Last year he was referred to as Man-Genius. This year the names are not so congenial. After calling out his mentor, Bill Belichick, the best words to describe the guy have been: rat, snitch, outlaw, Brutus. Feel free to add more words as you deem fit.
Even with snow and wind in the forecast the Pats have an over abundance of motivation to go out and annihilate the J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets, in their second go around of the season. There should be a disclaimer on this game because it is going to be ugly.
Even though the Jets are still a professional, NFL franchise and capable of beating the Pats, I do not see that happening.
Tom Brady is going to pick apart the Jets defense and find his go-to guys. I would not be surprised to see the Pats put up 42 points even with the weather conditions, but I do think that Laurence Maroney is going to be running on these guys all day. It will be good for Maroney and bad for the Jets. The game will give Maroney the confidence he needs that he can rack up the big yards like the rest of the running backs in the league.
On defense the Pats will still need to step up. They played good defense against the Steelers by not letting Willie Parker break out any big runs. They will need to do this again tomorrow with Thomas Jones in the backfield. Stop Jones and put the ball in Kellen Clemens’s hands. Clemens might be better than Chad Pennington but he ranks up there with Kyle Boller and Joey Harrington. (On the bright side, fans at Gillette will have a field day with his name. Any relation to Roger? His name does begin with a “K.”)
With snow and wind in the weather forecast, I foresee Maroney running for one touchdown, Brady to Moss for three, Brady to Welker for one and Brady runs in one for his second of the year. Brady ties Manning’s touchdown record at 49 with a 39-point victory over the hapless Jets.
PATRIOTS 42
Jets 3
