but if the offense didn't go scoreless in the 1st half in the 2010 AFC championship game, we probably make the SB that year. You can't put all the blame on the defense, what you expect for the defense to hold Pitt scoreless for the entire half? the offense had to play its part too.
I'll give you that the Jets haven't had a player of Ray Rice's caliber over these years, but don't you think Flacco deserves a lot of credit for what those recieving targets have done? For example - if you put Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones, Pitta, etc. on the Jets they'd be nobodies because Sanchez wouldn't be able to get them the ball. Hell Jacoby Jones IS a nobody already. Not a chance Torrey Smith looks this good at all with Mark Sanchez trying to complete passes to him. He'd probably be look alot like Jeremy Kerley or Clyde Gates... Put Sanchez on this year's Ravens team with the same scenarios and they don't make the playoffs. Not a chance in hell he beats New England, Pittsburgh on the road, Cincinnati, and the Giants. They'd be on the outside looking in. Put Flacco on the Jets this year and theres a good chance we get into the dance. Most people can give someone else credit when it becomes obvious that it's due. For some reason you have to downplay the accomplishments of others just so you can keep your arguments in tact, even if it goes against reality. Don't you think that it's possible that Flacco has improved as an NFL QB and Mark Sanchez has not? Don't you think it's possible that you were wrong about Sanchez - and continuing to compare him favorably against a Joe Flacco might look pretty dumb?
Talent around you is a large factor, yes. Just like it was a factor when MS was surrounded by talent out in California and had good success while starting in only 16 talent-surrounded games. And then even Pete Carol indicated that maybe with only 16 talent-surrounded games, maybe he's not ready. Did we listen? No. And then we reward the guy last winter with $50 million after he stinks up the field in 4 of his last 5 games in '11. I mean, what was Tannenbaum thinking?
The D allowed Pitt to control the clock. Our O only had it 9 mins in the 1st half and still scored 3 which was only 4 less than Bal yesterday.
Yeah but, that doesn't count. If the rest of the team wasn't holding him back, Mark might just be the greatest QB of all time.
We were in a situation where we had to pass, if not for the D being run over maybe we could run it and play conservative there? as it was Sanchez was blindsided while throwing, it easily could have been called a forward pass. Even w/ that he led us down for a quick FG before the half and a quick TD to start 2nd half to get us back in it.
Flacco has a cannon and allows Baltimore to run that vertical passing game. Sanchez doesnt have the arm to make those 20 yards throws outside the hashes.
i don't remember every details of the game anymore, but i remember seeing the offense being stagnant, and the defense giving up big plays. if the defense is struggling the offense should be able to pick up the slack and vice versa.
The bomb? Every QB in the league can make that throw. Im talking about the passes 20 yards down the field you need to throw on a rope outside the hash marks.
nyjunc is Sanchez's mother. That's the only reason why he is one of maybe 3 people on this board who is defending him.
Pitt got 1st possession and held the ball for NINE minutes and scored a TD, that set the tone. [YOUTUBE]UE-1n1Y04pQ[/YOUTUBE] go to 1:47 mark. and the Hou pass wasn't just a bomb, it was a perfectly placed deep ball btw 2 defenders.
haha, "suspect" is the understatement of the century. And you can add ACCURACY to your "susspect" list.

Sanchez is absolutely deplorable in the two single most important aspects of quarterback play: 1) Accuracy, and 2) Decision Making.
LOL. So fucking true. Two or three pointless pump-fakes followed by either: 1) Missing a wide open receiver, 2) Getting his pass knocked down at the line, or 3) throwing an awful interception, pretty much epitomizes Mark Sanchez.
