Ugly game. Field conditions didn't look great to start with and seemed to get a lot worse after the rain started.
Mangold will be fined.
Ferguson and Colon are looking at fines and suspensions.
Dennard needs to do his talking on the field, not from the sidelines after the plays. He could have been tossed for entering the field of play.
The Pats really need to work on their running game and their play-action pass. Again, McDaniels gave up on it too early and didn't allow it to really gain any momentum. Furthermore, he seemed to telegraph the plays... The Jets sure knew when every running play was coming by the 2nd half.
The rooks played a bit better, but not much.
Dobson did ok for his first game. Too many drops, but again, it's his first game.
Thompkins showed a sliver of improvement, but still had too many drops. He DID lay out nicely for that one in the endzone, but still plenty of room for improvement.
Both need to be pulled aside by Brady, Edelman or Amendola and told to CTS with celebrating catches. They need to be more consistent before they do that crap.
Hoomanawanui put in another horrible game, but he's here for the year after re-doing his contract. . Develin had one good lead block and that was it. Otherwise he was slow to the point of attack and got overpowered.
Allen outkicked his coverage 3 times tonight. Luckily, all 3 led to touchbacks. He had 11 punts in total, with 4 going inside the 20. He'd have had a 5th, but Marquice Cole screwed the pooch and touched it at the Jets 23.
I'm still waiting to see something from Leon Washington to make me believe he's better than George Winn.
The defense really stepped up. 4 Sacks. 3 Interceptions. Plenty of QB pressures. On a night when we were without some significant offensive weapons. Gotta hope they will continue to improve.
I'm at a complete loss as to what is and isn't pass interference anymore. Thought for sure that Kyle Wilson would be flagged for it when he interferred with Edelman, slowing him down and preventing him from getting to the deep pass. Dennard got away with one when he pulled on Stephen Hill's jersey once. Wells had 2 or 3 plays that have been DPI in the past and nothing was called.
