Brutal. Atrocious. As bad as you can get.New York Jets coach Adam Gase had plenty of ways to describe the team's 30-14 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday Jarrett Stidham NFL Jersey , and few solutions to the problem."That's what we're going to look at over the bye week," he said after his offense was shut out by the defending Super Bowl champions. "Never thought I'd say 'Week 4 bye week, I'm glad it's here.' But we've got a lot of things to address."How bad was the Jets offense?They crossed midfield only once, on the first drive, when they made it to the New England 49 before the first of six consecutive punts — every full possession in the first half. They only broke the streak when third-string quarterback Luke Falk threw an interception to open the third quarter.They went 0 for 12 on third-down conversions, with half of them coming from third-and-10 or longer; they failed to convert on their only fourth-down attempt as well. The good news, of sorts: They covered the 21-point spread, thanks to one touchdown on defense and one on special teams."Offensively, we were atrocious. As bad as you can get Jarrett Stidham NFL Draft ," Gase said. "We just couldn't get any positive plays going."The Jets have next week off before facing the Eagles, Cowboys and Patriots again. No. 1 quarterback Sam Darnold, who has missed the last two games with mononucleosis, has said he hopes to be back for the game against Philadelphia.Backup Trevor Siemian started last week's 23-3 loss to Cleveland, but lasted only one full quarter before he was lost for the season with ligament damage in his ankle. Falk completed 20 of 25 passes for 198 yards against the Browns, and there was hope that after a full week of snaps with the first-team offense he might be even better.But the New England defense put an end to that.Falk completed 12 of 22 passes for 98 yards, and also threw an interception that defensive back Devin McCourty had time to wait under . New York's other touchdown came when New England punt returner Gunner Olszewski muffed a punt and Arthur Maulet recovered it in the end zone."It was a hard lesson to learn," Falk said. "When playing a team like that, you can't have errors."The Jets were also missing linebackers Jordan Jenkins (calf) and C.J. Mosley (groin) Jarrett Stidham Buffalo Bills Jersey , along with defensive lineman Quinnen Williams (ankle) and receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring).Gase said he wasn't worried about his team's morale."That's a good group of guys. You don't have to worry about them," he said. "That's the last thing I am worried about. ... You know, as far as personality-wise goes, they are all going to fight together. If you were in that locker room after the game, you would understand. NOT THEM AGAIN!Sorry America — at least outside of New England — but the team you love to hate is headed back to the Super Bowl.Sure, there are negatives to point out with these Patriots. They haven’t looked much more than mediocre on the road. Their defense is vulnerable, especially against dynamic passers, and Kansas City certainly has one of those in Patrick Mahomes.New England’s coaching staff tends to take away an opponent’s biggest threat. Who is that with the Chiefs, though? Mahomes has Tyreek Hill Color Rush Byron Cowart Jersey , Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins as dangerous targets. He has a running game that hasn’t really missed Kareem Hunt since he was released.Oh yeah, Tom Brady also is 41. At times, he’s looked it this season.And there are so many positives to list, especially when the Patriots (12-5) get this far. Such as being to eight Super Bowls with Brady at quarterback, winning five. Such as their superb demolition of the Chargers, an opponent many thought was the most balanced team in the postseason; though the Chargers’ defense looked from the outset as if it wanted no part of frigid Foxborough.Oh yeah, Brady is 41. He’s seen pretty much everything, and will particularly like the looks of the spotty pass coverage Kansas City (13-4) provides.The entire environment seems to work for New England.“Yeah, I think this team thrives on it Youth Byron Cowart Jersey ,” receiver Phillip Dorsett says. “Obviously, there’s no elephant in the room, we’re 3-5 on the road and everybody is going to criticize us for that. We’ve got our backs against the wall and we’ve just got to go out there and play our best game. That’s the only thing that really matters.”It also matters that Chiefs coach Andy Reid rarely outsmarts the Patriots. Indeed, Reid’s only Super Bowl trip was spoiled by New England when it beat Reid’s Eagles for the 2004 title. Reid is 2-6 vs. the Patriots, and lost 43-40 on Oct. 14 at Gillette Stadium.The Chiefs are 3-point favorites, which accounts for the home-field edge. Except in the upcoming arctic conditions, and with the pedigree of the Patriots, this is a matchup Kansas City won’t win.UPSET SPECIAL: PATRIOTS,27-23Los Angeles Rams (plus 3) at New Orleans SaintsA 45-35 shootout victory for Drew Brees and the Saints on Nov. 4 came in the Superdome. These two have a return matchup Sunday to get to the Super Bowl Womens Byron Cowart Jersey , and with all their firepower, this one could come down to one factor: experience.That edge clearly falls to the hosts. New Orleans (14-3) has been a postseason regular since coach Sean Payton and Brees hooked up in 2006. This is the Saints’ third NFC championship appearance — a loss at Chicago in January 2007, an overtime win over Minnesota at home three years later. The Saints won the Super Bowl that season, as well.Los Angeles (14-3) had the only unanimous member of the All-Pro team, defensive tackle Aaron Donald. And the Saints lost key DT Sheldon Rankins to a torn Achilles tendon last weekend. Still, this side of the ball looks like a wash.The site of this game is more critical than in the AFC. The way the Superdome rocks can be disruptive to opponents, and uplifting to the homies. Just look at the Saints’ win against defending champion Philadelphia last Sunday.So give us Brees’ calmness and creativity over Jared Goff’s relative newness.BEST BET: SAINTS, 34-26
