Random thoughts:
1) Pats running left....whoever BB was targeting on the right side of the Jets D line has to be worried that fat Rex is about to ask him to bring his playbook into a private meeting. The Pats ran left early with limited success...and I started to get pissed....ah....but what do I know...because that meat was being tenderized for a 4th quarter feast...and it was delicious
2a) The Jets WRs complain about their O during the week, then proceed to drop balls on the first two series forcing punts. Pats D was handed those first 2 three and outs on a platter. This game could have gone in a different direction very easily
2b) WTF was Tannenbaum thinking taking Plaxico over Braylon Edwards? Plax and his hands.....nothing has changed since jail. P.S....that sideline catch /overturned call should have been called inconclusive.....and a catch IMO.
3) Welker going for that short punt reminded me of a certain Sox left fielder...Now Wes knows what contract he compares best to
4) Can the Pats hire whoever scouts Jets' DBs?
5) Points against...Pats have given up fewer points than the vaunted Jets...by 1 point
6) Great white north....Buffalo's secondary feasted off another QB...Do not ignore the team behind the curtain
7) BJGE...M o a M...Man on a Mission. The total commitment Ben showed on every play was impressive. He followed his lead blocked then launched his body through gaps...total commitment. A shining example of team ball and unselfishness. Good stuff. BJGE earns unlimited whirlpool visits this week
8) Hernandez looked a little chunky out their...or was that me
9) I thought Ghost could kick it through the endzone? Anyone see Janikowski yesterday. Raiders just let their guy tee it up from 50+ all day.
10) A common theme from Jets fans over the past few weeks....DEPTH. The Jets are thin at O line, RB, WR, TE. Depth is their achilles now and through the rest of the season. Of course the Jets fans blame their OC instead of the roster make up....have at it JEST fans[/QUOTE]
That has been a constant them with me for a couple of years. The Jets have been trading multiple draft picks for ageing front line players, for several years now. You can't keep a team winning when you only get one or two picks a year. The depth disappears and the good players age faster you can replace them.
For the first two years of the Wrecks regime, they were very fortunate having far fewer than normal the number of injuries, too.
Well the Law of Averages has caught up with them. Bart Scott has gone over the Hill, as has Leonard. Their WR pool is basically empty. The two starters at WR, were high picks dumped by two teams or more before arriving in Jetland. The reasons why are there for everyone to see. They have only one RB in shone Green as "Classless" is fully over the hill.
Wrecks can't run the "Ground and Pound" without a superior Offensive line. Unfortunately age has robbed them of a RT, and there is a nonentity playing in one Guard spot. Not only do they lack depth, they only have three out of five players with starting ability, playing.
Their DL is short on starters, and consists of three players only.
As I predicted, the distance between the Jets and Pats has opened to more than the three games that it became last season. We are on course for 12-4, and they look to be on course for 7-9, or so. The Bills may actually pass them by.
