Hey Alexa, play 98.7 ESPN.

The Jets have to show something. If you're not going to beat New England at home, then who are you beating? And I'm saying New England is bad.

But New England has a good defense. They have obviously the greatest head coach of all time. The bottom line is they are beatable. They are not the New England Patriots with Tom Brady and Rob Grunkowski. They're not that team. They're a beatable team. You should be able to beat them.

And if you don't, I think that is really, really troubling for the Jets and the remainder of the season.

And I believe it's 14 Michael. Is it 14? Yeah, it goes back to that. The last time they beat the Patriots was in overtime the week before they lost a buffalo in their season ended. So that was 2015.

And that was the game that balls lost that they beat buffalo. They would have gotten to the price of 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. That's seven years, play him twice. That's 14. Yeah, thank you.

That's just incredible. Unless the Patriots were very good during that period of time. And the Jets have not been very good, but seven years without beating the New England Patriots. And now is the time like we said the Robert Salah.

He could talk about that it's a fan thing. It's got to be inside that room too. You don't want to be owned by anybody. And there's always going to be a thing between the Jets and the Patriots. And even though the Patriots aren't very good and they're not winning a championship this year.

To continue to own you is just going to be something that's going to hang on this team. It'll be same old Jets. They'll be one and two with a loss at home to the Patriots. Same old Jets.

Do you realize that in the 14 games and I'm rounding off for simplicity. The Patriots have averaged 30 points a game and the Jets have averaged 10.

And I think if the Jets I mean done you seem like it's going to be one of your picks. Yeah, I think the only way they win this game.

The game that they lost it over time. It's got to be that sort of game. Low scoring and their defense going up the window. They can't give up a you know a walkoff you know punt return. But that's the only way they're not going to win a game.

I don't think they're going to win a game 24 to 8 24 to 10. They're not. They're just not going to do it.

I don't think that they're capable of scoring more than I don't know what 14 points like what's their ceiling. You know 14 17 something like that.

Now I think their defense can wreak havoc on everything that New England is going to try to do. But will they be able to score because Bella check loves to get in the heads of these young quarterbacks.

And he does things at him and he does seem to work and cause turnovers. But I just think the Jets have a lot of talent. They'll.

I don't think New England is very good overall. Their defense lets them hang around in games. But their own to both their losses came at home.

So I don't I think there are very average football team. But the way the NFL is now with three wild cards and four divisions that average play.

Don't you think the Jets are an average team? Yes, because of the quarterback situation. Right.

The game is at home. And I I just think that they they'll match up well enough to figure out a way to win because if you're not beating the Patriots.

And then you're then I'm then I'll be wrong that I don't think they can hang with enough teams to be able to keep this season relevant.
