Why Was Sanchez Yelling For The Jets To NOT Score?!!

[Really, Jets]

Is he serious?!! First and goal from the 8, and trailing 14-12... Do you really want to kick a FG and give Philly the ball back w 45 seconds left, needing a FG to win? Makes no sense to me, but I'm sure there is disagreement.

[Joe W. Namath]

That was so dumb.  

[GuitarJet]

Sorry, you take the score. The defense got the job done all afternoon. And they got the job done on the last Philly posession. WIN

Philly coaching staff should be getting murdered for letting us score.  What a dumb call by them.

[Jetfuel66]

The right move would have been to take a knee at the 1 yard line. That would have forced the eagles to use a time out or at worst the Jets could have taken time off the clock with 2 plays from the 1 to score a TD.

makes sense?

[Hal]

I’d take a dive on the 1 and make them burn a timeout AT LEAST.

Yup. Our D came to play. Let them finish the game. We could have had a FG block for all we know.

Yes. Only if we don’t take into account our abysmal red zone numbers in the game.

You take the points  

[RutgersJetFan]

Yes let’s have us leave more red zone time in the hands of Zach Wilson. What could go wrong?

Makes sense IF they still get into the EZ anyway. It's still the Eagles defense.

Take the gift.

And ultimately, the win.

It's pretty universal that you should down it at the one, burn the clock down, then score the TD or FG, so the opponent (down in this case by only 6) has as little a chance as possible to score their own TD in the time left.  Announcers will raise this every single time the situation arises, and while technically right, it's a mindset I personally have never believed it myself.

Basically Jets up by 1 with 10-20 seconds left is presumed to be better than the Jets up by 5 (or 6) with almost 2 minutes left.  Or so conventional NFL wisdom would say.

We're talking about the Jets here.

[sourceworx]

He wasn't wrong, and Saleh is a dumb ****. 

That said, I'm happy we won.

[Larz]

It would have come down to a 1 point lead and 1:00 to go or 6 point lead with 1:40

If a FG gives you a 4 point lead or better scoring a TD right away is a risk

Its not even debateable.  It was a horrible move by the eagles to let us score a td.  Coach is a moron.

He remembers when MJD did it to us

We couldn't get in the end zone all game. No way.

Sanchez needs a new color coded wristband for the booth.

[nyjets1969]

Sanchez is right should have fell at the 1 yard line force the time outs and rundown the clock the Jets were hurting at CB if Hurts manage to get a shot down the field with 1:40 on the clock game over luckily it worked out.

You run down the clock and score a FG.  A win is a win, let's enjoy it. 

[UntouchableCrew]

On one hand you obviously want to burn more clock… But given our ineptness in the redzone it’s hard to turn down the TD.

No because you’re assuming the TD

But they weren't up by 1 and you never know what can happen. Fumble? INT? Missed FG?  Take the TD and let the defense hold a 6 point lead everyday.

it was after the 2 minute warning. I think that makes a YOOG difference

You’re ok with a 1 point lead and the eagles have a minute to go? I’m not 

surely you’re not assuming a TD on 3rd and goal.

I thought that at first and if the Jets are up you absolutely take a knee. 
 

Nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. Take the TD say thank you and turn it over to your defense

[DoubleDown]

Jets were right.

Eagles and Sanchez were wrong.

The correct move for the Eagles was to stop the clock twice and force a FG. They would have received the ball back with at least 45 seconds left and only down 1.

Since it was first and goal, the Jets were unable to pick up a first down and run out the clock. And they absolutely should not risk not scoring the TD by taking a knee at the 1.

The Eagles having two timeouts instead of zero or one made all the difference in the correct strategy to take.

this is only right if the Eagles dont have time outs

they eagles had them , so it was either up by 6 with 1:45 left in the game or up by 1 with 1:00 to go in the game

i will take being up by 6 every single time 

[Xtina]

He was trying so hard all game long to prove how oh so football smart he is. He sounded like he was a at a party trying to impress.
He was also dissing  G Wilson at the very beginning the game but I missed the gist of it. Anybody catch that? Something about padding stats?

he can take his salmon and go home 

[Bobby816]

Big difference between getting the ball back to kick a FG with more time than having to score a TD with more time. Phillys bad decision helped us.

Up by 6 with 1:45 and the Eagles with 2 timeouts

vs.

Up by 6 or 1 with 1:00 and the Eagles with no timeouts.

Again, I said quite clearly it's not a "conventional NFL wisdom" mentally I particularly agree with, and I'm not advocating that Hall did anything wrong whatsoever.

[TheNuuFaaolaExperience]

In retrospect, scoring was the correct decision. If we had our defense from two years ago, you kneel at the one and kick the FG on 4th down. The Eagles were not scoring on this defense. This defense defending a lead is dangerous.

That is normally true. But Zach Wilson has worst red zone % in NFL history. Knowing the jets wouldn’t risk letting him throw there, they would stack the run and FG would be likely.
