Jets veteran QB Brett Favre was asked to be more of a game manager at Buffalo as he only threw downfield once.

The Jets have lost their leading tackler, linebacker David Harris, for two to three weeks after he had surgery on his injured groin.A He has 52 tackles on the season, best on the team.A Harris didn’t make the trip to Buffalo last week when the Jets traveled to take on the Bills.A Vet David Bowens will likely start in Harris’ place.A He had five tackles and a sack vs the Bills in the win last Sunday.

Even though he didn’t practice today, Steven Jackson says he is still hopeful to play Sunday at the New York Jets.A “I am optimistic, very optimistic,” Jackson said. “I’m hoping maybe even Saturday if I can during the walkthrough, have my own personal practice and see if I am able to burst.”A Missing the practice session today was the second straight day he has not practiced.A Jim Haslett said that if Jackson can’t practice tomorrow, he won’t play in the Meadowlands.A “We have to see full speed, hit the hole, running through the hole like he is 100 percent,” Haslett said.

Last week : Chicago: W, 27-23 Denver: L, 26-17 Lost 16% last week, mostly because 12.8% ended up on the Broncos.

The DeAngelo Hall saga should wrap up in the next 24-48 hours, as now that he has cleared waivers, he should make up his mind on where his NFL career is going to continue.

First place in the AFC East will be on the line Sunday at Foxboro when the Buffalo Bills come calling on the New England Patriots in one of the better week 10 battles. The Bills have been struggling, as they have lost two in a row, both to AFC East teams in the Dolphins and Jets.

When I first got out of college, I lived in a hovel of a house in a terrible part of Philly. My housemate and I were in a corner building, and I had the second floor bedroom, which had this gun turret window view of the abandoned buildings, crack dealer area, and elevated train. It was stupid cheap, allowed me to live without a car, and was all I could afford on temp wages as I waited for a journalism job that would pay a living wage in George Bush’s American recession
