I don't think the OP is dumping on the Pats; he's just saying it's mystifying to have such a collection of great talent on the field and in the staff, and to have it produce these results.
I desperately wanted the Patriots to win and I'm happy they did, but it's hard to feel great about the win because it came against the Jets, of the 18th ranked Defense in and the 29th! ranked Offense in the NFL.
With AZ and Seattle, there was always the reasoning that this is an elite defense we're up against, but THIS game should have been blowout for the Pats. And instead the Jets made mistake after mistake and still very nearly beat us.
Like I say, I love the Patriots but I have to agree with the OP--I don't remember ever feeling this deflated about a game that put us in sole possession of first place in the division.
