You realize having the Yankees winning the World Series over the Phillies and then the Jets in the SuperBowl would classify as my personal sports lowpoint when coupled with the performance by the Mets and Dolphins during the past season.

My hatred of the NY Jets is only eclipsed by my hatred of the Yankees.

LOL, pains me to root for the Colts anytime but Id rather see Manning go all the way than see over-rated Rex Ryan get more attention from the media.
Ill give the Jets credit for winning but talk about drinking the Kool-Aid.

First year coach with a rookie QB who has the team in the championship game and he's overrated??????

Blowhard, yes. But I don't believe you can point to a team that's been more prepared than the Jets.

Point taken but the Chargers played horrible, their first half penalties killed them and that had nothing to do with what the Jets were doing and dont even get me going on the SD kicker, lol

It had everything to do with the Jets' defense, to watch these games and not realize that is just being a poopyheaded Pat fan.

Or an over-zealous Jets fan ;).

What is the deal with Nate Kaeding? At home in the postseason he's something like 3 for 9 on FGs, but he's practically automatic during the regular season. He's the AFC's kicker on the Pro Bowl squad in 2 weeks.

Chargers dominated the first half everywhere except the scoreboard.Jets adjusted, stayed calm, played within their game, and awaited a Charger mistake and a Norv Turner brain fart. Since both were forthcoming they won. The major point is that they were in the game, so those things mattered. Sensible Jets fans figured the game would be close, but a no cigar. Same attitude will prevail this weekend. Know it must be hard to see the end of the Pats dynasty; watching that cheapskate Kraft in action has to make it worse.

LOL, yeah the Pats run is over, for now, I think. Im not happy with recent player moves.
I wish Peoli was still there he was as important as coach.

PS Ive heard from fans who didnt have a dog in this fight who said the Chargers just handed the Jets the game so its not just angry Pats fans ;)

BTW whats the over/under on how many Super Bowl 3 references we hear between now and kickoff.

I'm going with the Jets and the Vikings.



:eek:

That would be interesting, wouldn't it?

:grin:

Don't need to mention it, the Jets beat up the Colts and Payton in the playoffs in 2003.

And I really believe all your friends in Boston aren't all NY haters. :rolleyes:

Correction, Jets haters ;)

Correction, Jets haters ;)
They don't know the difference up there, so if a NY team is in it, they hate them. So of course they say the Chargers rolled over or gave up or whatever silly excuse they came up with.

How do you know if the folks I talk to were from Boston. You assume an awful lot about me . :D

Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees -- the run-up to Title Weekend is sure to focus on them. For my money, the Colts, Jets, Saints and Vikings made the championship round because they have the league's four best offensive lines.

Ninety percent of the action in football occurs away from the ball. When Jersey/B runners burst into the clear, or Favre casually dissects a defense, what's going on is terrific blocking. Manning was sacked less than any other NFL quarterback this season because the Colts' offensive line is tremendous. The Jets are in the championship round because of the holes their blockers open. The Vikings' and Saints' offensive lines both pass-block and run-block equally well, which is a rare combination. The TV commentators will be watching the glory boys holding the football. I'll be watching the offensive lines. All four are tremendous.

Here are some title game talking points:

• Surely Colts players will say this week that they welcome a rematch with the Jets, the team they laid down against last month. What they won't say is how relieved they are not to be facing the Chargers. San Diego may be a postseason fade-out team, but the Chargers have the Colts' number -- in the past four years, Indianapolis is 0-2 against San Diego in the playoffs, and 4-0 against all other teams in the playoffs.

Indianapolis is viewed as a mega-offense squad, but this season, the Colts have been winning close games with defense. The Colts finished last in the league in rushing -- this hardly rules them out; a season ago, the Cardinals finished last in rushing and made the Super Bowl -- and second in both passing yards and pass attempts. When they won the Super Bowl in 2007, the Colts surprised opponents in the postseason by rushing more than expected; this is the tactic waiting to be tried. The Jets' defense is addicted to the blitz, and no NFL quarterback likes to be blitzed more than Manning. He'd request a blitz on every snap if he could. The Ravens just went all-out attempting to sack Manning, and the result was a 20-3 defeat. Manning expects the Jets to go all-out attempting to sack him, so the defensive tactic waiting to be tried by Jersey/B is not blitzing.

See more below on what makes the Jets' blitzing different from other teams' defensive tactics. Can you really win a title game with a quarterback whose season-long QB rating was 63.0, among the worst in the league, and then 60.1 in the divisional round? We shall find out. As TMQ notes, with defenses choking up to stop the Jersey/B run, all Mark Sanchez needs to do is hit one long pass per game, and the Jets' offense will become dangerous.

