I don't think we will run away with this game, but, I do anticipate a win. My stomach flutters when I think about how poorly we do on National TV though! But, I have a feeling Jets fans might boo their own team more than they will the Texans. Esp if/when Sanchez starts screwing up!

I think the Texans whip Sanchez so bad they have no choice but to start Tebow for 2nd half just to keep the fans from going nuts. I want to hear coach Footfan pleading for his job after the game. I say 44 to 0 with less than 100 yards total offense should do it :-)

I agree with those saying this will be a war.
National primetime game, on their turf, reeling from an embarrassing loss with a chance to prove themselves by defeating the undefeated Texans? I have confidence in our guys, but we'll have to fight and earn this one. |

Me too. My first one was the Ryan Fitzpatrick game vs the Rams... What a kick in the stomach that one was...

Along the same lines, reading the Jet's board. I haven't felt that level of despair since Capers was here.

I will wait until Em Diggy's analysis on each team's player skill sets before I go off predicting a W here. Won't know until he tells me which team's RB's have the best skills.

Our D will get to Sanchez. He's fumbled once in each of the last 2 games and has been sacked 6 times, 3 in the last game. He's not exactly a tricky runner with 1 run for 4 yds. In fact, besides being a statue, he's got a terrible pocket presence. Let me clarify that........no pocket presence. He's had 5 TDs with 4 INTs, with 3 INTs coming in the last 2 games. He's only completed~40% of all of his passes.
And if Tebow comes in, let him do his typical lock in on one pass route while doing his best imitation of someone having any ability to read a defense. If he fails to find anyone to throw to within 20 yds of where he thinks they should have read his mind and been, his passes will be met by an unfamiliar set of faces. Finally, let's just say that Tebow will show us that he can indeed hit the broad side of the barn, where is he going to find one of those at MetLife Stadium? ![]() ![]()

Being upset about something doesn't make you good if you don't have the ability. This isn't the patriots or ravens coming off of an embarrassing loss...it's the jets. The jets are like a pissed off 5 year old...yeah they could nut shot you and put you down for a second, but it's a whole lot more likely that you'll just pick them up and throw them somewhere. Being mad doesn't give you ability or talent. If every bad team that got mad and decided to play hard the following week we wouldnt have the 0-16 lions or 2-14 texans or the whole host if other bad teams. It's just as likely that the pissed of jets keep losing and end up one of the worse teams in the league this year as it is that they have a come to Tebow moment and find their inner tiger. |

I usually don't put too much stock in what the talking heads say, but that gave me the chills.

still work to do. last 8 games schaub has won..
titans, browns, jags, bucs, dolphins, jags, broncos, titans.. a schaub led team needs to go out and beat the ravens and packers then go on the road and beat the bears.... i believe he can, im just not ready to believe this "no one beats them" talk...

However, I'll say this. Last time we played the NFC East..... I think it was 2010, Dallas & the Giants came to Houston about ready to throw in the towel. They left looking like the best team in the league. I've finally come to grips that our division sucks, so I don't think there is any such thing as a "must win" or anything like it coming up. But the next game against the Jets is going to tell us a lot. They're on the road, so it's not like they'll have to win it for the fans. The divisions almost wrapped up, so they don't need to win for any kind of lead. They'll be on Monday night, so all they've really got to play for is their own pride. Same 'ol Texans?? We'll see.

I found myself complaining a lot about respect/coverage; but I've since discovered that winning is satisfying enough, and that I'm done giving a rat's ass about fishing for praise in the media. |
