As for the Saints/Jets' game... Sanchez made some rookie mistakes. It's to be expected out of a rookie as great as he may be. He has some serious ball handling issues that need to be worked out. He has shown this in more than one game so far.

With that said our defense held a record breaking scoring team to 10 points. One stop being first and goal on the 2 yard line and the Saints still couldn't get in.

Say what you want about the Jets', poo poo their victories, doesn't matter because we are a contender.

Sanchez will only get better. He will only become more of a threat. He will stop making rookie mistakes as the season progresses. Our defense will only become faster and better. Pace will be back next week or the week after and our defense will be that much more of a threat.

As for the no sack or interceptions, BFD. Brees couldn't get anything going with our rush. Rieves is a shutdown corner and has shown that every game he has played. Our defense has only allowed 1, I'll say that again 1!!!!, touchdown in 4 games. Think about that for a second.

I've got a 10pk that says the Jets will be the AFC East division champs. If you don't think so then call me on it.

Never said the Jets weren't a contender. Never said they didn't have a good defense and that they didn't have a good game. Nevery poo-poo'ed their victories. They way I see it, the Jets beat the Patriots and that wasn't easy.

However here is something you should consider. Thanks to the Saint's defense, the Saints jumped out to a 17 pt lead in the second quarter. That means the Saints were 17 points in front of the Jets and it changes how the offensive coordinator and the head coach calls the game. Do you really think that the Saints would have gone for it on 4th down that many times if they weren't up by 17 points? Coaches call different plays when they are playing with a good lead as opposed to if they are in a close game or trailing. If they game would have been closer I think the Saints would have taken the field goals and wouldn't have left the points on the field.

Hey! Believe it or not I like the Jets. I followed the Jets when I was stationed on Governors Island for 3 years and back then they weren't nearly as good as they are this year.
