Burf, it's not "suspect". They've run out of players. In a few
minutes, they'll be playing WRs back there. No, seriously, they ran
out of defensive backs. Why would you NOT pass against a team that
doesn't have their defensive backs?
The Pats entered 2011 with:
CB McCourty
CB Dowling
CB Bodden
SS Chung
FS Meriweather/Sanders
Presently, not a single one of those players is on the field.

Main problem I've seen is the OTs, especially Hunter who's terrible.
With some clever help from the backs and TEs, which probably means
running more tight sets (this spread stuff needs to stop...), the Jets
O should be able to score 2-3 TDs in the second half.
