Jets Jolt the Bolts, Will Face the Colts

PrintThe Jets are going to the AFC Championship Game for the first time since the 1998 season. That makes a pair of road wins for this team with a rookie coach and a rookie quarterback.
I'm sure the Francesa's of the world will say San Diego lost this game, and the Jets didn't win it. That's part of the reason I felt confident going in. The Chargers have a glass jaw. The second the Jets made a big play, San Diego melted down. Their quarterback started screaming at the officials after they made a proper call in favor of the Jets. They made a bunch of stupid penalties. Their kicker who is shaky in big spots was shaky in big spots. The lack of composure showed why I think Norv Turner is a bad coach who got lucky to fall into a situation with so much talent. The Jets on the other hand were composed and executed. I'm not sure they are a better team, but they were the best team on the field today.
There were a number of stars in this game. We will touch on them when the official recap goes up late tonight.
No matter what the naysayers say, the Jets are one of the last four teams playing. They'll be big underdogs next week against the Colts, but what else is new? This team that has overcome so much adversity will take the field in Indianapolis next week with a chance to score the franchise's biggest win since another championship game against a heavily favored Colts team.
More later. Celebrate below.

Texans fans back...
Two down, one to go. It will be such sweet revenge when I see the Colts get smacked by the Jets…muhahahahahahaha my diabolical plan is going just as I had…umm planned…redundancy is COOL, you didn’t know?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the Colts, I just hate the coach that sat his starters in the first Colts-Jets game that eventually saw my Texans sitting at home in their recliners. I don’t really like the Jets, but damnit, I’m rooting on them until the minute the Super Bowl ends. Yes, that’s right. Not only do I want the Jets to beat the Colts, but I want them to be further chagrined by having to watch the team that they gave a free pass to in week 16 win the big one.
They gave up a chance at 16-0, they gave up the chance at immortality, and they gave up the chance to have the Texans stomp their monkey asses (not meant racially, just a general insult I throw around, please pardon if it offends) into the ground in the playoffs.
Congrats Jets! May we see you again next year in the playoffs for a chance at revenge!
John B and the rest of my Jets Family.

Great win today. I’m an eagles fan but I’m from Jersey so I’ve always had a soft spot for the JETS in my heart. I loved the Call by Rex Ryan to go for the win at the end, gutsy call. Anyway congratulations on the win and good luck against Peyton next week.

Glad you beat the Chargers

that is rediculous….being healthy is the most important thing going in the post season. The Colts EARNED the right to do whatever they wanted by winning 14 games and earning the # 1 spot. They deserve to be here as much as anybody

Sorry bro. U guys blew 16-0.
U spit in the face of history. Bad kharma.
Or not
they would have sat against the Bills anyway. No way your risking the health of your players, playing a full game in a blizzard. If it was bad “karma” the Colts would have lost last night

should be a good game at the Luke next week. Reggie was one of the few who didn’t get completely lost on Revis Island last time. He beat Revis a couple times and got overthrown . I don’t expect that next week, but we shall see. Until then enjoy the win. Cause next week, it’s back to work
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
Still, considering he's a 100 catch guy...
…he’ll likely get slowed down some.
Yeah
no doubt. I expect he will have a similar game next week as he did last night. Collie, Garcon and Clark will be Manning’s targets. And some Addai and Brown catching out of the backfield.

Seriously, I could see Revis on Wayne and a little more attention shifted to Dallas Clark...
Granted, Manning is so good that it may not be an issue. Nevertheless…
wasnt garcon sitting out the last game too? the colts are definitely a scary team, but we love our team and our chances
Garcon
was out with a hand contusion, but he’s fine. IDK if you watched last night, but the guy is scary fast

Collie
is a HUGE steal for the Colts. He stepped up BIG and no one expected it. The guy reminds me a lot of Brandon Stokely

Got mad respect for Collie, liked him in college, said he would do a job in the NFL and he has exceeded that. Will definitely need to watch him, but can worry about that tomorrow.

Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
it was close either way you look at it. i think the jets have already far proven they belong in the playoffs so it doesnt even matter anymore. now we get the chance to prove who’s better with both our teams coming hard the entire game.
No Doubt
it should be a great game. I’m a defensive guy so some good hard nosed D would make it that much better. Either way, whoever looses, that team has NOTHING to be ashamed of. Both teams have brought it all year and that will reflect on next season
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
Amen to that cf723, was proud of our team before today, even more so now, nobody will be ashamed. Like I was saying to the Chargers guys this week, under estimate us and you will pay for it, it’s going to be a physical game.

there’s a difference between expecting and knowing. It’s certainly possible the Jets will win next week at Indy, but I don’t expect them to. This Colts team won’t underestimate the Jets, the only way Indy loses is if they lose the turnover battle. I’m predicting a double digit win for the Colts :)

