I know they beat Denver but . . . .

Denver outgained them 532-275, Denver averaged 6.7 YPC on the ground. Not sure exactly how they managed to lose that. I know yards don't win games but there comes a time . . .

Also, somehow KC outgained Miami 492-403. Again, yards don't win games but . . .

buffalo is a different team with a healthy trent edwards. They are still playing hard even after the debacle in the meadowlands.
We have to contain lynch and jackson. Last time the pats played they didnt have josh reed either. Should be another of those grind it out division games.

Denver choked big time. Cutler got worse as the game went on too.

I think they also gave the Bills great field position almost the whole game.

Pats should not have too many issues, Bills got their win to end the year.

KC outplayed Miami but Thigpen threw 2 huge picks and they fumbled a kickoff in their own territory. 3 very costly turnovers while Miami only had 1 turnover which was at the very end of the first half and they probably weren't going to score anyways. More reason to believe that if the Jets actually play to win, they COULD beat the Fins.

Only.... we have to pray Favre doesn't throw picks....

and he has 1TD and 6 INT in his last four games (Well, that was the stat they showed in the middle of the game, I think he has more INTs and no more TDs since that time)