Pregame key: Watch Matt Stover in warm-ups. All five postseason field goal attempts against the Jets have been misses, one reason for Jersey/B's improbable run. Cincinnati and San Diego place-kickers missed tries from the 28, 35, 36 and 40, and NFL kickers average about 85 percent success in this range. If these kicks went through the uprights, we wouldn't be talking J-E-T-S today.

• Minnesota at New Orleans -- between a first-ever chance to host an NFC title game, and the travails of the city of New Orleans, there will be more energy in the Superdome on Sunday than in Iron Man's pulse reactor. The sheer atmosphere-power within the facility may exceed the crowd feeling of any other game in NFL history. The Vikings are 9-0 at home this season, and 4-4 on the road -- the only quality team they beat on the road was the Packers. NFL players are not intimidated by crowd noise. But it won't just be crowd noise, it will be energy. The Vikings face an uphill climb.

Adrian Peterson -- remember him? He hasn't had a 100-yard rushing game since Nov. 15. The New Orleans run defense is weak, while its pass defense is strong. A conservative, rush-oriented game plan might be just what the doctor ordered considering New Orleans' personnel and the need to keep the Saints' league-leading offense off the field. But with Brett Favre and Brad Childress both preoccupied with pumping up Favre's stats (see below) will Minnesota be able to bring itself to do the smart thing and use a conservative game plan?

When the Saints have the ball,you just never know what is going to happen. They probably don't either, which is the joy of watching this team. When attention turns to the Vikings, all eyes are on Favre. But what makes Minnesota special is the best pair of lines in the league. The offensive line is stout, the defensive line is fantastic. The Vikings just clobbered the Cowboys via superior line play -- if they are to win in New Orleans, their lines will be the key.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 1: Pro Bowl place-kicker Nate Kaeding had made 59 consecutive field goal attempts of 40 yards or closer; he had not missed from the 40 or closer since September 2007. Against the Jets, he missed from 36 and 40.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 2: Nineteen players have scored touchdowns for New Orleans. Eight of them were undrafted.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 3: In two games against Indianapolis this season, Baltimore failed to score a touchdown.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 4: Arizona surrendered 70 points in a four-quarter stretch, from the second half of its win over Green Bay in the wild-card round through the first half of Saturday's loss to New Orleans.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 5: Kurt Warner is 0-3 in the postseason at the Superdome, and 8-1 in the postseason at all other stadiums.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 6: The Jets are on a 7-1 stretch.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 7: The Chargers have lost their last two home postseason games against the Jets.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 8: The Colts are on an 8-0 streak against the Ravens.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 9: The Cowboys are on a 1-7 stretch in the postseason.

Stats of the Divisional Round No. 10: After hosting six Super Bowls and three college football national title games, the New Orleans Superdome will finally host an NFC Championship Game.

Cheerleader of the Divisional Round: Lindsey of the Eagles, who according to her team bio is majoring in jazz dance in college and hopes to become a choreographer. Also, according to her team bio, Lindsey's favorite Eagles player is Chuck Bednarik, while her favorite Eagles moment was the Wilbert Montgomery touchdown run against Dallas in the 1981 NFC title game. That's good knowledge of team history, since the run occurred before she was born and Bednarik played his final game in 1962. In the warm-to-the-touch standard of Philadelphia cheer-babe land, Lindsey's team bio page contains video of her with her swimsuit top off. This is one of many reasons the Eagles cheerleaders' Web area begins with a warning of "mature content."

Sweet Play of the Divisional Round: On the flea-flicker touchdown by New Orleans that staked the Saints to a 28-14 lead, first two tight ends lined up left, then they shifted right, then one came in motion back left. It was first down, and all this movement by the tight ends sure looked like it was the setup for a power run, making the run-fake up the middle persuasive. After taking the handoff and flicking the ball back to Drew Brees, undrafted tailback Pierre Thomas threw a perfect block.

continued:
Sour Play of the Divisional Round: With Indianapolis leading 10-3 with seven seconds remaining in the first half, the Colts eschewed the field goal -- sportswriting is fun because you use words like "eschew" and "ensuing" -- and lined up on the Ravens' 3-yard line, out of timeouts. The play must, absolutely must, go to the end zone. Yet the Ravens' defensive backs lined up soft! Domonique Foxworth, who was covering Reggie Wayne, was backing off at the snap, retreating into the end zone, practically inviting Wayne to run a quick slant -- which he did, for a touchdown. If you know it has to be a super-quick action to the end zone, jam the receivers, don't back off! Talk about sour defense. The Ravens even took a timeout before the play to get set properly.