It should be an intresting game next week. Classic chess match between Manning and a Rex Ryan led defense.
If you guys dominate the ground game and pressure Peyton then you’ll win.
However, if the Colts stop the run and force a duel between Manning and Sanchez, then the Colts will win, no one can out duel him(well Marino did)

1 After seeing Revis make that ridicolous interception I know he should have been the defensive player of the year
2 Both teams have a repeat of history going into this game
Jets- Beat Colts in 1969 Superbowl and were underdogs
Colts- Won last superbowl in Miami, beat Ravens in divisional round in both 2006 and 2010, Charges 2006 14-2 were considered the hot team going in but lost in divisional round.

"Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring; besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. It's more democratic."
- CRASH DAVIS
Fuck all that.
My teams don’t win all that much, so when they do, I am throwing everything everybody said back in their faces. I know you are supposed to take the high road, but taking the low road once in a while just feels sooooooooooo good.
Btw, crackback I saw you posted basically the same thing in the discussion with the Charger fans about a half hour ago. After all the shit they talked about this nonsense and that nonsense all week, I couldn’t wait to throw that shit back at them. Sabermetrics work in baseball, a non-contact sport, but not in football, where heart, grit, determination all matter, where they don’t really matter in baseball. What those DVOA’s couldnt tell you is that you were about to get manned and punished by a team full of bad, bad men.
I understand those of you saying the win is all that matters, which is cool, but for me, I’m going to make these fools eat some crow. Only because they came in with the attitude that we never had a shot and they wouldn’t respect us. I bet they respect our ass now.
"Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring; besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. It's more democratic."

Funny how teams
coincidentally have off days against our defense every week. Whatever helps you sleep at night. It might be hard for you to sleep, because every time you close your eyes you will see Shonn Greene obliterate the fuck out of Eric Weddle, then gain separation on everybody chasing his ass into the end zone. Did you enjoy Shonn Greene’s L.T. celebration? Would you have preferred the electric slide?

again, I feel you,
and normally would agree, but these guys showed us no respect. You never saw me in here rubbing a win in somebody’s face, but these guys deserve it. They got punished by a team they didn’t respect. They had their chances early, they got yards that didn’t translate into points, they let us stick around, and we pounced. Just like we said, but nope, they didn’t want to hear it, they only wanted to talk about how DVOA said they would be up by 21 at halftime and would cruise.

He must have been secretly rooting for that unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to hurt them more so he wasn’t the only goat.
I remember the last time Kaeding missed a FG against us in the post season, next week Brien was given his marching orders, let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself

Brien was actually not a bad kicker until that night, I trusted him going in, just like I do Feely.

Props to Jet nation.....
I posted several times this past week that the Jets couldn’t match up with the Chargers weapons and would get beat. I give you guys credit – you played a great game in that you never gave up and took advantage of every S.D. mistake. As a bolt fan I have to tell you….watching Tomlinson get 1.2 yds every time he rushed the ball was painful. He is done and we need new blood in our backfield.
No sour grapes though….good win to you guys and good luck to you guys. See you all next year.
Appreciate that Willy.
Hopefully now you guys realise what we were talking about when we said our secondary was made up of more than one player. They all had great games today.
Best of luck in the future.

As much as I loved seeing us stuff the run, it is a little sad to see how quickly LT has declined. He was the best player in football two-three years ago, and is shot now.
LT was always a favourite of mine as well, just can’t make the cuts like he used to, shame.

Absolutely. We REALLY need to get after a new running back in the draft. We have become one dimensional. Everyone KNOWS we are throwing the ball. If we could get 60-70 yards on the ground per game it would open up play action alot more.
I always thought letting Turner go was a bad move, but he might never be the same after his injuries this year. Maybe you can get the kid from Stanford, him + Sproles would be a sweet 1 2 punch.
Gerhart would definitely be a nice pick-up IMO,

anything would be better than what we’ve got now. Ah well….“always next year”. LOL Always win/lose with class I say. Appreciate all of you guys chatting it up….well except nrmax88. :-) Good luck guys.
Whatchu talkin bout willis?
Except when the opposing fans are classless douchslobbers who came around talking a bunch of shit about how we would get ran off the field and we never had a chance and dvoa this and that. You arrogant fools can act like I’m the classless one, but you came in talking crazy shit and your boys got manhandled in the trenches.

