Jets did not win it, Chargers lost it, Colts gona beat up Jets

[Mr Handicapable]

Lets look at the Week 16 game! The Jets got a KO return TD and was still down by 5 against a Colts team that sat 3-4 defensive starters and Pierre Garcon (only real deep speed)! I respect the hell out of what the Jets are doing but this is a passing league and the NFL wants to keep it that way! I think you'll see atleast 1-2 defensive holding calls on Rivas and atleast 1 pass interference that results in a big gain for Indy! 24-13 Indy!!

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

I thought you were referring specifically to last week's game, and the Ravens were terrible. It is very easy for any offense to play better than the Baltimore offense did last week.

I'm saying that the Ravens were a very good defense too, and that the Ravens were a bit more capable offensively than the Jets were this season. look what the Colts did to them


you have to go with the hottest team. Right now the Colts are HOT on offense and HOT on defense...really HOT on defense.


where are the jets gonna score points? I think the Jets gravy train might be over

No it was in SF that year....they did crush the Jim Harbaugh/Neal Anderson Bears in the 1988 NFC Championship as well in Chicago!

I just checked and the game I was thinking of was 1989. (I knew I wasn't totally senile).

Yes, you are talking about 23-0 in 1984, but weren't the Niners fairly large favorites in that game? Result wasn't too surprising.

[Mr Handicapable]

Speaking of red-hot longshots...how bout the 95 Colts w/Harbaugh! Went on just as an unlikely run as this Jets team...in fact they won in KC off of a missed FG too! This Colts team is just too professional and too experienced to overlook the Jets!

[Mr Handicapable]

88 season played in Jan. 89...ok!! Same playoff year as the Fog Bowl w/Philly...lol! I would think the 84 49ers were favored by less than 10 because the Bears had the #1 defense & Walter Payton? Similar type of matchup though!

And then the Colts almost knocked of the Steelers (I think) in the AFC Championship Game, as a game ending Hail Mary was almost caught in the end zone.

But what makes this Jets team different than other Cinderellas is that the Jets led the NFL in defense, which actually SHOULD remove the Cinderella tag. People are just too enamored with flashy offenses, and when a team that plays good old fashioned football like the Jets has any success, they consider it surpising.

Yes I made my post before reading yours, so I wasn't being a smart ass. I know 89 game was 1988 season.

goodnight jets, your season ends in indy

jets season ends in indy on sunday afternoon. all this other crap you guys are saying is just noise. they suck offensively. defense is great, but this jets defense is not as good as the ravens 2000 defense so their putred offense is not gona get it done in indy.

Agree that the players are not as good, but it is the exact same scheme (Rex Ryan) and the Jets are running it to perfection just about.

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

you still lost money on the game. like it or not you'll get it over it

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

ravens 2000 and jets defense 2009 overall was about the same in yards. Ravens were better at shutting down the run, jets better shutting down the pass. I think they are better served in this years playoffs shutting down the pass

[The General]

I will take the best defense in football over the best quarterback in football any day. The two cliches, "Defense Wins Championships" and "Goof defense will stop good offense" are both very true.

LT, I think the overlooked factor here is that Indy's defense is pretty good itself. That is overlooked and Indy doesn't or hasn't given up Big plays this season at all. The Colt defense is very good and then you have a great QB and offense to to top that. No one knows what will happpen in an NFL game, but the Colts are pretty solid in all aspects so far this season.

[hoopster42]

General hit it on the head. indy D is overlooked and its because peyton is their qb. anyone on peyton's team is overlooked. this indy D is way better and more physical than past indy D's. they're gona shut down the jets sorry ass offense. this week, sanchez will have to pass and good luck w/that

[The General]

I think San Diego ran into that

Looking Ahead Scenario

thinking they would beat NY easily and be headed to Indy this week.

No doubt, I do have high regard to Colts defense. But at the same time, I would not be surprised if Jets held Colts to around 20 points here. In what is expected to be a low scoring game, I think getting more than a touchdown has value.

Agreed, I would not lay 7 or 7½ no way.

I'm still in shock that they're in the AFC Championship game Crazy stuff. Props to the Jets.

rex was defensive line coach on that 2000 ravens team. the DC was marvin lewis

[Pride>UFC]

And I remember that game well, it was a bitterly cold day in Chicago (in January?.....go figure) and yet the 49ers closed as around a 2-point favorite.

saints r good

24th ranked run defense. Jets rely heavily on the run. Bad matchup for Indy.

Overlooked? Maybe they should be. Jets have the perfect scheme to beat Indy.

[paco]

game was not played on paper and stats, it was played on the field and with heart. Jets prevailed, Chargers choked. Whats new?

[LT Profits]

Yes but Rex brought same defense to Jets. He knew the intricacies of the defense as well as Lewis did....he had to.

[terpkeg]

Some consideration should be given to fact that Jets are 7-3 straight up on the road. I dont care about injuries, starters, schedule, etc. 7-3 road record is impressive in NFL.

Ill take +7.5.

[trotwoodrose]

all pro SD kicker misses 3 kicks for first time in his career.

Not to mention the PASS Rivers made to the Jets puting the Jets on the SD 22 yard line from the red zone at the start of the second half. There wasnt a blue jersey in sight. Some say Rivers over threw the ball, I say he threw the game.

[manning2010]

Teams arent even close.

Ravens won how many games that year 12 or 13. Lights out in the playoffs, 0 offensive TDs in 3 games including Super Bowl.


Jets a nice little team that is going to be overmatched by best QB in history of NFL

And that is the exact reason they have a chance here.

[Moonpie0954]

Jets +7.5 on it all day

[hoopster42]

people, the jets were 7-7 and their HC even said "we need too much help to make the playoffs" or something like that

they needed the colts to take out all their starters w/5 mins left to go in the 3rd quarter in a 15-10 colts lead gm and then the next wk cincy had absolutely nothin to play for and laid down

re-fukking-lax everyone, the jets are done this sunday, the slipper will break and the jets will turn into what they really are, nothing

(they played in what turned out to be only an okay division w/pats, bills, dolphins). the jets are not shit

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

all that matters for those that play the spread. Is that the Jets were able to stay within 8 points in 16 out of 18 games. 1 of the games they lost by more than 8, as NO, a very talented team.

that team scored 1 offensive TD and had 2 miraculous Defensive TD's to help cover that #. whine, bitch, moan all you want about the past. but if you are serious about capping Sunday's game.


tell me how many games the Colts won by 4 or less, and tell me how many games the Jets lost by 8 or more. before you say anything else, just start your post with those two numbers

all that matters is that the line opened 7 by the books who are much richer than we are, now it's 7.5

the prior 18 gms results have nothing to do w/this one because the only 2 opponents as good as indy were @ saints and @ pats and they lost both gms by double-digits

[WhatAboutMeBitch]

Colts aren't a team that beats teams by much

Jets aren't a team that will lose by much


that's all that matters
