Goes to show you the importance of coaching. If Bill had the D talent we had in 2017, he would have won a super bowl by doing nothing but kneeling down and punting on offense so the defense could get back on the field.

Todd WARSH would have the current Patriots D as a middle of the pack defense, at best.

Well maybe...

Pats play more man coverage than any team in the league.
In 2018 they ran man 56% of the time. But were ranked 24th against the pass.

They are still at close to 50 this year from what I heard but their pass rush has gotten better than last years.
And they've played softest schedule so far, I think.

Wash catches a lot of flack and for good reason, but most teams don't run man more than 25-30% of the time.

Jets still angry about last season. They just got embarrassed on national TV. Jags didn’t play their best against potentially the worst team in the NFL and they only scored one offensive TD in that game.

I’m not saying the Jags are gonna lose but I think this game is really close.

I know what you mean. I cant tell if they are going to be broken or looking to punch someone in the mouth.

I think back to that game we had against them in 2017 too. That was in New York and we were the better team but we just kept giving up big plays. They had a long run where the RB went down and wasnt touched and Lee blew a punt return. We ended up finding a way to lose that one but I think we should win this one.

Yeah... everyone thought Vikes would roll last night.
It was a fairly close game because the bad teams defense will keep em in it.

Same thing here. And Skins lost Keenum at half...
Darnold>Haskins

I think Jets D keeps it super close. Too close for fans comfort.
24-17 ish
