Tom Brady’s doing great, not that Belichick would ever say

Talkin’ turkey: Patriots head coach Bill Belichick on the Thanksgiving Day holiday: “It’s about family, friends, good food and football”. Except that is reportedly not the case as quarterback Tom Brady could have one of, if not his favorite targets against the Jets.

Earlier Wednesday, sources told ESPN that Gronkowski was not expected to play this Sunday against the Jets. “I wish I could give you guys more but there’s not much to elaborate on”. Teams are allowed to bring one player back from IR each season, a decision that must be made within 21 days of a player’s return to practice. With the season all but over, it is a bit surprising that the Jets aren’t starting Bryce Petty to see what he can do for the rest of the season.

“He’s healthy, he’s been our starter”, Jets coach Todd Bowles said.

Revis played with Brady during the 2014 season, when the Patriots won their fourth Super Bowl.

“I was happy to play, happy to contribute”, Van Noy said Wednesday. NY is 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 division matchups and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall while the over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 home games. He’s confident and he’s comfortable out there, which is the main thing, and as he gets more playing time and he takes more reps in practice, he’ll get more comfortable with his reads and everything else. I don’t think that’s something that’s been an issue yet. If the Patriots will win over New York Jets on Sunday, Brady will get a milestone of 200 wins and he’ll join Peyton Manning in the 1st place all-time.

Since the end of last season, New England has sported a defense in transition.

The Jets are tied for 22nd in the league for sacks with just 19 so they must amp up their pass rush if they will have a shot to win this one. “If I get my shot on Sunday, I’ll do the best I can do”.

“We’ve got three guys that all have different roles and I think that all three guys impacted the game in a positive way, whether that was with the ball or without it, ” offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said.

NOTES: Revis declined to comment on the lawsuit he filed on November 15 against his former agents, claiming they allegedly raised their commission fee on an endorsement deal without his consent.

“When you take the field, man, you take the field, no matter who it is, no matter what the circumstances are”, said nose Steve McLendon, coming off his second multisack game of the season vs. Los Angeles.
