Initial Thoughts on the Jets Loss to 49ers

Posted on by

So ye that sucked. The Jets got rocked by the 49ers today by the score of 34-0. There is so much to say that I will not be able to fit it into this whole article, but lets start somewhere.

1. Time for a QB Change

Mark Sanchez looked as bad as I have seen him since coming to the Jets today. At times he was holding the ball for too long, or at other times he was overthrowing his receivers. Worst of all I thought he had no chemistry with any of his receivers. That is unacceptable in this league. The Jets should have at least been able to score a TD with all the chances they had in the first half. Instead, Rex Ryan would not want to put in Tebow because he is scared of a QB controversy. Unacceptable.

2. Jets Defense Played Average At Best

The linebackers on the Jets are very old. Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace on the outside seem like they have no chance against the opposing blockers. In the middle David Harris and Bart Scott seem like they cannot plug the hole to block the running lanes. Also I thought that Kyle Wilson played terrible today. Although no one that was on him scored a TD, he got beat at least 4 times today and luckily Alex Smith had no touch on his long ball today.

3. Where is the urgency?

Out of all things today i was more dissapointed by the fact that the Jets showed no urgency to prove the world wrong. Everyone picked the 49ers to win because they thought that the Revis-less Jets would not be able to do it. Well they were all correct, but I was expecting Rex to motivate them by bringing up all the haters and to play a little above their heads today. I was totally wrong and at times it seemed like they did not care to be on the field at all. It might be time to start over all together. There will be more to this later this week.
