We all know the Jets fellas...this one will be close all the way through. We'll have oppurtunities to close it out early but will shit the bed as per the norm. I think this one will come down to a field goal in the end. 20 - 17
Either you don't watch the games or don't understand them. My guess is you're looking at the stat line to come to the conclusion you did. Outside of 3 games Sanchez has played well. When Clemens got in it was a complete train wreck. He was worse than Sanchez in his worst game this year. I swear Nick Mangold could have done better.

Actually, after reading that simple fact, if we don't run the ball like maniacs on Sunday and keep throws to a minimum, then we are idiots. Our defense should be able to hold their point total down. No guarantees, but we should win this game; also, no excuses.
Honestly on paper we should handle them even if Sanchez isn't on his game. As long as the kid doesn't throw some Pick Six's, we should be alright this week. If they lose I'll be depressed for a really long time. I'm looking forward to hitting up the bar Week 15 for the Jets/Falcons game and rooting against Miami, Jax, Den, etc. PLEASE WIN!
Ten most intriguing players of Week 14 by Pat Fitzmaurice ~ ~ 9. Antonio Bryant — It was starting to look as if this would be a lost season for Bryant, but he's come on strong in his last two games, catching eight balls for 207 yards and a TD. Rookie QB Josh Freeman may be unrefined, but to his credit, his top pass catchers, Bryant and TE Kellen Winslow, aren't going hungry while Freeman learns on the job. Before fantasy owners give Bryant the green light for this week, however, they should consider that Bryant will likely be matched up against :wink: Jets CB Darrelle Revis :wink: , who's spent his season shutting down a who's-who list of the NFL's top wide receivers :beer: . > http://www.profootballweekly.com/2009/12/09/ten-most-intriguing-players-of-week-14
He has done okay for a rookie. Which is fine. But lets not make believe that Sanchez is a good QB at this stage because he simply isn't that good. He has appeared to be improving lately. Hopefully he will continue to improve and come into his own next season.
My point is that Clemens is terrible. Worse than Sanchez on his worst day. Sanchez has done well outside of three terrible games. He's not Peyton Manning, but he's done well for a rookie.
That bolded part is the same nonsense you will be spewing if Clemens comes out and lays a goose egg on Sunday as well. The guy just sucks.
I have faith in Clemens 4 point spread aganst a 1-11 team that's ranked 31st against the run, and playing the #1 rushing team in the league ... are you kidding me???? Didn't anyone notice how we ran all over teams that have terrible rushing defenses???? Take a look at # 32 Buffalo TWICE ( 300+ yds & 250 yds) and #30 Raiders (300+ yards).This will be more of the same. And, not to mention ... they're #29 in points scored and we're #4 in points allowed. In reality, we've given up the fewest points in the league when our defense is actually on the field. I honestly can't see how they're going to score more than 10 points against us. Of course its a road game, and we're playing our backup QB, but still ... As long as we don't turn the ball over time and time again we should win this game comfortably ... Just ask Clemens to manage the game and not do too much. 26 - 10 JETS with TJ rushing for 150+.
I don't know bros, Clemens is better than Sanchez. I wouldn't be surprised if Clemens has a good day against tampa. Sanchez really hasn't done that well. UNexperienced, and i think Clemens will play well. Jets 17 Bucs 10
Putting up 17 points does not mean it was a good day for clemens seeing as how revis will have 2 pick 6s
