Jets Lay an Egg In Season's Biggest Game

Photo

That was ugly. The Jets lost to New England tonight 37-16. New York is now 5-4 and a game back in the AFC East. The Pats get a sweep and now own the head to head tiebreaker.

This is the second straight year first place was on the line in the season's second Jets-Pats game. It is the second time the Jets came out and stunk up the joint. Some people in the game thread said this one was worse. I agree. The Jets never had a shot in that one. It was painful, but you can shake it off. This one is different. The Jets had the Pats at home. They were playing well. The Pats were reeling. There were opportunities early to take control of the game. Instead we got listless and undisciplined football.

I think that if you look up and down the rosters, you will see that Tom Brady is a lot better than Mark Sanchez, but the Jets have more talent overall. There is no question the Patriots are a much better team at this point. I love a lot of the coaches the Jets have, but they are not doing the job.

I was prepared for a Jets loss but not one like this. The season is not over, but my gut tells me this team is probably done. It is going to be very difficult for this team to recover. It put so much emphasis on this game. Everything was there for the taking. To lose like this is devastating.

Now a short week and a really tough road venue await. The only good thing is that the Jets are playing a team that cannot complete a forward pass.

Leave your thoughts below. I will have the official recap up as soon as possible.

Maybe we can draft an OC with our mid 1st round pick.

Our failures run through our lack of identity on offense. If Sanchez can’t throw the ball more then we run it without consistant 3 and outs then you run the ball. It’s not like we weren’t effective doing it. At the half and after we stopped their offense, Greene had 5.1 Y/C and Tomlinson had 7.1, and then we went almost exclusively to the pass.

Correction

Rodgers got to sit for I think 4yrs before he played and he wasn’t great that first year
Brees only became great AFTER he got the eff away from Schotty and went to NO
Brady was not great his 2nd year he was a GAME MGR who had an OC who made him look good
Big Ben (my fav QB) was not great either. He had an awesome D and ridiculous running game to help him out. He was a GAME MGR
And don’t forget Peyton had Faulk to help him out

Oh so Brady just “appeared” great.
Roethlisberger only put up good stats and won. He too was riding his team.
Yup Peyton Manning totally depended on Marshall Faulk. When Faulk left the Colts, Peyton was exposed.

Ryan Leaf was amazing in college.

He sucked.

Brady was not seen as a starter in the NFL. Look what happened.

To base how a QB will do from college production is foolish. When it comes to the NFL, anything can happen.

Maybe Rodgers would have been just as good if he started right away, but in all honesty we truly would NOT know that.

Out of those players, Peyton was the only one without a decent run game. Snachez has that decent run game. I agree Sanchez is TBD until Shotty is fired but he isn’t consistant in the least in his 3rd year.

You keep saying 3rd year as a starter but don’t include the years some of these guys sat on the bench getting coached up. Also most of the guys were 4 year starters in College which Sanchez wasn’t. So while Sanchez is inconsistent, I think he’s been improving and I think if we had a good OC and someone who could actually teach Sanchez to play Qb would help.

by EBJD on Nov 14, 2011 1:39 AM EST up reply actions  

I would really love for the Jets to hire Trent Dilfer to coach Sanchez as a QB coach. Everytime I hear him talk about football his knowledge is amazing. Not to mention, if anyone can teach him how to win a Superbowl as an average QB with a great defense its Trent.

Schotty is terrible

The playcalling is bad, the offense starts slow every damned week, and our franchise QB is still playing like a rookie as a third year player. That’s on Schotty. He’s had a nice run, but we need a new direction. I’m done with him.

BB figured out how to flip this game (love how he took advantage of the time at the end of the first half) and then leverage the no huddle. This was a smoke and mirrors dominance.

This is what I'm saying Bro

It’s one thing to have a slow start every game… I can understand the need to build up rhythm. But it’s ALWAYS WITH THE INCONSISTENTCY.

He seems to lack overall desire at times.

Also, I know A LOT rests on Schottenheimer, but there has to be an extent where Sanchez needs to say "I don’t think these plays are working, let me utilize my instincts and call some of my own plays that I think will work.

It's my honest opinion that they few good drives were a result of adjustments he made

That said, his lack of ability to put up points against the worst defense when their best players were knocked out has lowered him in my estimates. There’s only so many excuses I can make.

I WOULD like a new OC before we give up on Sanchez though.

