There was some bad, more good, nothing that inspires images of the young Otto Graham just yet but more than enough to remind you that Sanchez has now won 28 games in 2 1/2 years as the starting quarterback for the Jets, and if you’d like a point of comparison, here’s one: That’s five more than team watchdog Joe Namath had in his final seven years as a Jet.
I think Sanchez hasn't taken the step forward I was hoping for so far this year. That said, the return to a run-first offense benefits him in many ways, including taking defenders out of the secondary, and allowing him to use his excellent play-action skills more effectively. Hopefully the second half of the year will prove better than the first half for him.
Still, for all the criticism, there's no denying the wins.

I was only able to watch the 2nd half of yesterday's game. That half, though, was the first time all season I've seen Sanchez, Plax and Holmes all on the same page. Sanchez was making sharp, fast throws and those guys were running quick, clean routes. Offense in 2nd half looked sharp (which clearly was not the case in the 1st half).
Importantly, O-line continues to look much better than first few games of season.
This Sunday's game is clearly a good test to see if Jets are back to form from last two years, and if Pats are sliding as bad as it appears. One thing's for sure, that Pats D is a huge liability. Their secondary blows big time.
