I was ready for some football this past Monday Night, the Jets Defense was ready for some football, but Mark Sanchez and the NY Jets offense was anything but ready for some football which was evident in a very telling season opening loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
It was a tough game to watch to be honest and I have watched years of terrible Jets football. Sanchez looked awfully bad at times and spent more time checking down to find the 4th receiver than he did drawing faces on his coaches family portraits, I am so glad I watched Hard Knocks. I get that Sanchez has to play safe because of his interceptitis but we need him to sling that ball further than 15 yards to have any kind of chance.
After all the issues with Reevis, the Hard Knocks hype, and watching the preseason games, is anyone surprised that the Jets got slapped on Monday? The Ravens did not throw to Reevis but to our Rookie, and considering the Raven running game was slow to develop, it was the only option the Ravens had and no one saw it coming, including did Rex Ryan.
Now the Jets face the New England Patriots in a Week 2 showdown, am I scared, yes! Welker is looking mighty good week 1 and Moss is lurking, plus we just lost Jenkins for the year. I hope Cromartie and the rook are up to it and I hope Sanchez is using his marker to go over this week’s play list.
