I am a life time Patriots fan and all I have to say after watching this game is:

STICK A FORK IN THEM, THEY ARE DONE!

Good riddance, man. Cheer for some other team who more closely follows your fine sensibilities.

Give credit to the Jets for damn near pulling this off. Not one of us Patriot’s fans thought they were capable of a game like this.

Tom Brady came through when it counted this time, but dude has been looking very Sanchez-ish this year, over throwing and underthrowing receivers, throwing more balls away, more INT’s than we’re used to seeing from him. C’mon Tom, this ain’t YOU!

That secondary seems to have forgotten that their first job is to COVER PEOPLE. When was the last time you’ve seen a secondary concistently have so many open receivers like this???

The defense sucks, yes, but they sucked last year too and got progressively better. Let’s see how this group plays in December before we panic.

The 2012 Patriots look like a very confused team on BOTH sides of the ball.

That said, the Pat’s are 4-3. 2-0 in the division. Take a look at the rest of the schedule and tell me who, other than the texans, really scares you? 13-3 is not totally out of the question yet, and that’s a damn good season right there.

Speaking of Houston, though they’re 6-1, I’m still not convinced they’re what everyone thinks they are. Check back in Week 13 to see if they truly have the staying power to remain the AFC Cream of the Crop. They were 10-6 last year, remember?

The 2012 NFL season has been as surprising a year for many teams as I can remember in a while …. making things very interesting.

Offensively, I think the changes on the line have really disrupted Brady’s rhythm and confidence because you could see him ducking even when he wasn’t under pressure and he almost always had Jets in his face…We need Mankins to get healthy and in the next draft I think priority should be on a bigtime guard and/or center and CB…Better line = better protection for Brady and better running lanes for the running game

A win is a win and I’ll take it but I wasn’t at all impressed with how we played and luckily there’s still time to get better but so far this team has been mediocre at best

Makes me think that ‘life’ may well consist of single digit years.

Why throw at Lloyd 8 times when Welker is being covered by a LB? Lloyd seem to catch acrobatic catches better than the easy ones.. thats a problem Mr. Lloyd!!

STICK A FORK IN THEM, THEY ARE DONE!

How can they let a team like the Yets come back with just minutes left in the game, then let them go ahead, get lucky to put it into OT then have to rely on a defense that is at best mediocre to win the game?

This team is not going anywhere if they continue to play like this.

Give kudo’s to the Jets for fighting hard. The officals were generous to them on a few occasions, but even after them, the Patriots still had the chance to stop them, but didn’t.

And Tom Brady is done. He obviously has some kind of fear in him that he has never had before. Not staying in the pocket and taking a hit to complete the pass use to be his calling card. Now he is afaid of being hit, runs away whenever a defender comes near him then throws the ball away in a panic. The boy is done. I believe he is thinking more of his modeling career than his football career.

They should not loose another game between now and December 1oth when they have a tough match up. If they do loose another between now and then and somehow make the play offs, they will not deserve it. If they do as they should and not loose any in that timeframe, win at least half in a blow out, then I have some hope, otherwise, forget it… stick that fork in them.

Then something happened that should be viewed as very positive. TB took charge and made some tremendous throws to tie the game and win it in OT. They could have won it in the 4th quarter if Lloyd makes a play on a great throw by Brady. Same could be said for Branch in OT. This was a big divisional win for the Patriots. They will build off this win and beat the Rams to go 5-3 into the bye week.

I find it funny that people are lauding the Giants for almost blowing the game against Bob and the Redskins. Who played better in that game, Eli or Bob? What matters most is the scoreboard. It wasn’t pretty nor dominating but it was a victory for the Patriots and as a fan I’m happy about the end result; especially after what happened against the Ravens, Cardinals, and Seahawks.

I don’t think the Patriots are as good as people think. Their secondary is terrible. The Houston Texans are definitely a more well rounded team.

Plus Tom Brady is still great but he definitely looks less mobile than ever and the velocity on his deep throws is not what it once was. Saw Aaron Rodgers in the early game and the velocity on his throws compared to Brady is like Randy Johnson to Jamie Moyer. Just telling the truth.

I’m a pretty open-minded Pats fan. I definitely see the points you’re making. We have such promising pieces in place, but they can’t seem to put it together like the Texans have. If they were the opponent this Sunday, I’d see no reason to think we’d come out on the winning end if we continue to play this way.

BUT, the Brady longball thing is off, in my opinion. Brady in 2007 didn’t have as good a deep ball as Aaron Rodgers. He was also never mobile outside the pocket. Inside the pocket, he’s still a f’n magician, in my opinion. Lloyd dropped a couple beautiful deep passes today. Bradyesque deep passes — not Rodgersesqe.

These guys are going to give me a frickin’ heart attack, ovah heyah!!

The Jets ARE a good team. Despite what happened last year, the Jets did go to two AFC Championships consecutively. Also they should of dropped the hammer on Santonio Holmes as he threw everybody under the bus at the end of last season, LT even hinted that as part of the reason why he retired yet said great things about Rex.

P.S Not a Jets fan.

They are a full on 50-55 minute team.

It is incredible how often with a 2 score lead and under 5 to play you KNOW the game is still going to be a nail biter.

Defense folds up, offense goes 3 and out, defense gives up the go ahead, game over.

Luckily the Jets are so terrible they couldn’t fully exploit that weakness and actually blew a game they had no business losing with under 2 to play and the ball.
