TONIGHT'S UNWATCHABLE GAME AND OTHER THINGS NFL

New York Jets 17 @ BUFFALO 20 (Rex will start hating offense just like Buddy)
A friend asked why I haven't said anything about the Saints. Nothing remarkable has happened with them. I thought they would be good.
Beating the Patriots, a shell of the former team? They got no D. Will do good to win 11. Many teams can beat the Patriots.
Would New Orleans beat Minnesota? DUH! Check out my recent Vikings rant. The Saints are not afraid to fall behind. They have a defense that can give up points without giving up. They play quick and a good offense that plays quick takes pressure off the defense because it gives the offense extra possessions. This won't matter because I think Minnesota loses it's first playoff game anyway.
The Saints have to worry about teams with steady defenses that don't have to gamble but can. This team also has to have a balanced offense that can hit the big play and control the ball as well. Teams that also aren't afraid to fall behind early.
