IF you stop the Jets run game and make Favre beat you their chances to win any gamego WAY DOWN. The Patriots can stop the run so.............

I still think the Pats are a better team. I hope the Jets come in to Gillette overconfident. I still like the Pats' chances.

Ok..
a. I hope the Pats win, and do like our chances as well.

b. How can you talk about the circumstances surrounding our win against the Rams and not mention the 'circle the wagons' mentality of the 1st game against Judas' Jets?

Our O is still not getting TDs on a regular basis, and there's blood in the water on D with all the injuries. Meanwhile the Jesters are getting more familiar with their team identity considering all the personnel changes, so they have reason to be confident.

I surely hope BB & co. can come up with a good one this week.

This year's team reminds me of an automobile windshield. It keeps getting chips and cracks, but there's a thin film holding it all together.

You have a better D than we've faced in a while and that will be the test, imo. If we can win the TOP, Hero turns to Zero.

Should be a good game and I hope you guys come with a boatload of swagger. Very likely this one comes down to a coaching match-up and THAT should make Jets fans nervous.

LOL, that is a great line.

Your a great poster for a Canadian.

This is kinda crazy that you call out the Jet players for having confidence after a huge win.

Rams are one of the worse teams in the league, there all banged up, still a 44 point margin of victory should instill confidence.

LOL on the first point. Since I am in the NY/NJ area, I know exactly what you mean.

You are playing down the thumping W. Didn't the Rams beat the Redskins on road a few weeks back (and knocked me out of my survivor pool

)? You just cannot take any team for granted based on its record. What the Jets defense did yesterday was very impressive. They caused turnovers and ensured that the team capitalizes on it.

I expect the game to be a well fought and tough game and hope Lord Favre helps us Pats in the absence of AT rushing him

Oh, is that what they are calling 44 point wins this year ?
A confidence builder.
Well I guess these things change from year to year.

Seriously, where are the "waaawaaa they are running up the score and making the other team feel bad" media types now?

What would you call it?

okterrific · 11-10-2008, 12:03 PM

"We're a contender."

Wow, I mean that's just Joey Porter-esque right there. What arrogant douches.

If you're ESPN circa 2007, you'd call it "Running up the Score," which is what we had to put up with for 17 weeks last year. I can only imagine what would have happened if the Pats hurried out the FG unit to try a 55 yarder at the end of the first half, up 37-0. Jolly Roger probably would have docked the Pats 17 first rounders and fined them 38 billion dollars...

Personally, I love it... the point of the bloody game is to score and not let the other team score (genius, I know...). But the double standard, while not surprising in the least, is still fascinating to me...

If they could face NFC West teams at home at 1 PM every week though, they would be the greatest team of all time.

I agree Rob, they are a legitimate contender. We need to shut them down on the ground and have Favre try to beat us through the air. This gives us the best chance...
