Last Sunday's Patriots game was too lose for comfort.  In my opinion, the offense didn't go into the game with a very good game plan and luckily had more points than the Jets when time expired.  Had the clock had a few more ticks left in it, there's no telling what would have happened.   I'm hoping Josh McDaniels has a better plan for tonight's contest.  This is what I think we need for a convincing win.

Having relied on listening to the game while working, here are my initial thoughts.

Today the Patriots take on their sometime rival Jets for first place in the AFC East.  This is what they need to do to remain undefeated.

Tomorrow the Patriots play the Jets in Foxboro.  The winner of the game will be in first place in the AFC East.  Should the Patriots win, they would still be undefeated on the season and have a 2 game lead on the Jets.  If the Jets were to escape New England with a victory, they would technically be in first because of head-to-head games.  While I do anticipate another Patriots victory and will give you my keys to the game tomorrow morning, here are my reasons for why the Patriots should run against the Jets.

Having coached the New York Jets for the previous five years, Rex Ryan is now the man in charge of Buffalo.  Now leading Gang Green is another defensive specialist Todd Bowles.  With the Jets being one of the top defensive teams in the NFL this season, I thought I'd do a quick comparison between both teams while also seeing how they both compared to last year's units.
