The O line played fine. But I can't see Faulk and BenJarvus Green Ellis having many 100 yard games.
The main thing I took out of the game is how good the Jets defense is. They put a lot less pressure on the QB than they usually do and forced Brady to beat them. He couldn't. Even Cromartie seemed to wake up when Revis got hurt.

Stat from yesterday that proves the Jets don't have to send the house to be successful, even without Revis: They sent 3 or 4 men on 63% of 2nd half plays and only sent 6+ men once and the Pats' passing attack still couldn't do anything. This will only get better with Pace back, likely in Week 4. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't anxious to see how they do against a team that actually employs running backs, but they held the fort without Jenkins last year, so I'm optimistic.
The Jets are better than the Patriots, period. As for the Dolphins, we'll get an idea on Sunday.
