The Jets always play the Patriots to a tight game. It just seems like in the last few years, Brady has made a play late to beat us. I expect to win this week. Before the injury, I thought we would take one out of 2 from them, we home, we should win. There, I said it!!

I don’t know if Sutton needs to be fired but someone needs to re-think the “prevent” defense strategy especially against Pennington. As the 4th quarter went on the Jets D went more and more to a prevent D. Sure they came out with the win but as others noted this will not work against more talented and experienced teams. It makes one wonder the basic thinking on strategy. Why would you worry about Pennington making any long throws? Why not send massive blitz packages? Or at least keep the secondary up except for a safety or two. Oh and I am tired of the blown coverages by Eric Smith. We have heard a lot of talk of his potential but the on field results don’t show it. Let’s give Elam another shot or put Barrett or someone else back there. I don’t like to make predictions, but if the Jets can keep the Pats running game in check and Favre doesn’t throw 5 interceptions then Jets have a great chance of winning against the Brady-less Pats.

The Jets should not take this next game against NE lightly just because Brady wil not be there. One player does not make a team, they still have a good defense, and they can still run the ball. They will alter their schemes to suit Cassell’s strenghts, and will still be a dangerous team, maybe more so now that they have to circle the wagons.

Fire Sutton. Same old lame duck defense in the 4th and along with conservative offense it almost cost us a game we dominated. The Pats and the Bills will not let that slide.

I expect the Jets to win and here’s why.

A young QBs best friend is a running game. The Jets D did a good job of stopping the run. They should do the same against the Pats.

They will put the game on Cassell’s arm and inexperience to try win. I think our secondary has improved with Lowery enough to give us the edge, along with Pace to put pressure on the QB.

I think our offense will be able to run against NE and BF will give us enough fireworks to put the Pats away solidly.

I’m a predicting 24 – 13 Jets win.

corey’s post, brandon :)

I wish the Jets could have faced him, straight up next week, especially with this renewed pass rush … all the same, I’m no fool and if the this is the Jets opportunity to move past the Patriots (still a tough task with that defense) and fight off the Bills, then I am all for it.

jets were installed as 2.5 point favorites over the pats.

in answer to bassett, yes – the jets SHOULD win this game, but i don’t expect it. the logic center my brain says to expect it – the memory center says don’t.

Last time I checked, Brady didn’t play defense. Favre will be tested severely.

I expect a close game and one in which the Jets must blitz even more than they usually do against the Pats. I see the Jets are -3 and I’m not sure why, even with Brady being highly doubtful if not out for the season.

I’d put it at Patriots -3. Really curious to see how they actually line it.
