***Official N.Y. Jets @ Patriots Thursday Night Football Game Thread***

Wow, so Tannehill started on the 20, a whole 8 yards closer to the endzone than Geno in last year's Ravens game. Fact is, he got Sturgis one yard closer at 57 than Geno did Folk at 58. The fact that penalties nullified a closer, more makeable FG is no excuse. That's on poor coaching, just as no time outs are on the Glorified DC who has now won a shade over 40% of his games since imploding in game 14 in 2011. Last night's relative ineptitude in the redzone because of penalties? Hell, isn't holding a likely reason why those plays worked at all? Not a valid excuse.
And as far as Sturgis's 57 yard FG miss? Who's to say if it was from the 42, where it should have been if the Fins got the same pushing call that the Jets got vs the Pats, it wouldn't have been made? The reality is that both teams ended up 8-8 because of that inconsistent call that season.
To quote junc back in '12 when Carpenter blew 2 FGs:
the jest are 1-5 and deserve to be 1-5

And of course, there should be no expectation of making a long FG or speculating what could or should have alternatively happened as junc has conveniently argued over the years going back to the several games where Carpenter missed FGs that could well have made a difference in several games and ditto Sturgis last season... not to mention Kaedig missing his makeable 57 yarder as well as chip shots 36 & 40 in the 09 playoff game where Sanchez crapped the bed, scored on a Rivers interception at the 20 field position, handed off to Greene for a 54 yard TD run and "set up" his own kicker from the 46 LOL.
Whether it was Geno screwing up, or the coaching as far as penalties and terrible field management, thinking the game should have been winable when boiling down to a questionable 57 yard field goal is "speculative fantasy" at its best. Last night's game was the opposite of the warning printed on the passenger sideview mirror: "this game was not as close as it appeared."

If you haven't noticed, 98% of the board hates Tannehill so you sticking to your guns claiming people are saying he's awesome is completely false.
Actually going back to the implosion in '11 when they were 8-5 facing 3 teams with losing records, it's actually 15-27. (you know, the year that some vets including future HOF'er LT recounted that he was clueless while the clubhouse was exploding and coddling the inept QB). 2009 was proven to be a Polian gift, so if you think about it, outside of 2010, he has not had a legitimate winning record, nor a division title, even in his one legit year.

and 99.5% of 3 jets boards hated Sanchez a year or more before he was done; apparently the team that knew him best did also as well as any teams in the market for a starting QB, and most in the market for a backup).

Seriously. You are the one reaching and changing rhyme and reason (not that you actually can reason in the first place).
Here is a reach: Jets 1-6
Reach? Naaaaaaaaa. Reality.
you don't b/c you look silly when you do like in this instance. you are absolutely nuts.

he is the one who brought him, please try to keep up in the discussions.

he was in 2nd place last year and very well may end up there again this year. Long way to go.

and 98% of those folks are wishing we had Sanchez right now.

WOW...2nd place in the division...did he get a trophy? Still worst coaching record over the last 3 years:lol2:
No, to the contrary, the overwhelming majority of realists on JetNation.. actually would prefer to take their chances with what's behind Curtain Number 3... like Marcus Mariota. To the majority of them, Geno may look awful but Sanchez doesn't get to look better in the rear view mirror.
I should care about average fans why? most fans want new QBs and new HCs every 2 years. I don't worry about what most people think. those are the same people that will want Mariota gone in 2 years.
You could be right, that may well be.. (as we can somewhat see here in the main forum), but after 4 years, it looks like on JN "familiarity bred contempt"
I don't understand why Geno always looks so good against us and looks so awful against everyone else.
Anyway, we can't stop the run now. Life without Mayo may be hard. Hopefully we find a way but our previously vaunted defense looked like absolute crap with Mayo gone.

Peace out
It is because it's a division game. Division games can go anyway.
