While I agree, the throw to Cro was a bit off, especially because he had green to go, but IMHO if that was a WR, he would have positioned his feet better and maybe had a shot to come down for a catch.. Ya never know. But I thought Mark was OK. This team fucks with the O too much. As many have said.. NO rhythm whatsoever. It's dis heartening. Sparano should be gone after this season.
Yes, it's yet another OC's fault. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain with the NFL's worst completion percentage and 31st ranked passer rating.
I thought he did restore faith, I was very pleased w/ the way he threw the ball. he missed a couple of throws but overall he played very well especially w/o a run game again. Houston had heat on him all night and he made good decisions, the INts were just bad luck not bad decisions.
I have an idea for you. Take Kerley, Greene, Cumberland, and whichever other explosive offensive player that you want, pick your favorite NFL ready QB, and win some games. You appear to be quite the reasonable person so, as you are implying, with the offensive personnel and QB (not named Mark Sanchez) you should be able to beat both the 49ers and Texans.
There was a deep pass down the sidelines in the 2nd half. Think it was to Kerley ? If he had led that one instead of underthrowing it, it might have been 6. Will have to check the replay to make sure. There was that incomplete pass that went to the corner of the endzone, Schilens was the target. Not sure who that one was on. Could argue all day about that pass to Cumberland at the end. Some people say that if it hits the hands, it should have been a catch. Kind of like how some blame Welker for not catching that pass from Brady in the SB. It was high and behind Cumberland. One thing that Sanchez should have learned in his 3 previous years of starts is that you don't throw passes high across the middle. Then again, with all the complaining that people have done vis a vis Sanchez throwing picks to Dlinemen and having balls batted down at the line, you'd think he would have learned to avoid that as well. Obviously, he didn't. Great plays by Watt, to be sure, but I think some of that is still on Sanchez.
I am inferring that with a couple of accurate passes the Jets would have won the game. With those same receivers and a reasonably good QB we would have won. Not even a great QB, just average.
did you want him to throw the ball through Watt? can we not give credit to a great defensive player for making multiple plays?
I thought he actually almost overthrew that pass with the safety sitting over the top. He had to quickly step up into a dirty pocket like he did all night and made the throw for a long completion. If he threw it any further it would have been a pick. I'd have to rewatch that play but it looked like another instance of having quick pressure and having to get the ball out quickly. The ball came before the route could develop. It wasn't a good throw. It was good enough for Cumberland to catch. It's not like it was off the tips of his fingers, it hit his hands. It was 3rd and 18 with the game on the line and he once again had guys right there ready to sack him. He had to make a quick throw - it was a little off target, yes. It was a fucking quick slant. The read and the throw were fine. The d-lineman made a great play, it happens.
As i told you some seasons ago, the run you made to the AFc championship was because your very good D, and your running game, not because of Sánchez. He is a game manager. Hope you fire sporono he is just destroying Sánchez confidence
it was b/c of many reasons and mark Sanchez was one of those reasons. You need quality QB play to win as consistently as we have.
I thought Mark played better than the last three weeks. But - that isn't saying much. He has been horrid with the rest of the offense. There were throws to be made last night that could have made a difference and they were not made (not always on Sanchez). Watt did make a good play but you guys do recall how many times he tipped a pass last night? It was almost like Mark was looking for him and throwing his direction often. I don't recall a game where I have seen so many passes tipped at the line of scrimmage. Mark was better and the offense was better but there were a lot of points left on the field. Better wasn't quite good enough and wasn't very good really.
Here's a vid of it. Looks to me like there was more than enough room to lead him. Could be wrong, or might just be a difference of opinion. Could be the case. I'll have to watch again as well to see. To me, it was one of those situations where if Cumberland caught it, we'd be saying "Wow, what a great catch". Thing is, by definition, we are saying that it was a poor pass and that the receiver only caught it due to some really great skill. Yeah, and it has been "great plays" every other time a Dlineman intercepts, bats down, or tips a throw from Sanchez. Strangely, it seems that it happens to him a heck of a lot more than most other QBs in the league.
It has come to the point when 3 or 4 good passes actually make people satisfied with Mark. Sad really. For me it is not even worth debating anymore, he is just really really poor.
how about throw it away from him to a wide open player? the ball watt tipped on third down from the 4(the play after tebow ran twice) schilens was wide open and uncovered with no one near him. mark forced it to someone else, who was kinda covered with watt again dropping. maybe a pump fake? maybe slide a bit? maybe throw it to the wide the fuck open guy? maybe throw it in a lane between lineman, not over them?
one thing i will say, is that the coaching staff was finally playing to marks strengths more with so many deeper routes being thrown. he is terrible at short throws and 3 step drops. super inaccurate on the short stuff. both he and tebow. but both are much better throwing deeper down the field. hopefully we stick with that
