Official Game Thread: New England Patriots at New York Jets

[BlindsideD'Brick]

I’ve been a Wilson guy through and through, but even I can’t excuse his decision making today. Every INT was bad. I don’t understand the thought process behind any of it. Throw the damn ball out of bounds. Stop trying to force the ball somewhere where nothing exists.

On the flip side, he’s also throwing some incredible passes, too. The athleticism and arm talent is there. He just needs to learn when to take chances downfield. He’s still young. He can learn from this. I’m nowhere near giving up on him. You don’t use the #2 pick on a guy and bail on him 18 games into his career. No matter what angry fans say.

I would rather be good than lucky, but a win is a win. I have a feeling the Bills are going to crush the Jets and show us exactly where we actually are.

They are. Before the Jets even stepped onto the field today, the Bills were going to blow out the Jets.

 

[BlindsideD'Brick]

51 rushing yards today. We got away from what’s worked for us. Yes, no Breece Hall. But Carter and Robinson should’ve been used more.

And the 3rd down defense sucked. How many times did the Patriots convert 3rd and long today? I counted way too many. There are many reasons the Jets lost today.

The Bills are going to blow out 95% of the league.

1. Absolutely disgusted. Had the chance to take a big step. JFM once again takes an awful penalty against a team when EVERYTHING is going to be called. Wilson throws way too often and makes WAY too many mistakes.
2. This team is likely 5-4 at the bye, which is 2 games better than I thought they would be, especially with how brutal the first 9 were.
3. The post-bye schedule is more favorable than what they have done so far.

I’d rather be 3-6 at the bye with a win over belichick. Today was a must win for me to be a believer. We are a better team for once and we got the same ole result.

next week we lose. I’m fine with that. Cheatahs 2 i will not be watching. i swore enough today to fill my swearing for that game…. And I turned it off today after 1 drive each in the 2nd half. No need to watch when you know the result

I’d be excited at 5-5 if it weren’t for losing to that bastard twice. Bad enough the Bills will be beating us twice a year for a while. Can’t have belichick doing it still too

I cannot say I agree. I would rather be 5-4 with a loss to the Pats than 3-6 with a win over them.

 

[cheaterhater]

I would have had some faith in Darnold if he had single handedly taken over a game for us. He never did. So far, the same goes for Zach

at best what I read here it sounds like he could be another Favre. I didn’t like Favre. Yeah he won a Super Bowl, but if he didn’t do so many stupid things, he would have won some more. Too many game ending int’s. His last game as a Packer. His last game as a jet, and his last as a Viking too

Well, you got your wish. But you can call it 5-5 with 2 loss’s to belichick cause that’s what it will be. We need to be able to beat him more than ever now that the Bills are good. Can’t make the playoffs very often finishing 3rd in the division

he made Peyton look like crap for years. Imagine how many super bowl rings Peyton has if belichick didn’t exist. He made Zach look like a high schooler in the 2nd half today. And we have been a second half team so far thriving on second half adjustments. Today showed that belichick still has our number

If the Pats beat the Jets twice but finish last in the division, it will be a far cry from the days when the Pats demanded and expected excellence. When the bar is just beating the Jets, that is no better than when the Jets were awful and our two Super Bowl games were the two against the Pats.

 

[cheaterhater]

I agree. But if they beat us twice, i don’t see them being last in the division

and if Zach doesn’t figure this out soon we will be looking for our next QB again, and the best way to finding him is by losing, while the best way to becoming relevant is by winning. They both work against each other unfortunately

I expected to win today. i haven’t expected to beat them since belichick won his 1st SB nor have I watched the games until today, except the Can’t wait playoff game which I did watch. I will not bother with the next game. Rather read a book

I think it is very much a possibility. The Jets' easier part of the schedule is coming up after the bye. If they end up 5-4, and then go 4-4 after the bye (one more loss to the Bills and Pats, two other losses), the Pats would have to play very well to surpass the Jets.

You’re wrong. It’s going to be a close game. Unless Wilson is allowed to give the game away again.

I don’t really want to argue in favor of belichick but if they beat us twice, then we have the same record As they have 1 less win I Ihaven’t looked at their remaining schedule, but it is most likely almost the same as ours. They already lost to the Bills once I believe

either way, both of us want the jets to be able to beat them for the next 25 years the way the have beaten us for the past 25, and today was a bad step in the wrong direction. i really thought they were ripe for the pickin. Would have felt a lot better had they beaten the Bears though

I'm not seeing these 'easy' games, apart from possibly Jacksonville. I think you are overestimating our position wrt the rest of the league. We have only won one game against a starting QB, and he was playing injured. The defense are keeping us afloat, but will eventually lose heart if not backed up with some offensive production.

you folks saw the ghosts today.......now Wilson has them ,,,,they were all over the TV lol

Have you tried adjusting your aerial?

It’s not the lose that hurts so much it’s how they lose. Zach totally screwed that game up and it was so blatant to see! They had total control of that game in the first half but that interception killed us. The second half he was even worse when they needed him most! If they would have lost but he played well or better than average than ATLEAST we could have held on to that but he was horrible.

They weren’t going to win every game the rest of the year, I think we all now that but the fact that Zach lost that game for them and they could have won it outright is a killer. I wanted him so much to be the guy but he has shown me it’s probably not going to be that way. I’m so tired of the QB swing every 3-4 years, it’s killing me. I saw true talent and potential in Zach but maybe it was just wishful thinking. DAMNIT!!!

 

[cheaterhater]

5-5 after the cheatahs, we all agree.

then we have:
bears W
Vikings L
bills L
Lions W
Jags W

if things played out as it would seem, 8-7 at this point. Does that ever happen?
Seahawks
Dolphins

Bills will beat us
Vikings, Seahawks are pretty good
can we sweep the phins?
Bears kicked Cheatah ass in cheatah land
should beat Jags and Lions, but even good teams don’t beat every team that they are supposed to beat

I’m no longer confident, and if the team loses confidence in Zach too, we are in trouble

if we win 7 or 8 after starting 5-2 does that inspire confidence?

 

[cheaterhater]

Oh please. Stop already with the ghosts.

But it’s Halloween tomorrow, cut him some slack
