ganesh

Not true because the prior regimes did not prepare their backups to think about being starters and did not coach them up. They were still back ups on the field. I think that is a key difference between the current staff and prior staff. Gailey did not even attempt to play Jackson or Thigpen in the season final when we were already out of the playoff race. At least he could have seen what they were capable.

And he has already come out and said the same thing. He mentioned that he made the same mistakes that he did in his rookie season. He also mentioned that he needed to trust his OL and be patient and hit the holes.

I guess people want their cake and eat it too!!!

Baloney. If you don't make the play, you are giving the ball back to Tom Brady close to mid-field. It just takes him a few plays to get the Patriots to FG position to take the lead. You can't simply second guess the coaching decisions.

how about the NE defense being good against the run

I think Hackett has to been given some leeway only because this is his first NFL game and also his young rookie QB was out for the past 3 1/2 weeks.

That is what Hines Ward, Troy Brown give for their young QBs. Sadly Stevie is not even in the same league. Look to see Woods get more passes thrown towards him next week.

I am sure you will get it at the Stadium and/or Stadium Pro Shop

That is not what coach Marrone is expecting. He is expecting his team to play at a high level and win games. There is talent on this team and they would need to perform to their expectations. I don't care what Geno Smith does.

It is probably cheaper to fly into Buffalo or Toronto for the game than driving to Arizona !

I think Sanchez had wonderful post-seasons. He made plays in those post-season games. It was not always the defense. As other posters have suggested, the Jets blew themselves by not re-signing those talented running backs and gave his no WR targets. Sanchez is a system QB and can excel when the support cast is good.

It is Sunday morning 7:30 AM already where I live!...15 hours to Kickoff!!!

EJ will make a name for himself on that list.

Disagree. While it is Brady behind the line throwing the ball, he still has had success only with some extremely talented receivers. He has struggled with the no-names. Hoping today is one such day.

Completely agree...and at this time of the season the Special Teams are not so special. It is a good time to take one back to the house...Just can't imagine how that crowd will be if we started the season with a KR for TD!!

+1 Go Bills! Can't wait this suspense...

It will be interesting to see how this board is going to be when the following results happen on Sunday. Bills - W, Jets - L - Board - Glad Bills made the right choice in picking EJ ahead of Geno. Bills - L, Jets - W - Board - I told you so....EJ sucked and will suck...They should have picked Geno. Jets will have the last laugh Bills - L Jets - L - Board - This years QBs suck. We need to get the 1st pick next year for Bridgewater Bills - W Jets W Board - I am glad the Bills got EJ and the Jets got Geno....Both are winners!

Considering that they have been using these chips for Running now for over a decade.

The Patriots always kill the Bills by running the football and stopping the run. I wish the day comes where we can do that to them and don't need to depend on the arm of the QB.

I hope some of the local reporters can shed light on how EJ's team mates perception of EJ. If the players believe in EJ, I think we have a chance.

I am glad you made sure to include that...otherwise, this board will erupt and turn this into a Ralph is cheap thread again!

In 10 seasons, our offense has never figured out Vince Wilfork. I hope it changes today.
