Hopefully we aren’t facing a pissed off Patriots team.

btw a season in which we sweep the Patriots is a victory to me!

but do they have the will?

Even if they beat the Pats, will they be able to beat the Bucs or the Bills? The defense really needs some teaching. Great defenses dont keep missing tackles.

Hey I hade very little confidence about a jags win yesterday. All week long I prepared myself for an (ugly) loss. And we know what happened yesterday. HEy I thought about the Colts game; that it is over and the Pats won it; and the Colts could turn it around.
PLUS: The Patrios have lots of injured players yesterday; that is also a chance. Yesterday in the second half we saw how good the Jets can play; how good corner Revis (he just took out Mike Sims Walker in the 2nd round-when Ryan decided to cover him.) I think he can do it with Moss. I think if the Jets will play wih so much fire like the Jags did on the first half and the last drive; they can do a major upset in the Gilette Stadium

because we are not supposed to win it. For the first time yesterday I saw one of the players lay it on the line in the post game press conferences. Edwards didn’t give the same old, we will do it next week etc, he basically said that the players need to look in the mirror, and realise that they are not just going to be handed the win, they have to work for it. However I say we beat the Patriots/Colts and then lose to the Bucs/Bills, because we are the Jets, and that’s what we do.

If we win on Thursday, we’ll be 5-5 and a game behind the Pats, but if the Jets win the Dolphins are still in second place assuming we win on Thursday, its win-win for us but it would help us if you guys pull off the upset.

I think the Jets can win. They’re a hell of a team right now when all three units (offense, defense, special teams) show up. Some games everything just clicks. Some games Sanchez is king, some games he’s clearly a rookie. The defense has been a little lackluster pretty much since the first meeting with the Dolphins. Special teams in the second Dolphins game was… yeah, let’s not even talk about that.

If they beat the Patriots and lose the rest of their games, I’ll be plenty happy though. I’m only recently back into paying attention to Pro football (I was mainly a college junkie before, but the piss poor postseason of college and blatant favoritism got to me) and in dealing with Patriots fans as a Jets fan well… let’s just say, I’d be happy if the Jets only won two games every season.

“However I say we beat the Patriots/Colts and then lose to the Bucs/Bills, because we are the Jets, and that’s what we do.”

Hahaha. So true… so true. Just look at the Titans last year.

I’m hoping they finish at or about .500 for wins and two of those are the Pats. Beating them at home isn’t easy, especially with Sanchez still dealing with the cold. But hey… I think the Pats are going to be playing for blood this game (see the Titans game) which either means it’s gonna be ugly or they’re going to be victims of their own hubris.
