Jets Nation would had to have been blind not to see Kerry Rhodes running a yard behind Marcedes Lewis on the 33-yard completion that essentially sealed a fate the Jets had been tempting since the opening kickoff. “There should have been somebody over the top,” said the free safety, throwing that somebody under the bus, from where strong safety Jim Leonhard emerged with tire marks and an apology. “Knowing we had a timeout, in hindsight we probably should have burned it. It was too late to try to get it changed. You saw what happened.” After David Garrard, who got the ball back with 4:56 to play trailing by one, had twice moved the sticks on third-down conversions to Zach Miller and Mike Thomas (the second on a third-and-9), the Jacksonville quarterback nailed the slant to Lewis that put the ball on the Jets’ 14, setting up Josh Scobee’s chip shot field goal as the game expired. New York Jets Sports Memorabilia They were eager to prove that what occurred six days earlier was an aberration, that it was just a slight hiccup. Never happened, though, and now the Jets are the team that’s reeling after a 16-13 overtime loss. The Jets have dropped three straight since their season-opening three-game winning streak. In a game in which the Jets had several chances to put Buffalo away, they made too many miscues and not enough plays, failing to step on the Bills’ throats despite the countless opportunities. Ryan Lindell banged a 47-yard field goal through with 2:44 left in overtime – making amends for a 46-yard miss at the end of regulation – to put the finishing touches on a stinging loss that left the Jets searching for answers. “It’s unfortunate,” linebacker Bart Scott said. “We knew that team was going to come out and play hard. We knew they were a competitive group. We let one get away, but we have to go back and reanalyze ourselves. We’ll find out a lot about ourselves. There will be a lot of things said, and deservedly so. We deserve every negative thing that’s being said about us.” There’s going to be a lot of negative things said about the Jets’ golden rookie quarterback, who had a stinker of a game. Mark Sanchez was a turnover machine, whipping ill-advised passes around and never getting into any sustained rhythm. He threw five interceptions and finished with a quarterback rating of 8.3, completing 10 of 29 attempts for 119 yards. New York Jets Mens Apparel
Several key Jets veterans said yesterday that, despite a defensive meltdown in Monday night’s loss to the Dolphins, panic has not set in. Nose tackle Kris Jenkins said, “I don’t think there’s a depressed state here. I don’t think people are unraveling where they’re giving up hope and throwing in the towel.” Scott agreed with coach Rex Ryan, who called Sunday a “must win,” that there is an urgency to this week. “Damn straight,” Scott said. “We just had an opportunity to show the world what we were — the one time we had this year to show the world what type of team we are — and now they believe we’re something else. “I wish we could play today. I can’t wait to hit somebody. I can’t wait to step out there and see somebody in another jersey, so I can take all this pain and all this embarrassment that I’m feeling and inflict it on somebody else.” New York Jets Sports Memorabilia |
