The song that the talking heads and sportswriters were singing prior to this year's startup was that they were heavily favored to take the Super Bowl this year. Same thing last year.
Like I mentioned earlier, that's my rub. I think they're playing right at a level where they should be, and probably winning at a higher percentage than they should be. I don't think the club is all that incredibly stacked or super talented. A couple key injuries and a couple bad bounces and they're a 6 or 7 win club. I do have to concede that they took away some games that looked lost. I should probably give them more credit for that.
I'm really starting to fear that The Dirty is more likely to wash out than become a marquee quarterback. That's a bummer for me, cause I like the kid.
I suppose I'm just jealous cause of all the press they got that I felt was
misplaced.

I tell ya what, if they so much as put up a fight against Brady next week, I'll eat my words.

Nice game Jets.

TheRiddick · 01-17-2011, 12:43 AM

That prevent defense at the end was a concern. Special teams did great despite Brad Smith's absence, I hope he plays next week. Good game plan by Ryan and staff, the look on Belichik's face as he left the field was priceless, maybe now he'll realize that taunting the opposition in a blow-out game is not a good idea...

I'm pretty sure he doesn't gives a $hit. Maybe when the Jets get to the Super Bowl more than once in the last 40 years (and maybe win one) he'll start to care. Until then I'm sure he'll just write it off as a "fluke" or a bad game by his club...

In case you haven't figured it out yet, there isn't much that bothers Belichik...

Seems "a fluke" follows good ole Bill in the NY area. Heck, wasn't it a fluke that ruined his perfect season at the hands of my Giants?
Best record in football, number one seed, foiled again by NY.

You remind me of me. I'm a lifelong Bills fan, and even when they were doing well (which seems like eons ago), I was always full of the 'Yeah, buts'

YOUR TEAM WON, DUDE! They just beat the number one seed in the AFC on the road; a team that had the best record in football this year, and a team that was double digit favorites to win as well as the odds on favorite to take the Super Bowl. Today is not a day for "Yeah buts". Today is a day to rejoice in your team. You should be printing out pictures of Rex Ryan, Santonio Holmes, Shaun Ellis and (God forbid) Mark Sanchez, laying them on your bed and rolling around naked on them while you giggle like a school girl who's just had her first kiss. Relish this moment. There are fans of 29 other teams who would gladly trade places with you right now.

I hate the prevent defense. I wish there was a way to make it illegal. Or at least punishable by severe beating.

VTDragon · 01-17-2011, 11:59 AM

Congrats to the Jets and all their fans. I never thought Ryan's boys could pull it off but you beat the Pats in every phase of the game. No excuses, no ifs, ands or buts, the Pats just got beat.
The only good thing I can see about it is it intensifies this rivalry even more. Just like when the Sox finally won in 04 thus making the Sox /Yankee rivalry legitimate, (both sides need to have won before a rivalry can be considered real from both perspectives), this win makes what had been a rivalry based upon personalities and personnel movement between the franchises absolutely real to the players on both teams for a long time to come.

Vin,

Not sure how you read all that into my post above... Am I happy and glad? Absolutely! Not that they need to win 2 more games, still, before I can really celebrate (and I'll be in NY for the next 6 weeks, I hope they win it all!).

massphatness · 01-17-2011, 01:06 PM

I'm psychic like that.

You mean the same Giants that haven't made the playoffs for the last 2 years?

Yup.
Same one.
However, still leaving that dream of ruining the perfect season as NE is still living the nightmare.

BTW, if shots are in order, I prefer to be the wild card and beat an undefeated team In the Super Bowl or end up 10-6, just missing the playoffs as happened this year, to a team with same record than once again, be the best team in football and choke, yet once again, to yet another NY team.

One can only hope that the same team that beat the Pats shows up against the Steelers... I, for one, am quite excited for Sunday!!!

They did show up against Steelers once this season already, didn't they? As the game went this past Sunday I kept thinking that maybe, just maybe Ryan deliberately "tanked" the 45-3 game to set NE up... Naaah, can't be, it would be too good to be true...

So you're saying you'd rather not make the play-offs at all rather than lose in the 2nd round (after a bye)??

Seems an odd way to root for your team..

The former NY'r in me says GO JETS!

elderboy02 · 01-23-2011, 05:35 PM

I am rooting for the Jets tonight because I cannot stand the dirty Steelers. Go Jets!!!!

Blueface · 01-23-2011, 05:52 PM

Why if they won the toss, they gave the Steelers the ball to start the game?

They wanted to show off their defense for 27 minutes.
