FLORHAM PARK, N.J.- Brandon Marshall remembers the situation ever-so vividly.
There are probably many of us here in Western New York who will be silently pulling a bit for Ryan Fitzpatrick on Sunday, given the fact he gave us his all when he played for Buffalo and he has never made it to the playoffs despite an above average 11-year career. I think Bilal Powell has really stepped up for them. The Bills are 5-1 straight up and against the spread in their last six games against the Jets, and one has to think Rex Ryan would love to cost his former team a playoff spot.
The NFL wraps up the 2015 regular season with a variety of matchups featuring huge playoff implications.
Ryan knows his old team well, but that may not be as important on Sunday as his penchant for running undisciplined teams with little attention to detail.
Kick coverage specialist and reserve wide receiver Marcus Easley became the latest player placed on injured reserve. That’s also lots of patience and resilience. “I know we’re gonna have a lot of guys jacked”. “That’s just me, but sometimes I wish I just… because I think, when you see the impact it has…my heart was in the right place”.
Look for NY to clinch a playoff spot here.
Earlier in the season, Head Coach Rex Ryan and his boys in blue triumphed over NY in a very exciting game.
Rex Ryan now has a full offseason to develop the talent that he wants in his scheme and find the gaps so that he can get players that fit the defense. It’s not about the money. Two plays later, Fitzpatrick completed a pass to Marshall for 20 yards. “It’s tough to win in Buffalo, anyway, and it’s a division game in December”, Jets linebacker Demario Davis told the Guardian.
The Bills enter their season finale with only 20 sacks, one more than last-placed Atlanta in the NFL. “Myself and my teammates I’m pretty sure are just focusing on the game”. 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. He has a quarterback rating of 100-plus in four of his last five games. Not after some up-and-down performances.
At the same time, the person said veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams’ job is safe, so long as he recovers from a season-ending left knee injury he sustained in a 34-21 loss to Cincinnati on October 18. “Doesn’t mean I’m going to change who I am or how I go about my business, I can promise you that”.
After witnessing a ugly performance against the Ravens, no one can assume Pittsburgh will beat Cleveland, but let’s just say they do handle Cleveland.
“You say it weird”, a smiling Fitzpatrick said, pointing out that it’s more like “awnest”.
Stability has been in short supply in Buffalo during the playoff drought that began in 2000.
Fitzpatrick and the Jets have met every challenge recently. “I can kinda get into his head, and he can kinda get into mine”.

Ryan also said, “The part about making the boasts, whatever, as bad as I truly believe it, maybe I’ve learned that, eh, maybe it’s not the smartest thing to do”. “It makes us that much better”.
