Patriots Pregame Thread Pregame discussion: week 17, @ Jete

[Actual Pats Fan]

SOS is actually a recorded stat on BSPN NFL standings.

Pats only team with SOS below .400

They'll probably put an asterisk on it if we go all the way

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Wouldn’t it be something if that 4th quarter unlocked a whole new level of Drake ‘Drake Maye’ Maye. He was completely unstoppable. Same with Diggs, and Rhamondre looked at least somewhat like the 22 rham.

Just hope we can get some kind of burst in run d. Milton Williams is eligible to return i think.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Milton Williams IS eligible. The question is...is he game ready?

I would let him practice but not play him this week.

Brady starting at QB for JETE

Brady Cook will start for the Jets in Week 17

The Patriots will be facing Brady Cook as they try to nail down an AFC East title in Week 17.

In three games, the guy has 1 TD and 6 INTs. BTW, that is six more INTs than the Jets defense have this year.

We have alot of hurt players. Spread doesn't matter. Pats are broken..I guess we find out Wednesday when Vrabel gives us the soldier count...

Another tough place to play. 2nd road game in a row after an emotional comeback victory. Who's left on the roster that isn't hurt. No gimees in the NFL...

You are so right. Jets can still run the ball and regardless what people think, they have pride and would like nothing better than to be a spoiler. Take nothing for granted. If the team comes out flat and puts all the things they have worked for it would be terrible. I want to smack them in the mouth immediately.

 

[neckroll#14]

who would figure that when you beat a dozen teams going 12-3 that your opponent's winning percentage would go down?

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Indeed, but you do not want to play down to your competition.

I remember when the young Edmonton Oilers dominated the regular season in record-setting fashion in 1981-82, and a writer likened it to you eating an entire bag of marshmallows. They got bounced by the Kings in the first round.

Or the 22-23 Bruins setting a record (team) for most points and getting bounced by Florida in 7 games in round 1. Granted they ended up winning the cup but coasting can be dangerous .

Take SOS and multiply by games lost to injury

 

[Zuma]

Jets are a bad team tanking. I can't imagine a better situation for us.

 

[Tunescribe]

The one factor possibly making this game a pain in the ass vs. walkover is how many Pats players are sidelined with injuries. I don't expect it to be competitive, otherwise.

 

[uknepatsfan]

The Jete are hopeless. But the biggest fear in this game is an injury to Drake. That would end the season right there.

 

[Ross12]

If we're wishing things into existence, can I wish Tua to the Jets to become a thing?

You know what, that actually does feel like a very Jetsy thing to happen, doesn’t it? Especially with no really good QBs in the draft next year. They’ll be sitting there with a couple 1st rounders, potentially even 1st overall, and no QB to draft - so they’ll turn to Tua on the free agent market, who will promptly retire in camp.

 

[Pape]

Currently we are a 13.5 point favorite. Let the "ITS A TRAP GAME" posts start coming in.

 

[Uptown]

13-3

The reports are they want a high profile reclamation project. Kyler Murray is the name being thrown around. Maybe Mac Jones. But I could totally see Tua.

But, they were babies. And for the rest of the decade, they were an absolute menace.

Be careful about penalties on both sides which - at the time - didn’t trigger a 5v5 (they played four apiece). Those Oilers teams DESTROYED you on 4v4…. HoFers throughout.

It's mind boggling how anyone could be a Jets fan. It's like out here you don't tell anyone you're a Clippers fan.

I lived in Brooklyn for 17 years, they drift to the Giants if they make the playofs
