We have the Buffalo Bills for the second time in three weeks this Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Like Usual I will be in attendance. The Bills are looking like they're having their annual collapse right about this time. It's the same thing every year with these Bills. People get excited about the Bills early, then the epic collapse. They just got beat up by the Dolphins. I wouldn't be surprised if they finish out the season last in the AFC East, especially now that Miami is starting to come around.
However, the Jets may be collapsing as well. The three game losing streak early, followed by a two game losing streak that we're riding now, if we lose this one we might as well Just End The Season.
What if the Bills aren't in a state of total implosion, what if this is just a rough patch? It worries me slightly, but I'm confident this week. Just for this week. However, I was confident against the Broncos and look what happened.
The Jets are a good team, they're just not playing together, they're not motivated, SOMETHING IS OFF!
We can maybe afford to lose one game the rest of the year. Don't lose it to the Bills, we might need it against a better team.
I'll be bringing my tape recorder with me to the stadium on Sunday with a couple things in mind. I'm going to interview a couple of long time Jets fans. Season ticket holders that remember the days of the Polo Grounds and the Titans of New York. Finally a perspective of someone who has suffered longer than my brief 23 years on this planet.
But I also want to settle a long time dispute. Which fans are more hardcore, Jets or Giants fans? What a relief it is to play in a stadium not call Giants Stadium. Now that each team has an equal share in the building, I want to know who has the more passionate fans. And I will obtain this answer from the most objective people at MetLife Stadium on Sundays, da da da The Event Staff. These brave people deal with drunk idiots from both side on a weekly basis. Surely they are the only qualified to settle this dispute.

New York Jets Riding a 2 Game Win Streak
We beat up on the Dolphins, but that was expected. Who can't beat up on the Dolphins? No one as of right now. If I were in charge of the Dolphins, I would just give up the season and put all of my faith in Luck. Andrew Luck from Stanford as the second coming of Dan Marino.
The Jets were able to beat the Chargers at home. And go figure, the Jets, a traditionally good road team, are undefeated at home and haven't won on the road. This is a quarterback/coach tandem that has more road playoff wins than any other in the history of the NFL.
The win against the Chargers was reminiscent of Jets wins in the last two season. Trailing going into the half, coming out with halftime adjustments and dominating the rest of the game. We're finally starting to see the defense coming around. Making plays when you have to is essential. That's what the Jets are starting to do. And finally we're seeing the potential of ex-con Plaxico Burress. Three touchdown catches, all of them in the red zone. A place where the Jets have always struggled, perhaps no more now that Sanchez and Plax are starting to click.

Looking at the highlights, you'll see class Jets Football. When there's that sense of urgency the Jets Defense steps up. The Revis interception, the Wilson pick to seal it and the stopping any chance of a Phillip Rivers' led Charger comeback.
Next up are the Buffalo Bills, who if the season ended today would win the AFC East. This is a team that has been so bad over the last couple of years I haven't been cheering against them like a do for the Patriots and Dolphins. I have to start changing my practices. This will be a tough match on the road. Buffalo is a tough place to play whether the Bills are good or bad. This year the Bills are much improved and should prove to be a real challenge on Sunday.