Sweet 'N' Sour Play of the Divisional Round: With Indianapolis leading 17-3 midway through the third quarter, Baltimore's Ed Reed timed a jump on the ball perfectly, cut in front of receiver Pierre Garcon, intercepted Peyton Manning and headed up the left sideline for a return deep into Colts territory. That was sweet.

Chasing the first-round draft pick Reed was Garcon from Division III Mount Union College, where a winner of the Ohioan Book Award will soon present the school's annual endowed lecture. Not only did a true son of Mount Union give all in chasing Reed. As noted by reader Scott St. Laurent of Enfield, Conn., though Reed was running along the left sideline, he had the ball in his right hand. Kids, the ball should always be in the same hand as the nearest sideline -- that protects the ball from most impacts. When Garcon caught Reed, the ball was exposed, and Garcon punched it out; Indianapolis recovered Reed's fumble, and Baltimore was done. Reed's failure to carry the ball in the correct hand was sour. (A few plays later, a Reed interception was negated by a pass interference penalty -- but the interception would not have occurred if a Baltimore defender had not grabbed the intended receiver, so Nevermores faithful should have no complaint here.)

Jersey/B at San Diego Analysis: The whole "mad scientist transfers victory essence to Jets" theory that led last week's TMQ -- maybe that really happened? Power defense and power running are the traditionalist formula in football, but in a pass-wacky year, suddenly the Jersey/B approach seems like an unorthodox innovation. You'd think no team could win in the modern NFL with a 31st-ranked passing attack, but Jersey/B has reached the AFC title game on the best winning streak of any team in the final four. Because in the single-elimination NFL format, each individual postseason game means so much, often the team that prevails at season's end is the one that enters the tournament on a rising note. And the Jets sure are on a rising note.

The Jersey/B running game works because the blocking is good, and because offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer -- who must have been pleased to beat the team that fired his father -- doesn't abandon the run if it does not work in the first quarter. Strong-rushing teams often start slowly, when the opposing defense is fresh, and then prevail in the second half as the defense tires -- that's exactly what happened versus San Diego. The Jets' offensive line has four first-round draft choices. Tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson -- a finalist for the upcoming Tuesday Morning Quarterback Non-Quarterback Non-Running Back NFL MVP -- absolutely pancaked a Chargers defensive end at the point of attack on the Shonn Greene 53-yard touchdown run that turned the contest New Jersey's way. When Rex Ryan went for it on fourth-and-1 with a minute to play -- Jersey/B gained the first down that iced the contest -- he was challenging his offensive line to win the game, and it did.

TMQ keeps predicting Ryan's constant-blitzing schemes will backfire. They sure did not at San Diego, where the Bolts seemed unprepared for overload blitzing -- there is practically a billboard above the Jets' sideline that reads "WE OVERLOAD BLITZ" -- six times, allowing a blitzer to come straight at Philip Rivers without being blocked by anyone. Normally, blitz-wacky teams have their corners play deep to prevent long gains -- the Jets use press corners when they blitz to prevent quick slants, the standard response to a blitz. Six-man rushes combined with press corners is a tactic no NFL team but the Jets employs, and the tactic works because Darrelle Revis (another TMQ MVP candidate) and Lito Sheppard are so good. Rivers' first interception was against an overload the Chargers failed to block. The second pick came when Jersey/B showed big-blitz and then backed out of it -- Ryan's defenses almost never back out of the blitz. Rivers assumed that a quick-curl route would be open because of the number of blitzers; instead the intended receiver was double-covered by safety Jim Leonhard, whom Rivers thought would be blitzing.

The Chargers seemed overconfident and ill-prepared, as if they thought all they needed to do was show up. The hosts dominated the first-half stats but led by only a touchdown at intermission -- a touchdown lead can disappear in one play -- yet seemed to think the game was already won. Rivers is now 3-4 in the postseason. Talk, talk, talk -- that Philip Rivers sure can talk.

Norv Turner was his usual timid self, and it hurt the Chargers dearly. Two years ago against New England in the AFC Championship Game, Turner's Chargers were trailing 21-12 with nine minutes remaining -- that's a two-score fourth-quarter deficit -- and Norv ordered a punt from the Patriots' 36-yard line. That was the worst Preposterous Punt yours truly has ever seen. With Sunday's game scoreless in the first half, San Diego faced fourth-and-4 on the Jets' 36 -- and Turner ordered a punt. San Diego was the heavy favorite, and in the first half things were going the home team's way. Don't mince around, knock 'em out! Instead, the Chargers minced around, which let the Jets hang around. Turner has now twice ordered punts from the opposition's 36-yard line in playoff games. You can't be surprised he lost both games.

