That’s all this game will come down to, period.
As a die hard Jets fan myself, I must say the next few weeks will be quite bumpy. AFTER the Bears tonight, we have the Lions, Chargers, Broncos, and Patriots consecutively. All these teams have a solid passing game led by top quarterbacks, which will easily pick apart our semi-pro secondary.
Exhibit A: We have a 21-3 lead in the 2Q of the Packers game, and voila, it vanishes, mainly due to quick pitch and catch between Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson (9 Rec, 200+ yards 1 TD).
All teams need to do against the Jets is a three step drop and quick release, or work out of the Shotgun and pick apart our secondary with quick passes. Teams know this, and the Bears are equipped to do this. If you think a combination of Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall won’t do similar damage to the Jets, you are sorely mistaken. Tonight, we play without our best corner in Dee Milliner as well.
Our D-line is one of the best with both pass rushing and run stopping, but the pass-rush is rendered useless when quick passes are thrown. God forbid the pass rush doesn’t get there on a longer-developing play, and the secondary will let up huge chunks. Rex will try all season to cloak the play of the secondary via exotic blitzes and let the pass rushers work up front alone with more coverage in the back-end. So far, it hasn’t worked out that great, and I don’t foresee much success in the aggregate.
Our only shot is to control T.O.P through our stout run game, which I have confidence we can do. Regardless, we could be up 28-0, and I still wouldn’t consider that a safe lead due to how quickly we can be scored on through the passing game, which the Bears have proven they can do. (Exhibit B, Bears storm back 21 unanswered points against SAN FRAN last week for the W). The Jets are not equipped for a full blown shoot-out, but they can put up points this year. Should be interesting to watch how this game unravels.
There is no other play than the Bears +3 tonight. (I know the line dropped but I was able to snag it at +3, hate betting against my Jets, but it was a smaller than usual play anyways). Let the hate come my way, but Best of Luck whatever you play, I can only HOPE for a Jets W, as I’ll glady lose money if my Jets prove me wrong.
