The Official Pats vs Jets Post game thread

[Deus Irae]

Dennard continues to be competitive defending against the pass, and that's as important as anything else going on. Steve Johnson showed that he's not ready to cover the big boys yet, but if he can just keep a lid on the WR2s, the Patriots will be able to keep McCourty as a roaming safety, and that's something that looks solid right now.

So why was he active and McElroy was inactive?

I thought the Patriots played an OK game.

Great Thanksgiving present. Thanks Pats!

Up in Amesbury (MA) for Thanksgiving with my family. So nice to be around fans.

Brandon Spikes, man. The guy totally changes our D. Caused another fumble tonight. All over the field. Dude is totally under appreciated.

Because Ryan and Co. are scared of McElroy on multiple levels. He made them look stupid when he commented on the locker room disconnect last season. He's smarter than anyone on their staff. If he went in and managed the game how'd they get back to Sanchez... McElroy is like a prisoner of war in the swamp. Although he's no longer alone as Tebow has a look about him that screams it's not just my ribs that are broken...

Good question. Let's ask the class :

1. Woody Johnson's orders
2. Tebow was well enough to play in an emergency
3. McElroy's got a Danny Wuerffel kind of arm and is nothing more than a disaster QB
4. All of the above

Great game. No scratch that... Amazing game!

Most things of note have been covered in the forums but no one is talking about that Kyle Arrington hit on Clyde Gates early in the 3rd quarter. It knocked Gates out of the game and Arrington out for a couple (maybe just one) plays. Firstly glad Arrington didnt get seriously injured since he might have had his best game this year, the new and unexpected depth in the secondary is refreshing. But anyway I specifically remember the ball clearly came out before Gates hit the ground. At worst it was an incompletion but theres no way they should have kept that spot and Im pretty sure it ended up being a 3rd and 1 and allowed the Jest to extend their drive. Commentators didnt even mention it, there was no coaches flags, nothing. I get we were up 35-3 but its the JEST and when Edelman fumbled later in the game there was of course no confusion there. Am I the only one who saw that?

Also everyones been talking about Edelmans injury and Gronks injury and what not... But did people not witness the real X factor that will make this offense unstoppable?! Thats right Brandon freakin Lloyd RAN AFTER THE FREAKIN CATCH. I mean he even got close to the first down and broke down papa Cromartie.. I mean I almost forgot WRs dont have to be falling to ground as they are catching but some legitimate YAC from him blew my mind. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD what an amazing game!
