A couple of things I might have added if I could have stayed awake last night.
1. Has anyone checked the suicide watch list for Ray Ray. After watching the Jets lose a game they definitely SHOULD have won, and then to watch the Pats WIN a game they were definitely supposed to lose, might have just sent him over the edge. Ray Ray, let us know you're all right. It would be a much less funny world without you.
2. What's up with kickers these days. What is making them so much better. Gostkowski kicked 2 FG's that would have been good from 60 yds. I saw replays where other kickers were doing the same. It's gotten to the point where a 55 yd FG is something you EXPECT the kicker to make. I also read at PFT where Adam V has a much better success percentage kicking 50+ FG's since he turned 40, than he did in his 20's and 30's
I would find it interesting if a reporter looked into this phenomenon, because something must have changed in how kickers are preparing very recently. I don't think its just they have "stronger legs". I think its something more and I'd like to find out what it is. Reporters "do your job".
3. I think the Texans are the real deal and will present a very big challenge on that short week, especially with a short week, because on a short week, coaching and preparation become less of a factor, and those 2 things are usually big advantages for us. The Texans have a LOT of talent on both sides of the ball, and I think BOB is a better HC than the ones we usually faced when we played them.
Granted being at home help, especially on a short week, but as we saw last night, it certainly isn't a given you will win at home. If we are going to lose a game in this 4 game run, THAT's the one I'd pick.
4. I wouldn't be surprise to see JG put up a stinker in one of these 4 games. QB progression unfortunately isn't a straight line thing. It's more like 2 steps forward, one step back, and so on. So if we are going to go 4-0 in this stretch, there is going to be a game that we win DESPITE the QB rather than because of him.
5. One of the few disappointments I could think of after such an impressive win was the lack of TO's we forced in this game. After being near the top of the league in TO's last season, and having a ton of them in preseason, we came up empty in a game you would have expected to need a few if we were gong to com up with a win. I hope that turns around over the next 3 games because like I said in the previous comment there WILL come a time where TO's will be critical.
6. BB might have already moved on to Miami, but I'm not going to stop wallowing in the win until this weekend.
