Yesterday Felt Like 2009 All Over Again
Now I know yesterday was a game against the Colts so nobody is gonna give the Jets any credit. I guess we’ll just forget the the fact that they beat the Packers last week. But yea I get it – the Colts aren’t exactly the best barometer for NFL competition. But I’m looking at the bigger picture here, which is this – when the rest of this team steps up and does their jobs, Mark Sanchez does what he needs to do. Yesterdays game looked like 2009 and 2010 when Ground and Pound was in effect and Mark managed every game and played within the system to win. I don’t wanna say he shined yesterday because 11/18 for 82 yards isn’t exactly Pro Bowl material. But Mark Sanchez never has been that, and he’s never gonna be that. He may not have lit the world on fire yesterday but he played that game exactly how he should have and guided his offense to a monster win. Its amazing what happens when you give the guy a running game and a few receivers stepping up and making plays for him, huh? He got all the blame when absolutely nobody else was doing their jobs. Now that Shonn Greene and the rest of the offense decided to join the 2012 season I think he deserves some of the credit for leading them.
So now here we stand – 6 weeks into the season and sitting atop the AFC East with 2 division wins – with yesterday being the first game we’ve really seen the potential of this team. Week 1 at Buffalo was an indicator as well but yesterday was the first time we saw Shonn Greene and the rest of the running game have a pulse. The first time we saw the Jets D own their opposition like they used to. The first time we saw Sanchez relax like he didn’t have the weight of the world on his shoulders any more and lead his offense. Fuck even the first time we saw Tebow contribute in a positive way. I know Weeks 2 through 5 was nothing to brag about, but yesterday could potentially be this team turning a corner. Next up – at New England against Tom Brady and Belichick. Some injuries to the ground game is gonna hurt and playing at Foxboro is never a walk in the park – but I view next week as an opportunity. Nobody expects you to win but if you do, the entire season is different. Embrace that.
Are you fucking kidding me, you guys beat a rookie QB who was on the road and a mediocre team at best. Sanchez is a joke of a QB and Jets fans are delusional thinking the games against the lowly Bills and Colts are more indicative than the blowout loss to the 49ers, at home mind you.
if this was 09, Peyton & Wayne would have 300 yards and 4 touchdowns
I really hope you’re just trolling, because if not you’re the worst pink hat fan in history. After every loss the team sucks, after every W the pom poms come back out.
You guys will be back to running this team out of town next week. Jets blow.
So if yesterday felt like 2009 then that means you’re also not expecting a Super Bowl title.
Relax bro. The Jets are still the joke of the NFL, they have exactly ZERO playmakers on either side of the ball. Just because a team like the Colts can’t stop a basic inside run or punt fake, doesn’t mean your gimmicky shit is all of a sudden going to lead you to a Super Bowl. Until you upgrade your safeties, DBs (Cromartie’s nowhere near a top corner regardless of what he thinks), DLine, RB, WRs, OLine, QB, and coaching to the point you are competitive with other top teams, the Jets are irrelevant, even when they beat the doormat of the NFL from last season. But hey, at least you have one TE who can make some plays when healthy (never).
This could honestly be the most pathetic blog I’ve ever read on this site
Jesus fucking Christ you’re bipolar.
Lamest KFC blog I’ve ever read. Was this intended to be actual analysis of the Jets game? Totally pathetic.
YAY more runner up medals for sanchez….AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HERE WE COME
of course KFC, who could forget the great Jets dynasty of 2009 and 2010
Managing my ass. Yes he was efficient, but he only threw for 89 yards. The only way the Jets win is when they gain a ton of yards on the ground and Sanchez DOESN’T NEED to throw. Because when he does he sucks.
I can’t believe you’re giving your QB any credit throwing for 82 yards when your running back goes for 161. That game was won by Shonn Greene and nobody else
There is literally nothing KFC can write about the Jets that will not be met with outrage from New England stoolies. Whether he praises the team or is critical of them its always “the lamest/dumbest/most pathetic” thing these commentors have every read.
RGIII ran for nearly twice as many yards as Sanchez threw
