Don't fucking lose to this team.

Bilal Powell is out this week and Joe McKnight looks to be out as well. Per Manish Mehta.

And Shone Greene isn't running for 160 yards either.

[PeaceSignMoose]

I have no faith in this defense's ability to prevent Mark Sanchez from looking like Peyton Manning.

Patriots will wear the red throwback uniforms this Sunday vs. the Jets.#PatPatriot

[Stitch01]

Same as last year

[Ed Hillel]

I'm watching Lloyd this week. I know the last two snaps, but I'm skeptical that he's uninjured.

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

I fear a repeat of the Wildcat game against Miami from several years ago.

The Jets use of Tebow has been sparse. Am I paranoid in thinking that they have specific Tebow packages that they have been keeping under wraps for this game, similar to how Sparano waited to deploy the Wildcat vs. the Pats?

I am not expecting them to revolutionize football, but the Wildcat certainly caught the Pats off guard that day, they weren't ready for it, had no film for it and couldn't figure out how easily it could be stopped in real time.

Would anyone be shocked to see the Jets attempting to throw bubble screens or something to Tebow and gashing the Pats until they figure it out?

Bubble screens? Yes I'd be shocked--if they want Tim Tebow in space with the ball, good for them.

Would I be surprised if they were doing a bunch of pistol, read-option and the like? Not at all. It would be stupid though--if I'm playing the Pats I spread NE out and throw it downfield all game long.

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

yes bubble screens may have been a poor choice to just throw out there. Maybe I am just paranoid but the Jets seem fixated on beating the Pats. Them holding something back for 6 games to deploy against the Pats doesn't seem like an unrealistic scenario.

Hopefully it will be lame and stupid and the Pats will blow it up and I will laugh at Fat Rex. I am probably just being paranoid and drawing too much from the Sparano Wildcat game/Tebow on the Jets angle.

[RedOctober3829]

They don't have the stable of running backs to effectively run the Wildcat. Having McKnight and Powell to go along with Greene would really make sense for the WC to come out this week, but because they are so thin at that position it's not realistic.

I expect them to come out throwing the ball all over the place.

[Ed Hillel]

I wonder if Jones lines up on the left to avoid D'Brickshaw, like he did much of the game against Denver. There is a gigantic gap in talent between the left and right tackles of the Jets.

I expect him to line up on the weak side of the line whenever possible so it lessens the possibility of getting chipped by a TE or RB.

If you're going for a quarterback why not sign Hoyer?

Christopher Price ‏@cpriceNFL
Quiet day in the locker room--@FonzieDennard15, Steve Gregory and Matt Slater the only 3 who spoke with the media. Stories coming shortly.

Looks like Gregory is getting close or else he wouldn't be talking to the media and Slater must not be seriously hurt for him to be talking as well.

[phragle]

"Wait, Hoyer was released?!?!?"- Rex

[southshoresoxfan]

"Wait, Hoyer was released?!?!?"- Rex

LOL, they gonna make KOC a captain again too? Please. Jets will try to spread it out and throw, and I can't think of a better way for a young/talented/inexperienced secondary to get some footing/confidence then some Sanchez ducks fluttering towards them. Hill and Keller are the only two options in the passing game, and they won't exactly have to stack the box to stop Greene.

Pats by 24

[Stitch01]

Pats win, but I dont think Im laying the 11. Like the effort the Jets have given the last two weeks when they really could have laid down for the season.

Jets dont get enough pressure or play well enough on 3rd down to really slow down the Pats offense. I think the Jets need 24+ to win.

Sanchez throws for a bunch of yards but mixes in a turnover or two which is the difference.

[RedOctober3829]

Jeff Triplette is the referee for Sunday's game.

Tracy White and Brandon Bolden were the only players not spotted at today's walkthrough.

Also of note: old friend Myron Pryor was on the field. This is the first week PUP players are eligible to practice with their teams. No word on Shiancoe.

