Smooth w/ a sweet TD run

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Nightmare game for Cromartie. A bunch of penalties, and now a muffed KO.

 

[kaso]

The first non-touchback of the season for Janikowski ends up as Raiders ball!!!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Impressive feat by DMC against a good run defense.

 

[RCon]

That is a huge mistake there. Could have let that kickoff go out of the end zone, but he tries to field the line drive at the shoe tops, and kicks it all the way out to the 15 yard line. Here come the Raiders!

 

[billmatic]

Cromartie was probably shocked that the kick didn't end up in the stands and panicked.

 

[Darryl Talley]

I'm getting killed by DMC. Thank god they showed me mercy on that Bush 1-yd TD.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Bush vultures the TD from inside the one.

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

damn him!

[IvanKaramazov]

Cromartie is now officially on tilt -- running it out from the very back of the end zone. Made it to the 20, but still.

 

[Grady Wilson]

Sanchez is getting killed in the pocket in the 2nd half.

 

[bbuster]

Santonio?? Is he still in?

 

[njherdfan]

I will never understand Mark Sanchez. He just led an incredible drive with a couple perfect throws, to nicely balance how poorly he's played this half.

 

[ICON211]

Bresnehan better not #### this game up too.

 

[drfeelgood]

Santonio?? Is he still in?

I'd like to know about him as well. For those who are watching this game, has Santonio Holmes been on the field much today?

I've only watched the 2nd half. Haven't seen him do anything or heard anybody mention him. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

 

[glipp12]

Ditto? Where in the world is Santonio Holmes?

 

[glipp12]

Is he injured?

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Janikowsk FG = game over.

 

[ICON211]

A good NFL receiver would have gotten a PI on that last play. Would have jumped back into the defender.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Holmes just dropped a pass, so yes, he is in and apparently uninjured. Just a bad day at the office I guess.

Thanks for answering.

 

[SacramentoBob]

His knee looked down.

 

[Yenrub]

Wow. Sanchez runs it in

Can't believe they went for it on 4th

 

[Dr. Awesome]

He's short. His knee was down. They'll review this.

 

[njherdfan]

Awful, awful coaching not to kick the field goal there.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

Ryan is going to take loads of heat for that call.

 

[Joe Summer]

That was just a dumb call on Rex Ryan's part. Take the 3 points and get the onside kick.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Going for it was the right call though.

 

[Army Eye]

Why is that a bad call? They were at the 2 yard line. They need one touchdown. Are they really going to get a better chance at a touchdown than that on the next drive? With 47 seconds left?

 

[Mello]

Awful, awful coaching not to kick the field goal there.

Disagree. If they could get an onside kick, there's a better chance of scoring a TD on 4th down there and getting into FG range to tie than kicking there and scoring a TD.

Not really. You need a TD and a FG. You're not going to get a better chance at a TD than being 2 yards out. It's a lot easier to get a FG with 40 seconds left after an onside recovery than a TD.

 

[Amused to Death]

were fans throwing things on the field there at the end? Looked like a cup and then a tennis ball or something. Strange since they just won the game.

 

[TLEF316]

Good call going for the TD. If there was like 1:15 left, I would say kick. But with 47 seconds, you have to take your shot at 6 there.

Disastrous loss. Not because the Raiders are a terrible team, but because of the Jets upcoming schedule.

Road trips to Balt and New England coming up. If they lose both and NE beats Oakland next week, the division is all but over (Don't think Buffalo is for real just yet)

 

[IvanKaramazov]

The decision to go for the TD wasn't just right, but obviously right. If you don't like your team's chances to get the TD from 2 yards out, then what are the odds of being able to get the TD if you recover an onside kick? Taking the FG would have been atrocious. It just didn't work out for the Jets.

It has nothing to do with whether you "like" your chances. It's purely about the math.

Indeed. Going for the TD is right if you break down the math too.

Pretty sure that was his point.

It seemed like he was saying that if you don't have the confidence to go for the TD, then you're not the kind of team that could score after an onside kick.
