The Week 2 Super Bowl

PrintThe Jets aren't acting like their meeting with the Patriots this Sunday is a regular Week 2 game.
"We're going to be playing this game like it's the Super Bowl," nose tackle Kris Jenkins said yesterday.
...
Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said he doesn't expect Ryan's bravado to add any more competitive fire to the game than it will already have.
"I don't think (the Patriots) will like us any (less) than they do now," Cotchery said. "They don't like us at all. We're not too much worried about that at all.
"Of course (they don't like us), they're in our division. We're trying to win this division and anyone that's in the way of us trying to win is considered to be the enemy."
Good. This is more than just a regular game. The Pats are the stiffest competition. I know Miami won the division last year, but if we're honest, the East always goes through Foxborough. New England is the team that has dominated the Jets this decade.
Winning this game will require a tremendous effort. The Pats always bring their best shot to the Meadowlands. I expect a much better performance from them than they had against the Bills last night. It's going to require that kind of focus and intensity if the Jets are going to have a shot at pulling the upset.

Oh crap
Reminds me a lot of last season’s game

Here is how I would try to stop Brady.
Blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz, and then…. blitz. He has looked a little bit uncomfortable when the pocket collapses, he isn’t his normal, confident, automatic under pressure self yet at this point. So bring the heat. Bring Harris and Scott up the middle all day behind Jenkins, stick Revis against 81 all day and have him just stick him at the line every play. Get in his chest and jam him at the line of scrimmage all day. Put Lito on Welker, and have Kerry Rhodes do a lot of spying and roaming around the secondary, up close to the line of scrimmage. I think they try to hit Welker on short passes all day, so bring heat, jam receivers, and let Kerry lurk. I think we will stop the running game to the point where Brady will be throwing almost all day. On offense, it is a lot more simple. Get Thomas Jones and Leon Washington the rock all day. 20 touches each again, and limit 3rd and long. Use play action to freeze linebackers and pick your spots with Sanchez. I am more confident in the Jets then I have been in a very long time. They can seriously open up some eyes around the NFL, if they haven’t already, with a win vs the Brady bunch.

brady is also great at reading defenses and the Patriots have more than an arsenal of quick screens to Welker, Moss and checkdowns to Faulk to dissect any blitz happy defense. I think the key to beating them will be defending these playes, especially on 3rd down. Especially, that pass to Faulk in the flat they love to run for an easy 7-12 yards. The Pats may have pulled it out last night, but they showed their share of weaknesses. Their d looked average at best. We got em on a short week in our house. Its a huge game for this franchise. Their will be no ring kissin. There will be ass kickin. Go Jets!
he looked plenty confident last night

If the Bills D who has no pass rush can get to Brady consistently for most of the game, then i fully believe that the Jets D should be able to keep him on his heels the whole game. After the disappointing loss to them last night i am 100% cheering for y’all, hope you can pull off the upset that the Bills got so close to doing!
