Felger?
If Marshall held onto that ball they only would have lost by six.

Clearly you are listening to too much talk radio, Rob. 30 minutes a day should be the maximum in order to maintain good mental health, and you can add an extra hour on Mondays to hear the Brady and Bellichick interviews. (BTW- I wait and get those over at the Patriots.com audio section.)I heard it multiple of times today. Toucher and Rich. Obviously, Felger and Mazz. I think John Dennis said it too.
From 2001 to 2003 we heard this crap 40 times.When the game is really on the line, the Jets cannot stop Brady, and the Patriots are the better team. Nothing has changed on that front, and you can analyze a bunch of particular plays/drops all you want, but I don't think the bottom line changes if a couple of small things had gone the Jets way.
Kind of like the Colts thinking they came oh, so close to beating the Patriots. Forget about the ridiculously fluky pick-6, the fact the Patriots didn't throw the ball for a full quarter, or that they Colts got a garbage time TD to make it respectable.
In both cases, it was clear who the better team was.
I think the biggest moment in the game was when they punted after we challenged the spot. If they go for it, who knows how the game goes.
But if they want to specifically target drops than I raise them the multiple dropped int by Ninko. Things could have quickly spiraled out of control.
Its 24 hour sports talk and so they have to talk about something, they are mad that the pats haven't lost yet so they have to say the Pats should have been beaten by the Jets and will get beaten by the 3-3 fish. It was annoying me when the CBS announcers were saying how great Ivory was doing, guy was averaging under 3 yards per carry but yeah he was awesomeAll I have heard is "if Marshall held onto the TD pass, the Jets might have won" today. What a crock.
First, on several drives earlier, Edelman dropped a TD pass and had to settle for three which evens out the dropped TDs.
Second, Marshall clearly committed OPI and got away with it. He pulled Ryan down by the collar.
Third, after that drive, the Pats scored 17 unanswered points. I don't know having a 8 point lead vs. vs 4 point lead the Jets had would have changed that. The Pats would have scored on the next drive no matter what and the Jets' strategy after that would be not that different if they had an one point lead rather than the 3 point deficit with a little over 7 minutes left. They were not going to milk the clock with that much time left with an one point lead facing Tom Brady.
Sure, any one play theoretically could change the entire game. But I would argue that the play was late enough in the game and the strategies by both teams would have been about the same whether the Jets scored that TD or made the field goal they did.
The *****ing post super bowl from the Seahwaks fans and players was pretty funny.From 2001 to 2003 we heard this crap 40 times.
"We are a better team"
"We are more talented"
"If we made this play"
"Bla-bla-bla-bla-bla"
I died down a little in 2004 when teams start to shut the hell up and even in the AFCCG the Squealers and in the SB the Iggles still *****ed.
They did *****. Next time don't have your Qb throw over the middle on the 1 yard line.The *****ing post super bowl from the Seahwaks fans and players was pretty funny.

Dropping passes is also not all that extraordinary, for Brandon Marshall.
That's not to say he's not a terrific receiver. He makes lots of great catches and also has a tendency to drop a relatively easy one now and then, moreso than many of the other top receivers.
Yeah they've mentioned that our receivers dropped a lot but seem to be dismissing the fact that Edelman dropped an equally catchable and important TD pass that I believe would have put us up 20-10, this changing the complexion of the game itself.Listen to sports talk radio.
