Even if we do have a dominating performance on defense, does it mean much? It’s against a rookie QB and a team that isn’t expecting much out of their season (even though it is true Rex gives Brady problems). I mean look at how good the defense “looked” against he Titans last year and then got a wake up call when we faced real QBs. Also how many snaps do you think Boyce will get? I would like to see him use his speed on the seam or the boundary.

Well I guess I’d counter that with how many dominating performances have we seen out of this defense the last three seasons, even against rookie and back-up QBs? Last week’s game was the first time since 2009 that they didn’t give up a 20+ touchdown.

So yeah, expectations are a little low around here, but what would expectations be tonight if we had the defense from 2003-2007? 10 points or less maybe for the Jets.

All I know is that this is the home opener against a rookie quarterback in his first road start. I don’t know what we’ll expect against Peyton or Big Ben or Matt Ryan or any other good veteran QB, but for tonight, I expect to see this defense show us something because this re-build has been going on for five years.

It’s time.

As for Boyce, it will depend on how healthy Dobson is, but I think he could see around 20.

I want to see the defense step up and take control of this game tonight. Will tonight be the break out game for C. Jones?( as far as sacks) I also want to see if the rookie receivers can get some positive plays to build off of as the season gets going. If they don’t will the Pats look to sign a veteran WR? I know they spoke with Lloyd already!

You had me on everything until Lloyd. LOL

But really I am fully all about the defense tonight. I am dying to see a dominating performance out of them and the offense needs them to have one tonight. I am expecting a dominating night out of Chandler Jones… a entering the elite defensive end conversation-type night. Are those expectations too high? Maybe. And we can’t forget about the Jet-killer Rob Ninkovich. 

If the front seven comes to play tonight there’s no reason they can’t hold the Jets under 14 points. That’s what I want.

As for Lloyd, let’s just take our lumps with the rookies now. It will pay off in the long run, unlike bringing Lloyd’s loco crazy back into the fold.
