Really bad throw by Brady. Very uncharacteristic. Nice job by whoever that was that ran down Cromartie to save the touchdown. ---

Ohhhhh boyohboyohboy… Well, we got the NFC championship match everyone wants. Depending on your alliance this could be either the best win or most painful loss ever. As a Packers fan I’m curious: Would Bears fans be more excited with a win against GB or more depressed with a loss to GB? (Put it another way, this is a high risk/high reward game for the fans, does reward outweigh risk?) ---

This is the happiest I’ve been since becoming a Jets fan about 15 years ago. I shall savor it. I know it may not last long. ---

I liked the karma of Deion Branch mouthing off to the Jets bench and a few plays later dropping the pass on 4th down. Hee hee. ---
