Weekly Sanchez Report: Perhaps now, he can rest in peace

Another week, another tough game for Mark Sanchez. Monday's match-up was one of his worst this season, as the poor boy threw four interceptions and saw his team lose to the now 5-9 Titans. The Jets also saw their playoff hopes go dashing through the snow.

Here we go, the time we've all been waiting for. Bowl games almost everyday. Of course we have to wade through a bunch of crap first, but who cares. It's still college football! And honestly these should be pretty good, close games.

Weekly Sanchez Report

A week after returning from the dead, Sanchez got a win over the hapless Jaguars. While his numbers were nothing impressive Ghost Sanchez didn't turn the ball over which has been his worst crime against humanity to date.

weekend review #15 navy wins, you sunk my te'o ship!

I was wrong about it being high scoring but Navy ended up getting the win after a costly turnover by Army with victory in sight. As far as stats go it was pretty much what you'd expect. Army quarterback Trent Steelman was 4/5 for 48 yards while he rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown. Keenan Reynolds on the other hand threw for a huge 130 yards and rushed for a touchdown. Not a bad outing for either QB. Rushing defense seemed to play a big roll in the game as both teams were held for less than usual.

The other big thing of the day was Johnny Manziel winning the Heisman. I'm not necesarily upset about it but I do think Manti Te'o was more deserving  For a defensive player to have as big of an impact as Te'o did all year can't be overlooked. As much as possible in football I think you could argue that he's the biggest factor in Notre Dame being undefeated and about to play in the NCG. Heisman voters were wowed by Manziel's gaudy numbers and that one game against Alabama and let that be more of a factor than what Te'o did all year. 

In many respects the race seemed very similar to the AL MVP award in baseball this year. You had one guy who had the raw numbers while you had another guy who had more of an intangible effect on his team. At least in baseball they got it right.

I'm probably also biased because with Manziel winning it already his freshman year there's a chance he could win it again and as an Ohio State fan I want that guy to only be Archie Griffin.

BREAKING MARK NEWS: Back from the dead, now a ghost of some kind

Breaking news today as Mark is still officially the starter despite his appalling performance last weekend. Jets coach and Mark BFF Rex Ryan made the call today and will issue a press conference soon. This news has resurrected Mark and his feelings back from the dead, at least for the time being. Will Mark be able to handle the boos that will inevitably rain down on him? Luckily, as a ghost, the boos should pass right through him. Stay tuned!

Usually I post these on Thursday but I just couldn't wait to dig in to this match up.

Weekly Sanchez Report: He died for our sins

It finally happened. 'Ol Mark was benched today after throwing for 90 some yards and throwing three interceptions. In his place Greg McElroy took over since Tim Tebow is injured. McElroy put the only points on the board for Jets, which happened to be just enough as they won 7-6 keeping their extremely small play off hopes alive
