It was conclusive enough to reverse the call on the field? I always though that since Brady's non throwing hand touched the ball, it stopped the tuck and went back to he was normally holding it. Also factor in somehow Big Ben last week was called for an incomplete pass as a fumble last week against NYG and people were saying tuck rule to counter the fumble call, I really don't understand the strange rule. Seems it's up to the discretion of the ref more than a steadfast rules. Those rules (like the old pushout rule) always are messed up the most
I literally laughed out loud when Marky threw the RZ INT. I never in my life would have ever dreamed I could laugh at such a thing. I can't even get upset anymore. I watch, and I laugh. The next step is not watching at all. Never since the days of the NY Titans, correction, never since I have ever watched football have I gotten to the point that I am now... laughing at my own team. Can it get worse than that? Laughing at a team that I have lived and died with for 50 years?
I disagree with you on your "stop gap" point. If you can use a "stop gap" QB to salvage a season, you do so. Honestly, if you mitigate some of the mistakes today, we are in this game. Our offense KILLS our defense more times then not. Today the defense played great for 3 quarters, and then they fell apart. If we had someone who could "manage" the offense and take care of the football, this team could be better then the record states. They aren't a juggernaut by any means, but it could be better.
I'm right there with ya bud. I'm totally numb to what's going on with the Jets. It's impossible to feel anything about this team right now.
Not such a gamble when you have the prior input of many medical experts. Other NFL players have successfully recovered from the same surgery. Manning had a number of offseason workouts, and had the best trainers and coaches that money can buy. A gamble, maybe, but not massive.
Sanchez WAS a game manager his first 2 years, I agree. He's not anymore. As "confidant" as he claims he is, you can tell he's rattled. It almost reminds me of David Carr. Game managers don't force balls, they throw them away. A game manager's #1 priority is ball security. Mark subconsciously cannot perform that action.
It could be better, but I don't think good enough to make the playoffs. The defense played GREAT today, something new to see. They have been inconsistent, this was their first Great game. And the only way to get a stop gap QB is $ next season or draft picks.Draft picks, now way. Signing Hasselback or something like that while drafting a QB in the next year or year after, sure. But I don't think someone like him will be available so we will have to use draft picks. I don't want to use draft picks on another subpar QB
Everything involving Tebow and Denver's success in your post replace with Denver defense and it would be more accurate, the post season news conference means nothing, you are using hindsight to cloud your judgement when it comes to Manning, it was a 36 year old QB that is coming off a career threatening injury that you would have to give a massive long term contract to. If the Manning situation wasn't a gamble, Manning would still be a Colt right now
He's always had that Romo, Eli, Big Ben in him that wants to make the big play, that always wants it. Problem is we have stuck inbetween a game manager (What the FO wanted) vs what he is (a slinger that makes you scratch your head). He's inbewtween and the worst of both worlds right now.
As stupid as it may sound, I think this team can hang with anyone if everything is clicking. But like you said, they are way to inconsistent. I'm really only worried about this season at this point. I can't even get wrapped up into next season yet. Especially since they reupped Sanchez this year, and that is really going to make the QB situation a bigger mess in the offseason.
I think the rule sucks. The rule should never have been put in the rule book but it is there. Walt Coleman made the correct call based upon how the ridiculous rule was written.
Absolutely horrible! The Kids is not an elite player! He can have good games , but at this point in his career Mark Sanchez is not able to compensate for weaker areas on the team. Was Seattle dominate? No! We were right there until two time where Sanchez turned the ball over. Let me also state that Giving Tim Tebow the start will not change any thing what so ever. This team is done and the Season is over! Doesn't matter Even if the Jest pull the typical shit of running off a couple of wins and then shitting the bed again like they always do .
Honestly at this point I want Tebow just to make this season a little interesting. Right now it looks like a 5-6 win team, may as well get some excitement going with Tebow...
Giving an old QB who may have his skills fading naturally anyway coming off a major injury where he lost a year, an injury that isn't typical of a regular football injury, we are talking about spine surgery not something like an ACL, where he himself had no idea how he was going to play the richest contract in NFL history is nothing but a massive gamble
No that makes sense, it's the inconsistency. The O line is inconsistent, our QB is and our receivers are. The few times Sancehz threw spot on passes we have seen Hill (Ne game and others), Keller (this game specifically), Hilliard all drop passes. Then when the O line consistently gives Sanchez time, SAnchez is inconsistent. It's inconsistency all around. Also, Hilliard has been terrible at pass protection. But that's a side note Interesting. Well yeah, they still benefited on a fluke thing in general. Because everyone on that field thought it was fumble. Bill can say after the fact he had a feeling it was the tuck rule, but everyone thought it was a fumble and acted like it. Shocking reversal, good for the refs for knwoing the whole rulebook I guess.
For the few remaining Sanchez supporters out there: Name 2 good reasons why Sanchez should start over any of the other QB's on the roster.
