"In the words of the great Steve Smith," linebacker Calvin Pace said, referring to Baltimore's loquacious wide receiver, "'Man, it's going to be a bloodbath.'"
"I think that the belief has been there from Day 1 and it hasn't wavered."
"We're going to treat it the same," Bowles said of the approach for Sunday's game. "We understand what we're going up against. We've got to continue to do the things we've been doing. We try to do anything else, then we won't have a chance to win."
So has Brandon Marshall,Clark Griswold Jersey, who set the franchise's season record with 101 catches — and counting. Decker has, too, with 75 catches, including 11 TD grabs.
"There was still a ton of belief and I just think you know being in the league and having experience that a lot of us do have, you can recognize when you have a good team," Fitzpatrick said. "So, I think the belief's always been there just because we see the way that everybody works week in and week out and we see the talent level on this team.
Ryan Fitzpatrick coolly marched the Jets down the field and won it with a 6-yard pass to Eric Decker.
So, after spending six years doing everything he could to get the Jets into the postseason, Ryan will be out to keep them from getting in.
He was half-right.
These are the things the Jets players expected back in September.
They haven't lost since.
"It's just the next game on the schedule,Nike Huarache Shoes For Sale," cornerback Darrelle Revis said,Air Max 90 Essential White And Black Womens, downplaying the matchup.
NEW YORK (AP) — All that stands between the New York Jets and the playoffs is Rex Ryan.
"The past couple weeks have been playoff games,Austin Hooper Falcons Jersey UK," Bowles said. "There really is no pressure. They just play together and we have fun and we try to get better as a team. There's no pressure on us. We know have to win. We've been having to win the past five weeks. "
After their loss to the Bills, the Jets fell to Houston 24-17 to drop to 5-5. A 4-1 start was washed away by inconsistency, lost opportunities and a search for answers.
Well, how's that for an absolutely juicy story line?
Fitzpatrick's steady play during the winning streak has been MVP-like. He has thrown for 1,525 yards and 13 touchdowns with one interception. In three of the last four games, Fitzpatrick has driven the Jets to a win in the final 2 minutes of regulation or overtime.
He and the Jets get to prove how much next Sunday at Buffalo (7-8). The Bills had high hopes in Ryan's first season, especially when he declared their playoff drought would end. Instead, they'll miss out for the 16th straight year.
Left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson echoed that sentiment: "I think we knew we had a special team even at the beginning of the season."
Pittsburgh, which held a tiebreaker edge over New York, surprisingly lost to Baltimore and slipped behind the Jets in the playoff race. As a result of Denver's 20-17 overtime win over Cincinnati on Monday night,Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey, New York can earn a berth with a win or if Pittsburgh loses to Cleveland next Sunday.
That's about as far as the coach will go in terms of motivational tactics. Bowles feels none of that stuff is needed at this point with so much on the line.
Ryan is already 1-0 against his former team after a 22-17 victory over the Jets in a Thursday night game. While Ryan was clearly excited by the win, he also predicted the teams' next meeting would probably help decide who goes to the playoffs.
The Jets (10-5) went from being outside the playoff picture to controlling their chances with a 26-20 overtime victory Sunday over the New England Patriots — helped in large part by Bill Belichick choosing to kick off rather than start the extra period on offense.
"Fitz has been amazing for us," Pace said.

"I think, first off, it's about getting the win and we know we are facing a team that is red hot," Ryan said in Buffalo. "This team is a complete football team."
Bowles let his team know what's at stake in his postgame speech Sunday, telling the players: "Win and we're in."
On Monday, Ryan praised the Jets, not adding any extra fuel — but, it's early in the week, of course.
The defense has been terrific the past month, led by a front line that made things miserable for Tom Brady and the Patriots.
"I want it," defensive lineman Sheldon R
