It is worth remembering that they were pretty good last week at Miami :
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/scores105/105352/NFL144712.htm
Bollinger : 28-42-327, 2 TD, 0 INT
C. Houston : 15-84-5.6.
Jets gained 388 yards to Miami's 297.
Compared to last night.
Bollinger : 11-19-100, 1 TD, 1 INT
C Houston : 5-14-2.8.
Patriots gained 321 yards to NYJ's 171.
We all know the Patriots could have spanked them a lot worse but even taking the numbers for what they are, it is important to remember that while we have been playing mostly (excluding TB) bad teams recently, those same bad teams tend to do a lot better against other teams. While Miami isn't great, they don't suck either so NYJ outgaining them shows that they played competitively last week.
