PFT:Patriots have to be puckering

102 Pat · Jan 10, 2011

Was Sanchez that bad saturday? I ask because I had to work and when I went on a break, I went on NFL.com and "watched" the last minute of the game on the play by play screen (riveting, I know!). Seems like if not for the Holmes kick return, the Jets would of been backed up closer to there own 20.

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.

I don't think you read what I wrote in my first post or second post.

I watched the same game as you.

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

Brad Smith was injured earlier in the game so I wonder what his status will be Sunday as the Jets primary kick returner.

As for Sanchez...he was typically badly innacurate. Their best drives he barely passed all run. If hes that inaccurate against the pats, the ballhawks will get those.

Yes. Due to his shoulder injury or inability or both, he was throwing too high. In fact, a few drives were kept alive thanks to excellent catches by the receivers.

The only reason this game concerns me is because the thought of losing to the Jets in the playoffs is so heartwrenching, even a small chance of it happening is enough to keep me up.

From a football perspective, I see no reason the Patriots shouldn't win this game.

There have been a few times in the past decade that I thought the patriots would/will definately win....

This sunday against the Jets?.......We are going to win by 2-3 TD's.

Man, PFT is a joke. They think the Pats won by a lot in hopes that it would somehow result in them losing the next 4 games and missing the playoffs. Uh, what?

And he makes it sound like that strategy backfired now. Like we just tried to kill a lion in its sleep, only to wound it and have it wake up angry.

A lion? hmm...how about a hippo?

PS: no way I am diminishing the rage and potency of a hippo btw.

I have no doubt that the Jets will use the blow-out as motivation. Rex should go dig up the gameball he burieð and mount it in the middle of the locker room. However, it won't be enough. When Pats get ahead by 2 TDs in the 1st quarter, Jets will fold. LT pull up lame so he can sulk on the bench, Sanchez will smile nervously so he doesn't show that its devastating his confidence and Rex will dream about rubbing greesy hamburgers all over his wife's feet.

The only puckering going on is Florio kissing the New York Jesters rear ends!

Rex can resurrect the Titanic from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, for all I care, because the Patriots will score at least 31 points as has been the case the last eight games. The Jets are going down!

Even Belichick has alluded to the fact that niether the Patriots or the Jets are really not any different as a team from the last game at Foxboro in December...

If anything....we are a little healthier...and a playing the best football we've played all season...

So why should this game have a significantly different outcome than the last one?

Any given sunday? Sure.....but that game was just played saturday in Seattle...

Thats the key number ATippett. The Pats will score their 30-35 points. Their offense is MUCH more explosive than the Colt's.

Jets have scored over 30 five times this year. Twice was vs BUF, MIA, CHI and the Texans.

The only way they are getting in the 30s is if Sanchez has a supremely monster game on 1st down throws, 3rd down conversions and topping their 30th in Red Zone offensive ranking.

Seeing that the Pats have had the #1 defense in the NFL since Week 9. Ain't happening....
