1) The Pass rush. A pass rush. Anything. Last week was terrible, and for the season we have one player (Bryan Thomas) in the top 50 in sacks. Taylor hasn't had a sack since the Cleveland game. Ellis had 3.5 by week 5...and has had one since the bye week. The only pressure that the defense has created has come from DB blitzes, or from the DB's staying in coverage for 5 seconds and creating pressure from the good coverage. Forget having to go against Matt Cassel or (shit) Peyton Manning on Wildcard weekend, Ryan Fitzpatrick has proven that if he has time, he can carve up a defense. I want the majority of the front seven starting, and at least showing that they can create pressure against Buffalo before coming out of the game. They should've destroyed a bad Bears O-line, and on paper they should do the same against a possibly worse Bills O-line.
2) 2 good drives from Sanchez. Tomorrow's weather is going to be pretty much all you could ask for in January in East Rutherford, 45 and sunny with 7 mph winds. There are no excuses here, he has to show that he can deal with success and that he can play in not ideal weather. Last week was definitely a start, if he can continue it against a Bills defense who isn't as good as their 4th ranked pass defense shows (why pass against a team when you're winning by 20? They average a 92.6 QB rating against) it will bode well for tough road games to come in the playoffs.
3) More ground and pound. It's the formula the Jets used to get to the AFC Championship game last year, and it should be what they use to hopefully get there again. LT should definitely get a rest for this game, and it should be Greene and maybe even a little Joe McKnight. The O-line hasn't done a great job of opening up holes the last few games, so some big running lanes against the Bills would be a start.
