2010 Patriots Post-Season Thread

I don't think there's any way the Jets hold the Pats without a TD in the 2nd half, or hold Welker and Branch to one combined catch.

The Pats still have to be considered heavy favorites in this game, assuming they don't give up a TD here.

The Pats are going to have to make some serious adjustments and come out of the gates blazing in the second half.


So far, the Jets have dominated the Patriots.  The game doesn't feel as close as it is.

They usually do.  That TD hurts, though.

I'm not really bothered by the defense.  Giving up 14 in a half is acceptable for this team.

What seriously troubles me is the fact that the offense has been almost non-existent.  The Pats can't win except with their offense.

The Patriots just can't get into any kind of rhythm at all.  Bellichick is getting completely out-coached.

[Roy H.]

Wow...  The Jets are playing with more composure than the Pats right now.

[hpantazo]

great job mankins, way to end the half

[PosImpos]

The Patriots are getting booed at the half, and they deserve it.  They've come out here and been awful.

Not as bad as they were in last year's playoff game, but still really awful.

Disgusting.

[Roy H.]

Totally classless by the Foxboro crowd, by the way.  Who are they to boo this team?  It's not like they're not trying.

EDIT:  Just saw your post, PosImpos.  I respectfully disagree.  Booing, in my opinion, should be reserved for poor effort, not for losing.

Patriots need to wake up in the 2nd half.

[Neurotic Guy]

Well that's as bad as I could ever have conceived the first half going. Not only are we 2 scores down, but every shred of momentum and confidence is with the Jets.

After last year's game in Gillette, and now the performance today, I can understand it.  We should be able to expect a better, more composed performance from the Patriots.

it's the mark of a spoiled fan base

Worst half of the season ... the Pats are beating themselves right now, and the Jets not doing anything huge, just executing where the Pats are not. I was worried about the previous games and underestimation ... I hope the wake-up call comes at half-time ... that was horrible.

As bad as it was, if the Pats score a TD to start the second half, they're down 4.  That's a pretty doable deficit.
