[Wild Card]: #6 New York Jets (11-5) @ #3 Indianapolis Colts (10-6)

[MrBill]

Congrats to the Jets, they definitely earned the game. They beat Peyton Manning at home on a night that he threw no picks and had a 108.6 QB rating. Too bad Peyton doesn't play defense or special teams.

 

[Juggernaut]

translation: The Jets are the 2nd most penalized team (amongst playoff teams) here's hoping they actually play disciplined today and don't try to cheat. Or here's hoping the refs just swallow their whistles and let NY break the rules all game.

 

[Juggernaut]

Aso and Dave tipping the Colts to win?

We're fucked now.

+1

I'll groan this post if Colts win or give it thanks if Jets win.

Give thanks when thanks are due.

This is the one game I keep going back-and-forth on, I say Jets by a field goal.

+1

Fuck this shit.

 

[Bear Pand]

Fuck Caldwell for calling that TO before the Jets last fg, challenging plays for no reason and doing a poor job overall this season.

Fuck the injury bug.

Fuck EmpireWF for being a fake Jets fan.

Fuck the special teams for always giving up big plays.

Fuck the defense.

Fuck Juggernaut for quoting my post for no reason.

Whatever I've been saying on here for a while that Indy wasn't that good this year. They were either gonna eat a loss this week or next. I got as angry as I was gonna get a couple months ago. Hopefully Indy learns from this going forward.

fuck you too buddy :smug:

Luckily, neither coach screwed the game up for their team and the refs called a good one. This was a game decided on the field, not too many times we can say that.

In the end, Cromartie had the big return and Edwards had the big catch. They took advantage of the inexperienced corners and it bit Indy.

I guess Blair White should get the brunt of resentment for not coming up with the potential 3rd down conversion. But Manning did what he's almost always done, needing a late drive.

gotta give the jets alot of credit for their defense. they shut the colts down. lucky for them the run game was enough to carry the offense cause sanchez was terrible. the way the jets offense played showed exactly how great their dee was.

For the record - if the Jets win next week, I will kill myself.

You said the same thing last year :shifty:

And I killed myself then, too.

Not hard to show up when the other team is playing 14th string players on D

Eh, i don't remember saying "LT showed up against a great team".. He showed up.. Never did that for San Diego (except for the loss to the Jets in 04). No need to get butt hurt

Always a need to get butthurt directly after a loss

Congrats Jets fans

I said earlier in this thread that our team would never win the superbowl this year but I wish we didn't go down like this

 

[Maynard]

getting your ass whipped >>> losing on the final play of the game

 

[StealthShot]

Sanchez drove us down the field again and got a GW score vs a beat up Colt team. But his shoulder needs to hold up the whole game next week, not just on the final drive.

 

[Point Blank]

Colts will destroy the Jets.

groaned

Colts by a lot.

groaned

winner!

:facepalm:

Can't say I'm too upset.

ups to Garcon for playing big when we needed him too.

Can't get to upset with Indianapolis in this one, I can't get upset at the 6th string corners and safeties inabilities to stop a superbowl MVP and Braylon Edwards, or the rookie linebackers having issues with a damn good tight end and one of the NFL's stronger rushing attacks.

Can't get upset with Blair White and Jacob Tammee not completely taking over the game because we know they just can't do that.

excited for the draft, Indy will be a lot better next year it's just the Injury bug hit us hard this year. it's just like 07 just a little worse and we came pretty close to making it out of the wildcard against a team that was stacked talent wise against us in the first place.

Truthfully, Indy will get a better draft pick than they've had in a while and I'm excited to see what Polian brings in next year.

FWIW - This team was NOT going into Pittsburgh and making a game of it, that defense is way to physical and I would have laughed watching this team try to block their front 7.

Also..

Wayne didn't show up today

I'll admit Revis is a good player, and I understand that even Revis was getting coverage help with Wayne, but Wayne isn't getting any younger, complained about his contract earlier this year, and in the biggest game of the year the guy barely made the stat sheet.

Indianapolis needs some offensive line help bad but I can really see Polian picking up some skill guys this draft because with so many guys on Indianapolis hitting free agency when the season is up there are some questions about Indianapolis Receiver and RB wise.

For you Colts guys though - How About Donald Brown not getting a snap the entire game?

Its either one of two things, Rhodes showed more in practice for the game plan they were trying to orchestrate. Or there is something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.

Well truthfully I'm lost dude.

After his game against Jacksonville Colts fans were singing high praises and thought their savior had finally arrived.

I've hated that pick since day one and everyone knows it, but I was surprised to see his role fall off towards the end of the season and in the most important game they didn't play him. You know Indianapolis is going to put the best team they can on the field, and they decided Brown wasn't a part of that team but a guy like Hughes is.

not trying to be negative about anyone here (especially Hughes because I didn't expect him to be a contributor this year anyway) but is this writing on the wall for Donald Brown?
