of the same this Sunday.
Williams has become expendable because his contract is deemed to be too expensive, and also because he has struggled to make the transition to the defensive system introduced this year by Ryan. “The part about making the boasts and all that”, a reflective Ryan said Wednesday, “… maybe I’ve learned that maybe it’s not the smartest thing”. “So, I think the belief’s always been there just because we see the way that everybody works week in and week out and we see the talent level on this team. I just try to return that by playing well”.

The Jets (10-6) were then knocked out of playoff contention when the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6) beat Cleveland 28-12 shortly after the final whistle sounded in Buffalo. Fitzpatrick has seven touchdown passes in his last three games. They’ve had a winning record in Ralph Wilson Stadium for the last four years.
