This NE drive to start the 2nd half is huge. Either they will make it a 1 score game or the Jets will stop them and then have a chance to put the game out of reach.

Crumpler dropped a TD too. Game could be 7-7.

i thought that the jets tough aggressive front seven with their great db depth, balanced by their running game and intermediate passing might be enough to pressure the few weaknesses that NE has and has shown so far: Not the greatest run defence and questionmark Oline. we'll see how the last 30 sec play out along with the 2nd half.

LT for president, best receiving back of the last decade, period.

I disagree. He may be pretty good at it when he gets open. But he is not the best receiving back of the decade. Even today was his first in 3 years and ever in the post season. Brian Westbrook is a superior receiving back to LT

and folk missed an easy field goal, missed plays on both sides.

Holy hell what a stop by the Jets d.

[socalwingfan]

For all the grief Sanchez is getting, he has the same number of completions as God's gift to QBing in one less attempt - and 2 TDs

[OILFAN #81]

Jets defense is doing their job. Patriots defense is keeping them in the game as well. It is up to both offenses to take control of the game.

[theonlywhiteout]

Sanchez is managing the game well, and the Jets defence is pounding NE into the ground

[browna]

Sanchez will be the key here...something tells me he's going to get impatient a little bit, and thus, has got an interception in his future.

[OILFAN #81]

Both defenses giving their offenses a chance. Nice stop there from NE.

Jets should just keep pounding the ball. When they do it, it is effective and takes time off the clock. When they get away from it, they are forced to punt.

[rubecube]

Gotta give the Jets their due. They've been the much better team to this point.

[GirlySports]

Brady under so much pressure, great defensive game plan by the Jets

[OILFAN #81]

TD Patriots. Crumpler. 14-9 Jets.

4th quarter should be a dandy.

Jets offense needs some points otherwise they are in huge trouble.

EDIT: 2 point convert..........

good.

14-11 Jets.

[moon]

That was terrible defense on the 2 point conversion.

When Morris was standing so close to Brady someone on the defense should have at least thought of the possibility and stopped the play easily.

[OILFAN #81]

End of the 3rd quarter:

Jets 14, Patriots 11

[DropIt]

Jets are just not taking advantage of their field positions and their defense seems to be doing pretty well and bending, but not breaking. The first series of the 4th Quarter is a big one for NYJ

[OILFAN #81]

Wow, nice answer from the Jets.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I take LaDanian every time. He's more durable, his pedigree, his TD throws, his blocking, his between the tackles running, keeps me on my side.

His numbers don't lie. You may think he only does well when getting open, his YAC and reception numbers alone keep me ensconced in my belief but I say he did more in that decade than marshall faulk and Westbrook. Westbrooks durability really highlights his ranking in this instance.

BTW, Santonio!

[Joborule]

Nice catch

[OILFAN #81]

HOLY hell what a catch!

Jets TD. 21-11. WOW.

Reminds me of the Superbowl catch.

And Sanchez is playing well. He deserves credit.
