Game Time - Pats vs. Jets

I'm excited but nervous about the game. I don't know what Rex Ryan was thinking about for the last game between these teams. Their game plan, coming out in the shotgun and focusing on the passing game, was absurd. If I'm the Jets, I focus on running the ball, especially in multiple receiver formations. Force the Patriots to stop the run from passing formations and pass just enough to keep the Patriots defense from keying solely on the run. It doesn't seem like a difficult game plan to come up with.

For the Pats, contain the Jets running game and force Sanchez to throw on third down. On offense, give Brady time to read and dissect the Jets defense. Use Woodhead and the tight ends and score early to force the Jets to play catch up.

For the record, there are almost a hundred Pats fans in the back room at Spitfire here in Seattle.

Go, Pats!
