Default Immediate Game Thoughts

1.) We may have seen Cassel take his game to the next level. I am not sure if he was that good or the Jets were that bad.
2.) Brilliant second half adjustments by both coordinators. Too bad the defense couldn't hold up the entire second half and there were too many mental mistakes in the first half. McDaniels and his staff get extra credit for totally neutralizing Kris Jenkins for most of the second half.
3.) Mental mistakes are killing this team. Watson holds onto the ball, the Pats probably win in regulation. They might have even scored on that bad snap drive. Gaffney should have held onto the ball, but it wasn't nearly as bad of a drop as two weeks ago.
4.) The emergence of the young players on defense is astounding. They need to work on their mental mistakes and coverages on certain plays, but I think we got some keepers at ILB and in the secondary.
5.) Too bad we didn't pull this one off. Looking at the Jets' sidelines, if they lost it would have been one that haunts them for a while. It was quite clear they got too hyped up in the first half that they nearly fell completely apart in the second half when things started to go against them. I have been hard on Favre this year, but I give him credit for holding the offense together.
6.) We face a tough battle for the division, but I am still pretty encouraged in a loss. I think the Pats have a good young core on defense for the rest of this year and in the future. I still think the Pats still have a shot for the division although it is that much harder now.

Great effort,incredible comeback, but those mistakes haunted. Even with all that there was some really really good stuff from our guys. Cassel, Mayo, Guyton,Woods, Big Sey had a couple of monster stops...good half time adjustments. Mistakes, and an "iffy call" or two.

here is my immediate thought:

am I the only one who wouldve been less upset if we would have lost the game by missing a 2 point conversion at the end?

I ain't with you there. You bring the game into overtime in that situation especially with the division lead on the line.

To loose by 1 point would have been worse.....to loose by a field goal in OT is at least respectable.....

Maybe if you were on the road then you would go for it but being at home kicking the PAT was the right call

I'm with you. Anytime Favre was unleashed, we couldn't stop him and Cotchery. 2 pt conversion, at least we keep the end of the game in our own control, not depending on a coin toss. IMO, BB needs to trust Cassel even more.

Um, no. Our defense stinks and is decimated. Go for the win at home.
