Yes but BB plays %s defense. Let them repeat plays and hope they make a mistake. In 40 mins of TOP the jets didnt do too many stupid things which is what he was hoping.Yeah, it makes sense when you have Seymour, Ty Warren, and Vince pushing the pocket. But we don't have that kind of push anymore it just results in a lot of easy completions. Thankfully they realized that by the 4th quarter and finally started to play aggressive, but it was nuts to see that read and react zone defense for 3 quarters.

Dont know about that. Jets just pressured 3 most of the time. Even then brady did get flushed out a few times and had to make plays. I thought Rex missed a trick by not pressuring more. He was too worried about his secondary. If BB had run this plan vs another QB we wouldve been killing patricia .Here is the only thing i will take away from this game as something that mattered (besides the W)
The offensive line play was pretty good again. Not perfect by any stretch but solid. I think everything else I saw doesn't matter much but this was a perfect excuse game for the OL to look like crap and it didn't.
Jets might have the worst secondary in football. running the ball on them plays right into there hands.
Except when Denver faces weak division foes like Oakland last year and KC the year before. Then they are blowouts.
This division opponent excuse has become tiresome. Good teams blow out poor opponents regardless of whether or not they are within the division - especially at home.
While I agree that Brady had a few blatantly dropped balls, this is quite frankly true of most QBs in most games. For example, possibly a different game if Jace Amaro doesn't drop the world's easiest catch.
Well I guess we can look at it this way...pats blew out the nyj 45-7 in prime time in 2011....what happened in the playoffs that season? so I guess blowouts don't mean much...maybe?
A win is a win.
But help me understand a few things:
- Why did we play essentially a base defense of 2 LBs and 5 DBs (nickel)? We're playing against the worst starting QB in the league, yet we play a base personnel that encourages runs? Seems illogical.
I was speaking of the AFCE. But go ahead and troll about since you know so much about how the NFL works. Like the saying goes, "On Any Given Sunday". Every game poses matchup problems for both sides. The really tiresome posts and comments are the ones on this board that usully follow a Patriots game. If they lose, then the trolls are out in full force calling for Coach's head on a pike. If they win, then no matter the score the trolls will still find something to complain about. Take you, for example.
Coach Belichick once sagely remarked that the only stat that matters is the number of wins you collect. I agree with that completely.
Offensive play calling was a bit weird, but they moved the ball just fine. I think McDaniels and Brady had to pick their spots when it came to running the ball. You might look at the YPC and wonder why they didn't do more, but if they had, who's to say it would have worked?
.
Amendola's TD was equally awesome. He might not be the contributer everyone wants, but he is just as willing as Edelman to take damage for the cause. If Edelman happens to go down for a few games, we might all be very gald Amendola is still around too.
At least NFLN must be happy. This ends the Thursday Night massacres this season.
