The fanbase can breathe.īut if they fail, and the Jets win, waves of outside panic will flood Foxboro. The hysteria currently sweeping New England will subside for at least a week. If the Pats play to an even turnover margin at worst, commit no more than six penalties and never leave the red zone without points, they will jump to 1-2. “That’s the supreme attention to detail, and we’ve got to be really locked in on that.” “This weekend, and continuing as the season goes, ball security is one of the biggest things,” Pats tight end Hunter Henry said Wednesday. Sunday’s game now becomes a referendum on them, their competence and ability to execute safe, fundamental football.
That was it! Belichick’s comments didn’t even rise to the football equivalent of “she’s got a great personality.” (That for Belichick, by the way, is “ he can make all the throws.”)īecause the Patriots recognize so long as Wilson touches the ball every snap, they should win. Mac Jones taking simplistic approach in attempt to turn Patriots around This is all of the praise Belichick could summon for Wilson on Wednesday: “Really athletic quarterback. Take it from Bill Belichick, who makes equal habits of burying his opponents in verbal bouquets as he does studying their film. And he’s graded as the league’s fourth-worst passer per PFF.īut forget the stats. He’s committed the second-highest percentage of turnover-worthy plays among quarterbacks, according to Pro Football Focus. He’s tossed two touchdowns to four picks. Through two weeks, Wilson owns the NFL’s worst passer rating. And so long as they continue to start Wilson, an all-time bust, the Jets will be hard-capped as an average team with turnover problems.
The Jets may have beaten Buffalo in their season opener, but they owed that win to Josh Allen’s flawless Zach Wilson impression (236 yards, 3 INTs). (AP Photo/John Minchillo)Īnd oddsmakers agree, installing the Pats as 2.5-point road favorites. But you know who deserves your confidence even less? New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (2) avoids a tackle from New England Patriots linebacker Matthew Judon (9) during the first quarter of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. All they’ve established is they are error repeaters with minimal offensive explosion, a bad offensive line and a defense that starts slowly. At 0-2, the Patriots do not deserve your confidence that they will steamroll the Jets.
