The overall numbers are familiar to most of us.  Number 7 in passing yards per game.  Number 6 in rushing yards per game.  Number 3 in total yards per game.  That all sounds really good, right?  Better than most of us expected, albeit with only a small 3 game sample size.  But wait, there's more.  Hidden in the numbers are some very interesting details suggesting a much greater level of dominance.

If I asked you which NFL defense leads the league in rushing first downs allowed, who would you guess?  I'd probably guess Denver, given that they lead the league in rushing defense by a wide margin.  And you know what?   I'd be wrong.   The NFL defense leading the league in rushing first downs allowed is the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets.  The Jets have allowed the miniscule total of 7 rushing first downs in 3 games.

If I asked you which NFL defense leads the league in passing first downs allowed, who would you guess?  I'd probably guess Seattle, given their ferocious secondary and their league leading pass defense.  And you know what?   I'd be wrong.   The NFL defense leading the league in passing first downs allowed is the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets.  The Jets have allowed only 23 passing first downs in 3 games.

You read that right.  The Jets lead the NFL in rushing first downs allowed AND in passing first downs allowed!  This is a picture of utter dominance.

LOL TOILOLO IS THE SLOWEST TIGHT END IVE SEEN

GONZO IS A BEAST

NY Jets  17,  Tony Gonzalez  14.

Bet it's noisy in that dome now

ATL FREE MANGO??

-----------------------
Wouldn't think so.......easier ways to make money.

They are a bit short at 1.67.   More like 1.85-1.9 in my opinion

JOHN GRUDEN IS A LEGEND

ATL NEED SOMETHING FROM THIS DRIVE OTHERWISE WILL BE NERVOUS FINISH

Beat me to it......was about to say......turnover looming

Meaning the Jets defense beat me to it

Market is just not having the Jets at all

JETS WIN

Market is just not having the Jets at all

They are now - but gone over the top at 1.36.......little bit of panic in places maybe.

Strange that the Jets didn't go for 2 there.  What are the chances of 12 or 13 pts making any difference?

Agree KR.....nothing to lose, only a gain to get to 14

JETs at 1.5 seems decent here, all they need is 3 points and its pretty much game over

I'm out of this.....happy enough....may lay at 1.05/6 maybe

FALCONS GONNA SWOOP

SWOOP SWOOOOOOOOP

Some of these pass interference calls are ridiculous.....both on defense and offense

even if falcons gert the touchdown here still plenty of time for the jets

swoopy swoop

Jets could turn this over again

Jets were super low there again, until the call was made

horror call

yeah, that call has given them gsm hasn't it?

if the call was the other way, it was GSM to the Jets..

JETS BACKERS SEETHING WITH THAT CALL

but if you were on the jets, they traded 1.2/1.3 before the call was made, so you would have been greened

i only tuned into this match in the 4th, and i got the SWOOP SWOOP FALCONS feeling straight away

Great trading match

TDDDDDDD

SWOOP SWOOP

im on atalanta but still worried

GREEN OUT

wish I could mate

there's too much time left. Jets can get a kick

lumped on before kick off

like thingys did yesterday

to get 51-48

im 550 red new York

115 green Atlanta

I could red out for around 100 loss

Taking a little of green onto NY Jets for the entertainment value

why are all american sports decided by the ref? this reminds me of NBA..

it;s like they purposely make it more close for TV entertainment purposes

i'm +22.94 on both

wish I was

it's going to be that victory formation thing

I'M SURPRISED U TENNIS BOYS ARE UP SHOULDNT U BE CATCHING SOME ZZZZ FOR THE ASIAN TENNIS

who was it that did it yesterday?

one dodgy pi call away often

i'm a soccerball mug BEAN.

i'm a tennis mug

looks like they gonna get it

mug victory formation gonna happen in a sec

who won 51-48 the other day? it's annoying me

denver

Denver

50%

?

atlanta gonna blitz them now though, to make it hard for them

WHY WHAT DID I BACK ??

