Just got back from the game.
Jets fans are the most obnoxious group of fans ever. They kept picking fights with everyone. The whole game I kept hearing Jets fans telling everyone to STFU and that Brady is a pussy. Cripes, why would you even say that stuff in the opposing team's stadium?
It was a dissapointing loss, but I am not suprised.
Lets put this season is prespective. If you were to tell me that this team would finish with a 14-2 record, i would have laughed in your face. Down the final stretch, they played near perfect football and had everyone believing they were a team that they were not. I truly thought this team would end up at 9-7, 10-6 if they were lucky, but not 14-2. They had me fooled, however. In reality, they lucked out in with snowy Chicago. They just barely got passed Green Bay, and yeah, the Jets beat them earlier in the year. Also, they struggle against the Ravens. The issue, this is the playoffs. Your record only maters enough to get you in. Once you're in, you are 0-0.
To put it simple, I'm not sure what went wrong. Statistically, the Pats were due for turnovers. Brady threw how many passes without an INT? he is bound to throw one sooner or later. The Pats rarely fumble the ball? Well, yeah, they have not lately, so they were due. All this and they were playing one of the top D's in the league. That said, the first two drives, Brady was almost in cruise control, but they only had 3 points to show for it. Suddenly, things just stopped after. Also, I am not sure why, in the 4th quarter, they kept going with running plays when they were down by 10. This is a pass first offense, not a run first. Danny Woodhead is good, but you are not really supposed to give him back to back to back carries. Also, suprisingly enough, the defense did its job. They kept the Pats in the game. I have to hand it to hat young D. It was no the D that lost this game.
Overall, good game plan defensively by the Jets, but against Pitts, you need a better game plan offensively to win.
Here is to the Packers!
