Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 570101">I'm aware of the stats.  For instance, a less than impressive 5-12 on third down and losing the turnover battle 0-2 kept the game close.  The Jets had a 6 point lead at the end of the third quarter against a largely inept offense with a QB taking his first NFL snaps.  That's squeeky.  It took a 71 yard run, which is a fluke event by any player against any team, to provide the cushion.  It does say they've yet to prove they're more than an 8-8ish team...like the 8-8 team of last season that beat NE and NO at home.As far as having team strengths at D-Line and RB one needs look no further than the Bills of recent years to see that's clearly not sufficient.This is not to say the Jets are a bad team or that they cannot win this game.  It is saying this is the kind of team the Packers should beat at home to maintain contender status.I'll be interested to see how Smith handles the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink looks he's likely to get and what I would expect to be a variety of blitzes.  This is the late game in the Buffalo market, so I'll get to see the game live.</blockquote>
