Pats Grounded by Jets

What can I say? Rex Ryan, Kerry Rhodes, and the rest of the Jets came to play. They backed up their trash talking and won’t be kissing any rings for the time being.

Final Score: Jets 16 Patriots 9

Yes that’s only 9 points. No touchdowns. No late game heroics. No big plays.

Welker was out injured. Brady was rushed, battered, and bruised. Moss didn’t do much. Galloway didn’t do enough. The running game was not a factor. Belichick was outcoached.

The defense was NOT TO BLAME for this loss. They completely shut down the Jets in the first half only allowing 3 points. However, the offense could muster only 3 field goals.

They only allowed 13 points in the second half, but the offense put up the big goose egg.

The D couldn’t do it all by themselves.

However, the Jets made “adjustments” at the half. Sanchez did not look like a rookie as he led his team down the field for the go ahead touchdown.  He was solid for the remainder of the game putting up 163 yards on 14 completions and the aforementioned touchdown.

The Patriots on the other hand couldn’t get anything going at all. Rex Ryan unleashed the dogs on Brady. Someone was in his face all day. He never got to set and analyze the field as he does so well. Tom’s final stat line was 23 for 47 for 216 yards no td’s and 1 interception.

The Pats go as Brady goes.

Brady sputtered and the Pats stalled.

The Jets soared.

Hats off to the Jets. Their defense looks very Ravenesque and looks like they will be a factor in the AFC East. It’s not going to be a cake walk for the Patriots but rather a dog fight.

The Jets are for real.

And I hate them even more.
