Media IS GOING OVERBOARD over how Manning is greatest of all time...saying little about Pats and Brady DESPITE Manning losing and throwing last minute pick.....Yes, in my opinion the ballwashing and excuses made of Manning even when he LOSES against the Pats....is annoying.....

Our defense WILL Be our achilles heel this year......some games (see Pitt) they will play lights out and give us an indication of what it will be like when they play nearly EVERY GAME like this.....other games it will seem like it is the first time playing together or their first game in the pro's........just going to be inconsistent......

Just have to know what you are in for this year and that is inconsistency......

Uhhhhh NO If you win, you don't collapse

Thanks for the idiot speak. I guess green could be yellow if yellow didn't collapse. A horse could be a zebra if it didn't become a horse?

They dominated, let the other team back in and made a play to win.

Seriously, many here just want to be miserable.

You have a team that's 9-2 has beaten the 4 elite teams in the conference with rookies and complain about not being "contenders" or idiot talk of a "collapse" in a VICTORY.

60 minutes, Bill.

60...MINUTES.

Bill Belichick does not care what the margin of the win is.

Coach Bill, in my opinion, HAS no peer.

But he is not infallible.

That win clearly happened DESPITE the Prevent Defense and the Prevent Offense, not as a result of it.

60 Minutes, Bill.

60 Minutes.

Nice win Pats!!! You all should be pretty happy about this game. Brady didn't put up stellar numbers but he managed the game very well. Nice defensive and offensive play calling. Hats off to Woodhead,Branch, Welker, Green-Ellis ( a hometown boy), and your secondary. congrats

The Jets have had how many "miraculous" or "lucky" wins so far this year? It happens. The Pats just beat Pittsburgh and Indianapolis by a combined 16 points in the span of 8 days. No matter how you slice it, that's impressive.

Just fine, Jamie. And FU.

Thanks for that......I did not see the stuff on NFL Network.....but it is nauseating watching these so called non biased media people basically gritting their teeth and foaming at the mouth......and basically talking about how lucky the Pats were to win and how great Manning really is (despite gacking away another chance to win).......

[sieglo]

I honestly don't see how anyone could watch this game and think Manning had a better performance than Brady. 3 INTs says hello. WTF are these talking heads thinking?

[RodThePat]

Jamie Dukes is a fat, useless, piece of **** who wasn't worth anything as an NFL player and is an awful commentator. Just a bitter failure of a human being.

[karguy85]

Who cares what others think. The Patriots just keep chugging along and winning the tight games. We win a close one with the Colts and apparently having glaring holes yet the Jets pull out one miracle win after another against mediocre teams and are the class of the NFL. Figures.

Oh, and don't forget two undrafted free agents at the running back position.

Somehow these are all superstars that make Brady seem much better than he really is. On the other hand, Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie, Jacob Tamme, Donald Brown and Pierre Garçon are treated as talentless wastes, whose success can be attributed solely to Peyton Manning. The media sure likes to put a nice little spin on reality.

Wake me up when Manning takes his team to the AFCCG throwing to Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney, Troy Brown, Ben Watson, Doug Gabriel and Chad Jackson.

C'mon really? These guys success can be attributed to playing for Peyton Manning. You think Austin Collie or Pierre Garcon are going to be nearly as effective on any other team except maybe the Pats? And to include Brown and Tamme in there is just absolutely silly.

I get you're upset that Brady doesn't get more credit, but you really can't deny that Manning makes these guys into what they are. It's even more impressive when you take into account that Manning is basically running the offense by himself, takes a massive role in directing practices, and takes guys on individually in the off season to help develop them.

You denying him that fact is just as silly as anyone who says the young guys on NE don't more or less owe most if not all of their success to playing for Brady/Bellichick.
