Eagles 45 – NY Jets 19

The final score says it all and after a beating like that the only thing the Jets can do is be thankful their playoff hopes are still alive.  The Jets still control their own destiny after losses by the Titans and Raiders.  A complete game recap courtesy of the Associated Press appears below, but first some quick thoughts:

• Santonio Holmes had several costly miscues early in the 1st quarter; a fumble that was returned for a TD and a Mark Sanchez pass slipped through his hands and was intercepted.  Physical mistakes happen and when you have a Super Bowl MVP on your resume you will get the benefit of the doubt more often than not.  What is not excusable is a taunting penalty after a TD catch when your team is losing.  Act like you have been there before, this saying seems to be something Santonio Holmes is a bit unclear on…
• Wayne Hunter is not the answer at Right Tackle.  Unfortunately Vladimir Ducasse is not the answer right now either.  The waiver wire sounds good right about now, the Jets should be checking for veteran help immediately.
