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.
If Brady throws another touchdown, the Titans should be demoted to UFL or whatever that new league is called

Dirty Sanchez. Not equipped for this.

Brady is done for today
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:41 PM
Well I think its pretty obvious the Dolphins weakest link is the secondary. EVERY single week we get beat for at least 1-2 deep balls. And is it just me or are we ALWAYS just a step late back there? Who would have thought Oakland actually knew what they were doing with Gibril Wilson? Of course pass defense goes hand in hand with the pass rush. JT needs to realize he can't get by on quickness anymore. I'm sick of seeing him just try to speed rush around the tackle. Anyway, looking ahead to next week I don't see any scenario where we win the game. Brees should be salivating at the thought of playing our defense.

Way they are talking on Jets radio, Kris Jenkins might be done for year...huge loss if that's true
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:43 PM
another pick for sanchito
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 06:45 PM
Sanchez picked for 3rd time !!?!
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:45 PM
Let's all be honest here, Sanchez really doesn't have the tools to thrive past October as a Jets QB. He just isn't, and that's just dandy.
Posted by: Dishpan | October 18, 2009 at 06:46 PM
By the way Mando, I guess we should be hoping for inclement weather in 2 weeks? Whats the "inside scoop" on Henne? How does he handle the elements?
Posted by: JohnnyBlaze | October 18, 2009 at 06:46 PM
Can't wait for Jets fans to turn on Sanchito like they did on Pennington
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 06:47 PM
This is why Belecheck is so hated...cmon 58-0 and Brady still in??? No class
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:47 PM
Calvin Pace....it's interesting how guys like, Merriman and Pace,get games off for using roids, and then don't come back and play at the same level of performance. That would be an interesting article for someone like ummm, maybe Mando!
Posted by: sgoodwins | October 18, 2009 at 06:47 PM
Henne played at Michigan. I think he can handle the cold weather pretty good.
Posted by: Brett | October 18, 2009 at 06:47 PM
Sanchise is BAAAAADDDDD! 5-17 3ints LOL!!!!
Posted by: mike d | October 18, 2009 at 06:48 PM
OK mando,go ahead and take the wife out to dinner, the menace has arrived,just saw the score for the pats, 52 to 0 tom bunchen 28 out of 34 for 360 yds and 6 tds.. ouch
Posted by: cuban menace | October 18, 2009 at 06:48 PM
Armando, do you think Rosco Parrish will end up as a Miami Dolphin by the deadline?
Posted by: Bryan | October 18, 2009 at 06:50 PM
Lee Evans burns man. Wow
Posted by: Dishpan | October 18, 2009 at 06:50 PM
LEE EVANS!
Posted by: Brett | October 18, 2009 at 06:50 PM
T.D. Bills!!!
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:50 PM
TD Bills!!!!
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 06:51 PM
And yes, the saints putting up that many points against the G-Men, wow, be worried, be very worried..
Posted by: cuban menace | October 18, 2009 at 06:51 PM
tied up
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:51 PM
Go Bills 13 all
Posted by: Wnyphinphan | October 18, 2009 at 06:51 PM
Ugh, only catch me say this when they play the Jests or Patsies, but...
GO BILLS
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 06:52 PM
Armando, do you have any sources saying who the Dolphins might pull off a trade for?
Posted by: Bryan | October 18, 2009 at 06:52 PM
bills score Jets are fake oh i'm sorry it's too cold wht the h--l I hope it's freezing in two weeks Chads played in it and very well
Posted by: robert evans | October 18, 2009 at 06:52 PM
This is right where the jets belong. Battling the Bills to determine the worst team in the east.
Posted by: Brett | October 18, 2009 at 06:53 PM
I'd like to see the phins start both rookies at the corners. Call me crazy but if we are going to get burned anyway, It would be nice to have a guy like Vontae who has the potential to make a big play going the other way
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:54 PM
Cuban Menace:
I agree we should be worried about the Saints but on a positive note if we can play a similiar game as we did against the Colts we have a good shot. We need to keep the ball out of Brees' hands. The difference could be we now have Henne and our offense might be a little bit better than it was when we played the Colts.
Posted by: Brett | October 18, 2009 at 06:55 PM
Come on Jests, throw ...
Posted by: Dishpan | October 18, 2009 at 06:55 PM
No better way to refine them by fire than against the Saints offense
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 06:55 PM
