Head coach Adam Gase has not lost his cool, says the New York Post. It’d be hard to lose something you have never had, wouldn’t it? “His attitude hasn’t changed,’’ guard Brian Winters said. “It’s like nothing has happened to him, which is what you need in a head coach. He comes to work every day happy and ready to roll. He’s the first guy you lean on, so when you see a guy like him chipper and ready to roll, you feel like, ‘Hey, we’re good to go.’ ’’ Crapping all over the Miami Dolphins and still getting employed by another team fills a guy with confidence.

The Patriots are playing on both sides of the ball as well as we they have in the last few seasons. This is one of the best-balanced New England teams we have seen in years. And head coach Bill Belichick seems to have been able to avoid the kind of slow start that had plagued him in recent times. Meanwhile, the Jets had their collective ass handed to them by the Browns. Take the Pats and the points.