5 games gone

Saints lead their division by 4 games

DUNNO WHAT YOU BACKED BUT YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED IT IF FALCONS WON COS YOU WANTED THE SO CALLED SEETHERS TO LOSE

GO TO SLEEP TSANGO

what price falcons when 1pt in front final 2 mins ?

they gifted Jets the game. Rookie QB with confidence issues following last week and they drop into that silly zone defence and let him make easy 10yd throws (which we could make) to get 3 easy first downs and easily into field goal range.

Go Jets

I think after Atlanta went 1pt ahead they came in to about 1.25 then the market adjusted and was almost 1.4 by the time they kicked off.

Not sure they ever established what happened on that final pass interference play?  The number called by the ref was the guy marking Rodgers but he didn't appear to do anything.  The two guys on Gonzalez were simply blocking and didn't appear to do anything wrong either.  Does anyone know what the foul was for?  Calls like that are incredibly suspicious in my opinion, essentially the whole game was on the line there as it's either Jets ball or 1st & Goal Falcons.  Hopefully the NFL has an investigation behind the scenes, but publicly it will be swept under the carpet of course.

I thought at first it was good defensive play by the jets,they were doubling him up all night,worked fairly well as cromartie is good enough to keep jones quiet...It looked as if they were just blocking but on 2nd glance they were wrestling tony G,just my opinion.  But in general the calls against defensive players is becoming a joke,desperate teams just bomb it long looking for flags

Cromartie got away with some dark arts on the attempted TD bomb to Jones. There were also two very soft offensive PI called against Atlanta. We got what we deserved though for leaving points on the field at HT: defeat.

NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY MATTY ICE WAITS TILL THE END TO DO WHAT HE DOES. IT WILL ONLY WORK FOR SO LONG

ICS, I normally think coaches are too conservative but in that instance I thought they should have taken the 3 points.  In that game situation (10pts down) the 3pts would have got them within one score and also one of the main benefits of going for it on 4th & goal is you leave the opponents in bad field position if you fail, which of course does not apply on the stroke of half time.

I want 3 pts there. Same last week against the Pats. You fail you send the opposition in with their lead intact and high from the defensive stop. Still, season over, we'll do well to make 0.500 from here! Always next year!

John Gruden just finished saying if stevie jackson was on the field he would run it up the gut but with someone weighing around 40lbs less they decide to run it down the middle against one of the best defences in these situations,at that stage it had to be the 3pts,so much time on the clock

Yeah, it was a bad call. I think Rodgers and Snelling have done a decent enough job running, but there's a time and a place, that wasn't it.

Looks like Julio Jones might be out for the season. We need a full free agency and draft on O-Line and D to make the team more balanced, at the moment the house is on the skill positions and QB who gets about one second per throw, what throws is he going to be able to make with a 280 lb pass rusher on top of him every play. The value of the QB, receivers and RB increases the better the O Line. Can't cut that corner.

after the QB the O line is the most important area imo,even average receivers will get open when the QB is given time

Yep, definitely. Might as well start prepping for next season. I wouldn't be leaving Ryan in to get battered late season against the meaner pass rushes either that's for sure.

For me the falcons have looked lost all season,jackson injury didn't help but they have looked a team without any urgency,Tony G has been very good as usual,wonder if he will come back for another season,he said that last year hoping they could have a go this year.

they look like a team that gave it everything last year

tbh, last year they weren't that great and had a soft schedule and got big turnovers at the right time in games

I think that is something most people did point out that they had a soft schedule and they did, they were always going to be tricky to beat at home thought and they did what they had to last season and beat what was in front of them,took out seattle and had a good lead v the niners before class told.  Young cornerbacks this season,always tough.  As inner city says,no protection for ryan

after the QB the O line is the most important area imo,even average receivers will get open when the QB is given time


>>>Without question. That is exactly how I would build a team from scratch.  Last nights game showed what a weapon a big body, tall WR is though.

look at rivers this season,he was being crushed last year,bit of protection and his numbers are well up without all these star receivers

Rivers showed his true colours against Oakland last week, Lucks gonna tear him a new one on Monday night

big Tight ends that can catch

crucial to building a successful offense in modern NFL

nearly all top QBs have a tight end safety blanket apart from maybe Rodgers which shows how good he really is
