Rate This Jets Loss

A little free therapy for Jets fans … (It’s best to let it all out.)

What one play infuriated you the most from Thursday night’s loss at Denver?
(Non-Jets fans can play along, especially if you felt that the better team didn’t win.)

Mac from Atlanta, a Jets fan and Fifth Down commenting stalwart, gets us started. In another post, he pointed out two plays – the Mark Sanchez interception-turns-into-touchdown and this one:

The Jets’ second-to-last drive, where they had the ball at midfield and had a chance to run out most of the clock. After a short run and an incompletion: on 3rd and long as the Jets lined up, Brandon Moore pointed out an overload blitz from the right. Sanchez did not recognize it and adjust, rushed the throw and it went incomplete. Poor awareness and lack of adjustment meant a quick 3 and out. Granted those were only two plays, but to me they symbolize the problems with the offense this season.

Extra point Were does this game rank among the worst regular-season losses of the Rex Ryan era? It seems to be fairly competitive in that category with the blowout loss at New England last season (humiliating but the Jets were on their way to an 11-5 record) and the defeat at home to Atlanta the year before (after which Ryan incorrectly declared the Jets’  season over).
