Apparently if you have Deion Branch on your team and he is playing,you don't lose to the Jets

Deion Branch teams are undefeated against the Jets posting a 7-0 mark since he was drafted in 2002

Does not matter if you are the Patriots or the Seahawks,if you have Deion the Jets fall.

As a matter of fact the Jets have not come any closer than 5 points in defeat each time Deion is on the opposite roster and active in the game.

2002 - 44-7 Win
2003 - 23-16 & 21-16 Wins
2004 - 23-7 Win
2005 - 16-3 & 31-21 Wins
2008 - 13-3 Win (w/Seahawks)

Those teams didn't have Revis or Cromartie either. That said, Branch might be a tougher match for them being a great route runner.

Saying that is like when an anouncer says, you know that QB has never thrown a pick against this team, then POW! Next pass is picked off!

Can you say Jinx?

I'm just sayin'

I don't like the pats can't lose threads but these are past stats and final scores,not predictions.

If you watched the game Thursday they continuously said Brady has not had an interception in several games and he didn't in that game either so in that regards it did not jinx it.

It is a useless stat, but this is an offense far more equipped to beat the Jets. Hoping for WR to beat the CB one on one is more difficult. Now, if Revis takes out Deion we still have Welker and the TE to throw to. Whoever Cromartie takes will have a solid matchup unlike last time when Cromartie's long and lean frame matched up well against Moss.

We may not win - although I think we will - but we match up well now. Our #2 WR is a good matchup on Cromartie and our TE match up well with their Safeties. Revis can do what he likes with Deion, the game will be played elsewhere.

Rex Ryan is tossing and turning in his sleep over this.

No offense, but I am just not a big fan of these types of "trend analysis"

It's like when they say, "The Dolphins are 13-2 all-time on Monday Night Football".

Who cares? What do those games have to do with THIS game? The personnel is different, the karma, the momentums of the teams - everything.

Now certainly when you talk about a player, it is a little more applicable because a player can make things happen as an individual, but still...I would much rather match them up as they currently stand and try to make an informed prediction.

Better stat: Pats have never lost at home with Brady and Welker, including the playoffs. 23-0.
