Seth Walder recalls the top five moments in our rivalry with the Pats when Rex took over. I hate the Pats, lets win this one! We already screwed our draft pick, might as well now ruin the Pats home field advantage. They are nearly unbeatable in Gillette.
My favorite moment is point number 2. Everything about it. No one gave us the chance since we got demolished on Thanksgiving, buttfumble and all. On the first drive, NE was driving and then Harris with the interception. Braylon carrying two defensive backs into the endzone. Braylon doing flips, Santonio with his arms extended like a plane, "Can't Wait". What a moment!

1. It's hard to top the first decree from Ryan that showed just how seriously he took the Jets-Patriots rivalry. "I never came here to kiss Bill Belichick's rings," Ryan said in June 2009.
2. Belichick put Ryan in his place on Monday Night Football in 2010, when the Patriots utterly embarrassed the Jets 45-3. "I came in here to kick his butt," Ryan said after the game. "And he kicked mine."
3. Ryan gets the ultimate revenge the next month when his Jets beat the Patriots in the playoffs, sending the Jets to their second straight AFC Championship Game. The win is easily the greatest in Ryan's career with the Jets.
4. A roster punch to Rex Ryan's gut left the coach nauseous, as Belichick stole the best player Ryan ever coached with the Jets: Darrelle Revis. "(I'm a) little sick to my stomach," Ryan said of seeing Revis in a New England uniform.
5. Former Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine revealed to theMMQB.com that he believed the Patriots had gotten their hands on several of Gang Green's defensive playbooks, saying that Ryan handed them out "like candy." In a strange twist, Ryan was irked at Pettine and ended up defending Belichick.
