Please note the time of this post. The Jets and Bills are still in the first quarter of their 4 p.m. game.
And I predict Mark Sanchez will struggle today.
Why?
Well, my prediction is based on what I've heard from more than one NFL personnel guy. Mark Sanchez is solid, he is likely going to be just fine as a quarterback as long as the weather is good or he's playing inside a dome.
But in the Meadowlands? With the winds blowing? In the dead of winter's snow or rain?
The NFL folks tell me he's not equipped for that kind of weather.
Now, the winds are apparently blowing at Giants Stadium today. We'll see if the NFL folks are right or not.
Check back after the game for the results.
[Update: The game is over and in his first bad-weather game at the Meadowlands, Sanchez completed 10 of 29 passes for 119 yards with 5 interceptions. The Jets lost a game in which they rushed for 318 yards. Buffalo wins, 16-13 in overtime.]
That's all I got to say about that.
Boo Dirty Sanchez! You no good! Pobrecito Sanchito

Hey Armando...Parrish not active...Fins?

Jets SUCK!!!
Posted by: Po White Trash | October 18, 2009 at 04:44 PM
Jets suck. Bills suck more.
Posted by: CarlosVP | October 18, 2009 at 04:45 PM
My sources know what they're talking about ... at least so far.
Sanchez is 2 of 7 so far and several of his passes have sailed. Ha.

Never mind that stuff. Did you see what Brees did to the G-men D??? I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about next week. Forget about 35 min. of ball control, we'll need 40.

are you guys for real what the hell is a jets acticle doing an a miami paper !@#$% u guys for real. how cares really about the wets. jezz
Posted by: armando u suck | October 18, 2009 at 04:57 PM
Saints will be tough, but they wont be as good when they not in the dome... hopefully they come in overconfident after big win too
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 04:57 PM
Don't rag on Mando for this, this is article root against Jests. Its a bye week people, you too sensitive.
Good Job Mandito
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 04:58 PM
Jets and Bills look like two evenly matched teams... LOL. Hopefully we can get Brees and company to check out some of the clubs on the beach the night before the game. They looked unstoppable today, and the fins secondary could look foolish trying to stop them. We need some party promotor to step up and get these Saints way drunk.

Int from Sanchito
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:07 PM
Sanchise intercepted from tip of Edwards... Should call him Sanchype
Posted by: mike d | October 18, 2009 at 05:07 PM
You got a warm-weather QB (Sanchez) playing for a cold-weather team, and a cold-weather QB (Henne) playing for a warm-weather team. Advantage: Phins.

