I was at the game as usual, as I have not missed a Pats game in Giants stadium in 9 years. Like everyone else, I was extrememly happy with the performance, and think the Pats look great.
But I figured I would share some concerns from what i saw at the game.
1) First the Jets are not a good team. They have major line problems on both sides. And several other issues. They will be a 6-10, 7-9 at best team. So you can't really judge the Pats right now, next week is the litmus test.
2) Maroney did not look good, he still was too hesitent before hitting the holes. Pitter pattered his feet too much, and he goes down easy, he does not break tackles. Morris was the better RB by far yesterday, this is not a good development for the Pats. I am having my doubts on the kid.
3) LB coverage. Believe it or not, Chad had a decent day, and all he does is throw underneath. The LBs in coverage were getting beat a lot. Made me have flashbacks of the Indy game.
But besides that, it was a great Sunday afternoon in the swamps of Jersey. Watching Brady to Moss was awesome. My seats were 15 rows from the field on the 20 yard line on vistors side. Randy's TD practically came into my lap I was so close, I can tell you it was amazing to see live. Plus Randy was on the sidelines all day, really working with the other WRs and Brady. He was into it.
If the Pats can get Maroney on track, and shore up their coverages, they will be scary good.
