As more and more articles were being posted on the internet yesterday in regards to the Jets beating the Colts....the one thing I found laughable is that they were trying to paint a picture of the Jets won because of Mark Sanchez's play....

And I thought....."WTF?????"

The Jets won INSPITE of Mark Sanchez.

He was throwing the ball so badly that the Jets had to go to abandon the passing game almost completely!!

Everyone watching that game KNEW the Jets were going to have to run the ball to have ANY chance to win that game...Including the Colts...And the Colts couldn't stop anything!!

I hope Rex and Sanchez read into this all week and allow Sanchez to throw the ball against us...it is going to turn out very badly for the Jets if they do.

The numbers back you up.

Anything less hes < 50%- especially on 3rd down. Hes brutal.

Anything 10+ yards hes a 60% comp passer. Thats why hes had some success in the 2 minute drill.

Anything 10 yards and over gives his receivers a little more time to adjust to his ball, ergo, he completes more passes.

If it wasn't for Cromartie's kickoff return, the Jets would have never won the game in the end.

Accuracy is a part of it no question but it also means he has more time to go through his progressions, make sight adjustments at the LoC, check-downs, IE he has more time to process information. Typical of a young QB.

I am on record as saying Mark Sanchez will be a solid QB in this league. I think he is getting there TBH. But in terms of having the ability to manipulate the defense, make quick decisions and essentially carry an offense (not just by passing but get them out of bad plays into good ones) for an entire game, he is simply not there.

From everything I could read in the past 24 hours about that game....my one reaction has been:

"Were we watching the same game??"

Everyone in the world could see that Mark Sanchez was crumbing under the pressure in the 4th quarter. He overthrew BADLY on 3 consecutive throws...tried to throw a 90 mph fastball to a guy 6 yards away on another and on the last play that went for 18 yards....good God, that was a terrible throw that they were lucky to have completed. It was a softer-throw (coaching suggestion that Sanchez "stop trying to throw it 100 mph?) that required a 6'4' receiver to jump 4 feet off the ground against a CB that was on the practice squad until a few weeks ago?

Seriously. Mark Sanchez was awful down the stretch. The Colts were even worse.

Honestly, I was impressed with Cromartie's speed once he got a lane to run through...But just before that kickoff...I was yelling "pooch kick it!!"

If I recall correctly, the previous KO to Cromartie was also an excellent return for the Jets....I was thinking that they should have kicked it away from him.

If he is returning kicks against us, I am a little concerned with how fast he gets up to full speed.

That is what I don't understand, people say Jets will come to play ok but what will we do? Play with our feet?
