New England Patriots vs. New York Jets thread

Assani,
If you think they have a 20-25% chance of winning after halftime you absolutely can not pass up that kind of edge.

[Jack of Arcades]

Well, let's see. There was that pass in the end zone that if he throws it even 2 inches better they have 4 more points. There's that sideline route that he threw out of bounds when he had a receiver wide open. There's that post route Daniel Graham ran that he threw 2 feet high and into double coverage. There's that quick out route Rhodes dropped.

EDIT: Peyton Manning completed 79% of his passes, so clearly you can't criticize him for throwing any bad passes.

If Ty Law drops any of those two passes Peyton throws right at him, you still crucify him. When Brady has two picks dropped, you ignore it. That's all you do - use arguments when they're convenient to you and ignore them when they aren't. The Seahawks are a bad team because they've been outscored by 11 points (15th in the league, 2nd worse in the playoffs), yet the Jets who have a point differential of 21 (12th in the league, 3rd worse in the playoffs) are just a "smart team" that plays games close.

Pennington's passes seem to defy gravity. They stay in the air much longer than they should given that they are travelling a weak-ass 30 mph. They are like Luigi in SMB 2.

If I think the Jets have a 20% chance of winning then 4-1 would be the perfectly correct odds, no? If you go to my high end of 25% then I'm getting a slightly profitable bet. I hardly see why that would be something I couldn't pass up.

Yes, 20% is breakeven. However, if they have a 25% chance of winning, your ROI would be 25%, which isn't slightly profitable.

leave it to assani to break down a brilliant satire into a long-winded critique post.

Because at halftime people were offering you much better than 4 to 1, and then you said you'd only take 4 to 1 when the Jets HAVE THE BALL AND ARE TIED OR WINNING.



That's like me saying "The Pats are so good but I will only bet on the pats at even odds if they are winning." It's just retarded.

very big sack

Nice 3rd down playcalling to bring them back into field goal range.
