What I'm seeing is cloudy with occasional light showers late in the afternoon
Hopefully due to Patcheat fans tears when Tommi is carted off, his season and maybe his career ended
May I ask you kindly to not talk about injuring Brady. We all hate him, no one more than me but reading that here in every other post that has to do with them leaves a bad taste in my mouth. We're better than that!
I'm okay with cheating scumbags though!
--------
The weather should be great for this Sunday. Good enough to expect a full house and a very loud crowd. I cannot wait to hear this bunch on tv. Biggest game of Marshall, Fitz, Bowles careers.

You're right
We don't need to see the lifelong cheating piece of garbage injured
After all, the POS will be 39+ when the 2016 season begins and you can count ALL the NFL QBs who excelled at that age on less than JayPeepee's hand
Even Belichick can't cheat THAT clock even with the HGH, other masked PEDs and the Tommi's boyfriend, the "body coach" they include on their payroll

I couldnt find age 39 but only TWO quarterbacks in NFL history started nearly a full season after 40 and had good numbers and a winning record
1. Brett Favre with the Vikings
2. Warren Moon

It's at home, which negates a lot of the Patriots home field "advantage."
With all the stuff they have been caught doing in that stadium, how much do you guys think they have been doing that hasn't been caught?

Meh. I'd rather just beat em. Wishing injury on people seems to have a way of biting a team in the ass
Ten things to know about the New England Patriots (12-2)
Ten things to know about the New England Patriots (12-2)
1. Another year, another 12 wins. The Patriots reached the dozen mark for the sixth consecutive year, the second-longest streak since the 1970 merger. Love them or hate them, you have to respect their success. The defending Super Bowl champions already have clinched a first-round bye, but they need another win to lock up the No. 1 seed. That will be their motivation to beat the Jets -- that, and their utter disdain for them.
2. Injuries will be a major theme throughout the week, as the Patriots lost two key players last week to knee injuries -- wide receiver Danny Amendola and linebacker Dont'a Hightower. No doubt, the always-transparent Bill Belichick will provide updates. They're also banged up at running back. They plucked the once-great Steven Jackson, 32, off the scrap heap to replace power back LeGarrette Blount, who joined Dion Lewis on injured reserve. No matter; Tom Brady can throw it every down if he has to. In the first meeting against the Jets, he passed on 57 of 66 plays.
3. Brady is one of the leading candidates for league MVP. So what else is new? He leads the NFL in passing yards (4,405) and touchdown passes (35), and he's fourth in passer rating (103.8). He was at his best in the fourth quarter of the Week 7 victory over the Jets -- 14-for-17, 150 yards and two touchdowns. Jets linebacker Calvin Pace refers to Brady as the "G.O.A.T."
4. Tight end Rob Gronkowski returned to an every-down role in New England's Week 15 victory over the Tennessee Titans, which means he's over his knee injury -- bad news for the Jets. In the previous meeting, he ravaged them for 11 catches, 108 yards and a touchdown; you might recall the Jets forgetting to cover him on the winning score. One negative on Gronk: He has committed a team-high 10 penalties (plus two declined), including six offensive pass-interference calls.
5. Without the injured Julian Edelman, the Patriots have a pedestrian receiving corps, particularly if Amendola is out, too. The main WR targets in Week 15 were Keshawn Martin and Brandon LaFell, who has five drops in only 69 targets. The recently acquired Leonard Hankerson was pressed into action. New England keep signing guys off the street and plugging them in. In fact, the Patriots have used 70 players on their roster, a league high.
6. Remember in the offseason, when people were ripping Belichick for letting his two starting corners, Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner, walk out the door? Belichick is no dummy; he knew what he was doing. As great as Revis is, the Patriots are managing without him. With Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler and Logan Ryan at corner, they're ranked eighth in pass defense, five spots higher than the Jets, who have Revis.
7. The Patriots have developed a nice, three-man rotation at defensive end, with Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich and Jabaal Sheard. Jones recorded two sacks last week, giving him a career-high 12.5. You might recall the Jets passed on Jones to pick Quinton Coples in the 2012 first round, which didn't work out too well. The Patriots have recorded a sack in a league-high 26 consecutive games, setting up a terrific matchup against the Jets' offensive line. The Jets have allowed only 20 sacks, second-lowest in the league.
8. What's this, a problem area for the Patriots? Much like the Jets, they've experienced a few hiccups on special teams. Theirs comes in the form of the yips; they've muffed a punt in four straight games.
9. Is there a "kryptonite" that can dismantle the Patriots? Maybe. They've blown two leads of at least 14 points. Only one other team has done that in the past 10 years -- the '09 Patriots.
10. If you're not scoring at home, the Patriots have won eight of the past nine meetings, dating to 2011.

39+ in August
Not merely the back 9 for an NFL QB....closer to the 18th fairway
TWO QBs have completed full seasons successfully at 40+
Favre .....Vikings
Moon
Unless his girlfriend and "Body coach" Alejandro has access to the Fountain of Youth Tommi is facing longish odds

I'll be there and do my best brother!!!
But we're not supposed to talk about that:global (23):
Gonna be a dog fight. Though i sense from coach Bowles that he isn't making this game just about THE PATS. It's about the importance of the game. Say we had to play Tampa Bay this week, i feel Coach would have the same mind set in prepping the players mentally.
I just felt over the Rex era that the seasons went through countless lost energy focusing on an opponent, circling that particular team at the beginning of the season. Bowles, IMHO is all about utilizing a "Fear no one" and prepare intelligently vs every opposition.
More of, dont make it more than it actually is. Let THEM match us. Because the other approach of US matching them, hasnt bode well in the years facing the Pats.
Out of everything i liked of this regime, is that we're not mimicking anyone any more. With Herm Edwards, it was the Tampa Two. With Mangini, it was the "PATS way", and with Rex it was all about simulating the Baltimore "D". Bowles has made his impact creating the Jets their own unique identity. Something we havent had here in NY, ever.

This is a very interesting article about the Patriots offensive philosophy and how simple but effective it is over the years.
