Jets Struggle in Seattle

New York Jets vs. Seattle Seahawks Post Game Recap 11/11

The Jets tail spin continued on the west coast in Seattle against the Seahawks, as the Jets were dominated by Seattle losing 28-7 to move the Jets to 3-6 on the season, and have lost five of their last six.

The Jets offense looked awful again lead by an awful game from Mark Sanchez, who was only 9 for 22 with 124 yards passing, and threw a costly red-zone interception, and lost a fumble. Rex Ryan has to realize that Sanchez just isn’t good and make the switch to Tebow or Ryan maybe shown the door after the season.

Tim Tebow got to do some more than normal against Seattle, as Tebow threw one more pass on Sunday than he had all season. All three of Tebow’s passes were bubble screens to Jeremy Kerley but he was 3 for 3. He also ran it four times for 14 yards. The lack of Tebow use is a real head scratcher what do the Jets have to lose he can’t be worse than the way Sanchez is playing now.

The Jets rushing offense was mediocre against a good Seahawks defense, as Shonn Greene ran it 15 times for 58 yards, but as a team had less than 100 yards rushing so much for the ground and pound.

The Jets receiving core had a really rough time against the big physical Seattle secondary, as the Jets were lead in receiving by Jeremy Kerley who had five catches for 57 yards with most of that coming on a 43-yard catch. Dustin Keller was the only other Jet with multiple receptions, as Keller had three catches for 47 yards with most of that coming on his 32-yard catch.

The Jets defense was once again pretty good, as was the only reason that the Jets didn’t get shutout in Seattle thanks to a Muhammad Wilkerson fumble return for a touchdown. The Defense was playing well up until the 4th quarter but probably got tired from being on the field to long or just gave up that their offense was doing nothing to help them. Some bright spots for the defense were that they did a very good job putting pressure on rookie quarterback Russell Wilson sacking him four times.

The special teams once again let the Jets down this week, as Jeremy Kerley fumbled a punt return mistakes that just can’t be made with the lack of an offense for the Jets. A positive on the special teams was that they did a good job containing former Jet Leon Washington keeping him from breaking anything big.

The Jets will be on the road again next week to face the St Louis Rams, and a familiar face in Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
