Whew! We’re 2-1 after a agita filled 31-23 victory against the Miami Dolphins. A thoroughly offensive performance with both teams putting up 400 yards it left us asking where was the defense?
I saw some run defense but our secondary desperately needs a healthy Revis and for Kyle Wilson to get in the game. It was great to see Jason Taylor get a sack against his former team. I am sure Bill Parcells felt that in the booth.
Thankfully, Sanchez, Keller, Edwards and Tomlinson provided enough firepower to outlast the Dolphins and we are fueling up for Buffalo. The Jets are roaring into a city near you and we’re calling you out!
It was refreshing to see the Jets take an opening drive down the field for a touchdown and when we went up 14-0, I felt a sense of calm for about a minute then a wave of uneasiness forced me to watch the game from bed as the Dolphins stormed back scoring 17 unanswered points.
While I was watching the game a stat of all the greatest Jets v. Dolphins came across the screen and sure enough another shootout was in progress and you can’t turn off a Jets v. Dolphins game.
Special Teams played a huge factor in this game with a blocked punt and some great returns from Brad Smith that pushed the game in the Jets favor.
If you watched “Hard Knocks”, Rex Ryan predicted games like this one and to see his vision play through to a hard fought victory was inspiring. The Jets are real. Enjoy the flight!!
