He lost his balance because he was looking back at the DB and not looking where he was going and making a bee line to the end zone. It caused him to drift closer to the side line. He wanted to see the DB chasing him.
I blame Brandon Marshall

He did drop the slant though. I would love to defend him, but he needs to start making these catches in the end zone. Revis made a play on one, but the slant even though it was behind him should have been caught and he should have been able to stay in bounds for another TD.
fair enough

Im not gonna sit here and say we lost because of BM, because thats retarded. He really has not been playing well though. Definitely not playing at the level he is capable of.
For sure, but I don't think that will last. Dude did go over 100 yesterday, 5 for 66 against revis; so if you're going for over 100 and the fans are still blaming you, then maybe he should take that as a compliment.
I think people have been far too hasty heaping blame on Marshall. You have to consider that part of that might be Quarterback related. Three straight years of 100+ catches with Cutler and Orton and a fourth of 86 with combination Henne, Penne, & Thigpen. So is he regressing? Maybe it is partially quarterback related, and maybe he's having a stretch of drops like all receivers go through at times. I certainly don't think he's a bad receiver all of the sudden, and definitely wouldn't want to trade the guy.

This statement I took particular umbrage to. Think of Brandon Marshall as a chess piece. This chess piece has certain moves and abilities; Now, is it the pieces fault if the piece-master isn't using him correctly? No, that's on the coaches. If you don't like that we're passing more often in the redzone than you think we should, doesn't somehow make that Marshall's fault. That's on Daboll.

The Oracle
Marshall was not pass interfered. Watch the tape carefully, Marshall had lost his balance and was falling on his face. Revis slightly grabbed him to keep Marshall from also knocking him down. It looked like a poor block.
Brandon Marshall caused the Revis interception so did that help our defense? Each time we ran the ball down to the redzone and then starting throwing stupid passes and then had to kick another FG, did that help our defense?
And FUXK Marshall's 100 yards. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FREAKING YARDS, YARDS DO NOT COUNT. TOUCHDOWNS COUNT.
I would have rather had D Thomas RUN for a 100 yards.
The whole point is that our offensive game plan was to FORCE THE FOOTBALL AGAINST THE BEST CORNER IN THE NFL.
Instead of running a normal offense against a team that has problems against the run, we throw 11-12 passes to a WR with mental problems being covered by the best corner in football.
How many other teams go into facing the Jets and say "the first thing we have to do is attack Revis 12-15 times". "Good call Bob, the only way to beat the Jets is to attack Revis over and over and over. And O yea, let's make sure that Revis KNOWS 10 days ahead of time what our game plan is".
3rd and 3 is not a passing down for us. 2nd and goal is not a passing down for us. 3rd and goal is not a passing down for us.
The Jets are having problems against the run but they still have 3 very good corners so we....run 25 times and throw 34. We ran the ball well but on almost every short yardage play we passed and missed.
Why did we throw to Marshall, a WR who has not being playing well, 12-14 times?
Because he was being a "monster" Diva and demanded it!
did anybody see marshall at the end of game?
he was laughing near the end of game,that right there shows me he does not care about winning trade him now.

mediocrity sucks
Yea. Marshall just put up 100 yards on one of the best CB's to ever play the game, in his prime. Definately the reason we lost imo. Not the defense collapsing. Not Matt Moore being apparently racist against progressions and just generally blowing.

Another one who apparently didn't watch the game. Who was covering Brandon Marshall when he caught the long pass, that he stumbled out of bounds like a drunken fool? It wasn't Revis, it was Cromartie. So tell me how many yards he got against Revis now? Oh, and Ted Ginn burned Revis for several td's, so i guess he is better than Marshall.
Marshall is 6'5" 230# Revis is 5'11" 195# And Revis threw him off his route for his pick 6. The ref's made several bad/missed calls (like the block in the back on Jones) for # 10's TD. Say what you want but Marshall has the chance to make a difference in the game and fails. He had 3-4 opportunity's to score, and Revis makes 2 plays, Cromartie makes a play, and Marshall runs out of bounds. OK, by default he is the #1 receiver on not just this team but many, Yet he fails to be THE difference. We spent 2-2nd round choices on this guy for more than 3 first downs a game. He makes 1 TD early and it's a different game. When we settle for 2 FG's early the Jests knew they had us... we had nothing for them. Defend him if you want, but those that do are just fools. If the Defense did not have to play 3/4's of every game behind by 10 they might make a stop, like they did the first 4 drives. I should have been 14-0 Phish before the Jests ever got a first down.

