Anybody willing to pick the 747’s over the Ponies?
I’ll do it. What the hell.
I can’t see it. There would be some poetic justice in it (as someone mentioned up-thread), but they won’t pull Peyton out of this one, and Mark Sanchez would be hopelessly out-classed.
Colts fan here, they’re facing a team that can run the ball and has a good pass defense. I think the Colts can win and all, but this one will be close, I figure.
The Jets have a good defense. This is the first time I’ve realy watched them play. Have the Jets been this good defensively all year, or was this just a good game?
It’s still really hard to pick them to go into Indy and upset the Colts, but with really good defense and a couple of bounces? Who knows. They’re starting to have a bit of an air of destiny about them. For some reason, I just don’t feel like the Colts really do.
J-E-T-S.
Gee, I wonder if there is ANY precedence in NFL history for the Jets upsetting the Colts in a big game? Huh? Huh?
Tough room.
Jets lost to the damn Bills at home, giving me my first strike in Survival. Now they bump my Chargers in San Diego?
J!
E!
T!
S!
Jets!
Jets!
JETS!
My first NFL game ever attended was the Jets’ 37-0 blowout of the Bengals (it was unbelievably cold, by the way, but oh so worth it). Last game ever at Giants stadium. My voice was pretty hoarse at work the next day. We didn’t do much sitting.
This has been a very fun last few weeks, whatever happens next weekend. Though I’d be happy with the Vikings too, as I have always liked Favre (grew up a Bears fan in a Chicago suburb, but have a soft spot for him).
I can’t believe the Jets beat the Bolts. Now I’m going to have to root for them to go all the way, hopefully lending some small amount of credence to the pitiful performance my Bengals put up against them.
But man I hate the Ryan clan. All of them are d-bags.
What the hell, I’m going to pick Purple Vs Green in the Superbowl. Then Purple wins in a blowout.
Boats over Airplanes!
I thought Chilly burned the boats.
Huh? OOOHHH, the “Love Boat” incident… I was just thinking Vikings ships.
When Brad Childress firt got hired, in his first press conference he gave a little speech talking about how the Vikings of yore would burn their boats when they invaded a new shoree, so that there was no going back. He said, “We’re going to be like the Vikings. We’re going to burn our boats and never look back. Today we’re going ashore.”
I admit that’s a pretty obscure reference (and it probably shows that I need to get a life. How pathetic is it that I remember lines from a head coach’s press conference in 2006?). It did come right after the Loveboat scandal, and was am allusion to that, and a statement that he was going to clean up the behavioral and image problems that the Vikings were having at the time (which he has more or less succeeded at).
Interesting fact:
Opposing kickers are now 0-5 on FGs against the Jets in the playoffs this year.
The Jets are using witchcraft!
THAT craft!
Two. You really can’t count the desperation 57 yard try at the end of the first half as a legitimate attempt.
That was pretty reprsentative. The Jets defense is really, really good.
