Now... We've got Rex and his defense. Rex has proclaimed it is him vs
BB. He's working with everything he's got to come up with a game
plan. Many commentators, including some fans in this very group are
now calling Rex a blow-hard and a buffoon.
Well... Since Rex is going up against what the experts are calling the
best offense, the best coach and the best QB ever...
We'll all get to see now what Rex is and what he is not. Nothing
short of the best defensive mind in history could defeat this world
beating offfense.
Lets see if Rex has the head for it.
imho, making the pats offense uncomfortable does not mean wholesale
blitzing. nor does it mean a passive max coverage approach. it means
being a different defense on each and every series. that is how you
mess them up.

And while I am not holding my breath, getting two or more turnovers and
making none would help too.
I don't think we can win without winning the turn over battle.
With so few NE turnovers, that might be the only thing that could rattle
them.

Don't forget to add *asterisks* to denoting the NFL's preference that
certain QB's usage of Tom Brady panty shields, replacing the tried and true
Peyton Manning maxi-pads.
Nothing accomplished under the league's ever evolving guidelines will ever
tarnish the records established by men that did not wear skirts.

Burford was right on. The longer the Jets offense is on the field Brady's
opportunities to score are severely restricted. In addition, your defense
remains fresh while their opponent's D does not.
Both the Jets and Ravens demonstrated this in the second halves of each of
their respective games last week. The Jets had a great and critical 10
minute time consuming drive.
The Ravens limited the Chiefs to 68 seconds of possession time in the 4th
quarter, 18 minutes in the game overall, while dominating 41 minutes on the
offensive side of the ball. There isn't an NFL team and QB in history that
could win a game under those circumstances.

Really? The last time the Dolphins played the Colts, the Dolphins had
the ball for almost 45 minutes. Go and check who won that game.
Your conclusion is BS.
Giants Fan here.
I never buy the "due" premise. I've been due to date a super model
for about 45 years, now.;-)
JMO, but the Jets did so many things wrong in the December game,
they're probably confusing themselves trying not to make the same
miscues. Remember Rex thought he had a good game plan going into that
big game.
Mid 20's game time temps don't favor the Jets passing game.
