Re: Jets vs Patriots game will be won/lost in the 1st quarter. Plus more '45-3' analy
The mistakes that the Jet's fan poster highlighted absolutely aided the Patriots in turning that game into a rout. When Rex challenged that play, I thought we already had them on their heels. But I still think the Patriots win that game by at least 1 TD even if you take away the boneheaded coaching moves the Jets made.
What is the Jet's most effective asset? the running game
The Pats will need to neutralize that and make the Jets 1-dimesional.
If the Jets play mistake-free (not likely), run well (O-line wins their matchups) this could be a very close contest. I think Sanchez suc%s, but he has shown the ability to pull games out of his arse late. So, the Pats do need to be aggresive and attack the Jet defense from the get-go, try to get up by more than 1 score and pressure Sancheez. I will be nervous if we start out in all conservative feeling them out mode. I would like to see a few carefully selected safety blitzes or overloads to keep Snachez from finding any rhythm whatsoever.
The crowd needs to be a factor and help cause mistakes. So if you are goin, stay on your feet (even in the red seats!), you will be warmer too
Brady will be able to take whatever the defense gives him, so he should be fine especially if he has a full magazine of BJGE, Danny, Wes, Deion, Aaron, Gronk, Tate, Crump to work with.
