Kinda agree with him here.

Meh. The Jets played well. It's always close. We left a couple key guys home. Pats won. On to Buffalo!

nice find, SVN

Doesnt explain the logic of shifting the oline throught the game like we did in weeks 1-4.And Brady says oline had communication issues. Because of one connolly missing ? So if he gets injured again, this team is toast ?

Not meaning to question great minds too deeply, but I can't help but wonder why the up-tempo stuff wasn't used more as well.

To take it one step further, I thought this kind of game would have "Tim Wright" written all over it--particularly due to the lack of receiving options.

Definitely agree. Sometimes they just get too cute

They did. Didn't try and run enough for PA. Jets play us tough but should have been a bigger win and me not needing a xanax at the end.

He has a point, but he exaggerates. If they had a go to backup at guard they'd put him in. they don't. That's why I want to see them get Fleming some snaps there while there's a chance.

Eh, he's a jets fan all butthurt. Negative nancy.

You're almost my new favorite poster.

Anyone who says anything negative is a jets fan. Easy to spot.

I'm so sick of this "prove he's smarter than everybody else" ******** that media folks constantly pin on BB. BB does what he thinks in best for the football team. It's that frickin simple.

Remember when BB threw away a 7th-round pick on a QB who never even played in college, just to look clever? God, the arrogance.

Except for the third quarter against the Fins, the offense has been sputtering for a month (21, 23, 17 points vs. Packers, Chargers, Jets). Whatever they did yesterday did not work. All of the moves on the OL, starting and then benching Kline, remind us of the early games. We can speculate as to the reasons, but the offense and the OL in particular has regressed such that they are a different offense now than they were mid season. The running game has deteriorated and with it the pass protection. Interceptions have become a weekly occurrence. Hopefully it gets all straightened out for the post season, but the trend does not inspire confidence.

Basically our offense hasn't played well anywhere but home.

I believe the Pats went 3-1 in those games and if Gronk had held onto that last pass in the endzone, would have been 4-0.

How would seattle not be able to do what the Jets just did? Their dbs are better. Dl probably not quite as good.

It is simple. The Pats are simply better than the Jets. But if you take 12-15 Pats out of the game, it is much closer in talent. The O-Line had two players out and another hurting. The RBs had a couple missing too, as did the WRs.

I had a wager that the Pats would even lose, and not cover, the first such opinion since the first Dolphin game, when the Pats were dinged up, and had no rotations for the mid-summer Miami Heat. Banged up teams are not the same.

For me to wager against the Pats goes against my grain, but I can see the two actual rosters and expect to see what that implies.

I wonder how many gamblers are *****ing because BB did not even try to score before he resorted to Victory formations. The Pats were first and Goal from the 2 yard line with two minutes to go. BB chose to take a set of Victory kneels.

It could have been 24-16 or even 20-16 very easily.

Then good thing we'll have all home games remaining (assuming we win next week--at home)! And I was going to bring up the Colts game--but I assume you are making more of a general statement.

Scary when the musical chairs OL scheme that proved disastrous early on returns with same results
