The Patriots "Elite Defense" Exposed By Almighty Jets

[Dude]

You want to know why the Pats abandoned the run?

One word - Brady

He controls the offense, and he always wants to be the one that wins a close game by passing it himself.

Unfortunately, this is what it appears to be. I have no idea who has the final call when the time comes to pass or run. However, the two TDs by the Pats today were runs. If Brady was so in love with himself why didn't he pass on those plays. I'm glad he didn't because the final score would have probably been 30-13 Jets.

Brady getting worse with age, while Manning only gets better with age.

I love it

It's positively orgasmic, isn't it?

Sounds like a great idea for a new thread!

I'm already waiting on that thread.

Undeniable and he should be ashamed. His diminishing skills are going to continue costing the team wins.

Did anyone see the post-game press conference? I'm curious how Brady deflected accountability.

 

[Dude]

Brady is in total control. You actually expect him to be benched before he's ready to walk away? Brady and Brady alone will decide when it's over and he's going to drag it out to the bitter end. Remember how we all thought Brett Favre was a spoiled little bitch? Brady will be playing when he's 43 and it'll probably cost Bill his job.

I hope that is not the case. He loves the game and wants to keep on playing forever, but I think he will step down for the benefit of the team when that time comes.

It's funny watching the Patriot haters talk about Brady's demise. If he had giraffes receiving corp, he would have better #'s than giraffe does...and he wouldn't choke in the playoffs.

You haven't been watching the Patriots this season. That's obvious if you believe that.

The Pats this season are about the defense, which has been crippled with the loss of three players in the most important positions, two of them out for the season. Given these circumstances, the resilience the Pats are showing is admirable. I am very proud of this improving D, it is much better than the last two years and actually gave the Yets a game with key players out. Also, the special teams are playing great. Go Pats!

Wilfork, Mayo and Talib would have changed the outcome of yesterday's game profoundly.

Hammer's just hatin' again. The best always draw hate.

 

[Nipsey]

LOL at HammerDown spending all day worrying about Tom Brady. Brady's been off, but bad news for Hammer: The Patriots will win the East this year. And next year The Pats will go deep in the playoffs, yet again. And the year after that, too. Enjoy your giggling, though.

Only one person on these boards is stupid enough to call the patriots defense elite, and he's a blatant troll IMO.

That penalty is a stupid ass rule, though.

Agreed on the DEF, but imo the key to that game was not being able to run it much...Jets have a talented front 7.

On the penalty...I can see why you think it's stupid, but I can also see why it was changed to an unsportsmanlike penalty. Imo, it's not a whole lot different than leaping on a players back to block a FG.
