Have anything you want to saynfl authentic jerseys about the game? Email Dom here or find him on Twitter. We'll pass along some of the more interesting missives throughout the game.1st Quarter:Patriots 3, Jets 0; 7:21:As Jon Gruden points out on the broadcast, the Jets' no-huddle is a good way for the Jets to try to exploit the young Pats defense.Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jersey So far, though, New England is living up to the challenge.Patriots 3, Jets 0; 8:35:I've lost count of commercial breaks at this point (three? Four? 16?) but the Jets challenged the spot on a 3rd-and-1 sneak by Mark Sanchez near midfield. Rex Ryan's challenge did not work, costing the team a timeout. The Jets decide to go for it anyway, and they get it.Patriots 3, Jets 0; 9:38:Good observationTennessee Titans Jersey from @MikeReiss on Twitter: "Patriots open with an interesting defensive wrinkle -- rookie LB Dane Fletcher in the base personnel with Mayo, Spikes and Cunningham." Still, Jets convert on third and long to keep their first drive alive.Patriots 3, Jets 0; 10:57Did I jinx the Pats? Their next three plays -- all incompletions, with the Jets getting good pressure on Tom Brady to force rushed throws. Shayne Graham hits a 41-yarder into the wind.Jets 0, Patriots 0; 11:46The Pats first fiveVince Young Jersey plays -- 8 yards, 12, 4, 7, 20. I'd say their first-drive gameplan is working out pretty well. Mid-series adjustment from the Jets? We'll see.Jets 0, Patriots 0; 15:00OK, enough with the pregame hype. Lets get this thing kicked off. By the way, for those of you into this sort of thing, I'm blogging this from the living room of my apartment in Jersey City, N.J. 42-inch TV, on. Christmas tree, decorated. 2-month-old son, crying. Just like being in Foxboro.Mike Tirico, going sans overcoat or scarf in the open-windowed MNF booth. Bill Belichick, going with a huge puffer coat on the New England sideline. Who would have thought Tirico would be tougher than Belichick?Final weatherChris Johnson Jersey report, from Banks: "27 degrees at game time, with 16 mph winds out of the west, gusting to 24 mph. Wind chill of 15 degrees." Glad I'm indoors.PREGAMEDon Banks, SI.com NFL senior writer, is at Gillette Stadium and checks in: "Just got back to my seat in the press box. Had to do an on-field TV hit with Comcast New England. It is freaking windy and freezing. Passing games are going to be really challenged tonight. Might favor Jets big time if it's a running game first type of night."Resident Jets fan and master of SI.com's Hot Clicks, Jimmy Traina, weighs in with his realist prediction: "The fact that the Jets have zero pass rush will do them in."Don Banks is back with a report on the media atmosphere in Foxboro: "It's a very heavy national media contingent. AndLarry Fitzgerald Jersey I would say as close to a playoff atmosphere as you can generate in the regular season. The press box is so over-flowing tonight that they've shifted where us national guys usually sit to a different row and part of the box, because there's so many of us in attendance." And I can pass on that Patriots media relations chief Stacey James reports on Twitter that the Pats issued 725 media credentials for the game. That's a lot.Here are tonight's inactives, per ESPNBoston's Mike Reiss: Patriots: RB T. Clayton; DE/OLB E. Moore; OL M. LeVoir; OL R. Ohrnberger;Kurt Warner Jersey WR T. Price; DL M. Pryor; DL M. Wright; CB J. Wilhite. And the Jets: OLB J. Westerman; OL V. Ducasse; TE M. Mulligan; TE J. Cumberland; WR L. Coles; DT M. Dixon; DL M. Kroul; K. Clemens (3/QB). No big surprises on either side.