No. Denver has a lot of talent on defense. McElroy was not drafted where he was to be anything more than a career backup at best. Nothing against him, but there’s not much he can do for you if Sanchez isn’t cutting it. Anything else is just grasping for straws.

They were playing scared on offense...

That’s why plain and simple, I knew we weren’t going to win the game when we called that stupid draw on the 3rd and 24. I’m not saying it wasn’t the safe call…but I am saying it wasn’t the call you need to make against the worst pass D in the league who has a QB like Tom “Cry Baby” Brady waiting to come off the bench. If our O played more aggressive we could have kept our D off the field and then they wouldn’t be tired as hell by the 4th and could still make a stop when we needed it.

The game plan on offense was terrible…we didn’t commit to ground and pound or commit to trying to exploit their awful secondary. We tried to do a mix of both and seemed to call each at the worst possible time. WE NEED TO GROUND AND POUND AND THEN ESTABLISH OUR PASSING GAME WITH SANCHEZ’S GREAT PLAY ACTION ABILITY!!! or if you want to throw it first do what the Pats did to us, make a few good throws so they sub in their small package and then go no huddle and ground and pound their faces off. Remember that series where Wilfork was out and we were picking up 6 and 7 yard chunks running it till they subbed him back in. If we went hurry up we could have kept doing that and pounding the rock for large chunks of yardage. Sanchez is a very good hurry up QB from what I’ve seen, we could do things like this all the time and why we don’t is beyond me.

The final thing is I didn’t really see us take on deep shot while the game was still in reach. That to me is the most telling sign that we were playing scared. We just weren’t going for the jugular like we should have been on O. Instead against the worst D in the league we played scared. We tried to count on Sanchez making less mistakes than Brady…which was a really stupid strategic error made by our coaches….I love Sanchez and hate Brady but to try and put them head to head in a game of whom makes less mistakes has a loss for Sanchez and the jets written all over it.

You are entitled to your opinion but

Honestly, not really...

Ever since Sanchez has been drafted I couldn’t stand him. I never thought he was NFL ready, and now he’s slowly proving me right.

I’d love for him to prove me wrong, but you can’t honestly say he is proving me wrong.

by umohan21 on Nov 14, 2011 12:41 AM EST up reply actions  

so basically you're just a hater

nevermind that Sanchez doesn’t get any support from what is supposed to be an offensive coordinator. An OC that is really a moron.

You can’t blame Sanchez for going with a gameplan that consistently sputters and fails ALL THE TIME.

Take the ball out of his hands. Plain and simple,

if the kid can’t execute consistantly, run the ball before it’s too late. This should have been done in the 3rd quarter at the latest and it wasn’t.

Been nursing a cold all weekend so

I fell asleep during the first quarter, then I wake up to see that we’d lost:( it sucks obviously, but we move on and try to collect as many wins as possible. We won’t have to wait long for a shot at 6-4. We’ll make it, I’m staying positive.

Still optimistic.....

Its not over yet. My gut is telling me that the Eagles and Bills going to beat the Patriots. Miami maybe the spoiler in this division.We just need to get pass the Giants and we can win the remaining games on the schedule.

Facing Denver in a short week is the best thing for the Jets right now.

It won’t let them dwell on tonight’s performance.

run

shoulda ran it more….our defense got out played…without pool their tightends had a field day and even with him we still would of had trouble…not to mention all the times our defense was out of position i saw like 4 plays where someone was completely wideopen and got at least a 20 yard gain….offensive line sucked….special teams had a fumble and i have no idea how they didnt recover it. Still think well make the playoffs but if we have to play newengland and that beast Hernandez were screwed

Schotty is a lousy play caller, but it still comes down to the players. Are you telling me Brady or Aaron Rodgers wouldn’t be successful with Schotty calling the plays? Sanchez just isn’t improving, and the O line isn’t helping matters.

Buster Posey: still better than Eli and Stewart, even with a broken ankle.

by rxmeister on Nov 14, 2011 12:46 AM EST reply actions  

Probably not

Schotty had Drew Brees in SD, there he was just a QB when he got to NO under Payton’s expert play calling he became amazing. Good coaching makes all the difference in the world.

