that's a trend alright

Until it isn't.

Useless Hollister at it again.

I mean, he’s still providing some ST value (or he was), but I don’t think anyone would be terribly shocked to see a different option next year.

That's exactly what I have been doing down here in Georgia.

The only set back is if you're face timing your son during the game you'll realize that you're a minute or so behind the live broadcast.

Other than that it's great.

Where in GA?

This game is not going to be a walk in the park.

Darnold is a keeper who has his good and bad moments, but overall I would vote that the Jets have found a QB.

Robby Anderson is a good WR. TE Chris Herndon can make some plays too.

Yep. Also, Elijah McGuire can ball too.

Agreed. Got to watch him last weekend and I was impressed by his composure. He seems to have the physical skills. If the JETE coaching doesn't ruin him he'll be good.

Division games always are. The teams see each other twice a year, and it's hard NOT to know the trends and tendencies of the opponent.

Having said that, I don't expect it to be as close a game as the JETE fans (or players) expect it will be. Might even be scoreless at the end of the 1st quarter, but in the 2nd half, New England should start to pull away.

The JETEs will end their season in typical fashion.......

What's with that anyway? One of our sons went to school in Atlanta and it seemed like half the streets were named Peachtree.

It's often said that a lot of the best minds in Georgia have similar ideas. This is generally attributed to the fact that a lot of people in Georgia are very closely related to one another.

The Pats win these games by double digits.

You cant beat the averages.

IIRC, the Jete got two short-field TDs off Packers giveaways.

Darnold appears to have improved in the three weeks he's been back. His completion percentage is certainly better and more consistent than it was earlier in the season, and he's thrown only the one pick versus 6 TDs (14 picks to 11 TDs in his previous 9 games). It's not as if stopping the Jete ground game in order to force Darnold to pass will be the best strategy.

The Jete haven't been running the ball all that well recently, anyway - averaging 70 yds/gm relying on McGuire and Cannon, with both Powell and Crowell on IR now. OTOH, McGuire and Cannon have combined for four rushing TDs in the RZ over the past three games.

The Jete offense has converted 47% of the 3rd/4th down situations, and have scored TDs on 9 of 12 RZ trips (5 passes, 4 rushes). They've had 10 long scoring drives over the past three games, and have also gotten short fields off returns, about once per game.

Could be a long and anxious day for Pats fans if the defense doesn't step up with their A-game.

Yeah. These guys are not to be taken lightly. These last games of the season are auditions for lots of guys looking for another chance or getting that extra stats bump to secure a bonus. I doubt the Patriots are unprepared for the Jets. A bye is on the line.

The Jets are 26th in passing yards allowed in 2018, even worse for their last three games. After the Patriots tuned up the running game last week, I imagine they'll come out trying to throw the ball and get the offensive line organized for the passing game. Gronk had a huge game against the Jets a few weeks back, so this could be another big day for him. James White is due for a 10-catch game as he took a back seat to Michel and Burkhead in last week's rush-a-thon. Brady needs a game where his timing is on and productive.

The Jets are also 26th in rushing yards allowed, so they are consistent in their defensive suckage. Who knows? The Pats gashed the best run defense in the AFC last week, so why not keep going? The Jets are really outmatched in this one, but it is the Patriots and that always brings out the best in the Green Beans.
