What about when the STs put Sanchez on the Raiders 24 with the game tied at 7. He threw a pick, costing the team at least 3 points. What did Sanchez do after the Raiders tied the game at 17 in the 3rd quarter? The D held the Raiders to a 3 and out and gave the ball to him near midfield. Sanchez went 3 and out. The D held again, and Sanchez couldn't convert a 3rd and 2 and then a 4th and 2 and gave the ball up on downs in long FG range. After that is when the Raiders took the 24-17 lead. Yes, the fumble on the kick off return really hurt, but Sanchez had already done a lot of damage himself.
I wouldn't place all of the blame on Sanchez for this game, but he played a big part in the loss. The D and STs played a part as well, but I don't think it is fair to say that the D and STs were the main reason for this loss.
What about the D intercepting Brady in the RZ right before the half? What about the STs returning the kickoff to the Pats 20? It's nice that the O pulled within 6 with 7 minutes left in the game, but the D and STs played a big part in that happening. It is easy to point out the last drive when NE ate up a ton of clock, but what about the (6) 3 and outs the O had in the game? (3) 3 and outs from the 3rd quarter on. Again, I don't blame Sanchez alone for this loss, but you can't pin it on the D either.
NE never would have had the opportunity to go 80 yds if not for the bonehead timeout called by Sanchez right before the half. What about Sanchez throwing a pick only down 7 and on the NE 37 yard line? What about the pick 6 down 14 with 7 minutes left in the game? Again, I don't think it is fair to put all the blame on Sanchez for this one, but it is also not fair to put it all on the D either.
The D took at least 3 points off the board when they stopped Den on 4th and 1 on the Jets 21 yardline on the first drive of the game. Sanchez gave the Broncos 7 points which tied the game at 10. The D held Denver from that point on and all Sanchez could do is lead the O to 3 points. Up 3 with 7 minutes in the game, the D and STs give him the ball on the Denver 47, and does the O close out the game? No, they go 3 and out and give the ball back to Den.
This game is completely on Sanchez.
They all stunk, but the O started it off with a fumble which resulted in a TD, and then when the STs gave the Jets O the ball on the Philly 14 with a chance to get right back in it, the Jets throw a pick. At 14-0 the Jets go 3 and out and give the ball back to Philly. At 21-0 the Jets fumble on their own 17 leading to another score for Philly. You can't put all the blame the D and STs for this one either.
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.
Up 10-3 the D gives Sanchez the ball near midfield and Sanchez throws a pick which leads to a Miami FG. Start of the 3rd, the D holds and Sanchez and the O does nothing with a 10-6 lead. 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. The game is over at that point.
This one is on Sanchez as well.
Sanchez single handedly lost the Ravens game, Broncos game and Mia game. He played a big part in the loss to the Giants as well. The D and STs single handedly won the Dallas game, and played a huge role in the wins over Mia, SD, and Jax. The Jets missed out on the playoffs because of Sanchez, not because of the D and STs.
