Jets Vs. Pats

In recent years, the Jets vs. Patriots game has been a game to laugh at if you are a Patriots fan or the Patriots personnel. But times have changed now; the Jets are legitimate Super Bowl contenders and so are the Patriots. The AFC east crown should come down to these two teams, will the Patriots prevailing in the last few weeks of the season.

Lets talk about the playoff implications this game will have in only Week 2. The Patriots are coming off a pretty impressive/easy win against the Hollywood Cincinnati Bengals. The jets however played the worst football imaginable. Rex Ryan put a big target on his team back with his statements about his team going all the way this year, and how they are the team to beat in the AFC...Unleash the bull in Ray Lewis ''Big Mistake". Not only did Ray Lewis and his team Defense make the Jets offense non-existent, they did it with style, intensity, trash talk, and intimidation. If your Rex Ryan you should worry more about your teams dismal offense and not women in the locker room or trash talking other teams..

Enough of week 1's antic's, back to the game that matters now Jets vs. Pats. Darrelle Revis calling Randy Moss a "slouch" was a eye popper, but true Statement. Revis has owned Randy Moss the past two seasons; but look for Tom Brady/Belichick to counter that with many short yardage plays for Moss. This could easily send Revis back to his island that he was own all summer or better yet another island. On the other side Mark Sanchez will need to find a way to score this week, unless they will start the season off 0-2 and 0-2 in their new home.

Keys to the game

Jets- Offense needs to play with a since of urgency, to many weapons on the field to only have 9 points last week. Santonio Holmes can not be the savior Rex Ryan wants him to be once he returns from suspension. The offense has to progress, New England could win this game handily if Mark Sanchez still wants to recall his USC days with to much fun in the sun. Sanchez is the key to a Jets victory.

Defense- Antonio Cromartie has to play with some kind of awareness this week or Wes Welker, Randy Moss, and Julian Edelman will have him turning all game. Although, he did have a interception last week, most of the game his head was in the air looking at brown birds instead of the brown football. Revis will be okay with his match-ups, but Cromartie and the rookie corner-back need to play better. Cromartie is the key to the success of this defense.

Patriots

Offense- If Brady and gang can duplicate their offense from week 1 on the Jets star studded defense, they will come out victorious. This is a simple recipe for success for the Pats offense, just flat out score. Run the ball up the middle, use Rex Ryan's Jets approach against him. Kris Jenkins is out for the year with a torn ACL again. They will be soft up the middle.

Defense- Study the Ravens defensive schemes from last week "Blitz" and blitz some more...Putting pressure on Sanchez can easily rattle their offense and cause problems....keep LaDainian Thomlinson in sight, LT in the flats causes problems, monitor the little guy. Do not get beat deep.

Lets just see if Rex Ryan big Hollywood summer with "Hard Knocks" and predictions for the Jets pays off in week 2. Lets not forget the respect level he has for Bill Belichick, the puzzled look on his face clearly says he was more scared of Bill then what his statement said.

Until next time--------BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
