Don't look now but... - New England Patriots Forums

The Jets have 3 losses, putting the Pats in first for the AFC East. If we can beat the Colts in a few weeks, that puts us a long way towards getting a first round bye (assuming the AFC North promises to beat each other up a couple more times).

Just makes me really wish we could have gotten that Denver game for a shot at home field throughout...

It is what it is...nice to be back in first.

Plus NT Jenkins is probably lost for the season with a knee injury.

NFL.com ticker reports a suspected ACL, that will hurt the Jester D - though it is near that time for Jenkins to normally start sucking wind and napping between plays to conserve energy.

Yeah he looks to be done for the season and probably his career, as good as he is when healthy the guys body just cant hold up. Hes had chronic knee injuries for years now, being that big and playing that position with a bad knee spells bad news. Big blow to the jets d, I hope they suffer the rest of the season screw them.

Yeah, it'll be tough for Jenkins to come back for this one. Hope he can, because it sucks for injuries to dictate when a player has to retire, but hasn't he missed most of two seasons already with knee injuries? At some point, it must be tough to go back and go through all that rehab again...

He didnt miss last year but was really hindered by an injury last season where he played like crap the second half of the season.

If we beat the Bucs this week, 5-2 placed with the bye and the Dolphins coming to Foxboro.

That would be where even the more optimistic fan would have to be happy with the Patriots standing given Brady returning from surgery and a new defense.

Kris Jenkins' knee injury is "probably severe"
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 18, 2009 9:47 PM ET
The Jets may have lost more than a division game on Sunday.

Jets coach Rex Ryan admitted Sunday night that the knee injury nose tackle Kris Jenkins suffered against the Bills was "probably severe."

Rod Boone of Newsday was more ominous, tweeting: "From the sound of things and the way some of the players are talking, Kris Jenkins' season may [repeat may] be over with a knee injury."

The New York Daily News writes that people familiar with Jenkins' injury fear he has ligament damage and is done for the season.

It's looking good at the minute but I think we're a ways away from talking about first round bye's.

We did this after the ravens game, got all excited that we were on track then got spanked 2nd half by the Broncos.

One game at a time no?
