Three quick observations as the Pats lead, 3-0. 1. The Jets look horrific offensively. A turnover, another awful fumble and a confused attack. 2. The Pats can’t block anyone right now. 3. When Moss is split left, the defense shifts over and leaves a weakness to the offensive left. Watch Fred Taylor look to exploit [...]
Pats go hurry-up, with one back and Edelman the Welker spot. Why go hurry-up with this defense, I’m not sure. The Jets stiffen, force a punt and Chris Hanson can’t lock them down. Now the focus shifts to the Pats linebackers. Gary Guyoton in the middlof the 4-3.

Get ready for the hype. The Jets are treating this game on Sunday, in the Meadowlands, as if it is a playoff game. Coach Rex Ryan is backing off his ridiculous “I won’t kiss Belichick’s rings” comment a few months ago, but he’s not letting up when it comes to hyping this game up. He [...]
