Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

1.) Nothing cures an ailing defense like the Jets' offense. Seven three and outs. Only 255 net yards allowed. Only allowed a 27% conversion rate on third downs. Without that 88 kick return, the Pats probably would have held the Jets to 14.
2.) Rex Ryan promised the return of the Ground and Pound and we got it today - from the Pats. Awesome balance by the offense today.
3.) After a couple of so-so games, BJGE really stepped up today and ran it down the Jets' throats especially on that last drive where the Jets knew the Pats were trying to run down the clock and settle for three points. They knew BJGE was coming and they couldn't stop him.
4.) The Jets are in trouble. They are not particularly good in any phase of the game. They showed flashes of dominance on defense, but the Pats could pretty much do what they want and mostly beat themselves on drives with penalties or overthrown passes by Brady to open receivers.
5.) On that note, my one complait with Bill O'Brien today is his insistance of throwing the deep ball on third and anything longer than six. The Pats need a first down, not a TD pass.
6.) Almost all of the sacks on Brady were blown assignments. The o-line and TEs need to watch the game film for the next game because they got burnt on over loaded blitzes.
7.) Even with that dropped pass for INT (which he totally burnt Cromartie BTW) I was impressed with Hernandez on his first game back. Still a way from 100%, but still was a big target in key spots.
8.) After getting beat the first few week, McCourty is starting to return to his last year form (thanks to the zone). He was quiet in the stats column, but I don't think there was a pass in his direction completed today.
9.) Kudos to the safeties for taking Keller out of the game. It was obvious that was a big key to winning this game and he was nearly invisible (1 catch, 7 yards).

Re: Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

Bodden made a great play on Keller early but taking him out of the game was one of the huge stories of the day.

Yeah, I forgot to give Bodden credit. He was on him alot too.

Re: Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

I think Rex should kiss some of these b/c it is the closest he will ever get to a SB Ring for many many years:) (he won't kiss BB's rings) [prolly b/c SB rings r not toe rings :)

Rex refuses to Kiss BB's rings here is some food for thought :)

Truly nice work :cool:

Re: Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

I don't remember seeing O'Brien make any throws. Those are on Brady and he had guys open behind the D on more than one occasion, he just didn't convert.

Re: Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

I don't think they should rush to get Hernandez back if that is what they are doing. He clearly isn't 100%.

Defense played well.

I am getting sick of these dropped ball interceptions.

Law Firm is better than Ridley as the feature back.

Re: Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

The Ref got in the way of Welker on the bomb, but I think Revis would have caught him anyway. Id say Welker had Revis running all over the island.

Re: Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

Just imagine if Tom connected on either one of those long balls to start the game? Both times, the receiver had a step, but the ball was just a tiny bit overthrown.

If those, or just one of them connects this game is a blowout from the start.

Re: Game Thoughts: Jets Edition
 

35 rushes
33 pass attempts

I love it. Alot of us that were begging to run more against that Jets defense finally got what we wanted.
Admirable effort from the D.
Ghost did his thing 3/3.
I just hope Hernandez didn't suffer a setback like when Mayo came back too soon from an MCL injury.
Bring on the Cowboys!
