he gave the stadium and players a jolt of energy. but that's not a sustainable strategy. we RAN THE BALL with melcroy something we should have done while sanchez was in there. but because melcroy is more limited rex was forced to run the ball more which delivered the win. I think if we ran the ball with sanchez we could have won too
He threw that ball up for grabs, he got lucky. The RB was about to get hit, he shoveled it to him. It was not an ideal situation for a guy who barely plays. The RB gets the heat but it was not a great play by the QB. again, I was happy we scored and won but why would I be happy that mark struggled and was benched? that's b/c Greg was handing it off in the RZ. He didn't have to throw, he threw 1 pass on that drive. A dangerous one in a crowd that our butter fingered WR hed on to. so you think Greg put his inexperienced RB in a good situation on that play? I don't blame Greg for the fumble but he didn't give his RB a chance to succeed there. The smart play is taking the sack or throwing it away like I believe he did on the next drive which I am sure was hammered home after the fumble.
he single handedly won the opener against buffalo. we wouldn't be in the playoff hunt with 1 less win.
Are you fucking kidding me. Like, are you seriously kidding me. Nevermind the fact that every phase of our team scored, but HE single-handedly won. New England one: Red zone turnover. At LEAST three points off the board. We lost by three. Houston: Red zone turnover. At LEAST three points off the board. We lost by 6 (remember, they scored a field goal after nearly taking it to the house). Seattle: Red zone turnover. Would have given us the lead and drastically changed the game. We lose by 3TDs New England two: Redzone turnover. Ass fumble. Gave away at least 10 points. Arizona: Throws an INT on the first play of the game. He was 99 percent instrumental in losing/nearly losing all of the games I've listed. He wasn't instrumental at ALL in the games we won.
Sanchez just can't avoid turnovers. Regardless of big play ability you can't play ground & pound/win w/ defense football if your QB doesn't value ball security & posession. He's just a bad fit
he didn't single handedly beat Buf but he was outstanding that day. he brought us back from 10 down at NE and gave our D a lead int he final minutes he was outstadning at SL, led us back late at Miami and to the GW FG in OT the games that can be blamed on him #1 were maybe SF & Seattle
we DID run the ball with sanchez in there. in fact, we had rushed for 87 yards with sanchez in the game. the problem is its hard to sustain a running game or a drive when your quarterback turns it over 3 times.
you are assuming we would have lost that game had tebow or mcelroy been the starter. i seriously doubt that we would have given how fitzpatrick kept turning it over and thew a pick 6 and the bills defense is terrible
Yes because the play actually was going to work. Bell ran a good 3 yards before getting.hit. If he's so inexperienced then blame Soprano for the personnel change, or Bell for not going out of bounds. But you can't do that because that's ridiculous. Bell is an NFL player, he should be expected to protect the ball.
While the focus is all on the Qb position today, I hope at some point we can talk about Sparano. I give him credit for the TD pass play call, and the two third down conversions that McElroy threw for. But wtf with putting Bell in there??? Who is that guy anyway? So what if McKnight was hurt - was Bell the better choice than Powell or Greene in that situation??? Piss poor job by Sparano on that one.
1.) The Cardinals defense is very good. It is the offense that is horrible. We won because the offense for Arizona is horrible. However, our offense would be much stronger against a team like the Patriots, who's defense is not very good. 2.) The supporting cast did not throw up a prayer on the first play of the game, in which Sanchez has been a custom of doing time and time again. Would a supporting cast be a god send? of course. 3.) No one person is ever 100% of the blame, but Mark Sanchez is a huge part. 4.) I also recommended a trade for Cousins, but I am not sure of how much of an upgrade he is to anyone on our staff. Play McElroy, and see what we have. If we win out, it will be because he manages the game well, not because he will win any games for us. You know like Sanchez did in 09 & 10. 5.) Sanchez has single handily destroyed this team, IMO. Our collapse last year, and the locker room troubles were instigated by Sanchez's play. Is that a pass for the fire burners? No, however, ... In short, yes, it is time to move away from Sanchez, and has been for quite some time.
Let's see what a different QB can do, and see if the execution is any better. Schotty was horrible also, right?