Later, with San Diego leading 7-0, Turner ordered a punt on fourth-and-inches from midfield. Don't mince around, knock 'em out! With 4:42 left in the fourth quarter, and San Diego trailing 17-7, he ordered a field goal attempt on fourth-and-2 from the Jets' 22-yard line. Nate Kaeding is a good kicker -- it was a surprise when his attempt sailed wide. But you have one of the league's top offenses and you only need 2 yards. Don't play for 10 points to force overtime (which Turner was doing) -- play to win! That's what Ryan was doing.

Turner's onside kick decision at the end was puzzling as well. Pulling within 17-14 with 2:14 remaining, San Diego had one timeout left. Unexpected onside kicks are 60 percent successful, expected onside kicks are 10 percent successful. Had the Bolts kicked deep and then held the Jets, considering the clock stops at the two-minute warning, San Diego would have gotten the ball back with about a minute to play, trailing by three. You've got a better chance of getting into field goal range with one minute on the clock than of recovering an expected onside kick. True, if you recover the onside kick, you are in a position to win the game. But it's very unlikely you will recover an onside kick under these circumstances.

Thus, when Turner faced an attractive gamble (fourth-and-1, fourth-and-2), he was timid, and when he faced an unattractive gamble (expected onside kick) he went wild. Considering that gigantic Chargers coaching staff -- 17 coaches, including an assistant linebackers coach -- doesn't Norv have someone who knows the percentages of various football situations? Six seasons ago, the Chargers went 12-4, won a bye, then lost at home in the divisional round to the Jets. Marty Schottenheimer was fired in the aftermath. This season they went 13-3, won a bye, then lost at home in the divisional round to the Jets. The aftermath is a contract extension for Turner.

Sidelight: Mark Sanchez threw an interception, giving San Diego the ball, leading 7-3. On the first Bolts snap, a pass to Vincent Jackson advanced the ball to the Jersey/B 30-yard line, but Malcolm Floyd was called for an illegal block, moving the spot back to the 40-yard line. Two snaps later, Rivers tossed his first interception. During the penalized play, Floyd threw his hands up in the air in the "I didn't do anything" gesture. As TMQ cautions, football players should never make the hands-up gesture to officials -- it serves to alert the officials that you think you committed a foul.

Believe.

This may get my house burned and my kids tarred and feathered around here, but GO DOLTS!!!!

F you sir, F you!

F you sir, F you!

Classy.

Believe.


I Believe in Manning Magic.

I Believe that the Jets will crash & burn

I Believe that Reggie Wayne will score a TD on Revis.

I Believe that Dwight Freeney will make the Jets O-Line his personal bitch.

I Believe that Matt Stover may have fallen into a Super Bowl appearance.

I Believe that Rex Ryan may finally shut his F'n mouth.

I Believe that the Jets will go yet another year without a Super Bowl appearance.

I Believe that Mark Sanchize will play more like Dirty Sanchez.

I believe the Jets are in the AFC Championship game
I believe the 'Fins and Pats are not

Dark Days for Jets’ Rivals in A.F.C. East
By TONI MONKOVIC

While savoring unexpected success, Jets fans would never take pleasure in the troubles of their division brethren. O.K., maybe they might:

Jerry Sullivan of The Buffalo News said the Bills’ coaching search “confirmed that Buffalo is the worst job in the NFL. Yes, even worse than Oakland.”

Chan Gailey appears to be the selection. Sullivan wrote:

Really? Chan Gailey. It’s an uninspiring pick, and if my math is correct, about their eighth choice. But after seeing the Bills snubbed by football coaches from sea to shining sea, it’s a relief to know the search might finally come to an end, before the organization can embarrass itself further.

Dave Hyde of The Sun-Sentinel contemplated what a Jets Super Bowl appearance would mean for South Florida:

The only question left is whether the Jets go all the way and take over the Dolphins’ headquarters. The AFC team typically sets up camp there. But, whoever comes, this Super Bowl matchup has the chance to send local fans into therapy.

Christoper Gasper of The Boston Globe said Patriots fans had it worst, “a nightmare scenario in New England because either the Jets or the Colts are going to the Super Bowl. It’s unavoidable.”

Patriots fans H-A-T-E the J-E-T-S and they have nothing but contempt for the Colts as well. Is it possible for a Patriot fan to pull for Peyton Manning and Bill Polian, to root for Rex Ryan and Kerry Rhodes? Can the NFL just cancel this game?

