sorry, Patjew, but i need perhaps 1 day more to re-cover...it was so tough and i feel exactly the same way after our L against NYG in the Super Bowl
i admit that i still can not believe we lost a game like this
but...i try...we have to think about the Jets
we are @ home and we need a win as an Afc East game: i thought the Jets were a better team, expecially at the beginning of the season but for sure they will give everything next sunday
a crucial game...
The nice thing is that this time we only have to wait 7 days for another game. In 2006 and 2007 it was 7 months. I think we'll all be feeling better this time next week.

It's a biggun and never a slam dunk when those guys come to town. The rivalry has really peaked and I can't wait for this one. I'm glad that Leon won't be there, that guy is really tough, not to mention Jenkins. But I'm not predicting the blow out that many others are.
I'm hoping Morris and Light can get some PT this week.
I think the Pats are going to beat the Jets like a rented mule.
Re: Moving Forward: Positives Heading into the Jets Game
I was thinking of posting a thread on the Colts game, but I was afraid of drowning with land in sight in that endeavour. So here's what I think about the Jets game (influenced by the Colts game).
I think Hoyer will end up closing this game out, but that they won't want to end it that way. The score will be out of hand early. Some of that's motivation, but some of it is...
Derrick Burgess is starting to show up. I think it was mentioned by some of the realists here that it might be a slow progression for him. This will be a good test and I think he'll pass.
Isaiah "The Prophet" Stanback looks like a solid receiver. With Edelman back, that makes 3 solid #3 WR options when you include Aiken.
Morris looks to be back. That's huge, and I hope everyone realizes how huge it is. Also, I heard one interview with a player (I forget who) who almost slipped that the RB's were soon to be all back, and then diverted the talk to Sammy.
Vollmer is the LT at this point and he's badass. Brady will be baking cakes back there.
Brady is all up ons. No doubt, he's coming to play every week now. All kinds of big-plays, the return of the long-ball, and four consecutive 300+ yard games now beats his personal best and I don't think the streak ends Sunday.
A win would essentially leave only the Dolphins with even a prayer of sneaking back into the mix and the Pats know this. Missing the playoff's is a much bigger stake than losing home-field advantage and I think this will push the Pats hard.
The smell of blood will create a feeding frenzy. If the Jets get soft even for a minute (like we did on Sunday night) the Pats will go for the jugular. They've talked a lot and the Pats owe them a trouncing. Moreover, the sting from Indy will motivate a merciless attack.
Make no mistake guys, this game isn't necessarily a gimme, but it's pretty darn close. I don't expect a win, but a vicious, statement making, headline making F.U. win in our house.

Hopefully we will start to see them this week. Edelman is back. Morris has a good chance to be back. Pass rush is a little iffy but with Burgess looking more alive, when TBC comes back maybe this will be decent. It won't be a great pass rush with this personnel but it can hopefully be better.
Yes, I agree with everything you said. I think Edelman was really emerging as the teams 3rd WR until he broke his arm. I thought that Maroney really didnt run that bad in the Colts game. Hes scored TDs in each of the past 4 games. I loved the run to set up the pass early in the game. It worked to perfection. Burgess showed some potential Sunday. This team the past few years has never really been known for its pass rush so its not unexpected that we havent had a strong one this season

Give it up. Move forward.
We're still in good shape to go into the playoffs as one of the top 3-4 teams in the NFL.
Everybody in the world knows that we kicked the Colts *ss for 48 minutes and totally dominated them before letting them back in the game, and that we will be bent on annihilation if we meet them again. Who do you think will be more afraid of that meeting, the Pats or the Colts?
Let's move forward and build on this. I want to see the Pats play the rest of the season with a huge chip on their shoulder from this loss in a cold fury that takes no prisoners. Hopefully the 4th quarter meltdown will destroy any further uses of soft defensive schemes and predictive offensive schemes, and we will go back to the things that make us dominant.
I guarantee you that if we destroy the Jets and beat NO decisively in subsequent weeks we will be 8-3 going to Miami and we will be heavy favorites to win out and go 13-3.

Ya gotta have faith that the Pats are the type of team that learns from and improves as a result of analyzing its mistakes. Get healthy. Win the division. Wreak hell.

Now that a day has passed, I'm pretty stoked that we can hopefully look forward to getting back these 2 guys, Sammy Morris, and hopefully Fred Taylor.
I'd like to see more of Stanbeck as well.
If there's one thing Peyton did show, is that he's willing to go to guys other than Wayne & Clark for big plays. Brady is pretty locked on Welker, Moss & Faulk.
Re: Moving Forward: Positives Heading into the Jets Game
this is huge game regardless of the rivalry crap. the pats havent lost 2 consecutive games since 2006 .but the last time they lost 2 consecutve was colts and jets .
I hope they come out like they did against the colts
