Jets Set To Crash And Burn?

The Jets-Bills matchup this Sunday ON PAPER looks like an easy win for Gang Green. Oh, wait...THAT's what we thought the last two weeks too,

At the moment, The Jets, Patriots and Dolphins are tied for first in the AFC East at 8-5. The Jets hold the tiebreaker as they are 3-1 within the division, the Fish and Pats are 3-2. Since the Jets and Miami play each other the fimal week of the season, they control their own destinies. They win out, they win the division. New England could win out but would need the Jets and Dolphins to each lose at least one of their last three since the Pats have the worst conference record of the three teams. Got that? They'll be a test on December 28th.

If there were ever two teams for the Jets to get well on, its the Bills at home this week and the Seahawks on the 21st. Both teams are toast defensively, and Buffalo hasn't scored an offensive touchdown the last two weeks while losing to fall to 6-7. The Seahawks are 2-11. Honestly, of the two upcoming games, the 'Hawks bothers me more. It'll be a matchup of the two worst pass defenses in the NFL. It will also be the final home game for outgoing Seattle coach Mike Holmgren. The Hawks have played hard despite injuries, and Holmgren has worked diligently to keep them motivated during a tough year.

Can't you just see it? The Jets and Dolphins meeting the last week of the season, EVERYTHING-division and playoff spot-on the line. Chad Pennington with a chance to stick it to Brett Favre and his old team. VERY intriguing indeed. It's looking more and more like the AFC East winner will be the only playoff representative. But first things first: Let's see if Gang Green can get well against a bad Bills team. If not, it will be a bumpy ride for the Jets and their fans if the team goes from 8-3 to out of the playoffs entirely.
