I don't know if we realize how important the time between the Bucs game and Jets game is.
Patriots get the longest time off they will have between now and their bye week and get to face a horrible Jets team. It is a great time to take stock. Coach up things and focus on installing and working on communication. It helps especially with how bad the Jets are.
Yes the Jets are 3-2 but they are clearly a fraud 3-2 team. They beat the equally bad Jags and Browns (Yes the Jags are 3-2 but that is another fraud 3-2 team IMO). The only QB who is even above average the Jet's faced was Carr and he blew their doors off. The rest include some of the worst QBs in the NFL. In fact the 3 wins they have are against the 3 worse statistical QBs in the NFL right now for starters. This team could be and under normal circumstances would be 1-4 right now. The point is even with a winning record it is okay to say the Jets suck and are one of the worst NFL teams. Water just has yet to seek its level on them.
This gives the Pats a lot of breathing room. Thursday to Sunday. Then what should be a routine win over a bad team. Then Sunday night vs the dangerous Falcons and the start of the tough stretch of games.
This is a key time for the team. It made some positive strides in the Bucs game and now it gets 10 days off to prepare for the lowly Jets. Then the really tough games start. If the Pats are to show the improvement we hope this is the time I would expect to see a lot and then hopefully more post-bye week.
