Sauce Gardner is crying, but does he have a point?

[Captain_Quint]

The NFL wanted him to be the next star and turned their head until enough media people, fans, coaches, etc talked about it. Now they are actually calling it like it happens and he acts like its some conspiracy. 

 

Overrated from day 1.

Love that he is part of the Jets wheel of mediocrity.

Just look at the Bills now versus the drought. The refs boned us constantly back then.

Remember when Gilmore was a liability on a bad Buffalo team and a DPOY on a good Patriots team

Gilmore was avoiding contact when w the Bills his last year.  He was a major liability against the run.  Playing to get to free agency healthy.  He played hard for the Pats and performed.  I was glad to see his bad attitude go.

The NY press needs its anointed stars.  His contract was about selling tickets in NJ.  He is ok, but not $30mil/season ok.

Sauce has no idea what he's talking about, the Jets have been terrible his entire career, refs have just stopped giving his sticky handed ass a pass.

Gardner right or wrong, doesn’t change the fact that the officiating in that game was horrible.

Are Sauce & Brett related?

Sauce is constantly holding and interfering, it’s been discussed on this board more than once, he came into the league with this as his trademark, 

I always felt he got away with way too much. His rep is catching up with him.

This is the same guy that when he came in the league the officials constantly looked the other way with all his grabs. And they weren't a winning team then. 

 

Fast forward a couple years and his reputation has caught up to him. Coaches are in the officials ears a bit more. Looks like Sauce needs to learn how to cover without grabbing the WR so much.

This is kind of what I was thinking.  He is a very "handsy" cornerback.  Maybe the league is having officials call it a little more closely.

Do the refs penalize bad teams more, or is it that Sauce just haven't watched enough Bills games?

Sauce Gardner says refs harder on him because Jets losing team

 

Star cornerback Sauce Gardner believes the officials are picking on him, and he claimed it's because the New York Jets are a losing team.

 

Gardner, penalized for pass interference in a 27-21 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, said he's "personally frustrated." It was the second straight week that he was flagged for pass interference.

 

"I watch football all the time, and I just feel like -- I don't know if this is wrong to say -- but I think I get called for more stuff just based off of us not winning," said Gardner, who signed a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension before training camp that made him the NFL's highest-paid corner.

 

"I watch these winning programs, and there'd be some egregious things, and it don't get called. They're letting the players play."

 

Welcome to the NFL, Sauce.  And oh, Boo Hoo.  

 

I think the truth is, when Sauce was the shiny new star, he got away with a lot of stuff.  Well, the shine is worn down now and he's getting treated more in line with other DBs and called for more of the penalties he actually commits.

I feel like we get away with a lot more than we used to prior to 2020- especially in crunch time. 
 

maybe it’s because the weed is better now 🤷🏻‍♂️

You just have to roll 'em thinner now so you don't fall on your face.

Maybe the ref's just don't like his first name (nickname).

He should change it to Ina

[thronethinker]

No Sauce, it’s because you’re a Jet. And you have a silly name. That’s it.