So the Pats have a three-week window to decide whether to activate Pryor. Who are the most likely options to go? Carpenter, maybe, once White and Hightower are healthy. Tennant, once Mankins is healthy. Maybe Bequette? I assume Hoomanawanui is gone once Shiancoe is ready to return.

I'd say Brace potentially could get cut.

[RedOctober3829]

Jets S Eric Smith (knee sprain) likely to miss Sunday's game vs Patriots. Expect rookie Antonio Allen to sub in again.

Wes Welker can breathe easy.

[tims4wins]

Tebow could play RB?!

[jsinger121]

Jeff Howe ‏@jeffphowe
Hernandez, Mankins Gregory, White and Bolden absent from practice. Edelman still has some protection on his left hand.

[Mystic Merlin]

Odd - Hernandez spoke with reporters today. Maintenance day?

[RedOctober3829]

Yep. That's probably the case with Mankins as well. Hightower did not miss practice, so maybe his status for Sunday is looking good.

[Super Nomario]

Odd - Hernandez spoke with reporters today. Maintenance day?

I think this is just the media portion of practice. He could still participate later. My money is on him showing up as "limited."

[jsinger121]

Did not participate:
Running back Brandon Bolden (knee)
Safety Steve Gregory (hip)
Tight end Aaron Hernandez (ankle)
Left guard Logan Mankins (hip, calf)
Linebacker Tracy White (foot)
Limited participation:
Defensive lineman Ron Brace (back)
Safety Patrick Chung (shoulder)
Wide receiver Julian Edelman (hand)
Tight end Rob Gronkowski (hip)
Linebacker Dont’a Hightower (hamstring)
Offensive lineman Nick McDonald (shoulder)
Cornerback Sterling Moore (knee)
Right tackle Sebastian Vollmer (back, knee)
Wide receiver Wes Welker (ankle)
Full participation:
Defensive tackle Kyle Love (knee)

That's two days in a row for Bolden. Maybe an opportunity for Vereen if he doesn't play? That's also a ST concern, since Bolden has been playing 3 or 4 units all year and White is also hurt.

On ESPN Boston they’ve mentioned such things as Boldens chair has been folded up and all the Pats have had White helmets (Throwback) in the lockers with the exception of a few such as White and Bolden. Going by the "Equipment barometer" doesn’t look good for Bolden (or White)

What did we do before 24 hr news coverage?

[jsinger121]

Jeff Howe ‏@jeffphowe
No Bolden, Gregory or White. Mankins and Hernandez return.

Bolden is likely out for this week.

[jsinger121]

Bolden looks to have one crutch behind him in the picture. Also seems to be putting more weight on his right leg than the left.

[Al Zarilla]

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.

[RedOctober3829]

Bolden, Gregory, White are out for Sunday

I broke down a couple blitzes that the Jets threw at the Colts last week, as examples of the kind of stuff Rex Ryan throws out there:
http://davebreaksdow...xy-blitzes.html

[Ed Hillel]

I couldn't tell who it was, but someone on the Jets was interviewed in the locker room and said that this game was "pretty much for a spot in the playoffs." I guess you have to motivate your players and all, but seriously? It's week seven and there is a four-way tie for the division.

Who coaches these guys?

Yeah, because that totally makes up for the fucked-up calls in the Baltimore and Arizona games. I'm STILL pissed about those. The only team that's been comparably screwed by the refs compared to the Pats is the Packers.

If a defense can't keep up with our hurry-up, that's their fucking problem.

The Jets are not as physical as the Pats. That was not the case two years ago. They should run it down the Jets throats and stuff the Jets running game.

[Ed Hillel]

One of the Jets reporters is drunk tweeting to a buddy that Rex Ryan has some super shocking plan for the Patriots on defense tomorrow. Says it's the biggest risk of the Rex era, which is saying something. Any ideas? Thinking Tebow at D End.

[Mystic Merlin]

I know one thing: assuming this plan exists at all, it won't be all that shocking.

This is the same team that claimed it was saving a bunch of secret packages for Tebow until the season started, only to barely use him at all when it came time to back up the hype they created.

But for the hell of it, I'll guess Revis playing in a wheelchair.
