Pregame Open Thread

PrintSince everybody's so pumped about the game, I'm putting this up for pregame chatter. Discuss whatever you'd like in there. Just keep it clean.
New England's win is bad news for those of you wishing Cincinnati will rest its starters. There's a decent chance the Bengals will have a shot at taking the field with the game being the difference between the 3 and 4 seed.
I'm not too upset, though. You may ask why. This gives the Jets a chance at really bruising Cincy for next week. A Jets win makes a rematch in the Wild Card round likely. I'd rather the Bengals not go in fresh. The Bengals playing their starters may make a Playoff spot a little less likely, but it makes a long stay in the Playoffs should the Jets get in more likely. Besides, if you can't beat a good team in your building with your season on the line, maybe you don't deserve to be in the big dance.
Discuss below. The official game thread will be up earlier than usual tonight.

We’ll have to play a Bengals team with something to play for next week anyway. Our season’s over if we’re not good enough to beat them either way.

Let them play their starters, let’s not put these guys on a pedestall, their good, but so are we. It all comes down to Sanchez, let’s hope he keeps his head and limits the turnovers. PUMPED!!!

Still think they wont play their A-team the full game...
Not much difference btw 3 and 4 seed. Why risk not being full strength regardless of who u play? And why risk playing your A-team and losing? No need for bad karma going into the post-season. There will be familiarity with whomever they play anyway.
We got this
This year will be the first the it isn’t the same old Jets. Ryan is goin all out we will win!
I used to like the Patriots and Dodgers, then my balls dropped
I think Sanchez will deliver.
He really has played well in big games. For example, the Rose Bowl, week 2 against the Pats, last week was win or go home and he managed the game very well. That being said it’s gonna be frigid tonight and he hasn’t fared well in cold weather.
It's time for Sanchise
To be come the Manchez. Just shut up the media and have a great game
Lets Go Jets! Playoffs baby!

Just about to leave for the game...
Can’t wait to get there! I think the Bengals playing their starters for a good portion is good for the Jets, let’s see what we’re really made of. It’s gonna make the environment in the stadium even more frantic and you know our defense is going to knock some heads around on what is going to be an absolutely freezing evening.
I would love nothing more than to see Revis pick off a pass right in front of Ocho’s face, especially if it’s to win the game and send us to the playoffs. Would be a picture perfect ending to a run in a stadium that has produced some fantastic memories over the years. Lets go Jets!
We will see how good Rex really is. This game tonight is all about coaching and seeing if Rex has his guys focused on the task at hand. They all said the right things during the week but let’s see if the intensity level is there. They had a must win against Atlanta and laid an egg. If they come out flat in this game then something needs to be said about Rex and his coaching staff!
So nervous for this game.
I think for all of us Jets fan the result of this game is going to stick for awhile.
Good luck from a Giants fan
hopefully you guys close out Giants Stadium better than the Giants did (I guess that’s a pretty low hurdle)

Already wrapped up the 3rd seed because of the Buffalo win!
Cin wil play some starters then sit em

Is that true? I thought if cincy won and NE lost then cincy would get 3rd seed
by chrebetsthebet on Jan 3, 2010 5:48 PM EST up reply actions
?
If Cinci wins they get the 3rd seed regardless. So I don’t think New England clinched the 3rd seed.
ESPN
reported that NE needed either a Win or Buf win. It doesn’t make sense to me but thats what they reported

john, matt, or david can you clear this up?
by chrebetsthebet on Jan 3, 2010 5:53 PM EST up reply actions
Pretty certain (around 90%) but still looking into this, that the Buffalo win over Indy didn’t effect the number 3 seed at all. Patriots still can lose the 3rd seeding spot, Cincy win puts then at 11-5 compared to the Patriots 10-6, so would be 3rd seed by single record alone.

Phil Simms
Who isn’t on ESPN on CBS (my bad) reported it during the ravens game seeing as i live on the west coast i don’t get any good games.
Phil Simms is wrong
Jets are gonna win regardless

Plus
Even if Buf won they wouldn’t clinch 3rd seed. It makes no logical sense and I think ESPN dropped the ball on that one like they always do

I don't know man
If Cinci wins (not happening) then they have a 11-5 record. Which is better then Pats who are 10-6.
So it’s not possible.

Apologies it was CBS Phil Simms who is wrong

Speaking of the Pats
Wes Welker was carted off the field…He got hit by the same guy…who hit brady in the knee.
(The hit on Welker was not a cheap shot, it was legal)
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!
Edelman did a good job replacing him though. I know he is no Wes Welker but he played damn close to it.

uh oh. JaMarcus Russel decides to show up.
this isn’t good to any team wishing the Ravens to lose.
Tom Cable shouldn’t have made the comment they would have been a Playoff team without Russell, but I think there’s more truth to it than a lot of people would believe.

I have the volume low so I’m not sure whether there’s an injury.
Maybe Oakland wanted to get Russell some experience, kind of the other side of the Colts argument. Is a team that’s out of it allowed to use some of its less developed younger players?

he moved his hands and such, so im assuming no news is good news?
i also wonder how much that fine is going to be? Over/Under $35,000?
He was unconscious for a few seconds, had a concussion and is doing better.

I’ll never understand why Miami used a second round pick on him, but he was always an exciting guy to watch at WVU.

If you think about it though, Pat White was being worked out as a WR at the combine, it made sense to take him, they probably didnt want to lose him to another team?
Not for a second round pick, though. That’s the kind of move you make as a luxury, not when you’re in the process of rebuilding and have big needs like Miami.
I love Brad Smith, but I’d never take him in the second round. That’s where you get impact players.

On the radio they said that he is feeling better.
Henne may have suffered from a mild concussion, in his presser he said that his vision was blurred and that he it wasnt getting any better after they told him to sit down for 5 minutes.

does anyone think that Cincy will lay down to the JETS if BAL and DEN lose?
that would bring the Steelers into the playoff picture if they beat the Jets.
There’s the JaMarcus we know and love.
