She's the female Shank Shaughnessy. The old Globies, along with Borges and Felger, despise Belichick, Kraft and, in particular, Patriots' fans.ESPN's Patriots-Jets prediction roundup - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

I can't get over the amount of Pats fans who don't think the team has a chance to win. Where is there loyalty?
What does loyalty have to do with it?
The Pats have never beaten Sexy Rexy's Jets at Green Bean Stadium.
Now's their chance.
I am one of the few people who think the Pats probably won't make the playoffs.
However, I would be stunned. Yes, stunned if they do lose this game. Was not surprised they got beat the last two games.
Here is why.
1.) This team has gotten beat twice in a row. They're clearly not in a good mood.
2.) Everyone is doubting them, and the entire world feels like they're done. Brady and Belichick are at their best when everyone doubts them.
3.) The perfect storm is set up with the team they hate the most. Any talking the Jets does only adds more fuel and anger to the Pats.
I think the Patriots have been playing tight lately, and this is the perfect game to let it all loose, and just go out there and play. I honestly expect them to win easily, and really enjoy themselves while doing it.
If the Patriots can't win this game, I am very scared for them the rest of the way. It tells me they're really done if they can't win this game. To them, this is definitely the biggest game of the year. I know they're going to treat it that way.
Anytime a football team lose three in a row, they have serious problems. Especially a team like the Patriots.
They can't afford to go to 5-4.

Given how soft their upcoming schedule is, how can you reconcile the idea that you will be stunned if they lose this game and the idea that they won't make the playoffs?
The Patriots are in desperation mode. I think there's a chance they don't make the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised either way.
I know their schedule appears softer, but this team has regressed each and every week. You can't ignore that.
I think the Pats are capable of rallying around for a game like this, and just letting it all loose and displaying a very impressive performance.
Especially Brady, I think he should have his best game to date. If not, then I'm even more worried for his sake and the Patriots.
I think we all agree if the Patriots lose this game, them missing the playoffs is very much a reality.
My problem with the Patriots is the same its been all year long. They're more than capable of showing up and looking like world beaters because of Brady and Belichick. But they can't do that throughout the course of the season. Because as we've been saying all along, this defense is one of the most dreadful defenses I've ever seen.
Ignore it? I reject the notion out of hand.
The 3 worst matchups for the Patriots, in the entire NFL, are the Packers, Saints and Jets. Of those 3, only the Jets are a bad matchup because of the defense. Expecting Brady to have his best game of the year, and proclaiming concern if he doesn't, is completely misreading the game matchups.
I disagree with your claim. I don't think "we" all agree with that, at all.
Under BB/Brady, the Patriots record against cupcake opponents is excellent. It makes no sense, IMO, to claim that the Patriots will beat the Jets and then start losing a bunch of games to the likes of the Colts, Dolphins, Redskins, etc....
First of all, I don't think the Jets are that good as well. They're not playing the Green Bay Packers. I think the Steelers and the Giants are much better football teams.
So the notion of them being able to beat the "Jets" and lose to other bad teams is not that ridiculous at all. The Jets have beaten some very average, to bad teams themselves.
I think Brady and Co. will be putting everything into this game. They'll be treating it like its the Super Bowl.
Yes, I would be very concern if Brady stinks it up. He's Tom Brady! Are you kidding me? Yes the Jets got a very good defense, but you're telling me Brady can't go out there and totally own them? Did you not see what he did to them last year, with basically the SAME team?
