This is not true. The Pats don't win any of those championships without a great defense. They were #1 in 2003 and #2 in 2004 and that's why the Pats have a dynasty now. 2001 was just a very flukey year in which the NFL's hatred of Al Davis and the Raiders crystallized in the snow in January. I'd never heard of the tuck rule before it suddenly got called in a divisional playoff game in Foxboro. I was traveling at the time and watching the game in a sports bar in the hotel lobby and when I saw the play my first thought was game over. Then as they were over-turning the fumble (called on the field) I realized that it was a home team getting a call over the whipping boy of the NFL establishment at the worst possible time. If that game is in Oakland, no tuck rule. If it's the Steelers on the other side of the field, no tuck rule. It was the Raiders in Foxboro and so New England advanced.
Check those games again. Sanchez was not the sole reason for the struggles prior to the 4th quarter in all of those games. If it is "Super Bowl or bust" for you and that is the world you live in, then I agree with you- Sanchez is a piece of shit and should have been tarred and feathered after each of the last two AFC Championship Games. Read my post again. Dilfer was mentioned because his team won the Super Bowl and was pretty much carried by a historically great defense. I believe Sanchez has not benfited from a great offense or defense. To throw cold water on his accomplishments is a troll activity.
Don't feed tommytom. He's stuck on this. He obviously hates Mark Sanchez and he's not going to get off of this even if the Jets win a Super Bowl. Then it'll be "the Jets won despite Mark Sanchez."
I can see he has massive troubles with reading comprehension. He actually thinks I like Mark Sanchez. I also saw that there is a tommytom thread in the TT forum. I will now go open it and laugh at its contents.
In 2009, the Jets had the number 1 ranked defense in the NFL. Last year, the Jets defense was ranked 3rd in the NFL. What does Sanchez need, the '86 Bears defense?
You are really struggling with reading comprehension just like fellow troll tommytom. The 2009 Jets defense was nowhere near as good as the 2000 Ravens defense.
In 2009 the Jets lost a starting CB in the AFC Championship against Peyton Manning and they lost the hot runningback in the same game. The Jets win that game if they didn't get bit by the injury bug during it. In 2010 the #3 ranked defense had issues against the run late in the season and got run over by the Steelers in the AFC Championship game. They did just fine against pass oriented attacks in the two rounds before the AFC Championship but they could not stop a dedicated ground game in the cold at the end. Neither loss was on Sanchez, the circumstances just made winning those games really hard.
Yeah, say what you want about Sanchez, but no one can ever say that we failed to get to a Super Bowl because of him in 09 and 10.
:rofl: Patsfanstx back to troll the jet sites. Hey use the one where chad Pennington is a horrible QB because he can't beat a team with a top10 defense all by himself. :rofl:
Every time you get the desire to respond to a tommytom or cattcountry post just go log in on a Bill's board and troll there instead.
I never said they were. So what are you saying, even with the number 1 ranked defense in the NFL, that is not enough for a QB to win with?
I neva said dat. Carefully read what I wrote and implied. If you are unwilling or incapable of doing so, then this conversation will end. By the way, why have you decided to troll here today? Were you recently banned (again) by JetsNation?
phillip rivers has 8 TDs in 7 postseason games, thats less than 1.5 per game tom brady has 30 TDs in 19 postseason games, about 1.57 per game ... i guess bradys "credit" should be reduced, as well
The great D that blew a 14 pt 4th qtr lead to SL or was it the great D that allowed 19 4th qtr pts to almost blow the Carolina SB? The pats D's of that era are vastly overrated. Their D came up small in big spots far too often.
