Calvin Pace believes the NFL set the New York Jets up to fail. The Jets defense has gone up against Aaron Rodgers. Jay Cutler. Matthew Stafford. Philip Rivers. Peyton Manning. Tom Brady to start the season.
No that is not a list of the top 5-7 quarterbacks in the game. That’s a list of the Jets first six opponents this season. Calvin Pace is crying foul.
“It’s going to be another tough one,” linebacker Calvin Pace said of the team’s Thursday Night Football matchup against the Pats, according to Newsday. “Someone at the NFL really had it out for us on this schedule. But that being said, nobody feels sorry for us.”
The Jets face Tom Brady and the Patriots on Thursday night football. Pace of course is not pleased about that either.
“I think it’s a terrible idea,” he said. “I think if you’re talking about player safety that’s the one way that you’re pretty much ensuring that a bunch of guys can potentially get hurt.”
