Just Disgusting !
There are so many words to describe my emotions: Embarrassed. Disgusted. Sick.
People say this is a new regime but it's same crap, different year.
This season started off with such promise. A new energetic head coach. A young stud rookie quarterback. A 3-0 start. All of that has been quickly erased as we lost to an inferior opponent as we usually do and are now 3-3 and a game back of first place. It's just pathetic.
On a day that you can rush for 318 yards, give up only 13 points in regulation, and have a 10 point lead at one point, you would think you would win the game. But, these are the Jets. We were playing a Bills team that had lost 3 straight games and had only scored 2 offensive touchdowns in that same span. So, this should have been a game the Jets should have dominated.
Sanchez, they tell us, has never played in a game where the temperature is under 55 degrees. Well, Mark...welcome to the North East. This was a warm day compared to what it is going to be in a month or so. Sanchez threw the ball great...to the other team ! He had FIVE interceptions. Yes, he had 5 interceptions while at the same time in a different game, Tom Brady threw FIVE touchdowns in just one quarter of football. Some of it wasn't Sanchez' fault. He has NO receivers. Braylon Edwards still is learning the Jets offense. Jerricho Cotchery and Brad Smith were out. That left us with David Clowny, Wallace Wright, and I can't even remember the 3rd wide receiver's name. Not a single ball was throw in the direction of these guys. With not many targets out there, Sanchez really had limited options but that is not an excuse for so many interceptions.
And things got worse. Kris Jenkins may have had a season ending knee injury and he's our most dominate man on the line. That is a killer injury.
But, it shouldn't have mattered. Their starting QB left the game with an injury so we are facing a backup QB for the 2nd straight week and still can't sack the quarterback. What is up with the defense that is supposed to reek havoc on the quarterback and only getting one sack?
And penalties. I think we had 14 at my last count with SIX of them coming in Overtime. How the hell do you have 6 penalties in OT? This is unexceptable. These penalties put us on 1st and long for a ton of drives and killed us towards the end when we got to the 10 yard line only to have it called back due to a Ben Harstock penalty and then we have a perfect snap on a winning FG attempt and Weatherfod couldn't handle it. Instead, he had no choice but to get up and just throw the ball which was picked off.
There was a few bright spots in the game. Thomas Jones rushed for 210 yards and broke his personal record for his longest career run twice. Leon Washington also added 99 yards on the ground.
And get this. Mark Sanchez' passer rating was 8.3. Thomas Jones average per carry was 9.5. That's embarrassing for the QB.
We are poorly coached. Why would you challenge a call over 6 yards when you thought they stepped out of bounds. You lost the challenge and wasted a time out. We also wasted another time out when on fourth down we tried to draw the Bills offsides and then called time out. Time outs are valuable and we need to stop wasting them as we've done the last few weeks. We also wasted a time out when we had too many men on the field for the field goal block team. We also had an intentional delay of game after a time out. Just stupid.
Next up is the Raiders in Oakland where we never win. This season took a bad turn and it needs to be turned the other way before it gets out of control !
Notes:
1. The Jets 14 penalties were the most since a Rich Kotite game in 1996.
2. Thomas Jone's 71-yard run was the longest by a Jet since Adrian Murrell's 78-yarder against the Cardinals in 1996.
3. The Jets managed only one sack against a Bills offensive line that began the day with only 41 combined career starts.
4. PK Jay Feely made his first two FG attempts to break Pat Leahy's team record for most consecutive field goals (23). He was wide left, from 44 yards, on his third attempt.