The enthusiasm is great, but take a deep breath and walk around for the minute. Soak up the win now because, as a JETS fan, this feeling doesn’t come around all the time.
That's what I'm saying.
I know on paper we are supposed to lose next week and chances are we will, but I have confidence. We are going where the Chargers, a team with a foundation and years of experience together want to go, and we are doing it with a rookie HC and a rookie QB. Like crackback said, I never said shit to Bengals fans, I never rubbed a win in somebody’s face all year. But to these guys we had no chance, they said it all week, and then they got thrashed. I will enjoy this. I am so proud of this team and so amazingly pumped about their future regardless of how they finish this season. Imagine how good we can be if Sanchez ever becomes what we expected when we drafted him?

Not that I think he's a bust,
but if we have made it this far with Sanchez as a “liability”, imagine what we can do if he becomes the top 10 QB (conservative) we expect him to be.

Always liked LT too
but that’s what happens when you’re used as a 330 carry back in the first few years of your career.
Simply fall off a cliff after a few years. The fact that his decline hit right after Turner hit free agency was a bad break for the Chargers too.

I remember the talk about that when it happened as well, saying that these carries that he was handling well would come back at the end of his career to haunt him

Happens with most backs
who are used as workhorses early in their career. Larry Johnson and Shaun Alexander also come to mind.
Hell, Shaun Alexander and LT are great comps when it comes to precipitous drops in production. Alexander was the league MVP in 2005, and within 2 years, the wear and tear (plus injuries) had reduced him to a shell of himself.
LT was the league MVP in 2006. By 2008, he was rapidly declining as well. Hell, look at his game log this year. Only twice did he had average more than 4 yards a carry in a game. One of those games, he had 13 carries; the other he averaged exactly 4 yards a carry, against a sorry Chiefs team.
Chris Johnson is one of my favorites in the league today, and I can only hope he doesn’t follow LT and Alexander’s footsteps.

LJ was good for a year and half, where as LT carried a team for a good 6 years. When you are that good, you can’t possibly do it that long. He got them through River’s tough years and should be appreciated by all Bolt fans for that.
"and should be appreciated by all Bolt fans for that."
did I say anything different? I’m speaking of the present time. LT was incredible from 2001-2007. Of course Chargers fans have and will appreciate him.

No man, wasn’t arguing with you. Just pointing it out since I see alot of them pissed that he isn’t performing like he used to.
Ah, thanks for the clarification
and I agree with your sentiment.

HOPEFULLY I'M THE FIRST
Colts fan to congratulate you all for such an amazing win. I was here a few weeks ago running my mouth. I believed you guys were going to beat the Bengals, but in no way did I believe you guys would beat the Chargers. This week I spoke with my cousin who lives in San Diego and told him, “I’m not sure if I’m willing give this win to the Chargers.”
What an incredible win… against a team that I LOATHE TO THE Nth DEGREE!
Obviously I believe the Colts will win next week, but I want to wish you guys the best of luck!
GO COLTS
I cannot decide game MVP team effort
But canidates include:
Leonhard
Revis
T Jones
Greene
Harris
Feeley
Sanchez
T Rich
How had the best game ?
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Think Rhodes deserves to be on that list as well
I would go with Leonhard, he got the important pick, and he caused that fumble that was somehow over turned, as well as QB’ing the defence to one of their most impressive performances in years. He probably gets my vote

Greene had an excellent game
and the 53 yard scamper helped ice it.
But it’d be crazy to single out one guy as the MVP of the game. That was a complete team effort. Damned near everyone played a key role at one point or another.
by FloridaownsFSU on Jan 17, 2010 11:17 PM EST up reply actions
Agree 100%...
Teamwork with a capital T…Everyone left everything out there for the win! Wow, even if we had lost, I would have been proud of these guys!
Namath vs Unitas – the rematch is next week !
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
What a game. When Sanchez rolled out for that TD I didn’t see anyone open. I thought, “Forget it. He’s throwing it out of bounds.” Then all of a sudden Keller opens up in the endzone and boom. TD.
Unreal. Ready for the Colts.

Sorry to congratulate so late!
The Jets (and specialy the D) made a show that makes wow; wow; wow and once WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
You have earn my symphaty when we played. NOW YOU EARNED 100% RESPECT!!!!!!
I HAVE A TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS! THANK YOU JETS!!!!!
And as a Jags fan-please do an AFC South rival can just ask: DEFEAT ONCE AGAIN THE COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you could do that
I/we could mock all the US (and Hungarian) Indy fans: “At least we beat the Jets-at home…”
They deserve to be sunk. ANd you have al the tools-THE CBEST D right now; a power running game; a fantastic O-line; and a suproisingly confident QB who cak throw it if he need to=AFC Champs of 2009?

Congratulations, Jets fans...
Your team played smarter and more poised football than the Chargers did. In fact, you got a game out of us that we haven’t seen all year. Regardless of who had better records, or better stats, you guys were better than we were today. Enjoy your win. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must resume banging my head against the wall.
