Like I said, I'm willing to bet that's exactly what happened to Brady on the field. Very similar game plan. With the added intent of opening the old wounds through all of the trash talk.
Brady needs to see a sports psychologist before the next season. He needs to be over SB42 and this before he takes the field again.
I would point out, Moss should get more of a pass for his mental breakdown post-SB42 now that you see how Tom fared yesterday.
It has nothing to do with sports psychology. It has to do with offensive philosophy.
Excellent game analysis by Teddy. He should think of coaching, he'd make a great defensive coach.
1. Closer look at Jets' plan on defense. The question many are asking is what the Jets did to stop the Patriots' offense. They didn't bring the house. A lot of the time, they brought only three or four rushers, but the question was which three or four. At the beginning of the game, when it was a four-man look -- whether it was man or zone -- the fourth rusher lined up at the defensive end position and was a defensive back, Marquice Cole.
So you had a situation in which an offensive tackle, Sebastian Vollmer, was blocking a small defensive back. That was the Jets daring the Patriots to run the ball. When the Patriots did run it, they did it successfully. The Jets were willing to bite that bullet.
Big Ben might give TB a run if he gets his 3rd superbowl ring here.

Although the Jets sounded very confident last week with their words, the element of doubt was still there. Talking trash can be a great way to hide the feeling of doubt. For the Patriots, it was vital for them to get off to a good start to validate the doubt the Jets might have had in their minds. A first-possession touchdown not only would have gotten the Jets thinking but would have reminded them of the 45-3 loss on Dec. 6. Also, the young Patriots team needed that fast start for their own confidence; when they started fast all year, they were never stopped.
