Good win for the Jets

I think this team has tremendous capability on defense. Antonio Allen stepped up today and made a big difference. Safety was a big ? going into this season and Allen's play has solidified that position. They could still use a pass rush specialist. Despite the great defensive effort, Brady had a lot of time to throw. On offense, it's all about Smith. He's a playmaker, but he's also a rookie and mistakes are going to be a part of him for while. Nevertheless, because he is a rookie, his mistakes are magnified. Brady threw a pick six today and so did Tannehill for Miami. So it will happen to the best of QB's too. Cumberland made some nice catches, but he also dropped two catchable balls that hurt the Jets reminding us of why he was an undrafted free agent. It's all about mistakes. If they can cut down on penalties and turnovers they can play with anyone.

I agree with your assessment, pretty much all around. Smith has a real upside as a Jets QB. He can throw the deep ball with some accuracy, and he can be a threat to run, something different from the stationary QB's we've pretty much always had. I didn't like Mornhinweg as the Lion's head coach. He was rather inflexible with his system. He didn't have the personnel. I like him as our OC though, at least so far. He's running the ball, but he still takes shots down the field.

Penalties have hurt us, and we have to do better. Cut down on them, keep Smith comfortable, and play the really good D we've been playing, and yes, we can play with anyone.

Now, can we play with anyone again next week? A fair question, but I am ever the optimist.
