Mark Sanchez, who made it clear in training camp that he wants to take ownership of the New York Jets' offense, did just that Wednesday. In the offensive meeting room, where embattled coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was looking for answers, Sanchez stood up and addressed the group, according to sources. It wasn't a Knute Rockne speech; he just emphasized the importance of showing accountability and focusing on details, sources said. "We're ready to have a breakout game," the quarterback said later at his locker, demonstrating some Rex Ryan-esque bravado. "I think [there is] no better week to do it. We'll get a win in our new stadium and get things rolling again." The offense played poorly in the season-opening 10-9 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, producing just 74 yards through the air and the feeling close to the team is the offense will be simplified Sunday against the New England Patriots, focusing on straightforward, smashmouth football -- a deviation from the pre-snap motioning and shifting seen against the Ravens. "We'll have games where we throw for over 300 yards," he said. "I know it. I'm confident in it." The Jets' last 300-yard passing day was Jan. 1, 2007, when Chad Pennington threw for 300 in a playoff loss to the Patriots, and that means they've gone 36 straight games without a 300-yard performance, counting the postseason.

this is a good move by Mark on his part But I really dont think they will do much better then they ddi this past week.
Jets are going to get killed by the Patriots on Sunday. Pains me to say this....but the Patriots still look strong. But I'm still sticking with Miami to win the AFC East.
No! I don't wanna believe the hype. Lol. I do hope the Jets beat the Patriots, but I don't think it will happen. Then again, this is football.. anything can happen.
