You Gotta Pay Your BILLS!

That's three straight AFC East Division wins for the New York Jets. And at least 2 out of the 3 games were significant victories. Beating the Bills in Buffalo is a tough road game, but in reality it is the Bills and their level of competition falls under that of the Canadian Football League (coincidentally, the Bills might move to Toronto). A lot of very good things are happening for the Jets right now.

Through the first four games, Mark Sanchez and the offense have had no turnovers, none. Sanchez threw 20 picks last year and coming into this year, there had to be an important step forward for him in his growth process to keep his turnovers down. He has not only done that so far, but he has been hitting his targets for 8 scores already in four games.

The defense has suffered some serious blows through injuries, losing NT Kris Jenkins for the entire season (again) and Ropati Pitoitua as well, DE Calvin Pace has been out since the pre-season, all pro holdout, Darelle Revis has only played in one game so far and yesterday against the Bills, DE Shaun Ellis sprained his left knee and is day-to-day. Yet, the Jets defense is getting it done, playing hard nose football and doing it the Rex Ryan way.

Another aspect of the Rex Ryan way of football, is the pound it out, ground game. Prior to this season, skeptics were all saying that LaDainian Tomlinson is washed up and that relying on second year RB, Shonne Greene, was going to be a gamble. As of yesterday, LT is averaging 6.1 yards per carry and complementing him is Greene, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. They have combined for just under 600 yards rushing and LT has 3 TD's. Opposing teams have to respect the Jets running game, which in turn, has given way to the play action for Sanchez and the "Seminole" formation, featuring the most versatile player in the NFL, Brad Smith.

One other thing that the Jets should be proud of, is the discipline that they showed on the field, limiting the amount of penalties they had. Against the Dolphins last week, the Jets played sloppy football, keeping Miami close with their 9 penalties. Yesterday however, the Jets reversed that trend and were efficient, smart and only penalized 4 times.

It then begs the question, how good can the Jets be?? Next week, the Jets are playing in their 3rd Nationally televised game, once again on MNF at the New Meadowlands against one time Jet, Brett Favre and the Vikings. The Jets are about to get stronger as a team, with Super Bowl MVP wide out, Santonio Holmes set to return from his 4 game suspension and Calvin Pace and Darrelle Revis also expected to be back from injuries. Adding those three players to the team at this point in the season, should only spell more success for the Jets.
