According
to the official Gillette Stadium game clock, the New York Jets lost
their cool with 38 seconds remaining in a winnable battle they let slip
away against a frustrated Tom Brady.Jets center Nick Mangold tackled New
England Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib below the knees on the Patriots
sideline following Geno Smith's third fourth-quarter interception in
Thursday night's 13-10 loss to the vulnerable-looking 2-0
Patriots.Mangold's tackle ignited a wild melee that ended with left
tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and guard Willie Colon getting
ejected."Mangold tried to make a tackle, he goes to try and take the
guy, the guy turned his back, he went into the back of his legs – and it
wasn't intentional,'' Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "He just tried to make a
cut tackle. He went out of bounds. And then all heck broke loose
apparently. And our team was the only one involved in it."Mangold was
surprised Patriots coach Bill Belichick lit into him."I figured he would
have had more poise than that,"Mangold said. "I find it hard to believe
that we were the only ones who got ejected. We played a hard-fought
game. But turnovers killed us.''That's because the 1-1 Jets truly lost
it when Smith reverted to rookie form with his three-interception,
fourth-quarter meltdown. It began with the first of two ill-advised
throws intercepted by Talib.On third-and-5 from the New England 27-yard
line with 11:22 remaining, his team trailing by the final margin, Smith
had his Mark Sanchez red-zone implosion.Smith was flushed left by

window with receiver Clyde Gates covered. Cornerback Kyle Arrington
deflected Smith's pass and Talib intercepted it. That snuffed the Jets'
best last chance to score either the go-ahead touchdown or tying field
goal."I just made a decision that ultimately cost my team" Smith
said."We came out, competed hard. But with the mistakes that were
completely on me, we didn't get it done."
The
former West Virginia star finished 15 of 35 for 214 yards with a 27.6
passer rating."I don't like to look at this as a learning experience
because I think I'm ready for this,"Smith said. "I know I'm ready for
this. And I've got to take care of the ball. I've got to give us a
chance to win.Nike Air Max''The
Jets are starting over with Smith now that incumbent starter Mark
Sanchez's dislocated throwing shoulder requires surgery. Sanchez
declined to discuss his condition with reporters afterward.Though
Sanchez said Thursday he will try to rehab his dislocated right
shoulder, a person close to him told USA TODAY Sports that eventually
Sanchez will need surgery on the shoulder, and it's likely to land him
on season-ending injured reserve.Thursday night's game was there for the
taking for New York. Rookie defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson heard
disgust hissing from Brady after each dropped pass or missed scoring

his receivers whittled by free agency and injuries to a group of
unproven rookies, Brady longed for the trusted hands of Wes Welker, Rob
Gronkowski and Danny Amendola. When wide open rookie receiver Aaron
