Stick it right up their ass today.

[RedOctober3829]

Pats cut Tennant and promoted Tarpinian from the practice squad.

[ypioca]

This is the first NFL game I'll attend in my life.

Make it glorious.

[DaveRoberts'Shoes]

I will be there - I've already informed my office staff to cancel my clinic if we lose because I will most assuredly be in jail.

I have a feeling we're going to kick the tits off of them, though.

[Ed Hillel]

Apparently the Jets called the NFL because our offense is too good. lol boo hoo.

[Hendu's Gait]

I will be disappointed with anything less than a 45-3 Pats win.

[Turrable]

They better fucking win because if they don't I seriously think I'll be done with sports for about 2 days

[Soxy Brown]

Yup. As much as I was trying to talk people off of the ledge after last week's debacle, I may be right there with them if the Pats somehow lose this one. There's no reason they shouldn't clobber this Jets team at home.

The one guy who scares me more than anything is Stephen Hill. He's exactly the kind of WR that has been killing the Pats. If I'm the Jets, I send him deep, then chuck it and pray about 10 times this game. Given the way our secondary has been playing, there's probably at least a 50% chance of a catch or DPI.

[BigSoxFan]

People can rationalize the close losses all they want but if the Pats lose today, then it'd be a very strong indicator that this team just isn't very good. I really don't want to face that reality so please destroy this garbage Jets team.

[DegenerateSoxFan]

Patriots are 8 - 3 wearing throwbacks, according to a couple of sites that came back with info? I would have guessed they'd played more like 20 games in throwbacks.

I think they bust them out twice a season now. They still do give me a bit of the willies at every first view, but that record is very close, percentage wise, to their overall record in the Belichick era. IIRC, there were a few memorable bed-shittings early on after the throwbacks came back that evoked horrifying flashbacks of a time when they were the dregs and run by complete asshats. Maybe it's way the debate over Pat vs. Elvis stays alive. IMO, the old red unis are awesome, and when I think of positive memories of the Pats during my childhood, I remember one time I was watching the Pats with the goofy minuteman dude playing center on their helmuts with my dad on TV, and the Pats threw a 56-3 beatdown on the Jets. My dad, normally a rather staid personality, was utterly gleeful. A similar dismantling would be nice today. Anything can happen, sure, but I'd be a lot more worried if Revis was healthy. He's the one guy who can cover Lloyd consistently - maybe Gronk if necessary.

WIN.

Mike Reiss ‏@MikeReiss
Rookie LB Dont'a Hightower (questionable, hamstring) is testing things on the field with assistant strength coach Moses Cabrera nearby.

That would be pretty much the first strong indicator of the year that this team is anything but very good. I know people weren't expecting to be 3-3 right now but this team has the best scoring offense in the entire league and a much more explosive defense even if the secondary is still an issue, I just don't get the pessimism.

Pats 38-17.

[RedOctober3829]

My predictions for inactives

Bolden
White
Gregory
Brace
Hightower
Hooma
Bequette

The pessimism probably comes from the fear that, if the Jets did throw 10 bombs, as suggested above, 5 of them would turn into TDs or DPIs inside the 10 yard line.

[Jack Sox]

Chung and Mankins inactive per Reiss

[jsinger121]

Jeff Howe ‏@jeffphowe
Pats inactives: Gregory, Bolden, White, Mankins, Chung, Brace, Bequette.

[jsinger121]

Who the fuck starts opposite Tavon Wilson? Nate Ebner?

[JerBear]

McCourty?

EDIT: Edelman is active...

Joe McKnight active for the NYJ

[Jack Sox]

Wouldn't mind seeing Dowling get some burn today.

[E5 Yaz]

MikeReiss Mike Reiss
With Patrick Chung out, Patriots could move DB Sterling Moore to safety. Or possibly Devin McCourty. Otherwise, 2 rookies start there.

[Super Nomario]

Moore did play some safety last week, but he was at least partially to blame on the 51-yard pass to Tate. This could get ugly. I think McCourty is probably the best option here.

[Mystic Merlin]

Has DMC even taken reps at safety this year?

[phragle]

I'm sick of Chung. Trade that little bitch.

[phragle]

Wouldn't mind seeing Dowling get some burn today.

He'll need to somehow un-poop in Bill's coffee

[RedOctober3829]

According to Mehta, mcKnight is OUT

[Mystic Merlin]

Who do the Jets have behind Greene?

Fuck the injuries. Next man up do the job.

I was going off this.

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

I don't care how injured the Pats secondary is.. they are going up against the Sanchize.

It the Pats cannot stop this stiff even with rookies, the defensive coaches should commit ritual suicide.

[MarcSullivaFan]

Smith, Pouha, and Ellis out. Pats should run all over these guys.

[jsinger121]

Jeff Howe ‏@jeffphowe
Starting safeties, based on warmups, are Tavon Wilson and Nate Ebner. McCourty and Arrington are the corners.

[Reverend]

The resistible force against the moveable object.

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Smith, Pouha, and Ellis out. Pats should run all over these guys.

This should be a laugher.

[Turrable]

Time to secure sole possession of first place.

[Ed Hillel]

Ebner over the McCourty/Dowling duo.

I don't even...

[Soxaholic]

Murder them.

[Jack Sox]

Looking forward getting an extended look at Nate Ebner.

[drleather2001]

Mankins has been in and out for like 2 years. I don't think it's a huge loss at this point, it's more of a "bummer".

[Soxaholic]

Looking forward getting an extended look at Nate Ebner.

Looking forward or dreading?

[drleather2001]

My opinion re: Chung is that his loss on Pass D will be, at worst, negligible. And the Pats Run D will be fine without him.

[McBride11]

Looking forward getting an extended look at Nate Ebner.

So is Sanchez!

[LMontro]

Looking forward getting an extended look at Nate Ebner.

So is Sancheez

[Jack Sox]

Was impressed with Ebner in preseason so I guess we'll see. I have to believe they'll eventually hit on a safety pick one of these years - who better than a former college rugby player ?

[hawaiirsn]

So it looks like my streaming options from Vip box are fox or sky sports which as of right now is showing a CBS logo, will these actually be different feeds? If so I gotta figure out which one to watch

[TheoShmeo]

My opinion re: Chung is that his loss on Pass D will be, at worst, negligible. And the Pats Run D will be fine without him.

I'd agree if the Pats were sliding McCourty or Moore to safety.

I don't know if Ebner is as bad as he looked at the end of the game versus Seattle but this is a guy who was a special teams specialist in college. He's really the best we can do at starting safety (after injuries) in the NFL? Even against Sanchez, it's a pretty underwhelming thought.

Please Bill, how about some aggressive blitzing D today? Pressure Sanchez, don't let him sit there and pick apart this secondary.

Pats win today.

That's probably the game which was switched away from the Pats at halftime because they were ahead by four touchdowns already. Pissed me off.
