Let me teach you a little something about Divisional matchups.

1991 Patriots - 6 - 10
1991 Bills - 13 - 3

The Pats and Bills split their two games despite the Pats being a mediocre squad.

This sort of stuff happens all the time.

Divisional games bring out rivalries and a level of play that other games just can't match. You can never count out a divisional opponent in any game.

Plus it's ******* Miami. How many times have they screwed up reality by beating us when they shouldn't have this decade?

Miami scored 2 special teams and one defensive td's, stack the line watch for the fluke option, and we should be able to handle them at home, in Miami they historically give us fits... Last year at home the exception we should be able to win this game with 2 weeks to prepare.. .With a healthy Wes Welker and a better game plane we should also trounce the jets at home as well... If we handle buisness on our end, we should be either 3 or 4 games up on our division opponets by Dec 1st..

I've opined on more than one occasion that some people here don't watch enough other teams play on Sunday. I guess the bye week proved some of you don't just watch alternate feeds, you live an alternate football reality.

The JETS and Miami are both extremely inferior teams. Any given Sunday for the 'Fins went out the window with Noodle Arm's last injury. Any given Sunday was what you saw from the JETS before other teams got film and a bead on their newest Sanchise.

With the loss of their young corner the Miami secondary has become less than pedestrian. Their defense crumbles down the stretch. Long drives exhaust their older core players. Even their coaches have no faith in Henne, justifiably I'd guess, since they can't help themselves from clinging to a gimmick that has run it's limited course.

The JETS play with more emotion than discipline and that ultimately takes a toll. Unlike his fan base, there is a reason Bill avoids the high highs and low lows, because the JETS are what results when you embrace that ****. Superbowls are never played in September. You can't even sniff one unless you consistently improve heading into November and December.

They are at best 2 .500 teams. If Sean, who is the ultimate worry wart can see that, there is something lacking in those of you who cannot.

No team brings it's A game every week, as Indy showed in struggling against SF yesterday, which is why there have been so few undefeated seasons and that is what any given Sunday is really about. But in the end they prevailed against SF because they are just too much better and more talented and prepared across the board to lose to truly inferior competition midway through the season. Injuries and coaching are the great equalizers at this juncture, but everyone is dealing with injuries and we have the superior coaching expertise on our sidelines. And a HOF QB under center.

There are only two seriously tough matchups left on our schedule. Both are on the road making them tougher yet. One is against a perennial contender who has yet to face anything resembling a contender, and the other is against a domed NFC team who has yet to prove they can handle a competent AFC team.

Miami (3-4) still has to face NE twice, plus the Steelers, Colts and Houston. The JETS (4-4) still have to face NE on the road plus Atlanta, the Colts and Cincy. .500 is almost the best either can hope for at this point.

That was sarcastic right?

Actually they did, and that was before they lost Pennington who was the only thing that barely sustained them and their wildcat fantasy in a season where Brady was on the shelf and Favre was melting in the Meadowlands. That's why they were pathetic in predictably getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs at home...they haven't had a remotely functional QB who could stay healthy since Marino...let alone a high functioning one.

Ironically I think Ginn broke an Izzo tackle on BOTH of his returns yesterday. One for sure, but i think on the other one Larry at least got a hand on him. Perhaps BB let him walk at the appropriate time.

Last year, last week, and yesterday don’t matter. Each game is its own entity. Today no points are added or subtracted due to the past. If we all do our jobs we can win, but if not then we ought to lose. Whatever the outcome, don't cry about any bad breaks. It is what it is. We’ll do the best with what we have. Victories aren't cheap. Each win has to be earned by superior effort and execution, not by a God-given right, over someone who wants to take it from us. Now do your job!

Uh, yeah. Notably Izzo wiffed, missing 'The Ginn Family' on one TD as Ted took it up the middle right past Izzo's flailing arms.

Izzo is an example of an ex-Patriot that is not dead to me. BB thought he was past his shelf date and let him go unsigned. Larry's just tryin to feed his family with a paycheck. So what if it's signed by the Dark Side of the Force.

In the '04 season we lost to the Jets at home and Dolphins on the road
In the "05 season we lost to the Dolphins at home
In the '06 season we lost to the Jets at home and Dolphins on the road
In the '08 season we lost to the Jets and Dolpins at home
In the '09 sesaoin we lost to the Jets on the road

You can minimize the mantra of on "any given sunday".. but the above bears it out... intradivision games give us a lot of trouble...
