marke0322 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It's not that important to answer the chicken-and-egg question about what came back first -- the New York Jets' running game, or Mark Sanchez's ability to take a stand and show he deserves to remain the Jets' starting quarterback. The point is, Sanchez made his claim. He tightened his slippery grip on the job -- on a day a lot of the Jets' MIAs came back in from the cold, not just him. Now New England sits just ahead next week, and Sanchez and the rest of the Jets have to prove they can play this way consistently against good NFL teams. Not just teams like the re-tooling Indianapolis Colts. [+] Enlarge Nick Laham/Getty Images Mark Sanchez didn't have to throw the ball much against the Colts, helped by a strong ground game. "Here we come," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "I don't feel like tugging on Superman's cape today." Pause. "But maybe tomorrow," he joked. Sanchez was never really in danger of losing his job by next week anyway, even if he hadn't game-managed the Jets to a 35-9 win over the Colts on Sunday. He's still the best quarterback the Jets have. And it's hard to forget the way the New England Patriots dismantled Tim Tebow in the AFC playoffs last season, after Tebow pulled off the Denver Broncos' dramatic upset of the Piitsburgh Steelers. But Sanchez needed a win like this just the same, after the chatter that had been swirling around him for weeks -- even right up to the kickoff of Sunday's game. Ex-Jet LaDainian Tomlinson said during his usual Sunday spot on the NFL Network's pregame show that he had conversations during the past week with some current Jets who said Sanchez was "pretty much at the end of his rope" and on the verge of losing part of the team because of his lackluster play. And Colts safety Antoine Bethea wasn't being complimentary of Sanchez after the game when he said, "We wanted to put the game in Sanchez's hands and get him to make some mistakes. [but] they were doing a great job of running the ball." So great, in fact, that Sanchez attempted only 18 passes. He completed 11 -- two of them for short touchdowns -- but his longest completion went for only 12 yards. The Jets won because their long-lost running game finally roared to life with 245 yards rushing -- 161 of them from Shonn Greene. Their pass rush finally stirred, and the Jets had three takeaways.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Doesn’t matter, it can’t happen. It’s impossible. Lois could never have Superman’s baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes can handle the sperm? I guarantee he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it’s strong enough to carry his child? He’s an alien, for Chrissake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth’s yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan, the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. That would kill him.
