JETS: Pats defense old and slow

[SHOWTIME15]

here we go again with this old and slow stuff.

JETS DUE TO PAY BACK BILL - New York Post

 

[tanked_as_usual]

the pats defense is faster than the jets.......and bruschi and vrabel are now the only starters older than the jets starter for that position

they're the ones talking now.........their whole world will be in disarray

 

[JSn]

A win, even a squeaker, will almost wash away SB42, at least for a week.

Seriously, the pollution in NY is having a catastrophic effect on brain cells.

 

[Angry Man]

I think someone needs to remind the Rats about their beloved QB...

... and what happened earlier this year.

I think someone needs to hook brett favre up with some NAIR

That picture does a really crappy job of causing happy feelings about tonight.

"Losing this game for the Jets is, quite simply, not an option. They didn't spend $140 million in new talent during a frantic offseason of retooling then add Brett Favre to lose twice to the Matt Cassel-led Patriots."

how great Jets think of our 'great' QB! What a statement!

We will see if it's true or not tonight.

 

[DGameguy]

It's like everyone down there is taking stupid pills. How the hell is the source keeping anonymity going to prevent this from being used as bulletin board material?

Ironic that the Jets player spoke only under the condition of anonymity because he didn't want to provide bulletin board material, then spoke - and provided bulletin board material. All the anonymity did was convey a lack of confidence.

One Jets offensive player, who spoke under the condition of anonymity because he didn't want to provide bulletin board fodder for the Patriots, talked about being "sick to our stomachs" about the Jets' 19-10 loss in Week 2 at the Meadowlands. He felt the Patriots were vulnerable - particularly on defense. Not to mention it was the first game with Matt Cassel at quarterback, after Tom Brady was injured in Week 1 vs. the Chiefs.

The player spoke matter-of-factly about how "slow" and "old" a number of the New England defenders are and how he believes the Jets should be able to put up "a lot of points" on them tonight.

The Week 2 loss was maddening to the Jets. They thought that was their chance to finally beat their division rival. Cassel was starting his first NFL game. Yet the result was the same - a teasingly close game in which the Patriots simply made fewer mistakes and won. Again.

Another bugaboo in this series of futility for the Jets is how poorly their offense has fared against the New England defense. The Patriots have held the Jets to 17 points or fewer in 11 of the last 12 games between the teams.

Gee, imagine what the defense could do if it wasn't old and slow.

Losing this game for the New York Jets is, quite simply, not an option. They didn't spend $140 million in new talent during a frantic offseason of retooling then add Brett Favre to lose twice to the Matt Cassel-led Patriots.

Seems like the Jets are putting a whole lot of pressure on themselves. I can foresee that leading to mistakes such as dumb penalties, and playing too tight. The more I read the quotes from the Jets players, the better I feel about the Patriot's chances. The Pats seem to really be in their head, and I'm not sure the Jets will react well the first time something in this game doesn't go their way.

Yeah, like the coin-toss, hehe.

jets have it coming

 

[VJCPatriot]

I think the only starters on the Pats defense over 30 now are Bruschi and Vrabel. So the idea that the Pats defense is old and slow, is just an image/projection that doesn't fit the current team at all. Whoever fills in for Adalius Thomas is going to have huge shoes to fill though.

 

[BSR]

So this player didn't want to give his name? Why not? Who cares if the Patriots have bulletin board material? The Patriots didn't care about smack talking Freddy Mitchell. The only time you refuse to give your name is when you are afraid about having to back up your talk. The Jets are obviously scared of failure.

 

[STFarmy]

Says the team that signed Law and Favre. God I hope they lose 12324341-0 tonight.

iam surprised WEEI and PFT and all havent mentioned this juicy talk

That right arm you see grabbing Favre's chest is now broken in two - Thanks for the reminder :disagreement:

Dennis and Callahan talked about it with Adam Schefter. Schefter blasted the Jets player for saying something so stupid.

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

This game is not only big for the Jets, but more importantly big for Eric Mangini. In fact, his coaching seat will be on fire if they lose to the Pats without Brady, Thomas, Harrison, Maroney, Morris, Jordan etc. for the second time this season. If the Jets don't win the divison and don't make playoffs, Mangini is toast. There is no other team I like to see the Pats beat more than the Jets since that "Spy Gate" crap.

I like your analysis, spot on. It does seem the Jets are cauing themselves an unnecessary amount of pressure.

Boy, that's an awful lot of points to put up in 60 minutes!

But I hope you're right!
