Jets at Denver

I believe Tebow has serious flaws in the passing game but John Fox is an absolute genius for installing the zone-read and playing to his strengths. He knew the fans would riot if he didn't play the guy, so instead of putting him in to prove the point, he found a way to play off his strengths.

Jets coming off a late Sunday night loss, two days then traveled, they are at a big disadvantage. Plus their pass rush has not been getting it done.

This should be a lot of fun to watch and I wouldn't be surprised if Denver wins it. Any thoughts?

Jets are favored by 7. Not sure I see that half their offense is beat up and not only have the not had time to rest, have they even had time to practice?

I'm going with Denver 17 - 10

It will be a fun football game in any case. Nice to see something different in the NFL.

I heard them interview one of the Denver Olinemen on SiriusNFL and he said they LOVE this offense. As a lineman they get to plow into the guy in front of them, zone block, and do this play after play. He was almost giddy.

If Sanchez can make some plays, Jets still should win it, but boy the deck is stacked against them

The Jets need this victory, but it will not be easy. After losing on their home field, to the Patriots, they have to travel across country to Denver for a Thursday night game. They will be desperate. The question is whether or not that will propel them to victory.

If I was Rex I'd blitz him every play. If they let Denver offense get into a groove it'll be a long night.

Rex needs to came 8 in the box and stay discipline in their rushing lanes. Force Tebow to beat you with his arm not his legs.

I wonder how long that read offense would continue to succeed until defenses catch up. There's a reason why college offenses aren't used in the NFL.

I also think Denver has a better pass rush than the Jets

The best way to neutralize Revis is to never throw the ball.

This Broncos team is the strangest that I can remember.

Pat Kirwan just said they should take a page out of Michigan St's book and run blitz zone cover 2. Not sure they're wired for cover2 but it will be a fun one to watch

The Jets are going to murder them.

Broncs and 'Tebow Veer' remind me of the Dolphins' Wildcat in '08. it flummoxed the Patriots and got them a division title, but they crashed in the playoffs against the Ravens D, who suggested basic lane discipline (not sure of exact terminology but it means staying in your position instead of runnng around) was all they needed to stop it.
2008 Ravens D coached by Rex Ryan and featured Bart Scott and Jim Leonard. who will lead the Jets to victory tonight.
