The Bills continued their slide down the toilet with a beatdown at the hands of the Dolphins, while the Jets suffered a disheartening loss to the Broncos.
 
Buffalo faces the team that started their three-game slide. Counting their 27-11 loss to New York in Week 9, the Bills have been outscored, 106-26. Wow. The only player to perform on even a fairly consistent basis during the slide has been Fred Jackson and now he's out for the year. Jackson had good games against the Jets (82 yards rushing/38 yards receiving) and Cowboys (114 yards rushing), but was basically shut down by Miami (14 yards rushing/50 yards receiving) before breaking his leg. CJ Spiller will take over in the Bills backfield but will run behind a banged up O-Line.
The Jets have their own issues, of course, after looking inept offensively against Denver. Matt Sanchez could not manage a TD pass against a team that had surrendered 18 going into the game, and the running game was putrid, gaining only 83 yards on 28 carries. Huh?
 
You’ve got to think this is going to be a huge bounce-back game for New York, considering how injured Buffalo is and how pissed the Jets have to be after two straight stinkers against New England and the Broncos. Buffalo has allowed 250 YPG and 17 TDs passing and a 122 YPG and an astounding 12 TDs on the ground. If Shonn Greene, (who had to leave the Denver game early with a rib problem but is expected to play against Buffalo) doesn’t contribute in this one, that should be the beginning of the end of his time in New York.
 
GOOD STARTS: QB Mark Sanchez, WR Santonio Holmes, WR Plaxico Burress
 
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD STARTS: QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, RB CJ Spiller, RB Shonn Greene, TE Dustin Keller
 
BAD STARTS: WR Steve Johnson, who will likely be shadowed by Darrelle Revis all day.
