[PLAYOFFS] AFC Conference Championship: New York @ Indianapolis

[Archer]

so ? whats Jets injury report ?

Three Jets missed practice: defensive end Shaun Ellis (hand/knee), running back Thomas Jones (not injury related) and running back Tony Richardson (rib).

That was released by the Colts so they obviously went into more detail about our players

You know, not for nothing, but after watching last weeks Jet Chargers game.. who the hell is to say that the Jets had a 0% chance of beating the Colts week 16 had they left their starters in the whole time?

It's not like the Colts had some 28 point halftime lead that was squandered after bringing in their practice squad to conclude the game.

Not sure what the Chargers game has to do with the Colts but I don't think anyone should be saying we had that game in the bag . Many people however, saw that the Jets score 3 points [7 special team points] on our D which was missing four bigtime starters . They could hardly even get over half way v that D which was without Mathis , Session , Powers and then on O Manning was starting to move the ball in the third without Garcon and his starting Left Tackle . It's unsure who would have won if we kept them in but most people think the momentum of the game was swinging well in favor of the Colts

Anyways, I don't think anybody should be bringing up that game now anyways . I know the media will try and make something out of it but it's not even the same two teams really . The Colts were missing 6 starters [who will all play this Sunday], the Jets are nowhere near the same team and nobody will be pulling guys in the third qtr . I fully expect a close game

 

[Bear Pand]

Yeah exactly colts were missing 4 defensive starters, and 2 on offense.

Jets offense looked like absolute ass and that hasn't changed. They struggle to score unless they somehow get excellent field position. They try their hardest to hide Mark Sanchez and they play scared on 3rd down because of it.

The Colts should win this and they're easily the better team. It probably won't be a blowout since the Jets will try to run the clock out from the start. Nothing is guaranteed though, but it'd take them turning the ball over or missing a ton of field goals like Cincy or San Diego did.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I like how Freeney put it, to paraphrase: "That was week 16, this is the AFC championship....its irrelevant."

 

[Esjay]

Indy by 7. I just don't see Peyton allowing us to lose.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

I think Jets win. Great running game and defense is the formula for success.

That's what Baltimore said

 

[Bear Pand]

I think it's pretty much a wash between the Ravens and Jets.

 

[ultfrisbee]

I think Colts win. Peyton Manning is the formula for success.

There you go.

 

[Archer]

sept i think Jets Secondary is better than Baltimore

Sept I think the Ravens have a better D-line and edge rusher than the Jets [Ngata,Pryce,Edwards and then Suggs from OLB] . Both are fantastic Ds with different strenghts my friend

RB-Edgerrin James, Medal of Honor Recipient Sammy Davis Named Co-Captains
Former Colts running back Edgerrin James and former United States Army soldier and Medal of Honor recipient Sammy Davis will serve as honorary co-captains for the Colts for this Sunday’s AFC Championship Game against the New York Jets. James, the fourth overall pick by the Colts in the 1999 NFL Draft and the franchise’s all-time leading rusher, totaled 9,226 yards and 64 touchdowns rushing in his seven years with the club. James, a four-time Pro Bowler, led the league in rushing his first two seasons in the NFL. He set a club rookie rushing record with 1,553 yards as a rookie in 1999, and set the club rushing mark with 1,709 yards in 2000. James, who played with Arizona from 2006-08 and with Seattle in 2009, has 12,246 rushing yards, 11th in NFL history.
Sammy Davis, a native of Dayton, Ohio, joined the United States Army from Indianapolis. In November, 1967, Davis was an artillery cannoneer private with the 9th infantry division assigned to South Vietnam. For his service and courageous efforts in Vietnam, Davis was awarded the Medal of Honor—America’s highest award for military valor—by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. Davis is the only Vietnam era Medal of Honor recipient from Indiana. He also received a Silver Star and Purple Heart.

The Jets most certainly have a better Defense then the Ravens. They're similar in scheme and attitude, but the Jets have the much better secondary, and better Linebackers. The only thing Baltimore has on us is their D-Line, I still think we have the better Front 7 though. We also run the ball better then Baltimore. Baltimore has a great 1-2 punch in Rice/McGahee but Shonn Greene has the freshest legs of any RB left and Thomas Jones is a fantastic spell back, our O-Line is also superior.

We match up worse with Indy, but I feel like we can still win.

 

[Juggernaut]

Rooting for the Jets baby!

But tbh, i would not mind seeing Peyton play in the SB. Dude is amazing.

No doubting anything you said . Just pointing out that teams have came with the same mentality and lost recently . People keep screaming about running the ball and playing D ... it failed the Ravens and it could well fail the Jets on Sunday

Ahh yes, the AFC Championship game. The game to see who gets torched by the NFC in the Superbowl.

Of course . Who could stop Favre or Drew Brees [and god]? After all, the Saints are the team of destiny and the Vikes do have the G.O.A.T at quarterback.

 

[citizenerased]

Hope kids in Haiti like the Jets, because they are about to get a whole lot of gear coming their way...

 

[StealthShot]

Where is the damn poll?

Agreed. We have a similar attack to Baltimore on Offense and Defense, just think we execute better on both sides of the ball.
