Sanchez is the 28th rated passer in the NFL, and is just coming off one of the worst performances a QB can have. And has been underwhelming to say the least all year.
How do you think he will do vs the Pats next Sunday?
If Haynesworth is back that is, Wayne Hunter isn't good enough to block Andre Carter with no help and the interior will be pre occupied with Wilfork/Haynesworth.

Mike Lombardi speculated that C Nick Mangold is still "two to three weeks away" from returning from his high ankle sprain.
"Watching him warm up, even if he comes back next week, he won't be the same player,"
Lombardi on Twitter.
You know they will RUSH Mangold back for week 5
I told u ppl High Ankle sprains are no joke... High ankle sprains and knee injuries are brutal for healing time.
I wish Mayo had 1 over his MCL sprain but that is besides the point
we will have a Mangold far from the Dominant healthy center. Who do we put on him?
Ditto. Today everyone on the radio are biatching that the Pats allowed 344 yards passing yesterday. Yet, people seem to ignore that nearly a third of those yards came in garbage time. So statistically it made the Pats' defense worse and Campbell's stats better, but those yards had zero bearing in the game itself.

Haynesworth AND Wilfork then double A gap blitz them early & often just to see how his ankle holds up.
Then when they alter the blocking scheme to counter the double A gap blitzes, overload Hunter and leave him on an island with Carter, Fletcher and Chung.
He's more or less 50/50 against the Pats (and really against the rest of the league too). He was good in the three wins, bad in the two losses, which is usually how this league works.
While I agree that the Pats D has been making QB's look good this year they actually had a decent game against Campbell. It's true that Campbell made a really bad throw right to Chung in the endzone but other than that they did better than the Jets, Buffalo and Denver against him.
However, Sanchez traditionally has very good games against the Pats and they are not nearly as bad defensively as the casual fan might believe.
I'm expecting a Pats win but Sanchez will be serviceable.

Agree that watching him attempt to run, he did NOT look a only week away from taking mega stress on that ankle. However, the guy IS noted for having a very high pain threshold so your outlook that he will play is quite possible. Given Rex's fear of being 2-3....
But even a sub-par Mangold is better than his replacement(s). The Jets could risk losing him for many additional weeks were he to aggravate the injury.
Gawd I hope FA is ready and willing to play because if so, we'll see Sanchez looking like that scared bunny again with he and Wilfy on the line.
Pick #3 for Wilfork? The place will go wild as Muffy drops her chablis and cheers erupt!
LOL! You Chicken Littles are too funny. Sanchez was awesome last November vs. the Pats (17 for 33 for 164 yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs) and November in 2009 (8 for 21 for 136 yards, 1 TD, and 4 INTs). If that is money, I am going to hit the ATM and get a lot for Sunday.
In two of his three games in Foxboro, Sanchez has thrown 1 TD and 7 INTs. Talk about money.

Nobody seems to want to talk about the fact that out of 5 trips in the red zone, 3 were stoned by the patriots for 6 points.
Conversely, NE had 4 trips into the RZ and came away with TD's on 3 and on the last one, they were just trying to run out the clock at the end of the game. They went with 4 straight runs and obviously weren't trying to score all that much.

At least I just heard Andy Gresh finally admit that 20 of the 98 points the Pats allowed so far this year were "arguably" in garbage time after trashing them for over an hour. And let's not forget 7 of the remaining points came on a pick six on Brady. So you can argue in four games, the Pats have given up 71 points when the game mattered or 17.8 PPG. Not bad.
Mark Sanchez will have one of his best days of the season against the Pats, except for the turnovers. My bet is they get down early, he starts throwing to the Geezer Patrol and it looks like this: 21 for 37, 298 yards, 1 TD, 2 Ints. Jet lose 31-17.
Statistically, it really does not matter. The main thing is for the Patriots defense to win the takeaway battle and for the Pats offense to keep Brady upright and have a turnover-free game.
Through 4 weeks, opposing QBs became yardage machines once the Pats jumped on top early. There is no reason to think that will change. The issue for most teams is the more throws you make, the more INTs you'll have - usually around the average per attempt. See:
