The Patriots vs Jets POST Game Thread

[patsfaninpa]

Just win baby!

 

[Jackson 2]

If some people can't be pleased with this win, I don't know what to say. 5-2, 11 days off and 2 more home games in a row...I'm OK.​

 

[PP2]

I ****ing hate the Jets.

 

[Ross12]

Mini bye week to gear up for the Bears and the Broncos and then a full bye week before hitting the home stretch. I feel optimistic.

 

[primetime]

Sort of like the way Denver kind of barely escaped last week.

Yeah and the Chargers (who frankly might be the best team in the NFL) barely escaped the Raiders last weekend too. Never forget that divisional rivalries are divisional rivalries and the Patriots aren't the only good team that ends up in a slog in divisional games against objectively terrible teams.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

You can't lose a division game at home, they won it, and now only have one room road division game the rest of the year!

Huge win, again the Jets and Geno layer a perfect game and still lost!

I think overcoming key losses on both sides of the ball, on a short week is huge.


Now the are already preparing for the Bears and the bears still have a game to play in three days.


Thursday games are a mini bye.

The Jets have one of the best run defenses in the NFL and the Pats nearly put up 30 on them almost exlusively through the air. And yet you think they should have run more?

Yes.

The Pats averaged 4.3 yards per run. They had success on the ground. They then went one dimensional. The pass-run ratio was 37-15.

Do YOU want to keep the Pats D (which just lost its QB Mayo) on the
field for 40 of the 60 minutes? Poor game planning.

They played down to the Jets tonight (just like they did with the Raiders). and both times they almost got burned.

A balanced attack keeps an opposing defense guessing - - and your own defense from having to spend 40 of the 60 minutes on the field.

 

[PP2]

That will be the last irrational, emotional post from me for tonight.

 

[Delicate Genius]

To the tune of 31-17? I don't know if I'd call that escaping with a win.
Tonight's game though....

-Jamman

Geno threw a pick six in the final minute.

 

[pwes]

Man I'm not sure what to think of this game. I'll take the win as ugly as it was but this was really ****ing ugly. This defense needs a lot a work. Hopefully the extra time until the Bears will give them time to remember how to stop the run and tackle.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Dobson must really suck. Last year's draft of Dobson, Collins, Harmon, Boyce et al looks pretty abysmal as of right now.

Given how many Patriots were falling down, I'm kinda glad he didn't play.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Gotta be happy for Chris Jones. Redemption night. Only buzz kill might be that a lot of folks on Twitter were saying he can expect a fine for that low hit on Geno (Carson Palmer rule).

-Jamman

A 1 TD game until 40 seconds were left. Obviously not as tight as this game, but nothing approaching a cakewalk either.

That's why I added the 'kinda' in there.

 

[Seanzayyy]

That is a strategy that McDaniels seems to love - - abandon the run. It does not work. Look at what happens when they do that - - Miami game, Oakland game, KC game and NYJ game. And don't anyone try the "well that's what teams do when they are trying to come from behind in a game" because in 3 of 4 of those games they were ahead at the half.

Very true. I don't understand the abandoning of the run tonight. Gray looked fined during the few runs he had. And Vereen obviously had a great night. But I was just really applauding the team for winning the game with only 19 minutes or so of TOP rather than applaud the gameplan and the lack of the run game.

Chris Jones was guilty of the pushing from behind penalty last season in Pats loss to the Jets. Comes up with game-saving block tonite.

Yes, they pull one out of the fire that McDaniels set.

 

[juny]

Ugly win but a win nonetheless. I just hope tonights struggles are due to lack of time to adjust to the recent injuries to key players and not something that will last season long

 

[BradyFTW!]

The last point is the clincher for me. 20 minutes TOP reflects poorly on the offense. Don't want to belabor it too much, since a win is a win, but that is pretty much setting the defense up to fail.

If there was ever a team that this gameplan is good against though, it's the Jets. Good DL, awful secondary. We ran pretty well against them, but largely because they were playing the pass

 

[Ross12]

You know how they say people and animals can summon immense strength when on the brink of death? That was the Jets today, full of adrenaline and gasping for life, ultimately failing anyway and now left for dead.

 

[RIpats88]

To be fair the pats had 1 practice and 4 measily days to prepare on how to replacemayo and ridley. Im not too worried yet. JETS Always play us tough. Remember last year?

Another good front 7 and brady looked good again. Wouldve had a better day but edelman amd gronk had some uncharacteristic drops
