10:28PM EST November 22. 2012 - Let's guess the potential New York Post headlines after the New York Jets went down 35-0 to the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving night at MetLife Stadium. All include multiple exclamation points.
1. Turkeys!!
2. Blitzgiving Day Parade!!
3. Scalped!!!
4. Floundering on 34th Street!!
(Sort of love that last one.)
The prefect summation of the night was Mark Sanchez fumbling after he ran directly into the rear end of guard Brandon Moore and fumbled, leading to a Pats touchdown. I'll repeat: Mark Sanchez ran directly into the read end of his teammate. Sanchez goes down like Moore's rear was a Mike Tyson uppercut.
Can you imagine how little Rex Ryan thinks of Tim Tebow that he wouldn't insert him into a 35-0 game? Does Tebow spike himself in practice? Step on Rex Ryan's feet? Maybe he ate all the pregame turkey and gravy that Rex was saving? He had to do something to tick him off. How else can a rational man like Rex Ryan refuse to make a change at quarterback after, and I all-caps, MARK SANCHEZ RAN INTO THE BUTT OF HIS LINEMAN, KNOCKED HIMSELF OUT AND FUMBLED IT FOR AN OPPONENT'S TOUCHDOWN! JaMarcus Russell would have been offended by how awful that was. Browning Nagle is all -- "seriously, I was 4-10 in my career, haven't played since 1994, am 44 years old and could do better than that." Rich Kotite is saying, "I'll coach this team for 1/10th of Rex's salary for 100 percent of the results." Fireman Ed probably gave up after the first "J."
The 2012 New York Jets, ladies and gentleman. Enjoy.
