I agree, I believe that against the Jets the Patriots can achieve 70 points if they tried.

[Kid Vicious]

Everyone just assumes the Jets will roll over and die against the Pats.

They BEAT the Steelers!

I'm sure they can hold the Patriots to the same scores as everyone else (high 40's, low 50's).

aren't the Jets going to start a rookie at QB?

Belichick is going to release hell on him.

[APerna]

I hope a majority of this thread turns out to be a moot point, but i'll have one eye on the pats for the rest of the season. my eagles damn near ended that first statistic.

I'm a very superstitious fan, and I hope you've jinxed New England, Harry10

Moss and Brady are still on pace for the TD records, rating is still okay, but the completions took a huge hit. Pats didn't do anything special, but atleast they where still able to keep on pace against an elite defense.

[Boston's Future]

Doesn't Stephen Gostowski only need like 6 more PATS to break the single season record for most PATs in a season?

[deeney0]

What about most points by a team in a season?

Pats: 468
1998 Minnesota Vikings, 556

Or is it just a given they will average 22 ppg over the last 4?

[Manhattan Project]

Honestly I doubt the Pats are really going to "BLOW" out the Jets, I really do. Its not me being a homer at all, we just are going to play with pride in that game. We held the tandem of Romo/Owens in check, we held the Steelers in check and our defense is really coming along.

I dont think the Jets will win, but we will not get BLOWN out.

If the cowboys average slightly over 40 points a game they could break it too. But I doubt that happens. Not that its out of the question given the remaining schedule (Detroit, Philly, Carolina, Washington) but I wouldnt say probable.

Id say Romo tying Mannings record is a slightly safer bet but again I dont think its exactly probable. He has 33 so hed need to average 4 a game. Over the last 5 weeks hes had 3,4,4,2,4
He should have had 5 last week but TO lateraled the ball to Al Harris for that interception.

If TO averages 150 yds a game he can break Jerry Rices single season receiving yards record. (Moss would need 180 per game for that)

Brady needs 29 completions per game to tie Rich Gannons record of 418 in a season. (Drew Brees would need 23.5 per game)

You guys lost to the Cowboys 34-3.

I guess so. However theres a few things you left out,
Romo threw 2 tds and had a 75% completion percentage, when youre up by that much theres not a lot of passing touchdown opportunities. (Not to mention a 102.5 qb rating really isnt bad by any means). And Romo banged up his hand in the first half.

Yeah but our team was flat, it was evident. Owens did not do his usual damage against us, Revis has been that impressive. Newman returned an interception on us and they had great field position all game long.

Barber had a great game against us no doubt. However Romo was taking what was given to him, we werent letting them beat us with the big plays. Its was like a Pennington efficient type game.

Washington had a killer fumble, Clemens had a killer interception. Bottom line is that they man handled us in that game, but we look different now.

Also, touchdowns by a team in a season

Pats: 59
1984 Dolphins: 70



I'd love to see how the Pats compare to some of the other top offenses in terms of "% of total points score in the NFL this season" or some other statistic that compensates for the quality, and/or lack thereof, of defenses in different eras.

Pats are still going to play the Jets and Dolphins :clap:

anyway, the Pats don't need to blow out the Jets, at worst they just need to stay on pace, 2TDs for Brady and 1TD for Moss.... that sounds reasonable for any team NE has to face.

but aren't the Jets starting a rookie QB? you don't think Belichick is salivating over that match up? and aren't the Jets going to play at NE?

Huge game for Brady, 4 TDs, two of them going to Moss. rating still looks good, but the completions is a big concern. Brady is going to have to get some 80% games if he wants to get that.

....... Dolphins are just two weeks away!

[Harry10]

Well, they both got it.

i'm bumbed that Brady didn't get the completion record. i thought if he got that and the TD record, it would have shot him passed Elway, Marino, and Montana as the greatest. i still think he is, but it just leaves with room for discussion.

Tom Brady

398 578 68.9 4806 8.32 69 50 8.7 8 1.4 117.2

Peyton Manning

336 497 67.6 4557 9.17 80 49 9.9 10 2.0 121.1

Take your pick.

Brady did it in an open stadium, but he knew exactly what he had to get to break the record. More TDs, more Yards, less INTs, more attempts and better completion percentage.

Manning did it in a dome, but didnt hav the benefit of breaking his own record (also had less oppertunities based on coaching philosophies). He still has the highest QB rating ever.

[sunshinekids99]

I'm not sure I understand the QB rating to be honest. Better completion % to Brady, 300 more yards, 1 more TD, 2 less INT's. Yet lower QB rating.
