Would you feel better? Broncos and Jets

IDC about the point spreads...not one bit. We're 7-5, with control of making the playoffs w/o needing help. That's as good as can be expected at this point.

Being in a position to make the playoffs with no help from anyone is a great feeling. However, we have to win out to keep that in our own control. Stressful times are upon us fans, once again. We must win out! GO PHINS! It's doable. I do like that we were able to compete to the end with two of the leagues elite offenses though.

Two of them (GB, Denver) and beat another (NE).

I'm with ya!

Focus on this, We are playing meaningful football games in December.

You caught me before my edit. hahaha :cry:

Honestly..

Look how the team responded to winning last night's game.

It was like just getting that win.. At the end in a close game.. It was like they got over some hump.

The Jets games will always have to be viewed as though they are two even teams regardless of record. We hadn't won a prime time game in New York in years.. Five I think. I think our team got alot more confidence in that win.

At this point in the season.. How you win games becomes much less important. You just need to win.

Every game is a different beast. I'm proud of yesterday's win. If anything this win feels more earned than the 37-0 win against SD.

Parody runs rampant in the NFL. Any given Sunday, just take the win and be happy........for now. Next week is going to be very tough. Getting pressure and, especially, stopping Forsett will be a big challenge. Also, at this point, it becomes about attrition. We have some OL issues, but this team does not seem to fold like in the past. They've made some great adjustments and pulled through. Just have to hope.

A lot of people forget what the SB was like between the Seahawks and Broncos this past Jan... 43-8. Want to talk about a bad game? lol...

I'll take an ugly win every time.

Certainly not. I feel it's important to play competitive football consistently, especially against top teams, and we did that against the Broncos, as well as last night. The worst thing this year were week 2 and week 3 games, we were not competitive at Bills and v Chiefs. Games like that do not help build consistency, the way we played then is the way losers play.

you spend to much time on this, i don´t give a dame how we win our games at all

How many games, divisions, conferences, and rings have the dynasty Patriots won off ugly games decided by a field goal? How many times is anyone brining those up when they discuss the Patriots decade of success?

I'll take a W anyway it comes.

Its not like denver pummeled the jets earlier this year either. Cinci was ugly vs Tampa Bay. I said earlier this season after seeing us dominate the chargers.....we just need wins. 6-3 or 49-0. They are all worth one hard earned W.

Definitely more satisfied the way the team actually did it. Had it been the other way it could easily be chalked up to "Well this team can beat the worst teams comfortably, but cant hang with the elite playoff teams" which I think has proven to not be the case.

The win yesterday was a hard fought win, in primetime, against a hated rival that was playing in their defacto Super Bowl at home with absolutely nothing to lose. Ill take it.

Whats really nice about this win, is we finally beat the Jets, in New York, on Monday Night Football.

In one year...

nobody will care.

An ugly win is better then a pretty lose...

I will, but I guess I'm in the minority. I cherish the big wins forever. I had memories of opening week 1995's 52-14 win running through my head all week leading up to this week's game. Blowout wins just make me feel better about life. I want more of them.

Can't argue with that. They do have that effect!

Parody...is the rash of this simply a result of spell correct on phones? I'm sorry to point it out, but I'm a spelling guy. LOL

I would feel better if teams weren't running for over 200 yards in the last two games and the front seven was looking like the strength of the team.

Sure the pats said the same thing when we unleashed the Wildcat on them.

The defensive performance should not be taken lightly against the jets in that first half. 200+ yards is way too much. However, the jets threw just about everything they could throw at us in that first half. 7 rushers, every running formation in Football. How do you prepare for that?

Against the broncos, well it would appear CJ Anderson has flipped the switch and is becoming an outstanding rusher. Back to back 160yd+ games. Also running was not in the game plan because of Peyton Manning. Guaranteed that rush defense will be the focus this week in practice.

200+ yards in the first half is historically bad.

Also, Patriots missed the playoffs that year and Wildcat was very overrated by the fans. Miami was clearly beating the Patriots before they ran their first wildcat play and Pennington was passing all over them.
