Still the Jets offense was absolutely pathetic. Rex Ryan and company are nuts if they think that attempting 5 yard passes is going to help them win in the playoffs, let alone make the playoffs. Sanchez 3.5 YPA wouldn't have been so bad had they attempted a couple of deep throws.
What I want to know is why the hell would you not try to go deep against a team thats playing their second string corners and is currently without the best safety in the league. If the Ravens defense has a week spot it's that secondary. Sure you have to survive their pass rush, but again the deepest pass I saw attempted was an 11 yard curl to Cotchery. That is simply unacceptable for any team, let alone a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
They might try to spin it as they weren't trying to take risk so they could stay in the game, but the ironic thing is that playing low risk football sometimes ends up being a risk in and of itself.
