Jets End the Collapse, But is it Too Late?
The Jets FINALLY snapped their collapse and revived playoff hopes with a win against the Panthers.
Mark Sanchez had a solid performance throwing 13 -17 for 154 yards and was able to manage the game. Their was a scary moment though when Mark Sanchez was holding his knee after an eight yard scramble. After a couple plays he came back in with a brace and the injury did not appear to be serious.
It was nice to see Sanchez bounce back though, especially after a dreadful game against the Pats last week.
The defense was lights out today with four interceptions, including a pick six from Darrelle Revis and two interceptions from Kerry Rhodes coming off the bench.They also held the Panthers third ranked run offense to only 65 yards.
Although Kerry Rhodes did have a good performance, current starter Eric Smith had a great performance as well getting eight tackle and a pass deflection. I personally think Smith should get the start next week as he was great at stopping the run and in coverage. Also, one of Rhodes’ interceptions was a right place at the right time pick at the end of the game. Though, it will be interesting to see who gets the start Thursday against the Bills.
Darrelle Revis also deserves alot of credit shutting down pro bowler, Steve Smith, for only 1 reception for 5 yards.
But the real reason the Jets won is because they all played in sync. In all of the Jets losses one person or team blows it for the Jets and they lose. But in this game, they all played in sync and they finally snapped their three game losing streak.
So do the Jets have a chance for the playoffs?
Yes, but a very very tiny chance.
In order for the Jets to have atleast a chance to make the playoffs they will have to go 4-1 or 5-0. That might not seem that bad at first glance but the Jets have to play the Bengals, Falcons and the Colts in the last three games of the season.
With a rookie quarterback, especially how inconsistent Sanchez has been, the Jets most likely will not be able to go atleast 4-1. Unfortunately, the one thing the Jets are consistent at is being inconsistent.
Nonetheless today was a good day for Jet fans and now the Jets are only one game back for a wild card spot.
Now lets see if the Jets can get some revenge in Buffalo.
So what do you think? Do the Jets have a chance? Do you think they can pull it together and turn their season around?
Let me know down below!

I don’t think so. The Jets have had trouble all over these past several weeks and You’ve got like 3 or 4 teams vying for the wild card along with them.
Try to go for 8-8/9-7 and develop from there. With a year under his belt, Sanchez should do fine after this.
jets jets jets the bills will lose 54-4 to the jets
Thanks for giving props to Revis. He had his best game of the season Sunday. Jets are back in it…it’s not too late, technically. They’re only a game out. Problem is, they’re still not a great team, and their young QB is struggling. So, this return to contention probably won’t last long.
