Listen, if you want to get excited that the guy made the easy throws that's fine. But I expect that he should. Would you give a RB credit for running through open holes? A WR for catching a pass on blown coverage? If you're simply happy for Sanchez doing what he's supposed to do, then you have very low expectations for his success.

Throw late and get picked off like Fitzy? Cuz he had a ton of time to throw as well and thre picks on plays he should have made.

I dont expect Mario to have a lot of sacks. As much as Jets fans want to praise Howard for his performance, the reality is they had tight ends and backs help in protection a majority of time. I fully expect that to happen in every game. But I also expect Kyle and Dareus to penetrate like they usually do. We'll see.

Not true, watch the game again. Early on they had our RG Moore helping him out before they realized it wasn't really necessary. This breakdown by Cimini has the number as follows;

Howard 1-on-1 vs. Williams -- 13 plays

Howard/Moore vs. Williams -- 6 plays

Howard, with help from RB chip block -- 2 plays

I saw another article by a Bills writer that broke it down even better but I can't find it right now. Either way, you have to be worried about Super Mario...

2. holds that weren't called on Mario? How about the blatant hold that wasn't called on Spiller's TD run? That didn't happen, right?

Oh, that happened....one of the reasons to to worry about the Rushing Stats, or the late score.


Personally, I think they should stay with the replacment refs, and start coaching up the obvious items.

It certainly made the game look more like Football, than overly litigated Flag Football.

1. I Think Fitz needs to take a lot of credit for the loss. He was throwing into tight coverage all day. There were several plays early when he should have checked down away from the receiver who was covered. I saw him do this early last year without getting burned by it. That is not going to happen this year.

2) Mario Williams had a bad day, he should just have said that after the game. I read yesterday on a buffalo site that they broke down all the plays he questioned and concluded his whining was unwarrented.

3) The jets did a good job of collapsing the pocket around Fitz. he just seemed antsi all day. Coples, Wilk, and Ellis were a big part of that. I just hope they can do the same against Big BEN this week.

4) the Jets need more speed from their LB's, Spiller showed a weakness that they have to fix.

5) The bills secondary was horrible all day. The 2nd and 3rd CB's were so bad you don't even know what you have yet in your number 1 CB yet.

6) Sanchez looked good, He can play better but when given time like he had Sunday. He can play.

7) Hill will make life easier for Holmes as the season goes on.

Thanks for the post. Its nice seeing a Jets fan respond who actually wants to talk about football instead of get defensive.

1.) Your point on Fitz taking the blame. I actually dont blame Fitz, I blame Gailey for putting Fitz in that situation. We all know what Fitz is: an average QB who can look great at times and horrible at times (like Sanchez). We know that Fitz can only be handed so much before he starts making mistakes. When you know that as a coach, and you make him the focal point of the offense (spread, throwing the ball in 4 receiver sets) against one of the better defenses in the league you are just asking for trouble. Its like blaming the tiger when he eats the circus leader. You shouldnt have put him in that position, and that is on Gailey IMO.

2.) I agree with your take on Mario. His excuses were weak, IMO.

I agree with the rest of your points, actually. Bills secondary was horrible. Jets did a good job against the pass. Hill was impressive, etc.

is there a torrent where I can DL the whole game entirely?
