This Pats game on Thursday is as big as it comes... I'm thirsty for a win of this caliber... and to finally see a real Jets team beating real football teams...
They killed us last game on specials and the short routes to Faulk and Welker. I suspect they are going to take one or two early shots up top to Moss to open up the underneath stuff again. Our specials teams are playing much better than they were and we are going to have to let Revis take on Moss one on one alot to close up Welker and Faulk. If we can do that we have a great chance in this must win.
Hope you're right but the Pats handled us the first game without much of a problem. I'd like to think we've improved since then but this game still makes me very, very nervous. I think some of you guys are still euphoric after yesterday's blowout and you forget that this team has totally OWNED us since 2001.
The Jets finally seem to be establishing chemistry and it has shown in the last two games... they finally look like a team that is on the same page and executing well... That is really the primary difference between that game and this... also NE is a little less healthy but I really don't think that will matter much.
The first two in that stretch are going to decide if Denver is a statement game or not. If the Jets beat New England and play Tennessee tough (even in a loss) then Denver shouldn't even be on the same field as them. If we lose to New England and Tennessee then it won't matter what happens against Denver cuz this team ain't beating the top teams anyway. I'm assuming at this point that Denver in the Meadowlands is almost a bye. I hope the Jets play well the next two weeks and back that up.
*sniff sniff*....you smell that?!?!!?!?!............................that's the smell of first place......
Denver blows. They are the only team with a winning record that has allowed more points than points scored...Really...they blow
I like the chance of this team, because Jets are finally learning how to play physical football game - and that's how I like it. Patriots, with all due respect, have never been a physical football team - if they were, they wouldn't have lost the SB last year. Football is a game of will, and it's always easier to impose your will if your team is much more physical than your opponent. I want to see Jets literally beat up on the Pats undersized OL and defensive front 7 all game - by 4th quarter, I'd like to see the Pats defense simply too much gassed to do anything.