It's good to see that Tom Brady is back to 100%. Now it'll be sixteen times funnier when Cameron Wake tears that douchebag's MCL in a few weeks. I can't believe he was left in that long. Is Belicheat starting him on his fantasy team or something?
Posted by: mmmtravis | October 18, 2009 at 06:57 PM
Sanchez almost threw a pick 6
Posted by: Brett | October 18, 2009 at 06:57 PM
Just looking at the Jets game now. Last series was Run, Run, Run. Have they already given up on Sanchez this game? How poor has he looked up to this point? I just tuned in right now.
Posted by: JohnnyBlaze | October 18, 2009 at 06:57 PM
just goes to show shut up and play talk and even the Bills take your lunch money Go BILL! at least for one week I now need another beer for rooting for the hated Bills
Posted by: robert evans | October 18, 2009 at 06:59 PM
Man the Bills are bad. Just give the game away why don't you.
Posted by: JohnnyBlaze | October 18, 2009 at 06:59 PM
mmmtravis has just been named the MVP of this blog. That's good stuff man, lol ... Screw the patsies
Posted by: Dishpan | October 18, 2009 at 06:59 PM
Henne played in Ann Arbor. No worries.
In fact, the Dolphins are built to play BETTER in the cold. Is that not ironic?
Yup, the Miami team will play better when the weather gets nasty. You'll see.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 18, 2009 at 07:00 PM
hahaha. congrats jets. your future qb cant play at home. you may just lose to the hapless bills. see you in 2 weeks losers
Posted by: smirish | October 18, 2009 at 07:00 PM
Jones- 14 carries for 177 yards!! He will easily clear the 200 mark tonight.
Posted by: JohnnyBlaze | October 18, 2009 at 07:01 PM
It's not looking good for our DB's next week
Posted by: payuengsnwings | October 18, 2009 at 07:01 PM
4th pick by sanchype!!!
Posted by: mike d | October 18, 2009 at 07:03 PM
Heard it here first, Jenkiins torn ACL!!
Posted by: cejatc | October 18, 2009 at 07:03 PM
Pick 4!!!
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 07:04 PM
Completely agree Armando
Posted by: GrimRocker | October 18, 2009 at 07:04 PM
Brett, bro the air breathing mammals had the ball for 45 minutes and manning shredded the secondary, thank god Payton didn't have the ball for 15 more minutes they'd have scored 50 points, but i agree having Chad(neck fat) Henne in as Q.B this will be a high scoring affair, take the over on this one guys, id even say bet the farm(unless the banks foreclosed on it)(then again screw it bet it any way)
Posted by: cuban menace | October 18, 2009 at 07:05 PM
Btw, Sanchez is 6 for 21 with 3 ints right now. You guessed correctly, Mando.
Posted by: mmmtravis | October 18, 2009 at 07:06 PM
Nice call Mando. Now hopefully Sanchez completely throws this game away and the Bill get a W.
Posted by: cristhewiz | October 18, 2009 at 07:08 PM
It is nice to see Sanchito doing so well. AHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Posted by: Ace | October 18, 2009 at 07:10 PM
Whoops, 4 ints I guess. Haha, that is a great irony you guys have pointed out though. Sanchez isn't made to play at the Meadowlands and the Dolphins could get better in the wind and the snow. How many cold weather away games are we expecting in Nov/Dec?
Posted by: mmmtravis | October 18, 2009 at 07:11 PM
i seem to remember a jet fan here talking about fattening up on there next 2 opponents....apparently they are having trouble getting any fatter.....
Posted by: severinno | October 18, 2009 at 07:14 PM
Wow, the Bills are actually trying to win this game. And Trent Edwards, I think, won't get his job back.
Posted by: Tommya | October 18, 2009 at 07:15 PM
Why does that one commentator keep calling him San-Chezzz?
Posted by: mmmtravis | October 18, 2009 at 07:19 PM
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE REX RYANS FAT FACE IF THEY LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 07:19 PM
Offensive coordinator showing NO confidence in Sanchez.and he just got SACKED
Posted by: bobbyd12 | October 18, 2009 at 07:20 PM
Jet fans already booing Sanchez. Can't wait to see them turn on they sweetheart
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 18, 2009 at 07:22 PM
Wow! Titans got big problems.
If the bills beat jets,Sweeeeet!!!
If the Fins beat the saints next week. Mark it down, we R superbowl bound!!!
Posted by: Finatic | October 18, 2009 at 07:22 PM
The Sanchise is wetting himself all over the Meadowlands...I cannot wait to play this team again in two weeks.
Posted by: Cory A. | October 18, 2009 at 07:22 PM
Imagine rex(Two ton)Ryan getting fatter...e would be like a super nova collapsing upon him self and creating a super massive black hole..
Posted by: cuban menace | October 18, 2009 at 07:22 PM
Man, Eagles lose to the horrendous Raiders...They can't be happy in Philly either
