Not every posession, but when the D or STs gives you the ball on the opponents 27 yard line, I expect a QB to take advantage of that, not turn the ball over. It should have been a larger lead than 17-7. When the Raiders tied it, I expect a QB to put some point on the board after the D holds them to a 3 and out, not turn the ball over on downs in long FG range. You can't ignore all the bad things Sanchez did and just focus on 1 drive the D allowed. I didn't say this game was all on Sanchez, but iyou can't place more blame on the D and STs when they did so much to keep the Jets in it.

The O never would have gotten it to within 6 without the D and STs putting the O in great spots. 3 and outs will kill a D and the Jets O had 6 of them in that game.Awesome but the D allowed 30 pts and when the O got it w/in 6 the D allowed a long drive to end it.
No, but it doesn't take away the fact that it never happens if Sanchez doesn't make a dumb decision. That is all on Sanchez.It was a bad TO bt that measn the D should allw NE to go 80 yds in a minute?
So? That doesn't erase the D taking 3 points off the board. That doesn't excuse Sanchez for giving them 7 points. That doesn't excuse Sanchez for only leading the O to 3 points once the game was tied. It doesn't excuse Sanchez for going 3 and out with 7 minutes left in the game. (on the Denver 47 no less) Again, you are ignoring all bad plays that Sanchez had that cost them the game and only focusing on 1 drive the D allowed. Give me a break! This one is all on Sanchez.they allowed a QB who can't throw to go 95 yds in the final minutes.
I don't blame Sanchez alone for this loss.it wasn't sanchez's fumble, nothing he could do about that and the INT later wasn't his fault as it went off Holmes hands.
I'm just going to copy and paste my last reply to this one.99 yds on 3rd and 10 was a game changer and season changer. The Giants were pretty much a dead team to that point, it changed everything.
That was a big play for the Giants, but there was a lot of football left to play with the score only 10-7. What did the O do when the D held the Giants on their next 3 drives? Sanchez and the O had four chances to tie or take the lead and did nothing. Down 13 and on the Giants 1, he turned it over with a fumble. The D gets the ball back with an interception and gives the O the ball on the Giants 11, which led to a score and cut the lead to 6. The Jets D holds again and gives the ball back to the Jets O only down 6 and they go 3 and out. The D holds again only down 6 with a little over 2 minutes and Sanchez has a saftey. The game was over at that point. Sanchez deserves more blame in this loss than the D and STs.
Again, this one is not all on Sanchez, but you can not make the case that the D and STs is more responsible for this loss.
Again, you can focus on one drive, but that one drive would have been meaningless if not for Sanchez poor play the entire game. That one is on Sanchez alone.Matt Moore leads a 20+ play drive taking up nearly 13 mins- MATT MOORE. and you didn't even have Bush for that game. That's on the D.
I think it is clear to anyone who watched those games, that is not the case.Nowhere did I say mark didn't deserve blame but the D deserved more.
