Sun, October 18, 2009 - 5:56pm ET"God put Clemens in he can be our hope right now. Sanchez cant even bounce back from 1 loss let alone 2 losses and now we have the opprtunity for our third loss if we dont make him ride the pine. Come on coach we want to win and Sanchez is not even here today. "
Brian Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 6:11pm ET"Has Woodhead seen the field today?"
Mike in NJ Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:13pm ET"Well guys.... experiment over... Sanchez has cost ust 2 games... I think we need to put Clemens in if we have any hope for the season.. This is supposed to be the soft part of our schedule and we're now 0-2.... thoughts?"
Calven Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:14pm ET"NO!!!!!!! THERE GOES THE PLAYOFF HOPES IF WE CANT BEAT THE DANG BILLS! And for all you stupid overcrazed Woodhead lovers, did he do anything?? Did he? No, he didn't. This guy is overhyped and is seriously incapable of doing much of anything at the first string, NFL level."
bill Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:15pm ET"Time to sit sanchez...Hes not ready to play at this level...He looks scared"
jayjet Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:23pm ET"overrated defense!!!!! get rid of that offensive coordinator!!!!!"
Danny Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:23pm ET"After over 40 years of watching this team, they are STILL the same old Jets. I thought Ryan would have made a difference, but, appanently, he's part of the problem too. Sanchez wa having a horrific day, why not sit the kid, and, let Clemens have a shot? Plus, our supposedly GREAT defense can't even pressure a BACK UP qb? Absolutely pathetic."
Anonymous Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:26pm ET"Good bye Shotty. We can't even mount a sustainable drive. No wonder we are not taken seriously. Just disgusted ... again"
Harv Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:27pm ET"WE traded 2 good players and draft picks for B.E. for what??!! He's gone after this season and where not making the superbowl this year. Makes me sick!!"
Ed in Tucson Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:52pm ET"I'm ready for a QB controversy. Can it get any worse? Like I told my son before OT started, I would've run the seminole in OT, with TJ, LW & SG in there pounding & grounding. It was obvious that MS is a fair weather QB. Clemens, being from Wa can handle the elements better; he should've taken over at QB. What's with all the penalties? Injuries really hurt us. Any chance Ainge gets a start?"

Sun, October 18, 2009 - 8:55pm ET"Of all the disappointments over the past few years, this one hurts the most. Really thought we had a legit chance to go all the way. A win over the Raiders will mean nothing.. "
nysackexchange Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 9:15pm ET"From 3-0 to 3-3 in eight easy interceptions. Welcome to the NFL Sanchez, and welcome to yet another year of the same old Jets for all the fans. I haven't been this embarrassed to be a Jets fan in years. Thanks for that Rex."
maryland jetfan Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 9:19pm ET"OVER 30 YEARS AS A JET FAN AND I WONDER,WILL WE EVER GET IT TOGETHER? WHAT A HORRIBLE PERFORMANCE.AT LEAST OUR RUNNING GAME WAS GOOD.WHERE IS THE DEFENSE?M.S. FORGET ABOUT THIS GAME AND PLAY WELL AT OAK NEXT WEEK.IT IS GUT CHECK TIME.LETS GO GREEN!!!!!"
Anonymous Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 9:25pm ET"wow rex just stop talkin an just learn how to run this team and to the players stop cryin so much and go out and play "
Harv Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 9:29pm ET"We gave up 2GOOD players AND draft picks for B.E.(i'm not knocking him) and i know it's been said, he's a FA after this season. We gave up some of are future for ONE year!!!???. Hope we can turn this around. Shotty has to trust his other WR "
Shawn Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 9:56pm ET"Totally disgusted I know Sanchez is a rookie but the team cannot maintain a drive. Keller played like dirt. The offensive side of the ball seems to lack urgency and execution."
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 10:18pm ET"I guess we've almost never rebuilt properly because we have some fans who think that happens overnight. ("Really thought we had a legit chance to go all the way" -- ?!?!) So the first three games we look pretty good, then they get some film on us and we look pretty bad. And this is a surprise because...? I guess some of you would've given up on E. Manning, too, an alleged "bust" about 3 yrs in. "
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 10:29pm ET"What disgusts ME is fans who, like scared children, see total disaster when things don't go their way. 6 games in MS is "a failed experiment," Rex is a bad coach, Woodhead's a fraud before he's played a down -- what we've got, Ed, is fair-weather FANS! BE says he loves that "The fans are supporting me" and our answer is to give him two games! Keep it up and he WILL leave -- and I won't blame him!"
jack wnuk Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 11:18pm ET"Sanchez is a rookie its not like he's going to be better .All young kids talk a lot of smack. In life everything takes time. give him time to grow slow. "
Nique Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 11:22pm ET"You know who is going pretty unscathed through this whole thing Matt Cavanaugh-quarterback coach...now that's a free check! Mark Sanchez has been regressing since game three. He is not getting the proper coaching during the game or after. He has tunnel vision, and he only throws to one receiver whether its Cotchery or Edwards. And when he messes up he goes to the sideline and sulks."
Mike the Mechanic Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 11:34pm ET"Tom '64, right on. We've been through this too many times to know better. We have a young franchise QB who seems to motivate all around him, and motivation is infectious. We need to regroup and focus on our next game only. My only concern is Jenkins. The naysayers will come around as we turn it around."
Glenn Said:
Sun, October 18, 2009 - 11:35pm ET"What disgusts me, is that we keep giving away quality young players for single year talent. Didn't we just do this with Favre last year? I can certainly hang in through a rebuilding, but single year players can never be part of a rebuilding. I sort of expect MS to have some very bad games. No first year quarterback in the NFL is going to shine every game. Lets get back on track. GO JETS!"
