The Patriots made the Jets look like turkeys Sunday with a 31-14 win at home.  And afterwords I heard Rex Ryan will be crying on Oprah’s show sometime soon.
Quarterbacks:
Tom Brady tied a franchise record with his fifth straight 300 yard game.  Looked comfortable in the pocket all game, even against heavy blitzes in the second half.  Drove the dagger into the Jets early with three straight scores after New England jumped to a 7-0 lead courtesy of Leigh Bodden.  My Grade: A

In fact, the Patriots didn’t score a touchdown for the first time since 2006 when they played the Miami Dolphins, which was Tom Brady’s last regular season loss. 
Perhaps frustrating is the best word to describe the game, or at least the look on his face as he stood on the sidelines, unable to control any aspect of the game as his defense consistently gave up first down after first down. It was not the Tom of old, or even the Tom we saw last week against the Bills when he engineered two touchdown passes in less than three minutes. No, that Tom Brady didn’t seem to get on the plane to New York this weekend. There were shimmers of his greatness – he did finish with a respectable 216 yards – but his passes lacked their typical laser precision. He [...]
