Well, isn’t it a chicken or egg argument about Brady? Maybe he didn’t play well because the Jets D was really that good? Also, Schaub threw 7 TDs against the Jags and Titans, but was dominated by the Jets D. And, while I get your point about this year, which is only 3 games old, the combined record of the Pats, Titans and Texans last year was 32-16. I think Jeff Fisher and Belichick are good coaches, but they could not muster a game plan to defeat the Jets. My point is whatever you can say about the offense, the Jets D and special teams are good enough to win most NFL games. So, I don’t think the Jets haven’t been tested, I think the Jets are good..how good will be partially answered this weekend.

I suppose that to be fair they did look good at the end of the game, though it’s also fair to recall that the Titans receivers dropped a number of passes as well. My main issue is how unnerving it was to watch the Titans march up and down the field during th middle of the game.

This Titans team was excellent last year, no doubt, but so far this year they have not shown anything. Heck, I didn’t even think the Titans offense was great last year, though I’ve always had respect for Collins and Fisher.

Also, SackDance, that is a perfectly fair point, I was in North Carolina when the Jets beat both the Texans and the Patriots so I can’t really offer an opinion on either of those contests. However, the Texans and the Titans have not faired to well against theire other opponents thus far this season yet either, have they? Perhaps they’ve been better offensively, but they’re a combined 1-5 at this point, so I think it’s equally fair to point that out. Additionally, I will be a lot more impressed to see the Jets beat a Patriots team that is completely health/with Brady playing at his best.

A 3-4 standard set is rushing three D linemen and a fourth player, sending a corner instead of a linebacker is not a blitz.

You also missed the Jets destroy the Houston Texans’ offense, on the road, in a dome. A team that boasts one of the NFL’s elite WRs, Andre Johnson, saw him completely shut down and Schaub looked like a rookie. Plus, the Jets were missing Ellis, who has been terrific so far this season, and are still missing Pace.

Then, you missed the Pats take a lead on the Jets, only to see our rookie QB come out at halftime and shred the Pats D. You missed Belichick have Tom Brady play the whole game in a hurry up offense to defeat the blitz, but not score an offensive TD. You missed Randy Moss completely shut down. So, if you missed the first 2 games, you’ve missed quite a lot.

I think Brees has a skill set to defeat the blitz, but you can’t tell me that his weapons were much better than Schaub’s or Brady’s. And, the Jets beat Brady, who had won his last 20 regular season games in a row and had never lost at the Meadowlands, and Schaub, who had never lost in Houston, including wins over the Dolphins, Titans and Bears last year. In short, the Jets D has been pretty darn good and, for another fun fact, Schaub’s 55.9 QBR is the highest the Jets have allowed an opposing QB, yet. Just remember that Sunday is a test for Brees and the Saints, too.

LOL, the game is still geared to letting a QB stand back there for 3-4 seconds and throw deep downfield as the pocket begins to collapse. Taller QBs are just better as straight, drop back QBs. NFL coaches are a conservative bunch and the potential for the big play because of the blitz will prevent most teams from even attempting to blitz over 30% of the time. So, I don’t think you’ll see the NFL turn away from the tall, power-armed QBs to the smaller, more mobile QBs just yet.

It doesn’t impress you that a desperate and talented Tennessee team that was 13-3 last year scored once in eight second half possessions? Kerry Collins, who was pin-point accurate in the first half, throwing 13 straight incompletions in the last twenty minutes didn’t strike you as a small change for the Jets? Who’s your source of comparsion, the ’85 Bears?
