It's hard to run effectively on 2nd & 10 esp. when the defense knows it's coming. Pass/run, pass/run, pass/run, completely unnecessary end around, etc. It was a disaster. The running game wasn't super effective, but running is something that needs rhythm to work. Schotty ran the ball on back-to-back plays TWICE all game. Unacceptable.

This is not meant to be a knock on LT, who has been great so far, but Shon Greene isn't on the field enough, in my opinion.

Was it just me, or did Santonio Holmes get benched for most of the 2nd half after dropping that pass? The way Fox broadcast the game yesterday made it difficult for me to see who was on the field.

Yeah, 6 carries for Shonn is a joke. The problem with him though is he can't catch, so LDT's gonna get 90% of the snaps on passing plays. Then LDT has to get some carries as well so we're not telegraphing a pass play every time he's on the field. Holmes should've gotten benched, that was an abysmal drop on a sure TD.

Of all the perplexing things yesterday, I'm not sure why the hell Sanchez shied away from Braylon so much. He fell in love with Cotchery in the second half even after the drops, missed a wide open Braylon earlier in the game and appeared to force it to Cotch in the end zone rather than hitting Braylon on the 3rd & 8 bomb. And the one time Braylon gets one in his direction he makes a great shoestring catch. Weird that he didn't see the ball more.

I don't think Ryan called that

Which makes it even worse. 4th & 18 at your own 20, the punter's freelancing privileges should end. Weatherford admitted after the game that he thought it was 4th & 9 too. Just incompetence and poor communication all around.

Yes, but I will accept this type of mistake far easily than some others. At least he was trying to be aggressive, and make something happen. It was a poor decision for 4th and 18, but I don't think it was a major part of the loss.

Les would have made it work.

It pretty much gifted them three points in a 9-0 game, and it looks unbelievably stupid when held up to Rex's unwillingness to go for it on 4th & 1 twice later in the game.

If it had happened late in the 3rd quarter of a 0-0 game, or even early in the 3rd quarter after watching the incompetence in the 1st half, then I would agree that it was a big play, but at the time, there was no reason to believe that the 3-0 deficit was insurmountable.

What game were you watching?
 

Of course it made a difference both offenses were quite offensive! Oh stupid I think your jets might lose to the lions this week. Megatron and the boys are playing great. By the way who cares who called the fake, at the time made no sense because jets d was handling the pack. Oh and to all you people who thought pats offense would miss moss, think again! Once again bellichick looks like a genius. Offense best in league and the defense is playing better every week. Can't wait for the rematch. This is your air traffic controller reporting a crashing and burning jet on the foxboro field! lol:D

wtf..I'm a Packer fan and I don't understand this. You're the one who said Ryan called the fake and blasted him for that. And you were wrong. Just admit it.

I wonder why that is. Pats still got smacked by the Jets, none of your delusion can change that. But keep making those oh so hilarious 'crashing and burning' jokes. You know deep down your team isn't for real.

All i know is that we are 6-1! So get over your high self and the burning jet. Just like the democrats you are gonna lose next time! Lol:rolleyes:

This thread is pure comedy. Jesus, we aren't even at the halfway point yet. No arguement about it being a bad loss, but they are still 5-2 and have one of the top defenses in the league. I didn't see the game, but guessing since the final was 9-0 that they were a play or two away from winning it.
I do believe that Ryan and the Jets have this high and mighty complex that they are better than everyone else in the league. So I really think that a loss like that will serve more as a motivational tool for the team then anything else. I expect them to be back on point next week.
I know the Pats are 6-1, but I really think they are somehow doing it with smoke and mirrors at this point and think the Jets are the much better team.

Another horrible performance today... Pats are also really flat, OY....
This kid Stafford is pretty good, accurate and strong arm.

5-3, BRO...

This is pathetic, I puked in my mouth a little....

Stafford is an absolute stud, if he can stay healthy (I know, you can say that about a lot of QBs).

I told a friend 2 weeks ago hes a total bum and bust... I regret it, totally take it back. The kid is a star, if healthy.

Listening on the radio, apparently he is hurt again?
