Ahhhh, it's nice to be in first place. We are technically tied with the Patriots and Bills but the tie breaker for 3 teams is divisional record and we have a better one!
Yesterday was a bit interesting.
We basically swapped touchdowns on interception returns but Favre's really hurt us as his was late in the game and made it into a nail biter.
But, I loved how he responded. He orchestrated a 14 play, near 9 minute drive for a field goal to solidify the victory.
There was one stretch of the game where the Bills had the ball for 24 straight plays and got basically nothing out of it. My fear was that the defense was going to get tired but they played a solid game. Jenkins had his best day as a Jet with two sacks and a few other pressures. Revis had a great day as well with two interceptions with one going for 92 yards for the score.
But, the play of the game had to be Leon Washington what he did on a kickoff return after the Bills scored to make it close again. A ball gets kicked deep near the sideline but was not going out of bounds. Leon takes on foot and make sure it is out of bounds. While keeping his foot out of bounds, he fields the ball which was still in play. Huh? It turns out that doing this is the same as kicking the ball out of bounds. Who the hell knows this rule? Who has the brains on the field to even think about this? Hats off to Westoff for coaching this little known rule into his players heads. Instead of starting deep in our end, we now were starting on the 40 yard line. What a great play. He should have gotten the game ball just for this play alone.
The offense mixed it up a bit better not just throwing the ball and had a more balanced attack. They got some big key runs out of Jones and Washington when they needed it and Coles and Cotchery had solid games.
Hey, we went into Buffalo where we NEVER play well and won a divisional game. I'm not gonna get too nit picky on this one.
Can you say 5-3 and those First Place Jets ! Woooooooooooooo Yeah !