Okay what did the other Wr's do last night. Marshall dropped some balls but we got nothing out of the other Wr's. Marshall's drops can be corrected. The play calling sucks as usual. Matt Moore missed open wr's. That play were people said Marshall should of jumped. He was running open for about 10yds before the pass was thrown. Marshall didn't lose the game for us

Also , Moore has to put that ball up in teh air on the goaline

The Oracle
We run the ball well
The Jets can't stop the run.
We lost our starting QB
So our "game plan" is to throw to Brandon Marshall 40% of the time and on every big down.
We threw to the ball to Marshall in the endzone because because it was a personal thing for B Marshall.
We forced it over and over until Marshall tripped over his own feet and ALLOWED A 100 YARD INTERCEPTION FOR A TOUCHDOWN. B Marshall helped in scoring one touchdown, a touchdown for the jets.
What was the score of the game when that happened? It was 3-0 with us about to score again. Now you tell me when you think the game was lost for us.
The Jets were shooting themselves in the foot all night, we charged them up and got them excited.
Here is our offensive gameplan.
We stop the Jets and make them go 3 and out.
at 12.01 in the 1st Qtr.
3-1-NYJ 41 (12:01) 75-N.Garner reported in as eligible. 8-M.Moore pass incomplete short left to 10-E.Gates. (3rd and 1 and we "attempt" a pass to Gates being covered by Revis?)
We stop the Jets again, 3 and out.
We drive to the Jet's 10 yard line.
- 1-10-NYJ 10 (8:24) 33-D.Thomas left guard to NYJ 5 for 5 yards (97-C.Pace). (good, keep running)
- 2-5-NYJ 5 (7:43) 8-M.Moore pass incomplete short left to 80-A.Fasano [55-J.Westerman](WTF?).
- 3-5-NYJ 5 (7:36) 8-M.Moore pass incomplete short left to 19-B.Marshall (24-D.Revis) (OMG WTF?).
- 4-5-NYJ 5 (7:33) 5-D.Carpenter 23 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-92-J.Denney, Holder-2-B.Fields.
BUT, OMG, the Jets muff a kick off return, we are going to really put it on them!
- 5-D.Carpenter kicks 58 yards from MIA 35 to NYJ 7. 50-G.McIntyre MUFFS catch, RECOVERED by MIA-53-A.Spitler at NYJ 18. 53-A.Spitler to NYJ 18 for no gain (50-G.McIntyre).
- 1-10-NYJ 18 (7:23) 75-N.Garner reported in as eligible. 33-D.Thomas up the middle to NYJ 15 for 3 yards (36-J.Leonhard).
- 2-7-NYJ 15 (6:52) 33-D.Thomas up the middle to NYJ 15 for no gain (52-D.Harris).
- 3-7-NYJ 15 (6:11) 8-M.Moore pass short left intended for 19-B.Marshall INTERCEPTED by 24-D.Revis at NYJ 0. 24-D.Revis for 100 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
- 2nd Quarter
- Miami Dolphins continues ...
- 1-4-NYJ 4 (15:00) 33-D.Thomas left tackle to NYJ 1 for 3 yards (94-M.Dixon).
- 2-1-NYJ 1 (14:16) 75-N.Garner reported in as eligible. 33-D.Thomas left tackle to NYJ 3 for -2 yards (93-K.Ellis; 95-M.Tevaseu).
- 0-0- Timeout #2 by MIA at 13:38.
- 3-3-NYJ 3 (13:38) 8-M.Moore pass incomplete short left to 19-B.Marshall.
- 4-3-NYJ 3 (13:38) 5-D.Carpenter 21 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-92-J.Denney, Holder-2-B.Fields.
- Another 3rd and 3 and we "attempt" a pass.
Matt Moore was told to and forced 12 passes to Brandon Marshall and only one touchdown was scored, by D Revis.
Three times in a row on 3rd and Goal we "attempted" to throw to Brandon Marhsall. All of them failed and the defense scored a TD on one of them.

n the 1st half, we get within the Jets 7 yard line 3 times.
All three times we throw to B Marshall (BECAUSE OF THE COMMENTS HE MADE TO THE WORLD).
So 3 scoring chances and we end up with -1 point.
Because we had to throw the ball to B Marshall.
