Open Thread: Jets at Colts

PrintAnother week, another Jets playoff road game. If only it could be the Green Bay Packers traveling for their 3rd consecutive road playoff game in Minneapolis today...
Back in reality, the Jets are at Indianapolis for a rematch of sorts. The Jets won at Indy on December 27, but the Colts sat their starters in the 2nd half. Football Outsiders expects a Colts victory, but I'm on the fence about it. Home field advantage and a generally poor play from QB Mark Sanchez all season should favor the Colts, but anything can happen during a game to make a prediction useless. Such as the time last week when the Chargers' All-Pro kicker missed 3 FG attempts last week to help the Jets advance into the championship game.
So what do you think? Are the Jets a team of destiny? Are the Jets just lucky and their luck ends today? Are the Colts just going to bring the hammer and play like the near 16-0 team they were during the regular season?

Wisconsin hosts Penn State in men’s basketball on the Big Ten Network. They just tipped off.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
We had it all wrong...
It looks like Favre IS going to exact revenge on his former team! We were thinking of the wrong team all along. Jets and Vikes in the Superbowl?
I’m leaning toward the Vikes winning game 2 and I’m leaning Jets in game 1.
I think the vikes have the more dominating line play and they will get to Brees faster and more often than the Saints get to Favre (though they did pressure Warner pretty well) 31-23
The Jets are playing Ravens-style shut down, slap down D… and I like that style! Jets 19-16
I'm gonna go with the home favorites on this one
The Jets D has been impressive in the past few weeks, but I think Manning can adjust to them effectively.

question?
When was the last time two number seeds went to the SB?
I have to admit, a Colts-Saints superbowl sounds great, but I’m thinking a Colts Vikes superbowl might have the most “soap opera” value, the dramatics. Didn’t Manning take a shot at Favre after the 2006 superbowl win?
Not a bad start
for the Jets… “Peytons on the Ground”?
Helluva catch there

"How was that pass so precise?"
Uhm, Nantz, have you heard that one about sticking a bunch of monkeys in a room with a typewriter… same thing with QBs making throws
NK
That throw was a duck that the WR ran to and was lucky/talented enough to snag in-bounds.

Nice shot
Of some guy in the crowd wearing his Jets Favre jersey

Crap.
Penn State is up on the Badgers by 8 at the half.

I gotta Feely
That this kick’s gonna be wide, wide right

Worst. Song. Ever.
If you were a friend of mine and in the same room as me, I would smack you upside the head.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
It wasn't even the worst song in 2009
I give you “Party in the USA”
But I had just finished reading about the Black Eyed Peas getting an award in France by mistake and then having it taken away while still on stage, so it was stuck in my head. Sorry ’bout that.

No justice in this world, huh?
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
No kidding.
Either one of those songs would qualify for worst song. I think I’ve tried to block out “Party in the USA” from my memory.

Can you link the article about the voided award?

Awesome.
Suck it, people whose music I can’t stand.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
Anybody notice CBS jinxed this drive?
Way to show the “Jets have 1 opening drive TD in last 11 games” graphic when they get near the red zone. And now they’re getting no points at all, thanks to Feely’s slice.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
Of course they did

well what do you know...
a jets missed tackle!
This is where the Jets...
…were able to hold the Chargers, Bengals….can they hold Manning?
In case he wakes up crying from a nightmare?

Third straight road game...
starting to show…
Still held them to a FG attempt
You have to call that a win for the Jets. Holding Indy to 3 points in the first quarter? Big time win.
Sweet!
Music I can tolerate, and even better, enjoy, at the halftime show! Unfortunately…two of the guys from The Who are dead.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
Isn't it sad that there is no worthwhile talent today that we have to show bands from the 70's and 80's for halftime shows?
The last “modern” artist to perform was 2004 with Jessica Simpson and Justin Timberlake.
Yes.
The only good music made nowadays is from artists that 99% of the population has never heard of. cough Dream Theater cough
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
It's exactly what they did last week
They wear down the defense and strike at the end of the game. The key for them is to keep the deficit manageable.
Right.
I remember when the Chargers got their first TD, I was thinking “floodgates”…but the rest was history
Pretty even on the TOP
Jets – 7:42
Colts – 7:18

it could easily be 10-3 jets right now
Braylan Edwards can be a game changer!
that's scary...
Braylan edwards, 6’5, one on one with a rookie 5-10 cornerback. Yikes…
E-Trade Baby
Version 1: Funny and original
Version 2: Lame and uninspired
Version 1
Being the talking baby in the FreeInternet.com commercials? That one got turned into a sitcom…
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Well, no, just the E-Trade version
Shankapotomus being the peak
So, funny maybe
But not really original, unless you count tacking on a “Webcam effect” to mask some of the CGI as “original”…
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
I meant original from the E-Trade perspective
IE:
Marketing Guy 1: Hey, the first baby got old, so that ad campaign is over with. We need something new.
Marketing Guy 2: We could always get another baby.
Marketing Guy 1: Genius!
what irony...
the only reason the jets made the P-offs is Colts resting their starters…and now the Jets are threatening their season…little lesson in all this.
I think a lot of people are cheering against the Colts solely for sitting their starters
At least, I am…
and just a few years ago,
everyone rooted against the Pats for doing just the opposite in the 16-0 season

Well, the diff between the two
Was the Pats running up the score relentlessly in several games.
What about the Vikings last week?
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
Pure class there
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance

