How Good Can We B?

There are reasons to celebrate this Sunday. Gang Green is coming off a very impressive win in Houston and demonstrated how good things can be this season. The defense was everything as advertised. Jenkins stuffed the middle and took advantage of an undersized center who needed help on every pass play. And to watch him coming as a stand up linebacker was like watching a runaway train rolling down hill. David Harris is showing no signs of rust after an injury cut his '08 campaign short. This team laid the wood and pressured a veteran Qb into hurrying his throws.

Yes, Sanchez matured by the quarter and made some very nice throws.

Can they make it two in a row against a team and a coach that can't lose enough games for my liking. Don't breakout the victory dance just yet. No the Patsy were not impressive Monday night but hung around long enough to steal a victory from a sure defeat. Brady will put points up against the Jets and don't expect them to sell out on blitzes like they did last week. They will play a more controlled chaos against their rivals. Brady shook all the rust off by the 4th Qtr and was in midseason form on that final drive to beat the Bills. Oh, by the way the Bills will not recover from that loss on MNF. NE's D is not going to shut out the Jets, but they will disguise some things that will confuse Sanchez and force him to make some ugly throws. A couple will be pick'd and put Brady in favorable situations.

My hope is that the Jets stand toe-to-toe with Ne and let them know that this is not going to be easy, unless Belicheat has a camera at Florham Park. Rex is not here to kiss anyone's Super Bowl rings, but he will learn a few things about how to win championships. This will be a contest of the boxer vs. the puncher. The boxer usually wins! Hey, I'll take 3 and 1 at the quarter pole.
