Sanchez picked apart the Pats secondary. That is going to be a real problem area for you guys. Not to mention you have absolutely no running game. Pats will win their fair share of games without a doubt. But you guys are going to need to improve dramatically in those areas to advance at all in the playoffs.
Moss has to play better. Save the one TD catch - He otherwise had the single worst game I've ever seen him play in his entire career. He was awful beyond belief.

He had some games with the Raiders where he did nothing - but the offensive line was so hopeless - they couldn't even complete a seven step drop and he was basically reduced to an outside possession reciever with no chances.

Moss is the running game. The offensive lines pass blocking is Moss. As the O-line goes so should Moss. As Moss goes - so will the running game.

The defense isn't very good and that's the biggest concern.

This isn't very realistic. I agree that Moss has to play better, but does he really have an excuse for yesterday? Where was Welker in the 2nd half?

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.

I think (hope) they learned their lesson from the Ravens game.

Lets see what happens in Foxboro. The Bengals got TKO'd there before they even knew what hit them.

If they lose, I'll just blame some statistical trend that only I was smart enough to notice and has totally been the problem all along.

You'll have to find one.

The Patriots have collapsed on the road against everyone they've played.

It's getting to the point where road games are like watching a faint hearted sprinter come busting out of the gate early - and stopping to a walk in the stretch.

Vrabel has been an awesome leader in Kansas City of that defense this year - he forced a huge fumble that helped win them the Browns game. Richard Seymour is a truly outstanding player that the defense has missed and he's helped the Raiders D out a lot. Guys like Brusci and Rodney Harrison aren't a dime a dozen.

I think the Pats still have outstanding coaching - but in these road games - it seems like they're just so much better prepared on both sides of the ball early on .... but as the game progresses - it becomes a horror show.

I don't like Welker but you have to cut him some slack. He came back faster from the severe knee injury than anyone in history other than Rod Woodson. He will take a while to be 100%. That being said, he shies away from contact and doesn't really like playing against the real physical teams. The Jets know that and tried to get pretty physical with him early.

Can't argue with any of this.
