the best part about that is....the Broncos traded away a 1st round pick in order to select Alphonso Smith......McDaniels is a tard.
1) It could have been worse, they could have had an Away game on the West Coast Monday night. 2) Cromartie will be covering Brandon Lloyd who is not a small receiver. We may give up 300 yards in the air but we still have a good shot at winning if we control the game with our running.
I don't know what the Broncos are bitching about....they were getting the calls all fucking game. The refs were doing everything they can to hand the Broncos the game. Hell...Thomas's touchdown wasn't even a TD....
Yeah pretty much seemed that way. These were the stats though. NYJ - Penalties (Number-Yards) 6 - 74 Broncs - Penalties (Number-Yards) 5 - 81 Surprising stat: 3rd down efficiency. Both teams tied on 38%. I don't think that the Denver fans are saying we didn't deserve to win, and I have to agree (partly) with this, they beat themselves and didn't capitalise on opportunities that were gifted. If we were at home and the scoreline reversed I would be gutted, and this board would be lit up with SOJ - BS.
Even bringing up the incomplete pass by Orton right before the bad snap is ridiculous - it wasn't even slightly questionable that it was either PI or a complete pass. Funny, I don't remember people saying that it wasn't fair that the Jets lost in week 1 because of all of those PI penalties on Cromartie - I could swear people were saying that "undisciplined" teams deserve to lose.
When you get a 50 yard PI penalty, it kind of skews things, no? When in your life have you ever seen 2 offensive PI in a drive? The Holmes OPI was a phantom call. the Coleman DH was a phantom call. I'd say that about 4-5 of those penalties called on the Jets boggled my mind to the point that I looked and looked, but saw nothing that was penalty worthy. Add in the review that took 10 seconds (sometimes they take 5 minutes for something really simple) that should have not been a catch, but was called one. The TD that shouldn't have been a catch, but was called one. Even Dierdorf who doesn't like the Jets was questioning a lot of calls against the Jets.
In tight games, the Jets are doing what the Super Bowl winning Patriots did; hang in the game and wait until the opponent makes mistakes, capitalize, and never look back. This is how you recognize a SB team...kudos to the Jets on winning a game with all the odds against them.
Was there even a question on the Thomas play? Did McDaniels actually think it was a catch? What's worse is the article looks like it was written by some amatuer blogger not some ESPN schill who does it for a living.
I thought the same thing on that long pass before the game ending fumble. He never caught that, it hit the ground clear as day.
