Official Game Thread: New England Patriots @ New York Jets

[Europe_for_JETS]

We were robbed....all the calls this game have been questionable and in pats favor....the pass interference with gronk, the pats TD with gillisee, and this one with sefarian. In my like I never saw a TD overturned like this. The rule is they dont overturn unless their is real evidence in replay and guess what NOTHING - NADA.....

This was really disgusting. We were brutally molested by the officials this game. The ASF TD and the PI on Gronk in the end zone were the game deciders in my opinion. Otherwise, we were more or less evenly matched with the Cheats, but the bad calls and some dumb mistakes (including the two timeouts) were too much to overcome in a tight game.

Sad really - the burned timeouts were tough....but the killer was the refs - the stole this game from us.

Atrocious officiating in that game that cost us the game. First was that Gronk TD, which was offensive interference, not interference on Adams. And of course the Jenkins TD was absurd. I give the Jets credit and the coaching staff credit again for a really good game plan.

Hey for what its worth the 0-16 Jets came 1 TD from defeating the supposed 16-0 pats. And that 1 TD was robbed

Jets hung in there and played tuff as hell. Gotta give it to them. Even with a garbage ass QB like McCown (which he's pretty much no different-if not worse then Fitzgarbage) they played tuff. With that said, they were robbed and it was a good game. Can't say I'm on board truly (can't get pass the playing McCown thing) but they are intriguing to say the least.

Note: this team can definitely win 6-8 games and ruin that number draft pick QB selection. Go Jets, I guess!!!

Experts pick the Pats to win by virtually triple digits. It took the Pats' 12th to 18th men to put them over the top.

To me, one of the worst calls was picking up the flag on the hit to Anderson's head. He took the crown of a helmet to the facemask, and they picked up the flag.

In my opinion the Jets won this game. The officials just stole the win from them. We made some mistakes, got some stupid penalties called on us, had a couple of bad play calls, like trying to convert 4th and 1 by running up the middle when the run game isn't really working well, but over all I'm proud of the way our guys played and it darn sure wasn't the blowout predicted by the so called experts.

I don't know how you tell 53 guys to tank because help is on the way especially help from a crop of very flawed QB's. They have seemingly changed the culture and that is more important than one man even if it is the most important player on the field.

Sitting in those stands i could just shake my head.
the saddest thing is, it's come to be expected the way the game is called by the refs
head shot to Robbie pick up flag
45 yd PI in EZ
Touch Back ???? Did he even lose the ball???
plus multiple constant calls for the fuckin Pats
domt know what else I missed from being there but these 3 had me
all I can say is WTF

Agree 100%

They said: "One of the worst calls I've seen in the NFL." And it WAS!!!!

OMG, I just watched it! We got hosed and of course, the beloved Pats were the beneficiary.

 

[SackExchange]

What I am most impressed with is how the team is handling the situation. They aren't pointing fingers at the officiating. That's for fans and for the tabloids. Instead, from the HC down to the players, they talked about how they have to play better.

They were cheated out of a win against a team that is supposed to be light years ahead of them. There may not be such a thing as a good loss or a moral victory, but this is pretty damn close.

 

[The Wicker Man]

I agree Sack, I was just listening to what ASJ had to say about the play and he took the blame saying that he has to do a better
job of securing the ball.

And they should say those things. That one play didn't cost them a win, it just cost them 7 pts. So did McCown awful throw coupled with Anderson's awful route. Skrine missed an easy INT. All those things cost them or gave the Pats points. It sucks that they lost, but the culture is changing while they grow as a team. They just aren't very good and mistakes are magnified with them right now.

couldn't agree more.... they should be 4-2 now. The coaching staff needs to get their shit together and start to light a fire under the DL/OL ... No running game to speak of, and ZERO sacks for the YEAR not game year..... Hey DC how about playing people in the right positions for a Fking change and if your going hto ahve lee cover Gronk, how about alittle help over the top... I mean WTF.

 

[Elias]

The Patriots suck. If we make less mistakes and have one shit call go in our favor we win.

 

[NewMFS62]

Like in a fish restaurant in Boston, we got scrod.

Bill Cower just said that it looked like a TD to him. Jets always make just enough mistakes to lose to the pats....they do it every time regardless of who is coach. But it's hard to win with no sacks and no running game but jets still made it a game to watch. Bowles record against BB is not good. Maybe its time coach changes things up radically in Foxborough.

With how this team has performed, I really don't see too much legitimate critiques of the coaching staff. Yes, there have been elements of the team that have not done as much as others, but by and large, I don't think even the most optimistic Jets fan anticipated this.