B. Sommer Said:
Mon, October 19, 2009 - 12:48am ET"Very disappointing performance. Some of you though are bad mouthing the jets d. The jets offense turned the ball over 6 times, still only gave up 16 points.The D still isn't as good as the hype. Pass rush needs serious work. Plus they let their second string qb look better then our multi million dollar poster boy.Still giving up 16 points on 6 turnovers isn't bad.Sanchez and schotty lost the game."
Ed in Tucson Said:
Mon, October 19, 2009 - 12:55am ET"Yeah, I was going to start my comment with "I hate to sound like a fair weather fan,,," But not enough space to say everything. I'm not saying MS should be demoted. But, for the good of the team, he shoulda been benched 2day. It was obvious by the time OT started that he had his tail between his legs. That weather takes getting used to. That's why I live in AZ. KC should play in weather like that"
Row Said:
Mon, October 19, 2009 - 1:08am ET"Sanchez gift wrapped this game, and put a bow on top. Even though Brian Schottenheimer's game plan was AMAZING, it didn't matter b/c of Sanchez' play. I would have pulled him and had Kellen try to win the game. If Ryan starts goldon boy next week, he is a lunatic in my mind. Thank you Brian for running the ball right and having the PERFECT game plan for this game. TJ you're AWESOME!!! Go Jets!"
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Mon, October 19, 2009 - 3:14am ET"MIke the Mechanic and Glenn, thanks for the sanity, which I find in somewhat short supply on the site today. Same for Ed, though I see it a bit differently. Mangini in CLE and other coaches elsewhere have ruined QBs with game-to-game panic. EA not KC is clearly the guy who'd put any real pressure on MS and if about halfway through next year MS isn't on track that might happen. But 6 games in?!?!"
The Pan Said:
Mon, October 19, 2009 - 9:59am ET"The Jets play like a group of baby's, holding and fighting all game long. The NFL should fine both the Jets players for going after a player when his helmet is off! That isn't right! Winning isn't everything!!!"
azduck Said:
Mon, October 19, 2009 - 3:08pm ET"This is the biginning of the rest of the season, defenses have studied what Sanchez can do, they know his tendencies and are keying on his weaknesses. Ryan has taken a possible franchize QB and thrown him to the wolves. After the multi-interseption games he will hesitate and then the multi-sack games will begin. "
HYPE Said:
Mon, October 19, 2009 - 5:54pm ET"20 million guaranteed, GQ boy, NFL Latino.com, LA/NY connection (no team in LA) This aint about football...it's all about the show and I'm turning it off. A QB rating of 8!!! and King Rex says he's the best opportunity to win!? Criminy, he was mediocre in the first 3 games (Clemens and Ainge would have won those...and now this...Sanchez has no arm and is TOO emotionally immature"
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Tue, October 20, 2009 - 6:40am ET"Hype, I sure wish I had your crystal ball on MS. But let's look at it another way: Stafford's not even healthy enough to play and Freeman's not playing. MS was voted Rookie of the Week the first 3 games and I didn't see too many folks here dumping on him then. On Sunday Kerry Collins had the first minus yards passing in the NFL in decades, so I guess that means he was never any good either, right?"
TMac Said:
Tue, October 20, 2009 - 12:57pm ET"Hey ol' man (64 Geezer) Save your milk and cookies for Markie. You go from we're in the Super Bowl to we're rebuilding...no, we have a great defense, a great core of running backs, a line that give you 2 seconds to throw and a pampered QB in diapers."
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Tue, October 20, 2009 - 5:38pm ET"TMac, you talkin' to me? I just told irish jet that I'm 54, lift, play football, and oh yeah, my gf's one step below a supermodel. But you got the wrong guy 'cause I never said we were anywhere close to the SB. I think some folks facing that fact after getting too excited about 3-0 is part of what's going on here, and Ray agrees. Agree with you about the line but way too early to get crazy on MS."
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Tue, October 20, 2009 - 6:03pm ET"In short, TMac, old guys rules, like the bumper sticker says. That is if you feel old at my age or Rex's age, which I don't and I'm sure he doesn't. Which brings us back to my whole problem, which is folks going nuts with negativity as soon as things get tough. We're not quite at the point of folks saying Thurman Munson was a bust when he went 0-for-30 or so, but we're getting close. Go Jets!"
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Tue, October 20, 2009 - 6:09pm ET"And TMac, how is MS "pampered"? Pampering would be keeping him out, being afraid to play him, guarding him from the media and Rex hasn't done any of that. He's just thrown him right in and let him start learning under fire, which is what I'd do with a guy that I paid that kind of money and who left college early to play in the NFL. Let's find out what he can do -- but without expecting miracles."
TMac Said:
Wed, October 21, 2009 - 5:18pm ET"Pampered is not paying your dues...(USC QB's who bust.) Getting the big paycheck, not having to go up against Ainge in OTA's and having everyone make excuses for him (including you). You are not a leader when you screw up and have a different set of rules...ie. stay in and throw another pick media darling."
Jets Fan Since '64 Tom Said:
Wed, October 21, 2009 - 8:51pm ET"If the big paycheck means you're pampered, TMac, then so are most NFL players! I LOVE Ainge and opposed the MS pick initially but I'm not gonna say my take on 6 games is better than that of the entire Jets org. Palmer and Cassel are USC QBs and I'll take them but if you won't give a guy more than 6 games, you sure won't give him a few years! I say give MS '09 and argue about it in the off-season."