Some Patriots fans aren’t taking it so hard. BrianC2 wrote in the comments section of Gasper’s blog post: “Are you kidding! This is perfect. First the Jets take out the Colts. This has been pre-ordained by the football gods, since the Colts disgracefully stained the great game by tanking against the Jets and allowing them into the dance to begin with. Then, the Saints trash the Jets in the SB, resulting in the ultimate humiliation of our arrogant, blowhard friends in NY. Proceed!”

The idea of the Jets in the Dolphins locker room is enough to make me sick.

1st my eyes have had to see the Yankees celebrate and defecate on the field at Shea Stadium. If in my lifetime I had to watch the Jets play a game from the Dolphins locker room.....that would simply be too much to handle.

The idea of the Jets in the Dolphins locker room is enough to make me sick.
I hadn't even thought of that till they mentioned it.

hehehehehe.

The Yankees defecated on the field at Shea? I must have missed that part of the ceremony.

They Celebrated = They Defecated.

Don't forget Clemens not having the guts to pitch at Shea but stealing dirt from the mound anyway. I'd agree with MD, it equals at least pissing on Shea.

Here is something we can all agree on: Fuck the Yankees.



Back to your regularly scheduled Jets Suck Discussion

Just for the heck of it, because I got an email from the Jets, I checked the price of a ticket to the game ($147 through the resell site which seemed reasonable to me) and the airfare to go with it. The airfare from Newark is over $400 till Tuesday, then it's under $300. It's like holiday pricing all over again.

Didn't even bother seeing what a room would cost. I figured it was a great way to knock Indiana off the lists of states I still haven't been to.

http://www.jetsshop.com/jets/images/D/03-015-l.jpg

OH NO!!!

Mark Sanchez is the cover of SI.

And the Saints also have a little corner with a pic of Bush.

This sucks.

http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/si_online/covers/images/2010/0125_large.jpg

Sometimes they have different covers in different regions; maybe in the midwest it's Manning?

Nah, last week it was the Cowboys on the cover.

And the big article in this issue is on Favre (many pages compared to one each for the other teams), but do you see his picture anywhere? These SI guys are so anxious for a Manning/Favre SB they are working the jinx.

Ooh! I gotta pick this issue up! Thanks for the headsup! :grin:

Yes, it is a nice pic of Sanchez, I understand why you want it Nanner.

According to nyjets.com:

SI Cover ... and Jinx?

For those who haven't heard, an exultant Sanchez is the cover dude on the front of this week's Sports Illustrated, which hit the newsstands (do they still make newsstands?) today. The last time the Jets were on what the SI people call a "team-centric cover" was in January of 1999, which was the last time they went to the AFC title tilt. I'll leave talk of the notorious SI cover jinx to all the superstitious among us.

:eek2:

Has Favre retired, comeback, retired, comeback, retired, comeback for 2010 yet?

No, but I think I heard him crying (didn't watch him, just heard a clip on the radio).

Well, it was a fun run for the Jets. Nice to see Sanchez hold his own and not throw an INT until it was meaningless anyway. The kid seemed to respond better than most of the other players to the pressure.

Glad that the Saints won, so glad. I couldn't have stomached two weeks of Manning and Favre love, it will be bad enough that Peyton gets shoved down our throats nonstop.

Congrats Saints.

I've been a Vikings fan for 48 years, and the team always finds a different way to break my heart.

:( So sad.

48 years of being a Vikings fan, and the team always finds a different way to break my heart.

See GB vs. Giants, two years ago. Killer INTs by Favre then too.

i think this video happened in many homes last night in Minnesota

:D :D :D

Home Sweet Home

two weeks of Manning this and Manning that. :eek:

I was more optimistic that the Jets would win than the Saints. I still can not believe the Saints won!!!

I am sorry Aprile and all the Jets fans. We had a houseful over here and we were all rooting for them. The second game was kind of split but I was hoping Favre would lose. I am just tired of him.

two weeks of Manning this and Manning that. :eek:

I was more optimistic that the Jets would win than the Saints. I still can not believe the Saints won!!!


I agree on the Manning thing. I dont want to see that clip of Peyton as a little kid again and again. As always its gonna be a long two weeks but anything is better than one more shot of Favre's family.

two weeks of Manning this and Manning that. :eek:

Not to mention the added dimension of Saints legend Archie being "torn" between "his" team and his son...the over-under on articles/features on that is probably around 10.

We're takng the kids to see Lion King that day; will probably get home just in time to see the halftime show.
