The more you throw the ball in #32's direction, the luckier you get...

 

Safety should have been there. No excuse for the safety not to be there.

 

Hate to say this but Sanchez is looking good. All these breaks are building his confidence.

 

Every week someone bends over and hands them a football game....... way to spread em Jason Allen

 

Good teams usually get the breaks. Sanchez is playing a lot better than I thought he ever would, but the rest of their team is really, really good.

And JA just can't help but hurt the Dolphins can he?

 

My positive thinking is they are playing games to close that they should win and come playoff time when you can't do this they will choke the bone.

 

'Luck' is the reason Sanchez connected with Braylon Edwards deep with no time outs left and no way to stop the clock. it's also luck that Santonio Holmes scored the game winning TD with :10 left. No luck is the reason, it's not that the Jets have flat out ballers!!!!
Sanchez is getting better every week. Im so happy we finally have our franchise QB. it feels great.

 

Unless your name is Brett Favre. ;)

 

Last yr they cut Roth and he went on to be huge for the Browns to end the season, this year, well, err...

 

Pay homage to da man!

 

You can call the Detroit game "lucky", but Sanchez and the Jets made PLAYS to beat CLE and HOU. Lousy coverage or not, the throw to Edwards was absolutely perfect. Ditto the winner to Holmes. Luck is a defender falling down and having a receiver wide open. There was nothing lucky about those throws or the plays Sanchez made leading up to them.

Sanchez is the real deal.

Edit: I am agreeing with DLJ. I quoted her post by accident.

 

jets built their team in 15 minutes, we've been building for 3 years......and we suck. its ridiculous. They trade a 5th for holmes, we trade a 5th for tyler thigpen.

We draft odrick and misi......ultimatley guys that are replacable, and pass on dez bryant who has 5 recieving tds and 2 punt return tds as a rookie.

GET PLAYMAKERS !!!!!! THE WAY YOU ARE DOING THINGS ARE NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!

 

Not so, you are seeing the finished product from the 06 draft were they picked up Ferguson and Mangold, recall that guy Eric Mangini?

He drafted their core guys, it was only later that they could add the Kellers and Greene's.

Meanwhile our #1 pick in 06 just was toastee O'd...

 

Luckiest team in the National Football League. Saying anything else just tells me homerism and denial have intoxicated you to the point where you can not function in the real World.

 

I wish we were as lucky.

 

Go watch the pass to Edwards a few times. And then the one to Holmes that Henne has a 2% chance of completing and tell me it's luck. You're the homer.

The only lucky win was Detroit. They executed to win the others.

 

actually, the browns were in FG range to win in OT, and a dumb reciever for the browns stays in bounds to try to make a play and fumbles, the ball stays in bounds, you recover....thats luck dude

 

That play was more on the safety than JA.

 

At that point, it would have been a 49 yard FG, and he was STRIPPED. It's not like he dropped the ball without being touched. And whose luck was it that Folk missed 2 FG's prior to that, and then one after that?

 

I love you, man!

 

If there is one thing Dolfans could tell the Texans DefCord it is:

"Give Jason Allen Safety help over the top or he will get torched"

 

Cry me a river with the luck rant.

 

Sanchez never gets credit for anything.

 

It's pathetic that they just can't give props to Mark Sanchez. I ****ing love our QB.

 

where the hell are these jets fans coming from???? go to some lame *** jet forums. and its luck :)

 

8-2 is not luck, son.

 

The Broncos game was luck. 50 yard prayer that turns into PI to win the game is not skill. Also, the Lions and Browns games were luck, too. But this game wasn't luck. Sanchez just took advantage of a horrible, horrible secondary.

 

Sanchez delivers when it ****ing matters. **** him, and **** the Jets.

 

Yea, that PI call on Denver on that heave-ho hail mary was pure Sanchez skill. :wink2:

 

Ummmm what did you want expect an interception?? Credit the Jets, they know what that match-up of Edwards vs. Allen has yielded in the past.....

 

LOL. I actually cringed when Edwards ran right past him untouched. Then I remembered that JA is a Texan and that our season is over regardless —seeing as how we consistently refuse to help ourselves...

Anyone expecting anyone else to help us against our division is coo-coo for cocoa puffs.

Again, props to your Jests, your HC, coaching staff, offensive coordinator, and the Sanchise fruit-cake. The fat guy is getting the most out of his players when it counts, Sanchez is making the plays that make the difference consistently at this point, and that team is legit. Finding ways to win. And that defensive stand holding the Texans to 3 turned out to be huge also.

 

it is setting up beautifully for an even more spectacular collapse or disappointment for Jet Fans.

have no fear....it is the New York Jets here.

 

My only comfort right now is that they were 9-2 in 2008.

 

They were 8-3.

You could very well be right, but at the very least the season will have shown that we have found a QB. How's that working out for you?

I actually like Henne better than Nacho. Nacho can get me on his side if he finishes the season up strong.

If I had to guess...I would say that he does.

 

Oh and, I don;t want to hear ever again how Dolphin fans leave early.....

That stadium was damn near empty when nacho did his Roger Staubach impersonation.

 

I'm one of the few Dolphin fans who has consistently held that Sanchez had more upside than Henne so I'm not surprised that he's progressing. IMO he has progressed faster than expected this season, however. I would credit three reasons for that. First, there's luck. Jets fans want to pretend that its sour grapes, but the fact is that early in the season Sanchez had only slightly improved his number of passes defended. Opponents were getting their hands on his passes at almost the same rate as last season, but through sheer luck they weren't catching as many. Second, the Jets were smart enough to surround Sanchez with receiving weapons. They didn't sign Edwards and claim that since they had a #1 type WR (not IMO, but many thought so) they were done. They also brought in Holmes. Without Holmes alone, I believe they have four more losses this year. And they already had a a receiving TE in place. They didn't just stick with blocking types. Third, the Jets stuck with their running game and were successful with it. That's a huge crutch for a young QB. I guess you could add a fourth reason by citing their defense, but IMO the Jets defense isn't as good as it was and has been less reliable than the team expected.

The second and third reasons have been the main differences between the Dolphin's and Jets rebuilding paths. Yes, the Jets had an advantage b/c their defense was better and the Dolphins suffered some bad injury luck on their OL, but the Dolphins further crippled their efforts by failing to do everything they could. The Dolphin's defense has a ton of talent that needs to mature. IMO they would be as effective as the Jets by the end of this season. The Grove injury was crippling. You need a strong pivot man if you want to be a running team. Berger was as good and arguably better as a pass blocker, but no where near as strong as Grove. The Dolphins got stuck with no choice after the injury as Grove was clearly a shell of what he was last year. Maybe the team should have known better since they went out and signed a C that had such an extensive injury history. They made a risky choice and didn't have enough of a back-up plan to run the type of offense they wanted.

 

Defense is a huge problem. Houston did the Jets a favor by playing for a FG after the interception. I am very concerned with the Jets craptastic defense. They aren't going anywhere unless they find a way to fix it.
