Can’t argue on any of these points. You could say the Jets got lucky because they never got anywhere near out endzone until the “interception” (lucky bobble) that put them in striking distance. But if we were doing so well holding them at bay, why couldn’t we deliver the goods? One measly touchdown? Props to the Jets defense for holding us down, too, but it almost felt like we were fine being just slightly ahead since the prospect of a Jets score was so dim. But once they passed us, they were energized in a way we never were (but should have been), and we got exactly what we deserved (and the penalties were stupid, though I can understand the jitters on the line since the Jets were so blitz happy). And I don’t blame Kaeding, but I suspect a lot of people will, most of all himself.
:sigh: Now, I’m going to root for the Jets because being beat by a pre-destined Cinderella story is much better than being beaten by Colts cannon fodder. GO JETS!!! :D:D:D:D:D
I put San Diego’s result down to the sort of massive over-hype that comes from beating up on an inferior division, and not having people pay attention to it.
Wrong play, AG. The bobble catch was made by Revis, and it was in Jets territory. The int that set up the td was made by Leonhard, who had the ball thrown directly at him.
Yeah, I usually try to defend kickers, because it seems like all people remember is their misses (except if you’re Adam Vinatieri, then it’s the opposite). But it’s hard not to put this on Kaeding, at least partly.
Also, 0 for 5 against the Jets the last two weeks, that has to be some kind of weird record.
Mark Sanchez has now tied the Jets franchise record for playoff wins by a starting QB. Joe Namath, Chad Pennington, some guy from the 82 season, and now Sanchez are all tied with two wins. How pathetic is your franchise when the most playoff wins of any QB in your history is TWO?
Mark Sanchez has now started more games in the NFL than he did in college. (17 vs 16)
