"Losing this game for the Jets is, quite simply, not an option. They didn't spend $140 million in new talent during a frantic offseason of retooling then add Brett Favre to lose twice to the Matt Cassel-led Patriots."
One Jets offensive player, who spoke under the condition of anonymity because he didn't want to provide bulletin board fodder for the Patriots, talked about being "sick to our stomachs" about the Jets' 19-10 loss in Week 2 at the Meadowlands. He felt the Patriots were vulnerable - particularly on defense. Not to mention it was the first game with Matt Cassel at quarterback, after Tom Brady was injured in Week 1 vs. the Chiefs.
The player spoke matter-of-factly about how "slow" and "old" a number of the New England defenders are and how he believes the Jets should be able to put up "a lot of points" on them tonight.
The Week 2 loss was maddening to the Jets. They thought that was their chance to finally beat their division rival. Cassel was starting his first NFL game. Yet the result was the same - a teasingly close game in which the Patriots simply made fewer mistakes and won. Again.
Gee, imagine what the defense could do if it wasn't old and slow.Another bugaboo in this series of futility for the Jets is how poorly their offense has fared against the New England defense. The Patriots have held the Jets to 17 points or fewer in 11 of the last 12 games between the teams.
Seems like the Jets are putting a whole lot of pressure on themselves. I can foresee that leading to mistakes such as dumb penalties, and playing too tight. The more I read the quotes from the Jets players, the better I feel about the Patriot's chances. The Pats seem to really be in their head, and I'm not sure the Jets will react well the first time something in this game doesn't go their way.Losing this game for the New York Jets is, quite simply, not an option.

iam surprised WEEI and PFT and all havent mentioned this juicy talk
Ironic that the Jets player spoke only under the condition of anonymity because he didn't want to provide bulletin board material, then spoke - and provided bulletin board material. All the anonymity did was convey a lack of confidence.
