Hoge has switched to the ole "they haven't played anybody" argument now. - Jim Nov 28, 06:54 13
- well in truth, he has played a perennial elite defense yet? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 28, 06:56 12
  - the Jets D seems to only be non-elite when Tebow is involved in the conversation... -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 06:58 9
    - If you look at the Jets D this year, you could easily make the case they are not elite. 19th in Pts Allowed. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:01 2
      - Will the Jets even make the playoffs? Most likely they won't. Unless they run 5 wins in a row -- nm - Bacon Nov 28, 07:02 1
        
        Or, you could check them out and realize they're 8th in the conference....1 game behind Cincy and tied (losing the tiebreak) with Denver. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:06
    - i guess i was thinking of those teams who always seem to rank in the top 10 (not just recently) - tRuMaN Nov 28, 07:00
    - and the Steelers only put up 13 against KC last night -- nm - Beaker Nov 28, 06:59 4
      - 24th in points allowed. - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:12 3
        
        exactly, that defense seems to be keeping the games close, not tebow -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 28, 07:24
        
        I think this is key. Teams should be concentrating more on figuring out Denver's defense moreso than stopping Tebow completely. -- nm - Inigo Nov 28, 07:20 1
        
        yeah, they're playing big-time right now...between Von & Elvis, it's a strong pressure defense. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 07:28
  - I guess the question is...does it matter? He's now swept the division IN THEIR HOUSE...that's not easy to do, even in the AFC West. - Jim Nov 28, 06:58 1
    - The Raiders did it last year, and didn't make the playoffs. The swept all games home and away -- nm - Bacon Nov 28, 06:58
