OK, so I was wrong. I got ahead of myself when I said the Patriots would demolish the Jets this Sunday. I am just a big fan of the team, and I'm an optimist.
The Patriots second-half road game troubles continued as they were outscored 18-0 by Mark Sanchez and the Jets. Tom Brady was not Tom Brady in the second half, when he threw to Randy Moss and Wes Welker only twice for a total of five-yards passing. Such an abysmal passing game is not going to help them win games. Brady was all over the place with his throws, despite having good protection from the offensive line and plenty of time to throw the ball. Brady was 20-of-36 for 248 yards, 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. I really did not think the Jets could play as well as they did, or should I say, I did not think the Patriots could play so poorly.
It was a tough loss. To quote Tom Brady, the Patriots "sucked." But, being the optimist I am and being a huge fan of Brady, Moss, Welker and the rest of the team, I will stick by my words from my first blog about the Patriots. New England will get better as the season goes on and they will contend for a championship and redeem themselves.
As for this loss to the Jets, it is even more fuel to throw in the fire. The team will work the bugs out. Players will get used to playing with one another and develop their chemistry. Brady will work with the new guys and the defense will get stronger. There is a lot of football left this season. So look out New York Jets, we will see you again on Monday, Dec. 6, and it will be a different story then. For now, enjoy your victory while it lasts, because you just got an early Christmas gift.
