CTM Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 There D was fine last night. One of our TD's was essentially garbage time set up by Cro's return after an onside...and the other was set up by a stupid fake punt. I think we only score 14pts if those two plays didnt occur. Bottom line is our D out played their O, thats why we won. That might not have happened if Moss was there, his presence was sorely missed. It was obvious. ha, i was about to type the same. They gift wrapped two scores for us.. If your the pats, you had to expect needing to score 24+ to win this game. This game was won with our defense.

Klecko73isGod Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 the fake punt at thier own 38 and 8 minute drive with 12 minutes to go should end that idea for good.. lol That was about as bad a decision I've ever seen a coach make in a playoff game. Just incredibly dumb to try that with less than 90 seconds left in the half, trailing by only four when you are going to be getting the ball to start the second half.

Yup... especially against one of the best ST coaches in the league.. using a guy not used to handling the ball. To smart for his own good. That pretty much won the game for us, imo..

Just incredibly dumb to try that with less than 90 seconds left in the half, trailing by only four when you are going to be getting the ball to start the second half. Actually from everything I'm hearing, Chung made that call at the line. Had he held onto the ball, it would have worked. Still made no sense.

Scott Dierking Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Of course the game would have been different if Moss was in there, but the Jets would not have developed the same defensive scheme if Moss was in there. It is the same as saying this game may have been different if it were played on the moon. It wasn't, he wasn't and to talk about probabilities of differences based on unknown variables is pretty useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that situation you've got to tell that guy to not take any chances and if you don't think you have to do so... Chung's decision is proof he wasn't coached properly. Either way, it's BB's fault.

Klecko73isGod Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) This is a debate that will never end as Pats fans can see the forest for the trees where Welker is concerned - he is a short, slow, white kid who is not afraid to go over the middle - in other words: he is their ultimate wet dream of a player. The fact that he really isn't remotely as good as they think he is or that there are about 50 guys in the league who could do his job at least as well as he does or better is immaterial to them. However, the second he becomes a free agent and the Pats cut him loose rather than pay him a ridiculous sum for his past achievement, which they know he will never come close to repeating, and he signs with another team, they will turn on him with such vile viciousness it's going to be hysterical.

As big a fan of Randy Moss as I am, I don't buy that he would have made any difference in yesterday's game. The Jets built this D to handle those Moss-led Patriots...a random freak TD in a week 2 loss doesn't prove anything. The Pats built their dynasty on Seymour. I think they miss the crap out of that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Moss would not have made a difference. He had something like 150 yards and no TDs the rest of the season. He is done. Washed up. Finished. He is no longer an NFL caliber player. Kyle Wilson would have shut him down, that is if Moss could even beat Branch out and get onto the field. In Tennessee he couldn't beat out Britt.

SMC Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I agree with jif.. our dline did a great job getting pressure and we sat on short routes exposing the fact that the pats really didn't have too much of a deep threat.. Moss changes the complexion of that game a lot imo Agreed. Scott said in the postgame (he said alot) that the D wasn't worried about the vertical game. It was all about hitting the receivers at the line and focus on the stuff in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget Love 20 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Wrong, Revis would have had him for lunch and dinner. In that case, Moss would have folded. What the Pats could have used was a d-lineman and a linebacker....a pass rush specialist would have been nice. Honestly, I think the Pats team over-achieved this year. Young, change on the fly, too many jags on d-line. Anyway, congrats. The better team won last night. The defense was awesome. Thanks Garb, the 2010 Pats was a good reference. I really think that team overachieved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason423 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Moss changes everything about the season for New England. I really dont think you can even guarantee that they make the playoffs if he is on the team. That offense opened up after he left. I guess he could have made a difference if for one game you bring him back and take out Branch, but I doubt it would have been that kind of difference. NE just never established anything on offense. Never even seemed to try after that first quarter. I couldnt believe that they ran Woodhead so much and kept the better runner on the bench when they tried to use the run against that front. Green-Ellis is at least a tank that keeps his legs moving. With so many DB's in the game he can run them over. Woodhead is so small that he cant. Even if he gets through the front of the line a secondary player can take him out one on one without a problem because he is so small.

PatriotReign37 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Alk is right. Yes, the 2007 Moss would have made a difference, but the 2010 Moss did not make a difference...anywhere. Yep, Moss would have loafed and would have become disinterested if passes did not come his way. Moss is living off his resume like Jerry Rice in his twilight years.

PatriotReign37 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Moss could have been the greatest WR of all time. Better than Jerry Rice with Welkers or Woodys attitude. But, he has Randy Moss's attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost 1 game to a better team in the Jets. He scored. They missed him out there...I'm not saying they win, but he changes what the D was doing and could have helped them get back in the game with 1 catch. Yep, Moss would have loafed and would have become disinterested if passes did not come his way. Moss is living off his resume like Jerry Rice in his twilight years. Moss had 3 TD's in as many games with the Pats. He would have easily scored 15+ TD's in that offense, thats not living off a resume. You missed him yesterday big time. Best big play WR ever, on that big of a stage...he makes a play in that game for sure. And its a play that nobody on the current roster can make. If he's out there, you guys might be on your way to the Super Bowl...like you've been predicting for weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I didn't read every page but no way Moss makes a difference yesterday. The easiest thing for the jets defense to gameplan against is how to take away the opponents #1 reciever. Nobody could even slow the pats down until yesterday after they rid themselves of Moss. It took several openminded defensive masterminds to gameplan against such a potent offense yesterday. Revis shut down the 2008,2009 Moss & there's a VERY good chance he'd shut down the 2010 Moss yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) He was sorely missed yesterday. Nobody opens up the field like him and nobody has his game changing abilities. They need it desperately. While I too often like to insist I'm right, I have to turn down your insistence here. Moss went back to being a troll this year when they decided to do a couple different things with the offense...Have you asked yourself why they went away from Moss? The Jets played a big part of that, since we took away the outside of the field but left the middle wide open...Randy is an all or nothing type of guy, and bringing in those two TEs last offseason meant the offense was heading back inside and it probably insulted him. I DO agree that they need an outside threat, but Moss had clearly taken his name out of that ballot this year. Give them Seymour and a healthy Warren and that game is completely different...I insist.
