Series History: Patriots vs. Jets

by Marima on Nov 19, 2009 9:15 PM EST Comment 34 comments

A few Pats-Jets Nuggets of Note, courtesy of the New England Patriots Media Department:

May all of the holes appear this big to Laurence Maroney on Sunday.

The Patriots, who fell to the Jets at the Meadowlands, 16-9, on Sept. 20, have not been swept in a season series with a divisional opponent since 2000.

New England owns a 41-12 (.774) record in regular season AFC East games since the beginning of the 2001 season, compiling the best intra-division record of any team in the NFL over the last eight seasons.

Since the beginning of the 2003 season, the Patriots are 20-1 (.952) in games following a regular-season loss, including a 2-0 record in such games this season. Over the last five-plus seasons (2003-09), the Patriots have only lost back-to-back games on one occasion (Nov.5 and Nov. 12, 2006).

STRONG IN THE SECOND HALF
The Patriots have traditionally stepped things up a notch as the calendar has flipped to November. Since 2001, New England has done a remarkable job of finishing the season strong, compiling a 71-18 (.798) record after Nov. 1, including playoff games. Additionally, since 2001, the Patriots are 52-10 (.839) in games played after Thanksgiving Day and are 23-4 (.852) in games played after Christmas.

SERIES HISTORY
The Patriots and Jets will meet for the second time in 2009, with the Patriots looking to avenge the 16-9 loss in Week 2 at the Meadowlands. It will be the 101st meeting since the series between the AFC East rivals began in 1960. The Jets are leading the all-time series with a 50-49-1 advantage. The teams split the season series last season with the Patriots beating the Jets, 19-10, at the Meadowlands and the Jets beating the Patriots, 34-31, in overtime at Gillette Stadium.

The Patriots have won 11 of their last 14 games against the Jets (including one playoff game). The Patriots have swept the season series with the Jets in four of the last six seasons. New England is 20-12 against the Jets since Robert Kraft purchased the team in 1994. New England's 49 victories over the Jets (including two playoff wins) are the second most over any single opponent, trailing only Buffalo with 59 all-time wins.

Tully Banta-Cain will hopefully be back to his quarterback-sacking ways soon.

DIVISIONAL DOMINANCE

RECENT PATRIOTS-JETS GAMES
The Patriots and Jets have played 18 times since 2001, with New England holding a 13-5 advantage in those games. Since 2003, the Patriots are 11-3 against the Jets and have allowed New York to score more than 17 points in a game just two times over that span.

PASSING PERFORMANCES
Tom Brady owns a 12-3 record against the Jets as a starting quarterback including regular-season and playoff games. Brady's 12 overall victories over the Jets are his second highest total over a single opponent, trailing only his 14 wins over the Buffalo Bills.

I'm still trying to figure it out.

I have an appointment with a shrink on Tuesday and a speech therapist on Thursday.

Do We Think this is a Trap Game?

Playing a 4-5 team at home in between two undefeated teams on the road would seem to be a textbook trap game. But is it really? A divisional game and a rivalry game, not to mention the matter of payback for Week 2 against swaggering, cryin’ Rex—and the whole need to bounce back from Sunday’s Indy game.

Seems to me this is not really a trap game after all. What do the rest of you think?

I think Bill B never underestimates his opponents

The only way you could say it might be is they had one extra day off this week. I think the guys appreciate that enough that they are going to work hard in return.

The players you can seperate into veterans and rookies:
Veterans know better, and won’t get pulled into that (we were 1-1 last year, and 0-1 so far this year).
Rookies are 0-1 against the Jets, so they won’t take them for granted.

I think we’re good in that regard. Stopping the run up the middle I’m not worried about. Setting the edge was problematic in the first game, hopefully they’ve improved.

No, not a trap game.

Belichick’s record for bouncing back after a loss is unparalleled. If it was meeting the Jets after a string of wins, it’d seem like it. But there’s more incentive at the moment, it’ll diffuse anything else.

To be fair

the only loss in that 20-1 stat following a win was to the Jets in 06.

But no, divisional games are never trap games.

…the Colts…

This is off-topic, but...

I just have to commend this blog and all its regular writers/commenters. The analysis is always exhaustive, and debates don’t turn into arguments—often a problem on other blogs, where I often feel I can’t disagree without being attacked. I don’t know about the other teams’ blogs, but this one definitely sets the standard. It’s a tremendously enjoyable place to be. MaPatsFan, SMP, Comedic.Sans, Marima, everyone—you’ve done a hell of a job.

Thanks!

Appreciation’s always nice.

I must say far, far more of it has to go to MaPatsFan and Marima and SMP than myself. I haven’t been here that long so I got to inherit an already working system… kinda like any of Belichick’s co-ordinators. Mwahaha. I just get the rings without any of the work. Score.

Really, though. Those three do wonders.

c'mon... don't sell your font short, C.S : )

Thanks LT. Man, I love some of the creative IDs and curious sigs of the commenters here too. That could be a post all to itself some day in the loooooooong off-season.

Keep the faith!

That's the time when you hear crickets chirping around here.

Me? I'm a relative newbie

I read the thing for a year before I joined in. (That definitely helps you get a feel for the board.)

MaPatsFan definitely sets the tone, and Marima is the ever present voice of reason.
The you have JohnHannahRules with excellent articles, and ProfessorTodd’s insights.
Hythlodaeus and Comedic.Sans with foreign perspective.

I’m just here for comic relief.

Don't EVER underestimate the importance of comic relief

(and I thought I knew what a rabbit trail was before you joined up.)

Plus, don’t forget your other vital roles as troll-slapper and newbie guidance counselor.

Troll-slapper and newbie guidance counselor

is everyone’s responsibility. I’m just being a concerned citizen.
