I told you so!

What a way to respond boys! You really showed those Patriots who's boss! NOT!!! I think in some ways last night's defeat was more embarrassing than the 45-3 drubbing last year. Let's think about the intangibles here: the Jets were playing at home(where they were 4-0), they were coming off a manhandling of the #1 offense in the league, the Patriots were coming off 2 straight losses, and what happened? The Jets did not step up to the plate! Why?

The Defense: How could you go from shutting down a similar offense, in the Bills, to being completely inept against NE? The D had a couple of bright moments, like Jamaal Westerman's safety in the 2nd quarter, but besides that they could not stop Brady or Gronkowski. I think you have to give credit to Brady for orchestrating a marvelous 2nd half. The no huddle quick passing game gassed the Jets D line and their linebackers. The confusion in the secondary is something we see far to much from the defense. Someone should be held accountable for that!

Mark Sanchez: He threw 2 huge interceptions in this game,albeit one was more Greene's fault than his own. The 2nd pick he locked onto Tomlinson and Ninkovich read it the whole way. YOU CAN'T STARE RECEIVERS DOWN MARK! How could you not take advantage of the worst defense in the league??? Especially when they were missing two starters and had special teams players filling in. This is why I wonder if the Jets will ever be able to make a Super Bowl,let alone win one, with Sanchez at QB. What was with the timeout right before the half?? He left Brady with tons of time to march down and score a TD.

Special Teams: First Nick Folk misses a chip shot FG, and then McKnight fumbles a punt. I think the fumbled put was the turning point in the game. Think about it, the defense had just forced a second three and out against the Patriots. If McKnight cleanly fields the punt, the Jets get the ball on their own 30 with a chance to tie the game. 

Unlike last week when all three phases of the Jets were clicking, last night they were off. I really think this falls on the coaching staff. How do you not have your team focused and ready to play, with the division on the line? Bill Belichick was seen saying to his son as he walked off the field,"Thirty seven points on the best defense in the league. S**k my d**k!" How does that sound Rex?
