I'm not defending Geno, I've been fairly vocal in my belief that he should be competing for the backup spot at best next season, but let me get something straight. If Geno overthrows his receiver, it's Geno's fault. If Geno puts the ball up for the receiver to make a play and he doesn't, it's Geno's fault. If the receiver does and it's a great touchdown throw (okay - a bit under thrown but nonetheless) and catch (Harvin was masterful on that play) it's all on the receiver? Doesn't a receiver make a Quarterback?

Like I said, I'm really not defending Geno. I just can't wrap my head around that logic. Go Jets!

Completely agree and I am guilty with saying that each time but I guess that's a respect you earn over the years in the league. What we expect for Geno is to put the ball somewhere that his teammates can make a play. He's been throwing it to the opposing team.....

I'm rooting for Cleveland. They're up 7-0 over Indy.

Wow. Johnson was wide open. He got popped and fumbled but Minny recovered it. Johnson made Marcus Williams look silly.

The announcer just said that's only within two minutes of the half. If it happened then, they would have placed the ball at the spot of the fumble.

That was a great catch by the person we just signed off our practice squad.

That's completely understandable, and like I said there are times I agree with that line of thinking. My only fear is that, every time we thrust a young QB into a game and we expect him to make plays like a ten year vet and he inevitable screws up, we'll discard him without really finding out what he brings to the table. Especially since it looks like we'll be drafting a QB high this coming draft. If we can't let a young QB mess up on his own and come back out and try again, where does that leave us (That's actually my biggest problem with Ryan, but that's a conversation for a different time)?

Great run by Ivory. I love his style
