They had all pre-season to prepare against the Patriots and *still* choked it up in the end. This game will be a mauling. Even if the offense takes 3 full quarters to warm up, the D will take out all that pent up frustration of the past two weeks out on an incredibly weak Bills O-Line. AND, at home? It won't even be funny! Lets not give the Bills anything on this…they are abysmal. They had all pre-season to prepare against the Patriots and *still* choked it up in the end.

I am not down on the squad or panicking by any stretch, but i ABSOLUTELY think shotty is only outsmarting himself with all the stupid shifts and so many single back and no-back formations. i understand the purpose is to discover coverages and somehow create mismatches, but i haven't seen anything better with that approach then just lining up with a simple motion. unless there's something wrong with t-rich that i haven't seen, line up and blast, counter, dive. mix leon in at times, but TJ carries the load. I like every single thing i've seen from Shonn Greene except the fact that he seems to be made of glass. injured during camp, injured during scrimmages, injured after 3 carries in the reg season. let him sit and learn behind TJ and Leon like Leon sat and learned behind Curtis Martin. but hey, if Leon is consistently getting 5 ypc, every time, then give him the 20 carries, i'm fine with that too. but 2 backs combining for 26 carries and 100 yards isn't what we should be doing. shift the distribution and i think those same carries get us 150 plus 7's on the board. The offense is doing well, i think that minor tweak ramps it up more. NJet -

We battled the unbeaten Saints and would've won if not for 2 giveaway TD's via rookie QB mistakes. Then Miami our D fades in the 4th Quarter to allow 21 pts. I thought the team vets said earlier this year that it had learned from last years fade from 8-3 to missing the playoffs? Bottom line is we'd better finally start beating lesser teams like the Giants, Steelers, Pats and other perennial playoff teams do. On a non sequitur: Like the idea of Woodhead in the slot ala Welker. Let's try it vs the Bills.

I see your point... but we can't wait for TJ to get in his groove anymore... Im sorry... not when Leon gets 5 yards per carry.... EVERY TIIME... from start to finish. We need to possess the ball more, we need to control the game, we need to keep opposing offenses off the field to make our defense more effective. We cannot wait for TJ anymore... he is slowing the entire team down. Shonn Greene time if you ask me. PickSix…

Its like we forgot what we actually have (an over-performing rookie QB who had 16 starts in college and a rookie head coach that forgot to use his timeouts... oh well, get over it). The team is still getting used to playing with each other. We need to be good in 10 weeks, not the first 5. The fact that we showed incredible promise is something to be excited about. Im with Bent on this one... they better not start booing at the game... it would be a big mistake to give up because of one loss, AT Miami, ON Monday night, ON Hispanic Heratige night with all their owners there, When the Dolphins CLEARLY needed that win more than the Jets. We got outplayed once... lets wait till it happens again before we freak out. Im very concerned about the negativity.

I know it's tough to take the ball out of Leon's hands (I just picked up a Washington jersey), but we need to feed TJ and then enjoy the long runs for Leon that will open up. in my opinion. regarding our running game: i see why it was tough to get leon 10+ touches… splitting carries with thomas is good and all, because i’m with the rest of the planet in believing leon is the most explosive threat we’ve got, but TJ is a 20+ carry back.
