That game was about plays like shanked punts as much as it was about anything the Patriots did.
Every time we have been one dimensional, we have lost.
We are at our best when we mix it up.
Why am I repeating this?
I wonder if Joe Namath secretly wants the Jets to never win a SB so he can maintain his fame as "Broadway Joe"?
Crumpler's drop, the fake punt fiasco.
Many things went unright.
Why? So we could get into a running game, defensive battle with the jets? Do you think that type of game favored our team?

what was bradys qb rating again against the jets? Just so we can compare with rapistberger
Considering it was successful in the 45-3 starter, and the main RB was breaking off almost 5 YPC when he DID run the ball early in the divisional game... yes, I think having the best offense in the league being multi-dimensional would have favored us.
Our two main RB's averaged 4.0 and 5.5 YPC in that game. IMO, it's safe to assume that, taking the results of the offense in the second meeting and taking the averages of the running game when the Pats DID run, that it would have been beneficial to be more multi-dimensional on offense before the 7:00 mark in the 4th quarter.
Absolutely. All 3 Jets/Patriots games were as much about what the losing team did to lose as they were about what the winning team did to win.

The Patriots running game is a lot better when the team has a lead and Brady is throwing almost perfectly than it is when the team is behind and Brady's making bad passes. It's not really designed to batter the hell out of an opponent that knows it's coming. That's actually why running the ball in the 4th quarter last week was such a good idea. Unfortunately, BB didn't leave well enough alone, demanded that BOB pass the ball, and got the drive stalled out.
I hate to say this, but the Jets might get back in this one. The Steelers have lost intensity on both sides of the ball.
