NFL 2012 Week 4 |OT| Dewey Beats Truman

Jets are built on the foundation of Defense

Hard tackles, multiple schemes, blitz galore

The way it works is the D feeds off the O's possession of bleeding that clock
Multiple runs, offsets, and the occasional decent pass to gain yardage

Recently it's all Topsy-turvy now

The D gets destroyed by the 3 and Outs over and over and over
No time to breathe, recoup, set-up for next set, so everything is done off the cuff, Jets D fail due to other teams realizing that
That is why Kap all of a sudden became a stand-out, it took 1 quarter for Jets D to adjust, if Jets prolonged even 1 or 2 series at least 5+ minutes, the Jets D would catch up

TL;DR

D feeds off O, if O incompetent and 3 & Out multiple sets, D suffers
Play Calling goes from set plays to Catch-Up to the other teams scheme, and 75% with-out smart skilled players... you are going to fail, fail fucking hard!
 
Halftime thoughts:

Well, I guess I'll just have to settle for only having one good Lions season, and that was last year. Maybe they'll be good again and can get back to the playoffs next decade.
