Yea I was wondering about that myself. I mean it is not like the Jets couldn't run the ball, they just fell behind so quick they went away from the run game.
The patriots never allow any rushing yards. Don't try to use statistics to prove the.guy wrong, thats just stupid.
between the 20's? Stats are for losers. Who won the game and then f'ked prom queen is what the fans care about.
The series is tied 1-1 this year. You said no team runs on you at home, meanwhile we did while barely even trying and gained 152. You like most Patsy fans are clueless because you didn't know what a Patriot was until the past 10 years. You thought it was a Mel Gibson movie
You can run on NE, come on now. Lets get real there was no reason to air it out and certainly no reason to run the hurry up. Plus what does being at home matter when running the ball. Passing the ball yes, tough to audible certain protections with fans yelling but running the ball? I think you're reaching there. NE made Hillis look like Jim Brown, Hillis is decent but not that great. Granted NE learned from that and have gotten better.
Too bad he cheated just like his daddy and the Broncos are pursuing firing with cause. So he has no Honor because he cheated and he is not smart because he won't get him money. The guy is a scumbag. Don't need him.
Runs? I didn't say anything about getting run on at home. Someone else I guess. No Biggie. Someone here likes stats huh? Here's some meaningless stats for you. What NFL QB has- (A) thrown at least 20 TDs and no more than 5 picks through the end of week 13? (B) thrown at least 30 TDs and no more than 10 picks for the entire season? Answer: Tommy Boy & Tommy Boy
Who has 2 rookie PLAYOFF records and is not named TOM?? Mark Sanchez Who will end up with better sophomore stats than Tom?? THE SANCHIZE Who lets his wife put a strap-on... on and fuck him silly with it? Tommy Boy
We are a much, much different defense at home, esp against the run, we have historically and still are a great run defense at Foxboro, I don't blame Rex for spreading the field, it wasn't the game plan. You simply got beat, out executed, there's nothing more to it than that.
They should have ran the ball and the clock, you have the best QB in the league, the best coach in the league, your RBs don't fumble and your receivers run precise routes. Best way to beat your offense is....to keep it off the field!!!! We can agree to disagree about running the ball vs. NE but passing the ball against them with the Sanchize, did not work, did it now? :buffaloblows:
Whoa, whoa, back up... You're playing in Foxboro. The crowd is going insane. You've committed a series of gaffs right off the bat and now the Pats are up 17-3 in the 1st quarter and are running hot. What do you do at this time? Spread the offense and try to shoot it out with them? That's suicide and everyone knows it... YOU DON'T SHOOT IT OUT WITH THE PATS IN THEIR OWN HOUSE. What they should have done is get thier feet under them, stabilized things and gotten something going. This team has one of the top rushing attacks in the league, we only have a mediocre passing game, we should have gone with our strength and not our weakness. By running the ball you make the opponent wait for the ball, and more importantly - you make the fans wait too... This helps to discharge the crowd and opposing team. Make them wait, let them witness some success from the opponent, force them to take a more defensive posture rather than an all-out attack position. The Jets were having success running the ball, they averaged 5.0 yards a carry which is great, it's mystifying why they went away from that so early in the game. Right there in the 1st quarter they should have been trying to drag down that frenetic crowd and Brady's runaway train offense. The Jets should have dug in and ran the ball at them till they softened that defense up. Then they might have ripped off 7 or 8 yards a carry and some big runs, which would have forced the defense up and allowed the Jets to better utilize their recievers. The short story is: The Jets never tried to take control of the situation, instead they let the situation control THEM... When everything is going crazy all around you it's important for you to stay cool and calm and focused. If this situation happens again, and it will eventually, the Jets need to adopt a policy of offensive conservatism in order to diffuse the energy of the crowd and the opponent. If the Jets had buckled down and run the ball in the 1st quarter they might have had a chance.
Somehow I'm thinking that Shottenheimer comes from the Chargers and is a protege' of his old man, HE WANTS TO PASS THE BALL... Isn't that always the answer in San Diego? "Pass the ball" is always the answer out there, but this isn't San Diego and we're not built to do that. Still I think Schottenheimer only knows one way, he wants to shoot it out, but he doesn't realize he's not with Chargers anymore.
Crazy Al did. If they would not have said they didn't think it was a firable offense in an interview and fired him last Monday instead of this Monday absolutely.
I think you're missing the point. I think also you need to revisit the game. We weren't engaged in a shootout. Our last series of the first half we threw the ball almost exclusively. But why? Well, because there was only one goddamn minute left in the half and we had 80 yards to cover. We went into the locker room down 21 points. Even still, our first series of the second half, we did exactly what you're proposing. We moved the ball down the field with a balanced combination of run and pass, blew about six minutes off the clock, kept the Patriots off the field and took the ball all the way into the redzone. Then flushed it all down the drain with an interception, and then watched New England march 90 yards for another touchdown. By this time, the quarter is nearly over and now we're down 28 points! My question to you isn't a football question as much as it is a math question. And not the new math, either. This is the old fashioned stuff: Where are you getting all this time for these long, sustained drives unless our defense is forcing three-and-outs? Down 28 points, with just a quarter of football remaining, and what would you have us do? Slow the offense down? Are ya kidding? Last Monday night, the NFL made touchdowns worth only six points. Now, you and I might not think that was very fair, but those were the rules they set for that game. That means, at that point, we needed at least three of them and a couple of those extra point thingies just to get us back into contention. What made things even worse is that they also ruled on Monday night that we had to give the ball back to New England each time after we scored, which is just another example of the NFL giving the Patriots all the fucking breaks. However, if we were able to stop their offense, I think we could have made an argument to the refs that we deserved the ball back. Unfortunately, we never got to make that argument. Points! We needed points. And, we needed those points because of the 17-point head start we GAVE them. We also needed our defense to show up. This game was lost in the first quarter.