Anyone know what #1 quality WR's will be free agents after this season?
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:15 PM
This was the Saints biggest game of the year...two 5-0 teams I really believe there will be a deflation next week.after betting on a few games in my life, this would be one of those games you would watch for after a huge game for a team...I like the Dolphins chances next week...and that's been the knock on Dirty Sanchez since he was drafted...bad cold weather QB and that certainly looks like the case so far....Southern Cal boy is gonna gets lots of cold weather play with the JESTS LOL
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 05:18 PM
bobbyd12, I think u right, don't forget the dome factor too
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:20 PM
Turd Ferguson, I'm writing on the topic you mentioned for Monday's Miami Herald. You'll be surprised by how the Dolphins feel on the topic.
And to the genius that said I suck and why am I writing about the Jets ... um, the Dolphins aren't playing today. The Jets are. And the Dolphins played the Jets twice a year. And the Dolphins and the Jets are in the same division.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 18, 2009 at 05:22 PM
Sanchez get away with illegal formation on 4th down... Jets playing very dirty today, there should have been penalty too for how they take out Edwards... very dirty.
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:22 PM
U tell em Mando!
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:24 PM
Is Fitzpatrick relate to Aj Feeley or John Beck?
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:25 PM
Too funny, Armando!!
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:26 PM
Man the Bills are terrible
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:31 PM
Can't help but think they deserve it for signing T.O.
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:32 PM
Titans are terrible. sheesh
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:40 PM
was just saying that, golfito, in my fantasy league. essentially from 1st to worst
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:41 PM
I'm playing against Randy Moss today, I had the other team put away and Moss bringing them back
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:44 PM
I've got Brady and Welker, nice combo today
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:45 PM
Eagles stay home today?? Losing to Oakland??? That would be a tough loss if that score stands today
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 05:47 PM
I have Raplesburger, A. Peterson, and Ronnie Brown...
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:50 PM
Nice golfito! I have Brown too, took him earlier than projected. I knew he would have a good year.
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:53 PM
Brady, 5 TD's in the first half
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:54 PM
who is Brady? Never heard of him.
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:56 PM
;)
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 05:56 PM
LOL... I know, I had to hold my nose when I drafted him. It will be Brady who, when Henne gets a #1 receiver, though.
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 05:58 PM
any1 think reggie bush would be a good fit for miami?
Posted by: Kevin | October 18, 2009 at 06:00 PM
Mark Sanchez 4 of 14 with 1 TD and 1 int so far.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 18, 2009 at 06:01 PM
Armando, you are right in there with the NFL guys. You supported what they said, so, if Sanchez plays OK, YOU made the wrong call.
I'll give you your due, if you accept the consequences, when it is all said and done.
Posted by: sgoodwins | October 18, 2009 at 06:02 PM
"No" to the Reggie Bush question.
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:05 PM
I personally love the power backs. Nothing like watching the bruising running style punish a defense
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:07 PM
That's fair sgoodwins. If Sanchez plays well this winter in the elements, I'm wrong. If he doesn't ...
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 18, 2009 at 06:19 PM
It could be snowing with a 40% chance of hurricane and Dan could still throw against the Bills defense. Yeah, even with a suit on!
Posted by: Phinatic78 | October 18, 2009 at 06:21 PM
Hey carlito, Sanchez didn't get away with illegal formation, he got away with illegal immigration, like you.
Posted by: INS | October 18, 2009 at 06:21 PM
No wonder Calvin Pace doesn't like the Wildcat...less chances for him to make "dirty hits" on the QB...NFL should fine him for that one
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:25 PM
Armando, you mentioned Sanchez has thrown a pick and a TD. Did he throw a TD?
Posted by: Dishpan | October 18, 2009 at 06:25 PM
He hasn't thrown a TD
Posted by: Phinatic78 | October 18, 2009 at 06:26 PM
I'm just not letting you have an out, is all. If you make a statement like that, you have to man up, and not leave yourself an out...
I'm a southern (Los Angeles, and Sarasota)guy myself, and know what it is like to go to PA, in the winter. So, I know things are working in your favor.
Posted by: sgoodwins | October 18, 2009 at 06:26 PM
Another pick for Sanchez
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:27 PM
Thanks. I gotta say, I like that he's struggling in less than ideal weather conditions.
Posted by: Dishpan | October 18, 2009 at 06:28 PM
Sanchez just threw another pick... And I don't see a TD in his official stats
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:28 PM
INS,
You are horrible racist person and need prayer for you soul. Mark Sanchez born in USA to American parents. I took all legal avenues to come to america over 25 years ago and people like you a disgrace to this great nation of USA.
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 06:31 PM
Sgoodwins...Sanchez had that same reputation in college, why wpuld anything change in his rookie year in the NFL??? Fact is Armando didn't reveal any huge secret buy a known fact
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:31 PM
just ignore them carlito, they are not worth the attention
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:32 PM
bills driving Jets are fake
Posted by: robert evans | October 18, 2009 at 06:32 PM
LOL...Rex Ryan looks like his head is gonna blow up..Buffalo running for large chunks of yardage
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:34 PM
I can't believe I'm saying this.... Go Bills!!!
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:34 PM
Go Buffs!!
Posted by: Dishpan | October 18, 2009 at 06:36 PM
Sanchez 4/15, two ints and 0 td's
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:36 PM
haha Sanchez has -4 points in fantasy football!
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 06:37 PM
After watching what the Saints did to the Giants today; if the Fins win their next three games, they are playing in the Superbowl...and I will man up to that one!