That was just as likely a young QB maturing and coming into his own.

the point is that Brees was good in San Diego. He didn’t need some brilliant coach in New Orleans to stand on

You can say that but he wasn't great

And those numbers wouldn’t have garnered him the future HoF-er status he has now.

by Melrenee on Nov 14, 2011 12:53 AM EST up reply actions  

Yeah but you need to call plays to your teams strengths,

 if we called running plays we very well could have won this game, hypothetically. Our O Line’s strength and our ability to control the TOP is key here. This leads to our D getting tired and torched as well/ as 3 and outs using no clock has them out on the field more.

by Timmaht on Nov 14, 2011 12:50 AM EST up reply actions  

It is easy to name the best QBs in the league and say that they can work in this system. We didn’t draft Sanchez with the idea that he would go down as one of the 10 best QBs EVER. But he has a skill set that we aren’t taking advantage of.

by SoReal on Nov 14, 2011 12:50 AM EST up reply actions  

thank you

how some people can’t see this is astonishing. Every other team at least tries to air it deep. The league encourages it with their rules…NE had a depleted secondary…and yet Schotty can’t put two and two together.

It's about the OC because they call the play to use what talent they have.

Sanchez is a young, still raw QB, since he’s the teams investment he has to play him, but he hasn’t modified the gameplan to the strengths of the offense. Which especially today was running the football. 2nd and goal on the 6 yard line and he comes out in an empty backfield, that’s just incompetance.

Who’s better on the team? Why pick on him when the team obviously feels he’s better in coverage than tiny Jim Leonhard?

by dar9898 on Nov 14, 2011 12:58 AM EST up reply actions  

Him being better then Leonhard in coverage only emphasises the weakness there.

E. Smith is the worse FS starting in the league today. He’s a small SS “covering” TEs.

relax with the sanchez hate…he might not ever be a top 10 qb but he could be top 15…..he knows how to make plays and can make some incredibly difficult throws….For now sanchez is our Q and it could be worse…Personally i think he could win a superbowl without the type of team we have well of course if we had safety’s who could guard the tight ends and a offensive coordinator who’s to predictable

2 theories here, and neither are good

Either the Jets shrunk on the big stage and bowed to the mystique of the Pats, which for a team in the AFC Title game the past 2 years and a win over the Pats in the playoffs is really disheartening, OR the Jets simply aren’t that good and we got too high on them after beating a couple of overrated frauds like San Diego and Buffalo.

by J-Nasty on Nov 14, 2011 1:12 AM EST via mobile reply actions  

I truly do believe Sanchez can be great.

I have always liked Schotty and have always supported him as our OC but sometimes you just need a change of pace. I believe with a new OC and a full off-season Sanchez can finally realize his potential. He has slowly and surely been improving each year, I’m just waiting for that quantum leap that is bound to happen. Also having more then one receiver stay the same year-to-year will help.

Also, I want to see what Bilal Powell can do in our run attack next year. Hopefully we’ll drop LT (sorry but I think McKnight can take over his very limited responsibilities.) and if Powell shows he can run, drop Greene. In a perfect world we’d be able to pick up Forte in FA but I doubt that.

Here’s to the future, cause the present ain’t looking too good.

Laid an Egg

The Jets did NOT lay a rotten egg in the Patriots game, they were just the Chicken that couldn’t find it’s way to the other side of the street. Outplayed, and, Outcoached, by Coach Belicheck, and, the Best QB in the last 20 years, Tom Brady !

by MattHelm on Nov 14, 2011 2:00 AM EST reply actions  

I only started watching from the middle of the 3rd

…so i don’t know why the score looked that way.
I saw him throw a mid pass across the field. Then i saw a ball bounce off of Greene (?) hands. Sanchez did not look that bad from then on until he threw that last int. Which… looks like the same freakin play…

1. His receivers have to get the ball. They need to WANT it and grab it.
2. Sanchez needs to get rid of the ball a bit sooner. Especially if this is what he’s gonna have to expect from his O-line. Or he needs to just run. he’s gonna get killed either way.
3. I wouldnt have had a problem with Rex calling a timeout when the Pats when into their no huddle in the 3rd. The Pats obviously saw something.

Just because the Pats D is ranked last doesnt mean they are easy to beat. We did not lose to a bad team.

by GrendelKen on Nov 14, 2011 2:29 AM EST reply actions  

Wild card or bust!

It’s the wild card hunt for us. Pats will win out with their weak schedule. Brady willed this victory—and we don’t have a player who can do that. Only Revis is on that level, but his position limits his impact. We’re back to where we were against Miami a few weeks ago—a must win in Denver against a sub par opponent. Kudos to Bill, Brady, and NE! Now Go Jets! By the way, anyone seen Santonio lately.
