You are so in denial man....the Jets are nowhere near being a playoff team, they were fortunate to be playing a very very horrible Miami team tonight, after the past 4 games I am convinced that the Jets are going NOWHERE!

Miami should have capitalized on their chances early and buried those guys, Jets were lucky to get a win tonight after the pathetic start they had.

Even the announcers were saying Jaworski could come in and complete the passes Sanchez was completing as Miami had ZERO pass rush period.

San Deigo will confirm next week that the Jets are not a playoff caliber team just you watch.

This statement is false.

Sanchez's bad game in Baltimore was due to a horrific offensive line performance and a great defensive performance from the Ravens.

The problems with the slow starts on offence are attributed to the lack of an early running game.

In fact, Flacco and Sanchez are currently having similar seasons.

no doubt, if marshall didnt catch like plax the dolphins woulda won the game

sanchez is a below average qb at best, his career numbers back that up

and they have no real leader on that defence, bart scott, please

they have won some games in the playoffs and have made some afc championship games, but they didnt win them and their window has closed, they r just not a a good team, at best they finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs

It's ridiculous to classify someone who just began their 3rd season as having a "bad career". Not to mention someone who's one 4 road playoff games in his first two seasons. Not to mention he only played one full season of college ball before declaring for the draft, being a part of a team that has been run-orientated in the first two years, and a defensive minded coach.

Hey primetime who would you rather hace on your team as starting quarterback.

Tony romo or mark shansez

I rather romo because hes an american hero

But hes already had good seasons and led the cowboys to the playoffs even with the worst coaxh in nfl history. I have faith in romo.

Just out of curiousity who whould you rather? Because i think you dislike both.

no its isnt, he has had a bad career so far, u r either getting better or u r not, and he aint getting better

being run oriented has nothing to do with sanchez when he throws the ball, in fact, it should make him more affective, just cuz the jets were a run first team, doesnt give him an excuse to be below average when he throws the ball hahaha

he shoulda stayed in college and grown, he is just lucky he got drafted by a team with a good defence, otherwise he may be a back up somewhere right now

Strong defense, easy schedule will lead Cowboys to division title

October 19, 2011 at 6:59 PM ET

The NFC East race is wide open. No one has emerged as the true leader, and each has had several issues during the first six weeks of the season. The 4-2 Giants have been inconsistent on both sides of the ball, the 3-2 Redskins are changing quarterbacks and the struggles of the 2-4 Eagles have been well documented.

Then there's the 2-3 Cowboys. Dallas has been in every game and made terrible mistakes down the stretch in all three of their losses. Still, it's my opinion that the Cowboys will win the NFC East. Here are three reasons why:

Cowboys have the best defense in the division Rob Ryan has quickly crafted an elite defense in Dallas that is capable of carrying the team to the postseason.

Led by Demarcus Ware , Jay Ratliff and Sean Lee , the Cowboys rank fifth in total defense and are allowing a league-low 69.6 rushing yards a game. The run defense has been spearheaded by a frontline that is owning the line of scrimmage and allows a group of ultra-aggressive linebackers to flow freely to the ball. As a result, the Cowboys are holding opponents to 3.3 yards per carry. More importantly, that number drops to 3.19 yards per attempt on first down, which allows Ryan to unleash his exotic pressure in long-yardage situations.

The blitz-heavy defense has also been effective against the pass. The unit has 16 sacks -- led by Ware's seven -- and forces opposing quarterbacks into errant throws. Although the Cowboys have failed to generate many takeaways with the blitz, the pressure makes opponents settle for quick throws and the unit has done an exceptional job rallying to the ball. Consequently, Dallas has surrendered only 15 plays of 20-plus yards, third-fewest in the league, and not given up easy scores.

This was on display against the Patriots . Dallas held the league's most explosive offense to 20 points. While the effort didn't result in a win, it showed the potential of the defense.

Jason Garrett will eventually solve the red-zone woes Dallas has a star-studded offense, but the unit has struggled in one critical area: The red zone.

The Cowboys are near the bottom of the league in red-zone efficiency with only 33.3 percent of those drives resulting in touchdowns. Their ineptitude inside the 20 has been critical in each of their losses. Turnovers, penalties and poor execution have minimized scoring opportunities. Considering the Cowboys have played in 11 straight games decided by four points or fewer, the miscues become even more important.

Part of Garrett's problems generating points has been due to the absence of Miles Austin and Dez Bryant . Both receivers have missed time while nursing injuries, and that has prevented Garrett from getting the ball to his best playmakers at critical points of a game.

However, Austin and Bryant are almost fully healthy and that will encourage Garrett to take more chances. Rather than using misdirection or deception to finish off scoring chances, the Cowboys can throw back-shoulder fades or combination routes to attack the end zone.

By putting their best players in favorable matchups, the red-zone production will certainly improve and result in more wins.

The schedule works in their favor The Cowboys had a tough opening slate, but the schedule-makers did them a huge favor with several winnable games in the middle of the season. Dallas' next seven opponents have a combined winning percentage of .324, with only the Bills and Redskins currently above .500.

The Cowboys get three home dates -- St. Louis (10/23), Seattle (10/30) and Buffalo (11/13) -- over the next four weeks, which gives them a chance to gain significant ground on their divisional rivals.

While road games against the Eagles and Redskins certainly will be tough, the Cowboys can control their own destiny down the stretch.

I wonder what you guys think. I think its highly probable for them to win the division but only if they beat the eagles next sunday night. The eagles season isnt completely over yet but if we beat them then their done. If we beat st.louis(if we dont something big will happen) and beat philly we will be 4-3 with a couple of should win games against weaker opponents.

What defines a "bad career". His first season he through 12 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. His team, a run first team, made it into the playoffs. He went on the road to two division champions home stadiums, played very well which is indisputable, then lost in the AFC Championship game to a very good Colts team.

The following year he has 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. A visible improvement. Not only that but he led his team to 6 game winning drives in the 4th quarter. The Jets once again went on the road to two division champions stadiums. Beat the defending AFC Champions, led by a game winning drive by Sanchez. The next week they went into the stadium of what many people thought would be the Superbowl Champions and led by a great performance from Sanchez beat the Patriots. The following week Sanchez almost lead a comeback from a 24 point deficit to win, but fell short.

This year he's thrown 9 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Improving on completion % and QB rating.

I really don't understand your argument, because based on statistics thus far, he has progressed every year he's been in the league.

And yes, a run-first team would hurt the development of a quarterback. Emphasizing the run would limit the passes being thrown, thus limiting the growth bubble for a quarterback.

Many quarterbacks who have been in the league years longer than Sanchez have yet to even win one playoff game: Matt Ryan, Carson Palmer, Matt Schuab, including two QB's drafted in the same year as him: Matt Stafford and Josh Freeman. As well as QBs that have one only one playoff game: Tony Romo

Jerome Harrison has brain tumor

The proposed trade of running back Jerome Harrison to Philadelphia was voided because Harrison was found to have a brain tumor.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter breaks the news and points out that the failed trade could be a blessing in disguise for Harrison. Without the trade, Harrison wouldn’t have taken a physical that revealed the tumor.

This helps explain how Harrison wasn’t on the injury report last week: The Lions had no idea.

Rr11 reminds me of that poster from a couple seasons ago , the alleged Patriots fan who always posted "get yo popcorns ready". At least this guy is a little more tolerable.

And swifty check your grammar, he threw not through touchdowns. He also won not one games. Just saying. :)
