It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The game will probably come down to the last possession, and in that case it's hard to see the Pats pulling it off considering how much they've struggled in clutch situations.

A little bit of non belief shall we say?
I know the Pats have dissapointed so far,but this is a home game and I expect a better effort.
Pats should win by 7-10 points...I think it will be close until the 4th quarter begins and then they will take over...somewhat opposite of yesterday's game
the problem is that if wilson cna throw for 300, so can any QB in the league.
this game is by no means decided
3-13 incoming.
Seriously, this secondary is so awful even Sanchez could be a star for a day.
They kept Houston within shouting distance and made Luck look pretty bad.
Yes,they don't have Revis but the defense seems to rally around Cromartie and has improved from 2 weeks ago.
Don't just assume their defense will be shattered by Brady,it may be a very competitive game.
Anything can happen, don't get me wrong, but I think it is a huge overreaction to this loss to assume the injury-ridden jets defense is somehow threatening compared to what we just played against.
If you had asked anyone on this board before this last loss how they felt about the jets game, I think the response would have been quite different compared with how people are reacting now.
This is the classic pendulum effect in team perception after a loss. People invariably take a loss too hard and a win to mean too much.

You are right on this......Our secondary is prone to torching by ANYONE right now....and Sancheese seems to generally have good games against the Pats. I still have a funny feeling that the Pats will beat them pretty soundly as a revenge FCk for the loss they incurred this past sunday......This team SHOULD BE Eating lead and sh$tting nickels by Sunday......I know I'm fired up....I kicked my halloween pumpkin off the porch and in to my neighbor's yard....GO PATS!!!!!
Yup, thanks for the bulletin board material Rex. He's got a right to talk but him and his Jets team always take it that extra mile that goes over the line. Thanks for adding fuel to the fire. The Pats are already angry, they are going to take out their frustrations on the Jets next Sunday in a big way. I predict a massive blowout is brewing.
I don't think it will be a close game at all. The Jets won this past week because Indy's run defense was bad enough to make Shonn Greene look good. He isn't good, and running against the Pats' front will prove that. The best way to beat the Pats is through the air, and the Jets have an even worse passing game than Seattle did (Sanchez threw for 82 yards yesterday. They won by taking the ball out of his hands, just like they've always had to do to experience any success).
So why won't this game go the way the Seattle game went? Because Seattle's defense is actually good. The Jets' isn't. Seattle proved that you can beat the Pats, even if your passing game sucks, if two things happen:
1) Your defense forces multiple turnovers
2) The Pats make a ton of uncharacteristic mistakes
If you want to beat the Pats without both of the above happening, you have to actually be effective at passing the ball.
I don't see either happening this weekend. I see the Pats winning by multiple possessions; this seems like a classic "the Pats score a ton of points, Sanchez gets garbage yards and a garbage TD at the end that make his stat line look respectable even though he sucked" games. After this, a solid half of the posters here will fall all over themselves re-crowning the Patriots as champions of the universe, ignoring the fact that the same major issues that face this team today will be facing them next Monday, and beating a genuinely crappy Jets team doesn't change that.
Its a division game and both teams know each other so equating wilson to sanchez makes no sense. Pats have seen sanchez and the jets have seen brady so there wont be surprises there . The Pats coaching staff should know and figure out what the jets like to throw and where. Just double keller and shut down the running game. If sanchez can consistently beat you with hill and hill then he deserves all the praises he gets. I suspect the first play from scrimmage will be a deep pass attempt with max protection like wilson's play yesterday either by sanchez or tebow.
