AFJF Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Both big plays but lots of criticism of Fitz for throwing the pick that Marshall ripped out deep in Jets territory, but what about Fitz bailing Mangold out on wild snap that would have given Cleveland the ball on the Jets' 2 yard line? Basically Fitz vs. several Cleveland defenders and he came out with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Fitz vs. several Cleveland defenders and he came out with it. I find it amazing how after so many years of inadequacy at the QB position, a normal QB feels like having a Montana on board. I am exaggerating but you get what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...If Cleveland picks that up they're on the two...if Marshall doesn't strip the INT, Cleveland still has a long way to go to get in the EZ.

jgb Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Heads up football. When is last time we saw that behind center? Not saying Fitz won't make mistakes, or that he does not have some physical deficiencies, but at least he knows what the Hell is going on out there.

rex-n-effect Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Showed me we finally have a QB who isn't going to make colossally stupid mistakes even if he isn't always the most consistent passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastmover Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 What was crazy about Fitz's recovery of the football was he was upside down practically doing a head stand when he grabbed the ball, and managed to hold on to it when the dust settled.

Long Island Leprechaun Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 two plays that were caused by good plays from the Jets. Why are we supposed to look at them as anything other than what they were. We made plays yesterday. Agreed. Anytime you don't turnover the ball within five of your end zone it's a bigger play. But that's about outcome, not about the player's action. I give the bigger nod to Marshall for doing what receivers rarely do... go for the ball even after it's been picked. That was very unusual and aggressive. Almost always, receivers just tag the guy down and wash their hands of the play. Fitz actually got lucky with the ball location when he pulled it in. Great play, in any case, just not outside the box like Marshall's steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, we're ignoring the ramifications of what would have happened if they play hadn't been made which would contribute to which play was more important. Some of us like the details, some of us don't. For all the criticism of Fitz for his pick, I find it funny that nobody felt the need to mention the play he made which was just as big as the one Marshall made, if not bigger.

whodeawhodat Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 IMO, the fumble recovery was biggers since it was inside our own 5 yard line BUT I was more impressed with B.Marshall since he just took the ball from the defender, he just wanted it more.
