Oh, no, he's atrocious. My friends & I have a running joke where, every time Brady gets sacked, someone immediately yells out "Damn Matt Light!". And more times than not, he's the reason.

 

This game is going exactly how the Jets want it. What a terrible fake punt try.

 

Good to see Belichick lapsing back into "I'm smarter than everyone else" mode. Worst idea since going for it on 4th-and-short against the Colts.

 

Nantz can't go three plays without having to find something positive about the Patriots.

You can have your QB rating which, especially in the AFC, often means muddy, cold, 15 degree slugfests against Baltimore, Pittsburgh and New England. (Unless, of course, you are the QB who gets to play his home games in climate-controlled conditions in Indianapolis...and has lost 4 of them).

 

Nice move on the fake punt. Really.

 

What an atrocious second quarter here by New England.

 

It's not tennis.

It's not golf.

It's not swimming.

It's not track.

It's not even baseball, where one-on-one matchups are isolated within a team game.

It's football.

And it's not on one guy.

 

No, it's not... but there is a definite tendency here with Manning in January that cannot be ignored.

Would you trust him over Big Ben or Brady in a one game (i.e. playoff) situation?

 

The offense may have woken up. But the Jets' special teams still suck today.
