With the Dolphin topping the Pats, the division title is suddenly in play for the Jets. Of course, they have to take care of their own game today, but I have a feeling they will beat the Bills more easily than some are predicting today. Just a hunch.
The Jets have once again shuffled the deck of running backs. This week, though, Mangini also pulled a face card for the secondary.
Inactives include Kevan Barlow for the second straight week, along with B.J. Askew who I thought played pretty well against the Packers. S Eric Smith is benched in favor of Jamie Thompson, who was called up to the active roster on Saturday. The rest of the bystanders are Derrick Blaylock, Ryan Riddle, Na’Shan Goddard and Rashad Moore (who has struggled lately and has been nursing a hand injury). LB Matt Chatham will play.
For the Bills, Terrence McGee and Donte Whitner are inactive. That takes some pressure off the special teams play, but more importantly it should allow the Jets to pass the ball well. I think the Jets had a running game-plan in mind coming in, but after seeing those injuries to McGee and Whitner they might want to air things out a little more.

So much for hunches, huh Tom? GO BILLS!!!!
tom, nice prediction of the jets easily beating the bills today. totally awful performance by chad and the rest of the team.
Glad you posted an update on Doug Robins. I've known him quite a few years, as a coach of the Long Island Tigers and scout for the Mets, I had many oppurtunities to talk baseball with him. He is such a class act. Living in Vegas now we've lost touch. Please give him my best regards next time you speak to him.
