PostGame Thread POST GAME THREAD: Week 3 - Patriots Beat the Jets 15-10

[Jim Beankie]

Don't wanna jinx it, but easily DROY.

I agree with this. They definitely aren’t out of it with this defense. They are just a playmaker away from getting a jump start.

Denver lost today and are now 0-3 and may become sellers. Really hoping Pats could swing a trade for Jeudy to get Mac one of the Alabama connections on board.

I think he’s hurt, but I agree, someone could shake free by then.

Once we are all done waving our pom poms around, we might reflect on the fact we just barely beat the Jets, the Zack Wilson-led Jets.

Same team that beat 2-1 Buffalo, yes?

 

[turkeyneck]

We've got more in Pharoah Brown than I was expecting.

 

[DaBruinz]

Losing Godchaux and Ekuale was big and helped the Jets on that one drive.

Strange getting hurt again didn't help.

The number of DPI calls that the Jets got away with was ridiculous.

The Run game did well against a good run defense.

I was surprised at the conservative play-calling by B'OB in the 2nd half.

I'm hoping the Pats strategy of draw, draw and incomplete deep down the sidelines was to not show Dallas anything.

JuJu needs to sit. Bring in Boutte or Reagor... especially in DAL with the fast track.
This IS the problem with BB the GM - if he was coaching this group and a different GM had brought JuJu in, BB would have put him on IR already. Play the guys that are "best for the football team"!!

 

[denverpatsfan]

Dallas won’t have Diggs, but they still have Parsons..

Best defensive player since LT

 

[Ghost of Ben Dreith]

They beat the fn Jete....that is so much better to type than "they lost to the fn Jete".

It's a win against a hated (rightfully so) and pathetic team with disgustingly abhorrent fans...to me...it is enough....for now.

 

[upstater1]

It was a nasty day with slick balls, etc... But, typical 1970's strategy from BB. It's only going to work vs. the Jets with the worst QB in the NFL.
But it almost didn't. So many years now of not trusting the offense and playing not to lose. I'm so sick of it.

Patriots fans can't have it both ways though. A lot of people were criticizing the plays on 3rd and short, both incomplete, going downfield for the killshot.

 

[lancerman]

People do need to temper expectations and realize the last 3 weeks we did in fact play the former NFC Champions, the best offense in the NFL that just dropped 70, and one of the best defenses in the NFL.

 

[Kdo5]

On a positive note our defense looks quite good after seeing the score of that Dolphins game. Wow

 

[oldrover]

Only Miami remains unbeaten in the Conference. Patriots far from out of the mix if they can surprise everyone and get a win next week in Dallas.

Who is waving pom poms? That team is a division rival and they play tough against us regardless of each team's win-loss record.

 

[Toofy]

Wilson is truly terrible but in the second half Mac did not look that much better

Mac made all throws. His receivers dropped them or there was defensive pass interference which was not called.

Henry dropped one, juju 2 , rham 2 .

 

[DaBruinz]

I love how you ignore the other 2 games in order to pretend this team doesn't have a problem scoring the ball. How about you get real. I never expect this offense to do anything. I'm just speaking about the reality of the situation.

The team has a problem getting into the RED ZONE. Once they get there, they are EXCELLENT.

 

[50-yard-line]

That sucked! We won.

(Did I do that right?)

The Jets are a talented team with a crappy QB (who beat Buffalo week 1).

Miami unloaded on Peyton's Bronco's today after barely holding on against the Pats.

Most teams in the league would be 0-2 opening with the Eagles and the Dolphins.

I'll take the win. I didn't like the playcalling in the late 3rd and 4th...a play-action on 1st down should have worked well. But whatever. They won, on the road, in miserable weather.

Mac Jones played really well today. Made some great throws. Zeke was a great pick-up.
Barmore and White were great today, as was Bentley. Team should get better with the OL straightening out.

I want to see this D with all the corners back, although I thought Wade and Bryant played well today - that will help them later in the year.

 

[Salsalife]

Almost lost. Do the Pat's play to win anymore.

 

[Lambeau12]

Congratulations on your win today!

Jeudy has been pretty mid these past two seasons. I don't think he's bad, but he's not an answer to our woes.
