Bam: The Colts have faltered and don't appear to be a threat to make the playoffs but the Patriots on the other had seem to be the favorite to win it all this year... again. With Tom Brady at the helm it seems that there is only one outcome for them and that is the playoffs. Beating who many thought to be a title contender by 42 points, or 15 times their score, the Jets no longer seem to be the impermeable force that they were as late as last week. No fourth quarter magic, No scoring at all really, and the Patriots defense emerges looking like that of old holding what many thought to be a dangerous offense to only 3 points. This is not just a big victory for the regular season, this is the start of a rekindled blood feud that raged long before Mark Sanchez ever put on pads for USC and the cheating college powerhouse known as the Trojans.
Among the best parts of the victory was that there was no jovial press conference after from Rex Ryan who has had a lot to smile about. Coming into this game were two teams with identical records both of which looking to prove their validity as the AFC favorite. Given the outcome we know who the clear favorite is and that though the Jets remain a powerhouse in the conference there is no match for Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. This domination by the Patriots will set up one of the best post season games in history if the Jets are able to fend off the Ravens for the Wild Card spot in the AFC.
