Murder at The Meadowlands

A sea of red could be seen throughout MetLife Stadium Sunday afternoon.  San Francisco 49ers fans were out in full force at the Meadowlands in what was a Jets home game.  It sure didn't look or hear  like one Sunday.

It was all 49ers Sunday as they destroyed the Jets, 34-0.  Gang Green played awful football in every facet of the game.  Mark Sanchez was abysmal all afternoon.  Sanchez was 13 for 29 for 103 yards to go with an interception.  His quarterback rating was a microscopic 2.8.  He was also sacked three times against a superb 49ers defense.  If that wasn't enough, the Jets' rushing attack was just as brutal.  They had a combined 45 yards of 17 rushes.  The longest rush was for five yards.  

To add injury to insult, Santonio Holmes went down with a foot injury after making a reception to start the 4th quarter.  He fell to the ground in pain, and proceeded to throw the ball up to Carlos Rodgers, who took it 51 yards to the endzone for a touchdown.  It is not known how long exactly Holmes will be out for, but it does not look good.  He is expected to be out at least for a couple of weeks.  This comes a week after the Jets lost their best player, Darrelle Revis, for the season with a torn ACL.  Now, the Jets are left without their best offensive and defensive playmakers...and it's only four games into the season.  

Can it get any worse for Gang Green?  This team was already in a ton of trouble after losing Revis for the season.  Without their two best players, the Jets are expecting contributions from a lot of bench players, who just are not good enough.  The Tebow chants began Sunday in just the second home game for the Jets.  Sanchez struggled once again.  After an impressive week one, Sanchez has been hard to watch for Jets fans the last three weeks.  

The talks of Tim Tebow taking over have already begun.  Will Tebow's time come soon? If Sanchez continues to play as he did Sunday, it may be sooner than later.  It also doesn't help when owner, Woody Johnson, says publicly that he would rather see Mitt Romney win the Presidency than the Jets win football games.  Good that the owner has the team's back right? 

Things could get ugly quick for Rex Ryan's squad.  They take on the 4-0 Houston Texans next Monday night at MetLife Stadium.
