ESPN.Com simulations

[dryheat44]

I hardly ever go over to ESPN.Com, but I was bored. Apparently they have a new simulation feature. Don't worry about the Pats, they'll be OK:

Pats unfazed by Branch trade
The loss of WR Deion Branch to a trade didn't faze the Pats, who struggled in the air last week but seemed to piece their passing attack together well against the Jets. Tom Brady threw for 295 yards and hit Dan Graham and Reche Caldwell with touchdown passes to lead the New England offensive effort as the Patriots moved to a 14-3 lead at halftime. New England tacked on another touchdown in the third quarter as cornerback Ellis Hobbs scooped up a Kevan Barlow fumble and returned it 56 yards for a score.

New York got a solid afternoon from Chad Pennington, who didn't make many mistakes, but he was unable to find much space downfield for his throws either. New England's defense bottled up the Jets' running attack, allowing only 2.9 yards per carry, and Pennington's TD throw to Laveranues Coles from 20 yards out late in the third quarter wasn't nearly enough to boost the team to a win.

Just noticed that both Gabriel and Jackson are playing, and that Gostkowski missed three longish field goals. That can't be good for the kid's confidence.

haha. Well, I'll just offer that if the Jets hold both Dillon and Maroney combined under 100 yards I'll be more than shocked.
