Here we go:
- First and foremost, I give the Jets a lot of credit for playing tough and hard against the Pats. For as bad as they have been this year, they have never quit on Rex.
- This game was ugly from start to finish. The Pats beat themselves a lot of this game. They need to clean it up. I will chock it up to all the starters out.
- Speaking of that, they absolutely need to get Dan Connolly back. Since he got hurt, the offensive line has really struggled.
- I don't know why McDaniels didn't use Vereen more in this game. He is a Jets' killer. They cannot stop him in the run or the pass. Should have started the game with him. My only guess is they are managing his snaps because of his ankle injury.
- I know the Pats like to play contain rush against a mobile QB, but not all mobile QBs are the same. I would have sent more pressure on Smith especially when Mangold went down. He is far more mistake prone than say Luck or Rodgers.
- I think we have seen that Amendola is invisible on offense more because he is redundant with Edelman rather than his play. He isn't as good as Edelman, but if Edelman was out he could pick up the slack.
- I don't have a lot of good to say about today's game, but I chock it up to a division foe who knows how to play you with 5 or so starters out.
- I do give the Pats defense credit because is yet another game (since Indy) that the Pats have not given up a TD in the second half. If that trend continues into the playoffs, this will be a tough team to beat no matter if they play the AFCCG in New England or Denver (assuming they get that far).
- Congrats on getting the bye. And go Bengals. Let's hope next Sunday's game is irrelevant.
