Comments on: Texans stay undefeated, but Jets hang tough

I fault the coaches for their blind dedication to a mediocre QB. Innaccurate Sanchez threw behind his receivers several times causing blown oppoertunities & interceptions. It’s Not what you have to Lose by trying Tebow out – it’s what the Jets can GAIN by giving him the helm.

So many overlook the proven record of 7-1 in a challenging trial by fire as a mid season starter.
nd a playoff victory over the Steelers. Ignore that? Ignore this:

Tebow set NFL records for yards per completion and yards per attempt in a playoff game. He was the first quarterback to throw for more than 300 yards against the Steelers. The overtime victory, which spanned one play and 11 seconds, was the shortest OT contest ever, and that includes the regular season. The game-winning 80-yard pass play was the longest touchdown pass in NFL overtime history.
and, oh yeah … his avg yds/carry as a rookie: 5.3
But Jets coaches just yawn. The ignorance!

I hope they quit blacklisting Tebow for being an outspoken Christian soon…

YHWH turned Peyton’s arm into a noodle for his help in the blacklisting…

Texans allowed the Jets to feel good about themselves.

Schaub threw an INT into double coverage that led to a TD and they gave up the TD on the kick return.

Without those two mistakes we are talking about a 23-3 victory.

Not sure I would call 45% completion percentage and 2 INTs “a pretty good game”.

Jets could have won. D played great. Why do Jets fans think Sanchez is so wonderful. Under 50% again, 2 int, couple of knock downs, can’t move in the pocket, inaccurate. Had a chance to come up big at the end and came up very small.

Where was the “complete implosion” of the Jets that I kept hearing about? The Jets never lead in the game, of course, but Jets kept it a lot tighter than I was expecting.

Man, JJ Watt is tough. My Bears play the Texans in a few weeks. Should be a great game.

I hate it when anybody says an NFL team “hangs tough” or says anything similar. Like they’re some Division 3 school playing Alabama. Every NFL team should “make it a good game”.

—————————

Let me help you out on this. No Jet fan in their right mind thought the Jets were winning last night. In fact, when every starting receiver and 2 tight ends are injured on an already talent thin receiving core for the Jets it was an absolute shocker they had 230 passing yards. When Clyde Gates and some guy named Hill are seeing significant time on the field as wide receiver that is the NFL equivalent to D III.

Some folks on here are bashing on Sanchez. He actually had a pretty good game against a very stout D. He made some really nice completions down field.

Got to give the D some credit here. The way they played in the 2nd half especially late in the 4th is the D we have been seeing that past 3 seasons with Rex. We need to play that tough for 4 QTrs. Also, Greene had some nice tough runs late – needs to build on that.

Lastly, Sanchez! I have defended this kid from day 1 and last night is no different. He is badly missing Keller for that middle field option. He made some bad throws but he made better ones as well. That pass to Cro was nice (little to outside for a DB) and he was placing the ball where the receivers could get it. I know that stats wont show it but Sanchez played a nice game.

Sanchez was solid. And the two picks weren’t his fault.

The Jets pissed off a lot of people by losing last night. They pissed off a lot more by not losing by ten, though.

They played tough, but it was mostly trick plays that kept them in the game. Trust Sparano to keep doing this, he was the same with the Dolphins. It’s confusing just watching this stuff. I guess it was the only way the Jets could stay in the game. Sanchez has no one to throw the ball to. Gates the ex dolphin went down injured, and he was useless with the Dolphins. If that’s the extent of their talent, they have problems.

Can’t put this squarely on Sanchez. He may not be a good QB but he doesn’t have any talent around him either.

Sparano had some good playcalls. but overall his coaching was disgraceful in this game. Why are you so confused as to when Tebow goes in and out? Don’;t you do pregame prep? Example: 1st and goal at the 3, there is confusion, And why waste Sanchez over there? And Tebow gets stuffed. But you useTebow 4 times from the 3(and yes from the 3 with Tebow you go 4 downs), you will get a TD and make it 23-21.
And then there were times where they would bring Tebow in and then take him out and even worse there would be confusion leading to a wasted timeout. Outside the red zone, I dont care if you use Tebow or not, but be decisive. Even before the half, once you get near the 15, why isn’t Tebow in there? The indecision by the coaches cost them a virtual shutout in the red zone. They made two trips , gave up a FG on one and scored a FG on the other.

Oh, and JJ Watt was a damn steal at #11. Wow, this guy is for real.

Watt is unbelievable. Definitely DPOY so far this year.

Judging Sanchez per game is the wrong way to go about this. All you need to ask yourself is:

Will Sanchez ever be an elite QB?
Will the Jets ever win a Super Bowl with Sanchez?

The answer to both is no. Starting Tebow is just for fun, but it solves the bigger problem, you get to move away from Sanchez and start planning for a new QB. Let Tebow suck it up the rest of the year, and then have your new franchise QB ready to go for next year, either through the draft or trade.

Jets kept it a game with cheap shots and faulty headsets. Wouldn’t expect anything less from those NY dirtbags. That’s they only way they would have had a chance.

Jut because they didn’t get blown out Jets fans are happy?! That’s just pathetic. They will be lucky if they win even ONE more game

The quarterback is the leader, and a team can’t win with two drama queens. When the jets got Tebow they should have traded Sanchez. All this silly drama isn’t necessary.

Good game Jets, everyone had the Texans blowing them out. I believe the Texans DB’s didn’t take the Jets offense serious until the fourth quarter. As a Texans, I say the DB’s better step it up the next game against the Packers. Good game by both teems!

Time to bench Sanchez, he’s bringing down the rest of his team. The team has absolutely no enthusiasm..reminds me of the Bronco’s last year before Tebow came the starter. At least Tebow will bring that enthusiasm that the Jet players badly need and lets face facts..Sanchez has the worst percentage of the league, almost like last year. Sanchez reminds me of a broken record player.. all i see is the same old song being played..he’s bad for the team and i just cant find the correct words to describe what i mean.

Tebow on the other hand at least is “always” productive…and can lift the spirits of his players 10fold…some times that is all that is needed, ala 2nd half of the season of the broncos last year.

You do NOT have to be a top tier quarterback to be a great quarterback…

Tebow has three weapons, while sanchez only has one.

Tebow Weapon: When his passing is on, its ON. Running the ball and team enthusiasm..this is what Tebow can deliver to any team.

Sanchez Weapons: When his passing is on, its ON. Sanchez has nothing else, period.

Let’s not get too carried away with the Texans title talks just yet. Their opponents combined record is 8 – 17 and every team they’ve beaten is sub .500

I won’t say that Houston is not good, they’re very good, but people are too high on them at this early stage.

This game was better than I thought it would be. I figured the Texans would kill the Jets but it was a pretty good game. Man JJ Watts is a beast ! May be Defensive player of the year if he keeps this up.

Another great gameplan by Kubiak, establish the pass early then run all day, trust your D. As a Tezxn fan, if I,had ti nitpick, their special teams are terrible.
However, if that is as bad as it will get, I will yake it all daya

Not a fan of either team here but props to the Jets for coming out after being punched in the face like they were last week and hearing that this week would be even worse against Houston and hanging in there and making tonight’s game quite competitive. Granted, Houston didn’t play their best game but the Jets certainly could have done better as well given their patchwork roster.
