Because stopping the Jets from scoring and winding up with 3 points in the process is a complete waste....

there will come a game where the defense will not be able to bail kubes out. he needs to rip half the pages out of his playbook. just keep it simple, we have the weapons.

Frustrating first half. I wanted to sit back and watch the Texans run up and down the field. Give credit to NY, they brought their A game, OR the Texans brought their C game, I can't tell which. Disappointed in the lack of a pass rush, really surprising.
Defense is kinda overrated. Pathetic to allow them to even score. Especially the pass defense, who coming in was 3rd best.
You knew the Jets weren't going to play as bad as they did last week. That being said, I can't believe they're running the CB on deep WR routes, and resorting to fake punts to utilize Tebow.
Kubiak: Biggest thing is we can't help them. We gotta play physical. Don't think you'll see him(Cushing) in the 2nd half.
I don't understand how it's wasted. A Field Goal or touchdown by the Jets is more likely than an interception return. You took 3 or 6/7 points away. You either have them dig into your lead or tie you going into the half, and they get the ball back. You didn't have clock to work with, and you burned time outs earlier in the half because you couldn't get the play in. It was touchdown or bust, and if you bust, it's 3 points. They're going to have 8 guys in the endzone.
The Jets were going for it on 4th down on their own 35 yard line. They're playing like the entire season depends on this game.
