FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — You can steal Darrelle Revis away from Bill Belichick, you can bring in a bright defensive mind for a head coach and admire how he has instilled discipline, you can add the best player in the draft to your would-be New York Sack Exchange II … and Tom Brady simply does not give a damn.

So, if you are going to turn into the Same Old Jets in the final 15 seconds after recovering an onside kick and have the game end on a Brandon Marshall false start without getting to clock the ball to attempt a Hail Mary, if Marshall is going to drop a touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter and cost you four points, you may insist on believing you’ve closed the endless gap between you and the Evil Empire, but there is still a gap, and there will forever be one until Tom Brady grows old. If he ever does.

For the tortured 4-2 Jets, he is their S.O.B.

Same Old Brady.

The cold-blooded executioner who leaves them scratching their heads and pulling their hair out in yet another somber visiting locker room.

And, no, he didn’t cheat.

Same Old Balls Ryan Fitzpatrick used.

“Tom is great,” Darrelle Revis said after Patriots 30, Jets 23, “at dissecting any defense, and that’s what he did down the stretch. He ended up making more plays than us. He ended up finding the matchups that he wanted to find, and making throws he needed to throw.”

Brady (355 yards, two touchdowns) threw 54 times Sunday on a day when the 6-0 Patriots didn’t even bother trying to run the ball. He was their leading rusher (15 yards, one touchdown). James White and LeGarrette Blount rushed a combined five times for 1 yard.

It is the aerial version of the Green Bay power sweep. You know it’s coming, but you can’t stop it. Todd Bowles’ best defense was receiver Brandon LaFell, who dropped six passes.

“That’s why one day that guy will be in Canton,” Calvin Pace said.

The momentum-changer was Brady’s third-and-17 strike from his 27 to Julian Edelman at a time when the Jets led 20-16 early in the fourth quarter.

Brady was 7-for-8 on the drive for 85 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown toss over the middle to Danny Amendola.

He was 7-for-9 when he got the ball back, including a 15-yard lollipop touchdown under blitz duress to a ridiculously open Rob Gronkowski with 1:13 left.

“It’s not frustrating, it’s exciting — I got to play against a legend today,” safety Dion Bailey said.

Bailey, an ex-Seahawk claimed on waivers at the end of last month, was asked what makes Brady a legend.

“Anticipation, knowing where guys are going to be, moving guys … he throws guys open. Guys aren’t always open,” Bailey said.

Bailey became an eyewitness expert on Brady on the third-and-17 zone mishap.

“It wasn’t like he [Edelman] clearly just beat me, it was just a great throw and catch,” Bailey said.

When asked what he could have done differently, Bailey said: “I would have just chased him to the corner, and not try to beat him to the corner. I tried to beat him to the corner and then he was able to cross my face.”

Brady: “Jules broke across his body and let it go. Jules made a real smart play. It’s not exactly how we drew it up. I think there were a lot of plays like that today that weren’t exactly how we drew it up.”

When a Hall of Fame quarterback is throwing to a monster like Gronk (11 receptions, 108 yards, one touchdown), they don’t always need to be exactly how they draw them up.

With Revis mostly shadowing Edelman (5 catches, 54 yards), Brady threw Gronkowski and Danny Amendola (8 catches, 86 yards, a touchdown) open. Fitzpatrick (97.7) actually had a higher QB rating than Brady (94.3), but an ill-advised decision to go deep on third-and-7 for rookie Devin Smith with Marshall double-teamed all day resulted in a costly fourth-quarter three-and-out sandwiched between Brady’s fourth-quarter touchdown passes.

“Maybe that was the right decision, maybe it wasn’t,” Fitzpatrick said.

Maybe throwing a 12-yarder to Eric Decker in the middle of the field with no timeouts left following the onside kick recovery by Marshall wasn’t the right decision either.

“He wouldn’t have thrown it that far if we stayed where we were,” Bowles said.

Fitzpatrick, who overcame a first-quarter fumble, didn’t have a running game either, as Chris Ivory (17 carries for 41 yards, nine receiving yards, one touchdown) was hamstrung right out of the gate and was funneled inside by the Pats’ defense. And he doesn’t have a Gronk. With Marshall smothered, his only recourse was Eric Decker (six catches, 94 yards).

Asked to describe the gap between the teams, Marshall said: “Very small.”

The gap is one S.O.B.
