I'll be enjoying this game from Jetblue at 37,000 ft, give or take a few! Might even be flying directly over it.

Sanchez can suck it though!

Are you nuts? You wouldn't mind losing ot the Jets?

BTW, wait until they lose to the Rams and you'll be able to get tickets for the Patriots game for nothing.

That was a long time ago. And, the Pats were royalty in those days; also pre-Spygate. Still, it would be nice if you were right and I was wrong. I'd just be careful about finding out.

Lower level. Front rows. A different crowd both on the concourse during breaks and in the stands. If you're sitting in the cheap seats, I'd be careful.

I would agree with this. I was in NY/NJ earlier this season and saw the Browns/Giants on Sunday and the Texans/Jets on Monday. We were in the cheap seats for the Giants game and had a Browns fan with us who cheered on a moderate basis throughout the game without issue as the Giants fans did not see the Browns as any type of rival/threat (although a person who decided to wear Eagles gear for some insane reason had a pretty rough go of it but that is to be expected).

For the Jets game we were front row endzone with about three rows of Texans fans to our right and Jets fans to our left. Honestly, I feared a brawl may break out but everyone was extremely well behaved. As a Patriots fan I had no problem cheering for the Texans with the rest of their fans (lesser of two evils really) but I would not have been cheering for the Texans had we been in the upper deck and just would have kept my mouth shut.

I would recommend going through, very easy to get to/from the stadium and it is a pretty nice place to watch a game.

I got tickets on Row 13 on the visiting team side. When the score is 38-7 by the fourth quarter, I think I'll go up and harass Brady for an autograph.

I was at that game. Stadium was less than half empty. it was also freezing out. If I remember correctly, McGinest may have had a big INT or maybe a sack to ice a close game. That game had all the excitement of paint drying.

Despite that the Jets look simply flat out bad right now is not a guarantee that the game will be a cakewalk.

This is a holiday game on national TV with the Jets at home and an annual Super Bowl preparation type game for Rex and co.,so don't think motivation won't be a part of the game for them to try and at least make the best out of a bad season by trying to beat their biggest nemesis at least once.

The Pats D had little answer for Jeremy Kerley last time they played,I would think he will be the main go to guy for them against this porous secondary.

Sanchez has had several real good games in his career and most of them at the expense of the Pats,we always make him look like Joe Namath

It will be a 3 or 4 point game either way IMO

All good points. The Patriots D has made a lot of mediocre QBs look great thus far. Talib will be a big help assuming they have him in man coverage but on zones he's not up to speed yet and we are playing without some key people ourselves.

The Jets have a season full of pride going into this one game - Rex will tell them "this is your Super Bowl" if only to keep his own job.

The good news is that the Patriots have as much pride invested in this game as well. It's not "must win" by any stretch of the imagination but I don't see them getting lulled by any AFC east team, let alone the Jets.

Bring it on. I can take care of myself pretty well.

Getting banned from Jets games for life is something I can live with, especially if I take a few Jets fans with me

Commuter rail from CT isn't that bad or costly and MTA to the stadium from NYC shouldn't set me back much either.

Given the many errant Sanchez passes I've seen, your life might be in jeopardy
