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

[MrBigglesWorth]

I don’t think Mac has that gotta have it guy. The Edelman. Maybe Douglas gets there, but he’s clearly not there yet.

They certainly didn't practice. Sat out most of the preseason games

If the Bolded part is true, the Italicized part is not.

The overall play is not fine. We scored 13 points on offense today. Thats not "fine" by any stretch of the imagination.

I’m not saying 13 is fine, but it’s clear that coaching wanted to play it very safe against a tough defense. I’m not saying it’s the right call, but they did that last time against the Jets too. I think the respect for the Jets D is real.

If Mac needs HOF players to win, even beat mediocre teams he probably isn’t the guy

Brother A statement game isn’t coming from this team in September hopeFully sometime in oct we get one

Maybe November

Jets are complaining that Corky either grabbed or punched a NY DB in the crotch.

It could also be the sometimes torrential rain they played in.

I saw what they were doing. Weren’t really using the clock right but they were assuming the Jets went going to do **** on offense. It almost cost them

The Jests do have a good defense... The only reason we won that game is because they are inept with Zach Milfs'son under center... What are we going to do next week when we face dallas, who was embarassed by the cardinals today? Got to make plays if we want to win...

He needs a WR1 and he needs a healthy line. Hopefully the line gets better. The WR thing I don’t see getting better this season unless the rookies improve quickly.

Right, but no one assumes it’ll be the same game plan. I expect we’ll see more of the plan we had vs. the Dolphins . Will it work? Who knows. It’s a game plan offense.

They are going to hit the wall. Scoring 70 was a dumb move, and now they're in the crosshairs of every team going from this point on.

Where's the "they're runnin' up the score!" folks from about 10 years ago, I wonder?

It’s not the Patriots, so they don’t care.

I’m going to the Gang Green message board and happily wallow in their misery.

Dolphins are looking serious. The only undefeated team in the AFC already after 3 weeks.
Scoring at a historic pace.
There's only going to be three 3-0 teams after Mon. Fins, 49ers & Eagles or Bucs
We've played 2 of them. Lets see how we do next week.

I'm starting to think back to the Steelers/Browns from last week. Division game and both offenses looked like trash. Then this week Browns put up over 30. Hoping we see a similar turn around, especially with the Cowboys reverting to being the Cowboys this week.

 

[Pape]

last year, thru three games, we scored 50 points ... this year, thru three games, we have scored 50 points on offense...

 

[Ross12]

It’s not the Patriots, so they don’t care.

They actually do care, but they’re celebrating it because it’s Mike McDaniel. I was watching a postgame show earlier and they said he should be credited for “taking his foot off the gas” when they could’ve gone for the all-time NFL single game scoring record.

So apparently scoring that many points when you’re nice to the media is actually something worth celebrating, but if you’re mean to the media then it should be condemned.

 

[fightingirish595]

Good win. Not concerned with the score or the stats or that we almost lost.

Bad weather against a good defense.

Didn’t need to get too crazy with it.

People will say we would’ve lost if they had rodgers but that probably would’ve adjusted our strategy on offense as well

Jets are complaining that Corky either grabbed or punched a NY DB in the crotch.

Was that before, or after, they cheap-shotted him multiple times after the whistle in the 4th Q?

 

[Jim Beankie]

Sad that the last really good start that led to a win by a NE QB was Zappe's game against the Browns.

*Corky's win vs MIA was a good but not really good win imho.

It was the same play where Moseley gave Mac cheap shots and brought him to the ground after the whistle blew.
