I'm bringing this up, NOT because I think the Pats will score 100 against the Jets, but because of the fact that my high school football team faced a similar situation.
We had an upcoming game against our rivals, and coming into it, we were one of the highest rated teams in the state, and they were one of the lowest. There was still an intense hatred for them, because they had beaten us five or six years in a row before we demolished them 48-14 the previous year.
So this time around, our team had gotten much better, and their team lost a lot of their seniors, so we came into this game expecting a HUGE blowout. One of the players on our team blurted out "we could score 100 points on this team," and we all exploded with laughter, but deep down inside, that's exactly what we wanted to do.
Game day comes, and on the OPENING KICKOFF, we score a safety. The next kickoff, we returned for a touchdown. However, immediately we realized that 100 points was not going to happen. Why? Because the other team's coach decided to run the play clock down on EVERY play, so that the score wouldn't look so bad. At halftime, we were only up 30-0, and we were pissed.
But anyway, what are the chances of the same thing happening with the Jets? Anyone see Manginious deploying some tactics to melt the clock from the first quarter on?
