Game Thread: NY Jets vs NE Patriots

[Oraelo]

It makes no sense whatsoever - if you kick, you have a chance to lose without touching the ball. If you kick and stop the other team, you still need to score to win. I just don't get how anyone could defend that decision. It was an unforced blunder that cost them the game.

I think it is a dumb ass idea, but can still somewhat see the logic. If you defense is playing good and you think you can hold them to 3, the second team to go is actually at an advantage in a way because they are not worried about field position if they have to punt. There is no punt you would be in a 4 down situation.
Seems like an even worse idea now that I wrote it. NVM. Hoodie is an ass for electing to kick it. If that is what happened and he isn't just trying to cover for one of his guys mistakes.

It's arrogance on Belichick's part. He thought the most we can get was a field goal which would in turn give his team four downs to move down the field and equalize. With Brady, the odds are always in your favor when you're playing with four downs going for a fg. Fitz made him pay.

Bottom line is that we know longer have a pee wee offense. We are legit and can compete with anyone. Fitz is a calm and cool leader and the team feeds off that. Our offense is getting better and better each week

Wow great minds. Lol

All of that is true, but there's one more thing, he overrated his mediocre defense due to a couple of 4th Qtr stops, and forgot that our offense was going thru his defense like a hot knife thru butter for the first 3 Qtrs and we probably should have had 31 Points, at least.

On being asked whether the Pats should have been allowed to change their picks.

"You would like to think that he would, but that's not the rules."

Why would we like to think that he would? Is ESPN an alleged national network? That sounds like something you say for your home fan base's consumption.

That guy was practically begging Gerry Austin to throw the Patriots a life-jacket and tell me they got robbed. That was so unprofessional and so biased, it almost seemed like satire, like something you would find at the Onion.

 

[Green Jets & Ham]

If the Jets screwed that coin toss up, they'd be clowning them into the next decade. It'd be buttfumble on steroids.

But because it Kraft's Patriots, there's simply "concern" over how the rules are drawn up.

Dead on the money.

If the Jets screwed that up and the Patriots ended it on the first possession, you would not be hearing ONE WORD about rules changes, all you would be hearing about is how galactically stupid the Jets organization is and how it never changes, AND YES, the ridicule would equal or eclipse the buttfumable, and it would be relentless.

I think part of the reason the coin toss is getting talked about is because of dumb ass Fouts and Eagle in the booth. They overreacted. They thought the ref forced him to kick off

 

[Bigmoe]

And now their all over how Rex could end our chance
Fuck them, go get em Todd
Go Jets

 

[SackExchange]

They did not make a mistake in calling the coin toss, and Bellichik was pretty convincing about that when he discussed it afterwards. He has also done it in other games, and another coach or 2 has done it as well (according to what I heard on the radio). If a coach is that confident in his defense to stifle the opposing offense for one drive, it makes sense.

What it does display is arrogance on his part, in assuming that there was no way we could march down the field for a td, that at best we would come away with a field goal. An odd position to take, since we had done it only a little earlier in the game.

His time management and failure to play for a score at the end of the first half is more of a mystery...

They made a mistake by electing to kick rather than electing to defend one goal. That is bad coaching. You need to explain to your captains exactly what they need to do if you win the toss.

Exactly, but is not like there was a strong wind or the weather was a factor, so I don't think that was really a concern for Belichick in this instance. I think he just wanted to kick because he was lulled into a false sense of security by some 4th Qtr stops, felt like his defense could 3 & Out us and get his offense terrific field position on the ensuing drive, needing only a FG to beat us. I truly believe that was his only thought process and not which goal to defend. It was 60 degrees with a slight wind, perfect football conditions, nothing that could give you an advantage.

personally, i don't give a rat's ass if it was belichick's call or miscommunication..

we won & they looked liked a horses ass at the OT coin toss..

ESPN and NFLN are sadly divisions of NESN, the former because of its HQ in CT near the heart of Chowdahhead land and the latter because of the massive concentration of former Cheating Scumbags theyve hired as hosts and commentators

Pathetic biss on both of their parts in favor of the Forces of Satan

Watched the game on game pass again and saw something very interesting and very promising about the 39 year old when next season begins Brady

The same thing I've noticed about pretty much ALL the great QBs when they reach a certain age (Namath, Marino, Elway, Montana, Bradshaw, Manning, Staubach, Unitas....all of them)

When they are younger (under 35) and defenders get close to them, they step up, sidestep and move out of the pocket to avoid the hit and still make a throw

When they reach the point of no return, mobility is reduced and they have taken a lifetime of hard hits, they do what Brady did a number of times Sunday....they duck down and fall into a fetal position on the turf even before getting hit by anybody

[Elias]

Was anyone else worried that the Pats would go for two once they scored?
I was scared that BB would considering his odds are higher scoring from the two than in OT.

I've heard that, too.

Those trick plays, the fourth quarter comeback, that late drive...those were just to make it look like the Pats were trying. After all, they couldn't just fold down 17-6, could they? That would be too suspicious. And if they had pulled Brady, it would have been a dead giveaway.
