Without the many mistakes on O, that probably doesn't happen though. I don't solely blame Sanchez and the O for this loss, but they are just as responsible for the loss as the D.
When NE was on the Jets 10 right before the half, the D picked off Brady. That took at least 3 points off the board and most likely 7. Didn't you debate with me that the Branch fumble was a bad call? I don't agree, but according to you, there was a forced fumble by the D on NE's first drive after the half that got taken away by a bad call.

Regardless, now down 17-7 (the O had been doing nothing, going 3 and out 3 times) the STs return the kick to the NE 20. I doubt the Jets O scores without that great FP. That makes it a 17-14 game. The D holds NE to a 3 and out on the very next drive, and what does Sanchez and the O do? They go 3 and out. The D holds again, and the O goes 3 and out again. The O never scored when it was a 1 possession game despite multiple opportunists . It was that way the entire game. The only time the O scored was when it was a double digit lead for NE. When the D held NE when it was a 1 score game, the O goes 3 and out.
Just like it is all on a coach who puts his team in a bad situation. Without the dumb time out, it never happens.
The D gave the O 10 opportunities prior to that drive and the O couldn't do anything. The O had the ball on the Denver 47 with a 3 point lead with 7 minutes left in the game. The O went 3 and out and gave it back to Denver! The O could only score 13 points the whole game while giving 7 points to the other team. That is only a 6 point lead. Because of the Jets O, all Den had to do was score 1 TD for the win. That's pathetic! You want to blame the D because they didn't hold Denver's O to 3 points? That is what it would have taken for the Jets to win because of Sanchez throwing a pick 6 and only leading the O to 13 points.
Sorry Junc! This one is totally on Sanchez.
It changed the season because the O couldn't do anything in a 3 point game. They had 4 opportunities to tie or take the lead in a 3 point game, and did nothing. Down 13 and on the Giants 1 yardline, Sanchez fumbles. The D gives the O the ball right back on the Giants 11 with an Int,a and that leads to a score to make it a 6 point game. The D holds again and all the Jets need is a TD for the win. Sanchez goes 3 and out. The D holds again to give Sanchez 1 more opportunity for a game winning drive and he gives up a safety. The D gave Sanchez 6 opportunities to take the lead, and he failed all 6 times.
You can look at 1 play and blame the D, but I see 6 drives and two huge mistakes by Sanchez that deserves more blame.
Being a D first team is no excuse for mistakes by the QB that cost his team. You are only focusing on 1 drive and ignoring the mistakes Sanchez made.
Up 10-3 the D gives Sanchez the ball near midfield and Sanchez throws a pick which leads to a Miami FG
After Miami has the long drive and goes up 3, Sanchez throws another pick and give Miami the ball on the Jets 25. The D held Miami to just a FG.
Down Just 6 points on the Miami 10, Sanchez throws another pick which gets returned to the Jets 36.
I saw all those games with the exeption of the Raider game. Sanchez alone cost the Jets in the Mia, Den and Bal game. The D and STs had issues in other games, but they were not the sole reason the Jets lost. Heck, they even won the Cowboy game on their own. Even if you didn't watch the games, you can read my post which state the facts, and it is clear who the blame should fall on.
