and things should be interesting this offseason.
i'm just going to put it like this, i've defended the guy, i want him to be a decent qb, and i want to see him succeed but yesterday and other games this year speak for themself. it's inexcusable, the dumb horrible timed turnovers and missed passes.
my take is that this better be the wake up call and writing on the wall for mark sanchez to get it together or else.
i'm not questioning his work ethic as i feel he's willing to put the effort in to improve but if he doesn't have what it takes then he just doesn't have what it takes and it's no sugarcoating that.
the more then likely situation is the jets bring in a decent backup, sanchez goes into the season next year as the starter and if he screws up he's benched but a decent backup is needed.
that said i could easily see baltimore beating the bengals considering that game is either going to make them a 2 seed with a bye or a wild card road team.
the raiders are up and down and them losing to san diego wouldn't necessarily suprise me neither as would the tebows losing at home to kc.
the texans are locked into the 3 seed but i think they play this game sunday to win as they don't want to go into their first playoffs on a 3 game losing streak and i really don't think the titans are a good team. they win the games their supposed to win at home and are a crappy road team, losses to the colts and jags are proof of that.
that said i could see all those teams losing giving the jets a shot to get in and they go ahead and lose to the dolphins on sunday

If the
New York Jets and
Mark Sanchez end up parting ways sometime in the near future, people might point toward his
ill-advised retreat into his own end zone Saturday -- and another
untimely fourth-quarter giveaway -- as the beginning of the end of his tenure as the Jets' quarterbackWith his team desperately needing a victory in order to stay alive in the AFC wild-card chase, Sanchez laid an egg in a
29-14 loss loss to the
New York Giants. The third-year pro completed 30 of 59 passes for 258 yards with one touchdown to two interceptions. He also took five sacks -- one of which resulted in a safety with the Jets trailing by six in the fourth-quarter.
Sanchez's poor play, as well as his overall up-and-down performance this season, now has the Jets seriously considering whether or not they have their franchise quarterback on their roster.A league source told
ProFootballTalk.com on Sunday that the Jets are beginning to realize that Sanchez, whom the team drafted with its first-round pick in 2009, might not be their guy.Jets coach Rex Ryan has been very outspoken in his support for his beleaguered quarterback this season, but PFT reported that the team would not publicly acknowledge even a hint of a change in tune in regard to Sanchez.
Sanchez has two years remaining on his his rookie contract after this season -- he will earn a base salary of $8.5 million next year, according to PFT.
While the Jets have not been officially eliminated from the postseason, they will need a win
against the Dolphins next week and
a lot of help to earn a wild-card spot.
