Default Patriots are in playoffs trouble after this loss

This was a Big Game anyway you spin it...the Jets needed this win and so did the Patriots. We are now playing for our playoffs life sporting 4 AFC Losses we need to Defeat both Miami and Pittsburgh or else it's all over. We also lost the tie breaker with the Colts if we finish with the same record. I see wild card all the way because the Jets have a power puff Schedule the rest of the way if you minus Tennessee next week. I think the Jets after this win might be playing with some sort of confidence. Like i said before with the 4 AFC losses i think we are now playing for a Wild Card berth and we will have to win some games. Our Margin for error is very slim now especially against AFC opponents. I will say again looking at the Jets Schedule i see possibly one more Loss...they are playing some real terrible Teams after next week and i think Mangini knows it.

I disagree. I see Brett reverting to form and tossing TD's to the other team, and some of those remaining teams on the Jets schedule rising up to play spoiler.

I simply cannot see the Jets taking this division yet, because although they have won some games, they still are not USED to winning.

Brett will start taking chances, and when the pressure from the NY press piles on, he'll start making mistakes. Bank on it.

This game was the Jets Super Bowl.

The Pats are one game out of the division and at worst be tied for the Wild Card. They are not in playoff trouble right now. If they lose to the Dolphins next week, then they are in trouble.

We are not in trouble. We will have the playoff bye. I have nothing to base this on but blind faith in my team.

We're 6-4. Let's say we lose to Pittsburgh we can still be 11-5 which is a LOCK to make the playoffs. Another loss and we're 10-6. Very likely to make the playoffs.

We're fine, we just need to go 4-2 the rest of the way.

Pretty much. Like I said on another thread, they had to scratch and claw to eke out a win against a badly-depleted Patriots team. That will bother them as they will start to wonder what it will take to beat a fully-loaded team.

Yeah, the way I see it, the Pats have two more losses they can make.

I still think even in the win, this game takes more wind out of the Jets' sails than the Pats. They put so much effort into this win, they are bound for a letdown next week.
