NFL 2015 Week 7 |OT| - A Fraud Swings His Gate

Incredibly Naive
Not to mention Elderrman Droped TD pass, and the offense overall dropping 11 passes.

Its the nature of sports. Both sides deal with injuries, execution, and a little bit of luck. The pats injury report is more serious than it looks given it's not actually affecting many skill players at the moment. Solder and cannon are starting LT most important position on the line, and now they have been forced to rotate vollmer, one of the best rt in the league, to Lt crippling their run game and lessening his impact. Meanwhile the line is out of sync and Brady is rushed more than usual.

On top of this 2 of bradys top 3 weapons are injured. Edelman has had something like 7 drops in the past 2 weeks all coning directly after inuring his ring finger. DA has taken his targets effectively, but he's not as talented and it changes the game plan. In the past 2 weeks he's lost the pats 14 points due to injury. The pick 6 and today the dropped td. Lewis who has been perfect for the pats filling that hole vereen left and even outperforming vereen, was out once again drastically changing the game plan.

Add in sheard who PFF has as their best on the front 4 and it's shown. He's fantastic against the run and really effective in creating pressure when working alongside chandler. Ivory was clearly hobbled, but they were losing the battle upfront as it was the majority of the time. The pats couldn't stop decker for shit, the jets couldn't adjust so they lost. Had the pats had their o line and top weapons this year healthy, it likely would not have been close.

Running to beat the Patriots is a bullshit misconception. You beat the Pats by whipping the ball 40+ times a game on there shit secondary they usually have every year. When they don't have a shit secondary, you're just shit out of luck and they win the Superbowl.

Odd that Fitz threw it 39 times, Ivory hobbled to 41 yards, and the Jets lost. Attempting to go shot for shot with the Pats rarely works, especially if your defense isn't good. Had the Jets been able to establish the run like they have pretty much all season, the game would have been lower scoring, probably even closer than it was, simply because it means Brady sees the field less often and you keep the worst part of their team on the field. Didn't happen, Pats won business as usual I suppose.

It's not your fault.

Don't be upset. You'll have a chance in a few years during the next Clique Bowl.

This is what happens when you don't accept animu into your heart.

I didn't realize that Chandler Jones is now tied for the league lead in sacks with 6.5, along with Michael Bennett and Carlos Dunlap, and he did it in one fewer game.
