NFL – The New York Jets are falling off the radar

This was the New York Jets chance to make-up for the humiliating 45-3 lost against the Division leaders, heck the League, the New England Patriots. Let’s be clear on one point. So this seemed like a really great chance to redeem themselves. The Dolphins where playing at the Meadowlands and quite frankly, at 7-5 for the season, the Dolphins have been nothing but an under-par team so far this season. So perhaps that’s exactly why losing to the Miami Dolphins 10-6 at home was such an utter disappointment to the New York Jets.

Mark Sanchez could be a brilliant young quarterback at times, capable of great things. Other times, he could simply have one of those off-days we all experience in our daily lives, but his mistakes tend to have much larger repercussions. Take the Jets-Dolphins matchup for an example.

Sure, the Jets were embarrassed on the road against the Patriots, but this one hurt even more. The Jets failed to defeat the a Dolphins squad that gained 131 total yards, only completed 30 passing yards and committed 3 turnovers.

Chad Hane, the Dolphins quarterback was sincerely awful. He completed 5 of 18 for 55 yards and 1 touchdown. On the other hand, the Jets quarterback, Mark Sanchez managed to play even worse, completing 17 of 44 passes for 216 yards, no touchdown passes and one interceptions. His passer rating hit a 45.3% in what has been a lopsided season for the 24-year-old quarterback.

And as if that was not enough embarrassment for the Jets, the team’s strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi viciously tripped Miami CB Nolan Carroll as he slightly ran out of bounds in apunt coverage. Yes, it was cough on National Television. If the Jets are not having a great moment, Alosi is certainly not helping, with such an unprofessional on-court tantric. He is an utter embarrassment to the team.
