Gameday Recap: Bills 41, Jets 20
Shady, Bills run Jets out of Western New York, Primetime stage
When LeSean McCoy broke off this 82 yard TD at the very end of the first, you know the Jets were doomed. Nobody on the Jets defense could make a tackle all day, resulting in dozens of explosives plays.
Look, I don't want to talk much about this game. The first half wasn't too bad. The offense was working well, if it weren't for a couple of poor play calls on 3rd down that led to punts. The Jets had a 7-3 lead at one point, after they countered with a touchdown after making a goal line stand and holding the Bills to a field goal on their opening drive. But then McCoy broke off that run on the first play from scrimmage after the Jets took the lead, an it went all downhill from there. The Jets stayed in the game until halftime. Calvin Pryor III picked off EJ Manuel in the end zone, for the Jets' first interception of the season, but they couldn't stop the running game and LeSean McCoy, so eventually, the Bills found their way to the end zone. And when they did, the Jets offense began to press, and turn the ball over. After only being down 20-13 at the half, the Jets found themselves down 41-13 at the end of the third. So at that point, the only thing the Jets were worrying about was getting Matt Forte into the end zone. For the second straight week, he couldn't do much running the ball, but to be fair, both of those game have been against strong run defenses. Anyway, he did finally find paydirt early in the 4th, even though it didn't mean anything. The Bills literally ran the clock out, because they totaled over 300 rushing yards, while the Jets pressed and pressed, and ended up with 3 interceptions from Ryan Fitzpatrick. There's 10 days to lick wounds and prepare for KC. The meat of the schedule begins now. 4 weeks against playoff teams, 3 on the road. Brutal.
Robert Woods doesn't really elude Buster Skrine. Skrine just attempted the most pathetic tackle ever, and then RoWo took it to the house.
Forte was elated when he finally got a rushing touchdown, but it didn't mean anything. We were in garbage time.
