1. The hurry-up has to be gassing the Jets.
2. The Litto Sheppard injury (questionable, leg) really hurts this Jets defensive scheme, which has the corners playing bump and run …
3. There’s a reason Bill Belichick didn’t panic as Greg Lewis failed miserably and Joey Galloway continues to underachieve. That reason is, Julian Edelman. Kid’s a [...]

Jets really have no defensive answer for the New England hurry-up
And the Jets can’t do a thing on offense. Still, it’s only a pair of field goals, and the Pats lead. 6-0.
Interesting here, the Jets look confused. Trying to run the football, the Pats are stout tackle-to-tackle. It’s sound thought, go right at Gary Guyton, [...]

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.

Now the focus shifts to the Pats linebackers.
Gary Guyoton in the middlof the 4-3.

It is 2:30 p.m. on a Friday and I am having a hard time figuring out who will win this game — Pats vs. Jets.
I believe it will be very physical and a lot of trash talking.
Anyway, here are 10 things to look for in the biggest game of the early season for the Patriots:
1. [...]

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 is [...]
