Junc, I don't care when the Jets collapsed last year a good QB finds a way to outscore an offense missing their best RB (who was tearing it up) their best OL, best TE and have an interim HC. Not to mention a 5-10 record. I think you are one of the very few people on the planet who truly believed in Mark Sanchez, time will tell.
The team was done after the previous 2 losses. Mark Sanchez has found ways to win in NE and Indy on the road in the playoffs, facing Miami in week 17 wasn't intimidating to him- the team just stunk including him.