Not my favorite move
See the team hosting the NFC Championship game what to do when you’re up by a large margin late in the game.
Didn't you see the look in the cowboys eyes? It may not have looked like it on tv but they were totally planning on getting 3 td's in 1:30 to win the game.
That TD pass on 4th down despite the ’Boys having no timeouts was definitely necessary to win that game… :/
TBD
I was musing on this
And the difference comes down to public perceptions of the fan-base and coach.
Baaaahstan fans are seen as loud and obnoxious, Indy fans are rarely seen. Nobody knows anything about the Colts’ head coach, while everyone thinks Belichick’s a DB. So when a team led by that amusing Peyton Manning fellow has a chance to save Larry Csonka some money on champagne purchases, it’s seen as a good thing.
When a team led by supermodel-banging Tom Brady and cheating Bill Belichick has a chance to do it, it’s seen as being something that may be worse than those insufferable ’72 Dolphin jerks.

Wayne..
makes Revis look like Jarrett Bush…nice whiff…
That's why he wasn't D-MVP.
Incredible cover skills, but he’s not anywhere near the tackler Chuck is.

So close
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance

Odd play
Colts should have tried Addai outside, Wayne in the corner, before a sneak.
by Brandon on Jan 24, 2010 3:02 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Agreed.
I was also thinking a fade to Clark in the back corner.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
before every play...
dI look at the top of my screen and see that Braylan is one on one with that rookie…I would throw there more!
Big-play Jets
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
I'm surprised he didn't.
He was a good QB at Missouri

if you are a vikes or saints fan...
…are you licking your chops?
Discussing Sanchez's "unbelievably large hands"
If I hear them also referred to as “strong” and “soft”, I’m gonna quit asking questions…
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
You watch...
if Sanchez throws a nice screen later, Simms will say “he has such a soft touch”
Maybe I'm a cynic.
But watching the playoffs doesn’t make me think the Jets are underrated spoilers as much as the AFC sucks.
by Zorakathura on Jan 24, 2010 3:11 PM CST via mobile reply actions
like I said...
vikes and saints are licking their chops!
You could've made the same argument for the Cards and the NFC last year
The Jets do have the #1 defense, so it’s not like they’re completely coming out of nowhere.
It's more about their offense.
They are not winning games 6-0. How bad are these other defenses? I mean the Jets offense isn’t very good.
by Zorakathura on Jan 24, 2010 3:32 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Their passing offense? No
Their running offense? Good enough.
+1 and you're no cynic
Completely agree. The AFC is awful this season.
Lotta time left
And only up by one score…

Guys, I'm calling Dagger...
The Jets Defense is too good…they score here, it’s DAgger baby!
well...
…going backwards…might as well punt & pin.
haha ...2 minute offense...
…faces number pass defense…should be fun
Badger update
PSU was up by 15 with ten minutes to go…Badgers made a 9-2 run at the end to tie it and send it to OT. Jordan Taylor just went off with a 3-ball and steal+layup, 67-60 Badgers with 3:24 left in OT

Badgers hold on
Hughes and Taylor pull away in OT, Wisconsin wins 79-71. Bohannon got his 1,000th point on a free throw in overtime.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
All I have to say...
the Saints Vikes game is this year’s Superbowl
So Favre retired from the Jets because they AREN'T Super Bowl contenders?
Good call there Brett.
Go Pack!
It would be awesome if they got Andres Cantor

I thought it was 4 down territory
Run it on 3rd, then see what you need to do
These upstart Jets
Don’t appear to be going away

told you guys Colts would win...
hides Dagger
Jets MUST respond...
no more missed Field goals…they have to drive down the field, , eat clock, and Colts get the ball again late 3rd, or early 4th quarter
Steerike!
And gave it the Donald Driver first down point!
Did he get the hip-shake in?

Phil?
“still a successful drive for the Jets”?
Phil's blood sugar is running a little low
He’s stuffing his face with a cream filled long john during the commercial
Great use of the telestrator.
Way to draw the wrong blitz.
"Career highlights? I had two. I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets." - Bob Uecker
That's why you are wrong Phil...
INdy has scored twice in a row and the Jets didn’t answer
I want that punter...
I say that whenever I watch any other team play.
McAfee is awesome.

wow...
back to back 3rd and long conversions!
I'm pretty sure the Greene TD last week was on 1st down
The Jets only chance at winning this game is to keep Manning off the field. That, and scoring more points than the Colts…
No DPI for obstruction on that one?
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
That's my guess as well
I don’t know if anyone had a shot at that one
It didn't look like it overflew them by that much
And the DB looked like he looked back and held up with the WR on his hip.

Dagger?
Not sure the Jets’ offense has 10 points in them
21 unanswered points....and...
There. Is. Your. Dagger!
That might do it.
Looks like the Jets D is fading fast as well, this might get ugly.
by Zorakathura on Jan 24, 2010 4:38 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Finally I get my wish...
Jets will pass on 1st down now. But now Indy will be ready for it
get ready of 2 weeks...
of a Manning love fest…Manning’s face every day for two weeks. Yay.
All the more reason the Saints have to win
Two weeks of Manning and Favre coverage might actually cause me to boycott the Superbowl entirely. At least I would have to watch it muted.
Let me give you a preview
Favre, Favre, Favre, Deanna, Saints, Caliendo doing Madden worshiping Favre, and Favre.

I know the Jets are a running team
…but they scored ona suprise pass and on a surpirse trick plays….But everything was so vanilla and preditbale since then.
Game over
