No Decker, No Excuses

No Big Dick Decker hurts. No doubt about it. Aside from last week’s debacle, Decker was basically a lock for 80 yards and a touchdown every single week. He’s a part of one of the best 1-2 punches in the league, so any time you’re missing a guy of that caliber, its not ideal.

But one of the strengths of this team is multiple weapons on offense. When your fallback is Marshall, Enunwa and Forte, you should be able to withstand the loss of one receiver. Robby Anderson has to step up in Decker’s absence and this offense has to show they’re as deep as they are on paper.

Of course this is all predicated on Ryan Fitzpatrick not throwing 6 goddam interceptions. Last week was just about the least inspiring performance imaginable, but I can see Fitz going out there and playing well today. Because thats just what he does. He’s good one week, bad the next. Great one week, atrocious the next. Designed to stay smack in the middle of the road and be the Most Mediocre Quarterback Of All Time. The MMOAT. Dont be surprised if he shakes off last week and just goes out there and plays a solid game.

Russell Wilson can barely run on that knee and the Seahawks have done a terrible job at protecting him this year. So this is a game where the Jets D Line HAS to live up to the hype. They need to devour Russell Wilson. He’s injured, immobile, and unprotected. No excuses today. Get it done.
