Attention New York Jets fans: Mark Sanchez is not the answer. Sure, he has accomplished more than a lot of the quarterbacks the Jets have thrown out there over the years, but it’s not enough, and it doesn’t look like it ever will be.

January 31st, 2012 afcbeast INDIANAPOLIS — Cris Collinsworth famously called the 2008 Arizona Cardinals the worst playoff team in NFL history. That was before the Cardinals won three consecutive playoff games to reach Super Bowl XLIII. That improbable run forced Collinsworth — and a lot of other people — to reassess. The 2011 New York Giants are taking a [...]

January 14th, 2012 afcbeast In August I wrote a column elaborating on a statement by Greg Cosell that chastised Mark Sanchez and exploited all type of flaws that I have noticed in his performance, as well as the presentation from his coaches and the media. I was very strong in my statements with little statistical backing. I expected to [...]

January 14th, 2012 afcbeast The New York Jets are becoming well known for their Super Bowl guarantees. First, it was QB Joe Namath back in 1969 ensuring the Jets would beat the heavily favored Baltimore Colts.

January 11th, 2012 afcbeast If there was one game through wild-card weekend that had me curious from an officiating angle, it was the New Orleans Saints’ 45-28 win over the Detroit Lions. All four playoff games last weekend had at least one ref-based howler, but the inadvertent whistle that cost the Lions a touchdown was very uncharacteristic of the [...]
