The Real Thing Patriots Podcast

The New York Jets have been one of the sneaky-surprising stories of the young NFL season, defying predictions of tanking and reeling off 3 victories in a row to sit at a surprisng 3-2 on the season.  That puts them in a [relatively meaningless] October tie for first place in the AFC East with the New England Patriots, but division titles are well down the road with the Pats not yet playing one of their scheduled six division games.   So where do your New England Patriots sit after the first 5?  What lessons can be pulled from the TNF win against the Bucs?  And what parts of that goofy mid-week game should be ignored?   Matt Chatham does his usual thorough review of the Patriots popular outstanding issues--from protection, to coverage, to scheme choices moving forward.  What's real in these areas, and what's not?   Chatham also dissects the new-look New York Jets, and what to expect as the Patriots look to pin one on their rivals to get a jump on another division crown.   Thanks for checking out the show..
