That was a much closer game than I expected. Are the Patriots really as bad as they looked last night?

Did you not see Manning's frustration? His receivers are not up to the level he needs them to be. Thankfully the Jets had a backup QB which leveled the playing field.

I can honestly say that I never once saw Manning get frustrated that night.

I'm a jerk and I know it.

But yes, the multiple bad routes and dropped balls didn't help the Pats. On the other hand, that doesn't really change the question: are the Patriots as bad as they looked last night, or was this a one-off?

^ I saw Manning frustrated the entire game.... he floated a pick on the first play!

I think that the fact that the Jets did not have the starting quarterback actually gave them a chance to win this game.

As far as the Pats.... yes they are that bad right now. As time goes on, they will get better, but the next couple of games, or at least until Gronk gets back, this is what you get.

Is there a joke I'm missing?

No, they have to lose. Either Romo will be out of the game after the first proper sack or he will repeatedly throw the ball to men in red.

There's a simple rule to predict Cowboys games: If they are above .500, pick them to lose. If they are below .500, pick them to win. Works most of the time, although during the middle of last season it wasn't a reliable strategy.

O__O never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even when Dallas plays Denver I'm still going to pick Dallas to win.

Picking New England for tonight. Even with all the NE injuries and all the hope in the world the safe pick is the Patriots.

NYJ-NE  2 STL-ATL  2 SD-PHI 1 DAL-KC 1
MIA-IND 1 TEN-HOU 2 WAS-GB  2 CLE-BAL  2
CAR-BUF 1 MIN-CHI  2 NO-TB 1 DET-ARI  1
JAC-OAK 2 DEN-NYG 1
 SF-SEA 2 PIT-CIN CIN by 4

San Diego better not choke again. 

Seattle might lose a game at home for once. It would be sweet.
