jason423 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 This is the big one. Prime time TV. 1st place on the line. Jets vs. Patriots. Mangini vs. Belichick. This is the big rivalry that dates back to 1997 and has not let up since. This could be the biggest regular season game either team plays this season. The winner is the clearcut favorite to win the AFC East and quite possibly earn a bye week in the playoffs. The loser falls right back into the wildcard hunt competing with four teams for two spots and having the unenviable task of needing to win 3 road games to get to the Super Bowl, if they are even fortunate enough to make the playoffs. It is no secret which team has owned the rivalry since 2001. New England has only lost to the Jets 3 times in that stretch. They are in the Jets heads and it showed earlier this year when New England dismantled the Jets in the Meadowlands despite the loss of QB Tom Brady. But those days are an eternity ago and the Jets have a chance at redemption and to take control of the East with a win on Thursday night. Jets Defense vs. Patriot Offense The Jets should know exactly what to look for from Matt Cassel and the New England Patriots offense.

CTM Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Great breakdown! It seems to me that their starting to take the handcuffs off of Cassell of late. I'm a little nervous that he has a coming out game of sorts against our weak secondary.. I think this game is won and lost in the passing games on both sides and I hate to admit that I have less confidence in the Favre/Mangini/Schott combination then the Cassell/Belichick/McDaniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Here is some analysis: You 'wanna know who's 'gonna win the game? Watch to see what Belichick wears. Anything other than the Grey Hoodie - the Pats are toast. Why do you think they lost the SB? I knew it as soon as I saw him. Even said it out loud. "What the hell is he doing wearing a red shirt?"
