These are the defensive calls allegedly stolen by the Pats. They are reprinted exactly as written in the Jets' Defensive playbook:
"Green 0: This is the one where Moss is effectively triple covered. DO NOT catch him. Run behind him, fail to stop him catching ball and allow him to run into endzone. The O will have no answer to this one. Make sure they don't work it out beforehand or they may throw the ball short or long".
"Green 01: Leave All Pro wide receiver open on a slant. Do not tackle when he catches ball, until he has made significant yardage. Top Secret; if the O finds out, they will throw the ball into coverage".
"Blitz Green 2: Send loads of people against Brady, but DO NOT get to him. Leave receivers covered one on one. Tackle only after they have made decent gains. The genius of this play is that it lulls the O into a false sense of security. We DON'T cover them, which is highly confusing for the O".
"Goal Line Green 6: Allow rangy and athletic TE to get open at back of endzone. Act like rabbit in headlights as Brady throws TD to Watson."
You can see that the Jets defensive plan was clearly known to the Pats. It CERTAINLY could NOT have been down to brilliance on the part of the Pats and true suckiness on the part of the Jets D, who failed to do pretty much anything right all game.
