QB Shuffle: Week 4 Notes (continued...)

HOMER REPORT

The New Orleans game was a missed opportunity for the Jets. With their defense playing great, Sanchez’ critical mistakes literally cost them the game. If only Sanchez submitted a C+ effort instead of a F, the Jets would have probably won that game.

I’m hoping Sanchez has a short memory.

The next four games for the Jets are very winnable (@Miami, vs. Buffalo, @Oakland, vs. Miami). I’m expecting the Jets to go at least 3-1 during that stretch, giving them a 6-2 record going into their bye. If the Jets are for real, they should win all four.

Confidence Scale (out of 10): 8.0- A tad rattled, but hopefully playing Chad Henne (who took 6 sacks in his debut - a home blow-out win over Buffalo), should be a recipe for success for the Jets.
