Very good game, he did his part and more so to win this game. I'm so happy we picked him in this draft.
People will be talkin about Sanchez for the rest of this decade and with Rex pushing your defense you guys will win some s Super Bowls. Fuck the Patriots, and go AFC!!!! I respect the Hell outta the Jets after today's game. The Jets are the new AFC East. Mark my words.
Mark played far better than anyone could have imagined in the playoffs. Last year with all the talk about Flacco and Ryan during the regular season, but they both was -/+ average in the playoffs. Sanchez really turned it on when it counted, and he demonstrated why the franchise wanted him so badly. It's a great thing to have a quarterback, and it's a better thing to have a quarterback who can act like he's been there before. That Mark has accomplished, and he did it well. Losing Greene today in the 2nd half was a huge hit to the offense. The tandem of Greene and Sanchez will be hallmarks of our team for years to come. I'm truly disappointed in the loss, but I know there are better things on the horizon for this team.
There was no way Mark Sanchez was beating Peyton Manning today. If QB play was going to be the deciding factor that meant a Colt's win. Sanchez did everything we could have asked him to do and still didn't get the Jets on the board in the second half. That's because this offense was not built to move up and down the field in the passing game, it was built to run the ball and our best rusher - and main reason for even being in the AFC championship game - went down with a game (and season) ending injury at the start of the 3rd quarter. That's just what it is.
The bigger the game the better he plays. He was great on MNF against the Dolphins. He was great down the stretch and into the playoffs. He has grown a ton this season. He will be a real asset next season.
He looked poised, calm, and made terrific throws. Still was trying to get the offense pumped near the end. Great game to Sanchez. Future is bright.
I enjoyed his presser. The kid's got what's necessary above his shoulders. The best QBs are students of the game and he's definitely one of them. Add to that his physical gifts, and we've got a true winner
Yeah Mark played pretty well. the D just got worn down. Giving up the TD at the end of the first half was a back breaker.
just hoped our running game would had showed up!!!!The loss of shonn greene was terrible for the team. looking forward for next year. But we can only feel disappointed after leading at half time!!!!
We're going to win a super Bowl sometime in the next few years. We have a good core to build around, Tanny will add to it and Rex will get better too with experience.
I hate to say I told ya so, but... "I told ya so." Sanchez had his best success in that game taking advantage of our secondary giving way too much cushion. I said that at least 4 times this week, that you would never win on the ground against the Colts, but you could take advantage of our secondary. The playcalling just wasn't there for you guys, and I really, honestly believe that if more pass plays were called throughout the game that Sanchez could've won the game on his arm. One pick late in the game tells me that there was a schizsm between he and Brian Schottenheimer. In fewer words I would say that the Jets staff lost the game today, and not the players. You have a real good squad and I think the staff of the Jets aren't so arrogant that they can't learn a lot from this game.
Again, Shonn Greene looked great against you guys before he got injured. It's rather unfair to play the "I told you so" game unless you predicted his injury. Nobody here would have thought Thomas Jones would carry the rushing attack today. He's been dragging it down for weeks. The pick tells you there was a schism? Because the pass was tipped and picked off? What?
As Mark continues to develop, you will see that the kid can put on an aerial show, the Jets will not just be a ground team. Tons of credit to the HC (and the fans for their patience) for believing in the kid and bringing him along slowly, it will pay off big time in the end. Now, just draft his USC favorite target, WR Damian Williams, lol.
I had you until here. I think they should have opened it up a bit more in the 2nd half and throw the ball, but we're a run-first team. We can't suddenly put all the onus on a rookie QB who has been up and down at best this season. The only reason I'd open it up is because without Greene, I felt like running the ball was like beating a dead horse. A late interception shows a schism between the QB and the coordinator? It's the last drive of the game, we're opening it up, he's trying to make a play, and it just didn't happen.
