Having the best defense in the league is not luck. Neither is having the best rushing offense.
If Sanchez has to win the game there might be trouble. But the Bad Kitty Bengals are weak and will go down bad. Has a team ever been shut out twice in one season?

How true. It’s amazing what the media tries to do when a New York team makes the playoffs.

Breaking news in the New York Post… Rex Ryan ate another cheeseburger. Sorry, you asked for it.

I really love all the comments about how the Colts and Bengals didn’t try. Don’t you realize how stupid you sound and how that would only mean something if they actually won the game? The fact that they got blown out in both while sitting 3 or 4 players doesn’t bode well for either of them in the next two weeks. (And it will be the Jets playing them in the next two weeks)

Wow, seems to be a lot of Pats fans out there posting. Nervous about losing Welker and don’t think that Tom’s delicately styled hair will be enough to advance this year?
Hold out hope that the NFL will come up with yet another rule to help out Brady and the Pats.

GO Brad Smith and their gadget plays! I think it’d be awesome if their success in the playoffs was due to their older version of the wildcat. It’s also a bit amusing seeing all of the surprise of the Jets success–with the amount that they have been Snyderin’ free agency, success shouldn’t be such a surprise.

How are the Jets all of a sudden a ‘dangerous’ team? They barely made it in as a wildcard. They got extremely lucky.

madsqgrdn,
The Jets beat the Texans the 1st game of the season and the Titans the 3rd with Kerry Collins at the helm. You are crazy if you think those teams are even close to the same teams now……
I’m just saying the NFL is no longer a run-the-ball and play good defense, league anymore!! Those formulas are still great to have but if you have crappy QB play, you are in trouble. Sorry but I think teams with average defenses, average running games, and an above average qb will be more threatening to the elite teams than the Jets who have a good running game, good D, and probably one of the worst qbs in the league…

Cincy vs. Jets will be the most boring game ever.
Whats the over/under on a quarterback throwing over 100 yards in this game?

Its about focus. The Bengals were not focused last night and the Jets were. Rest assured the Bengals will show them why we are the AFCN champs come Saturday.

Green Bay in the NFC and Baltimore in the AFC are the two most dangerous teams coming out of this round of the NFL playoffs…

Hmm… let’s see. They’re in the playoffs. They have a good-to-great defense. They run the ball extremely well.
Yeah, you’re all correct… they have no chance.

I agree … the Jets will be real dangerous – as long as the teams they play are sitting half of their starters or at least some of their key players.
LOL.”
This.
The Jets lost to the Dolphins twice, remember. They appear great when the team they plays doesn’t try, play all their starters, or has thrown in the towel.
Too bad the playoffs won’t be as easy as the last two weeks. Gameplan against their run, and they will be forced to throw, which will expose Sanchez. He doesn’t throw picks when he doesn’t have to throw, which has happened the last two weeks.

bornman3 — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:26:40 +0000

Any coach with half a brain will drum up a game plan to beat the Jets. Step one, max protect on pass downs to stop the Ryan blitzes. Step two, eight to nine men in the box on defense and let Dirty Sanchize try to beat you.
If Cincy decides not to do this, they will probably lose. But they won’t.

how does a team expose themselves when all they do is run in between the tackles and occasionally run an option. there are no tricks about it. you get blocked too bad. if you are out defending an option guess what you cant do it by yourself. its all about execution, whether you know the play is coming or not doesnt mean you will stop it.
i also find it pathetic how people put down a team that took advantage of the opportunities they had. who cares how you make the playoffs as long as you do nobody can say a word about it. whether you back in or get airlifted into the playoffs you have a shot at a super bowl win. and everyone knows any given sunday in the nfl. so stop hating and enjoy some playoff football because now everyone who is complaining about these teams look like pathetic little bitches. its better to be lucky than good.

Jimmy Smith says:
The Jets are easily the luckiest team in the playoffs given that the colts and bungles both laid down for the Jets which needed to win those two games to get in. Ask Houston how they feel about that?
_____________________________________
Seriously? The Texans made the playoffs because the Patriots absolutely laid down in the 4th quarter and let Houston finish their comeback against the subs.
If the Texans wanted to make the playoffs, they shouldn’t have gotten thumped by the Jets and thus lost the tiebreaker.

I would be the happiest man in the world if the Jets could beat the Bengals and Colts, if for nothing else but to shut up all the haters. I don’t even care if we go to the Super Bowl. With a rookie quarterback, nobody expected that. But with a big defense and a great running game, saying we don’t have a chance to beat anybody is ludicrous. Chances are, we won’t have enough offense to get past the 2nd round, but stranger things have happened.

Well that’s to bad because it won’t happen,to bad your team wasn’t able to beat the Colts then you wouldn’t have to try and live through another team.

Your opinion would make a lot more sense had the Jets not already beaten the Titans and the Texans this season.
Most talk bakers are morons who place way too much of their own sense of self worth in 20 year old kids who play football. I would never waste my time to write bad things about someone elses team..go read a nook or something you guys are pathetic.
I was a proud season ticket holder this season..the place was amazing..the fireworks the confetti..TJ leading the emotional charge out of the tunnel.Thanks Woody!!! I feel great about my team no matter how far they go the rest of the way..but they can be reaaaaly dangerous.
They can run on anyone That makes them dangerous.
this goes out to all of you ….go ahead..waste more of your life telling us your opinion about a team you probably saw play once or twice..you need to get lives..

The Jets are the worst team in the playoffs, but not by far. The Jets again get lucky and play the emotionally drained Bengals who have looked like the Bengals of old the last 6 games of the season. So the Jets may have a chance in game 1 but from that point on, they will be the pawns that the Colts or Chargers will use to warm up for the AFC championship game.
The Bengals were a great story in the beginning of the season when they were squeaking out wins to put them in the post season, but at the end of the season they have showed that their early season success was a bit lucky.
That said, I really think Houston, Pittsburgh, or even Tennesee would provide tougher outs for the top seeds than Cinci or the Jets.
Just an opinion so dont go getting your panites in a bunch.

The AFC is definitely top heavy. There are teams that are much better than the Ravens and Jest…..my God, those teams suck. The Ravens will be badly exposed next week, and we can only hope the Jest win and get to go to Indy, so this farce of a “playoff” team will be put to rest. Any team with freakin Mark Sanchez at QB deserves to get drummed…..and they will.

Please, please, please Jets, go get it done. Beat the Bengals. Beat the Colts. I don’t care what else you d, but if you accomplish those two things I will jump on the bandwagon and make you my 7th favorite team in the NFL.

The Jets lost 7 games, and won two pre-season games against the Colts and Bengals. By my count, they were a .500 team at best. If anything, they will go into Cincy and get thumped.
Rex Ryan is so arrogant, he will think that the last two wins were legit. Marvin Lewis set this game up pretty well.
I am no Bengals fans, and I used to like Rex in B-more, but he looked like an idiot pumping his fists while up by 30 points last night. Show some class, and act like you’ll be there again.

Arizona has Kurt Warner at QB.
The Jets have some kid named Sanchez.
Little bit of a diff there.

The Jests blow. that fat weirdo Ryan couldn’t coach his way out of a soggy paper bag. They will be crushed in round 1 and will struggle to win 6 games next year.

It’s funny seeing a dozen comments basically calling the Jets push-overs.
I guess having the best Defense and Running game in the league doesn’t buy what it used to….like ‘respect’.
Our problem is that we have a rookie Qb. I understand that.
BUT, if he can avoid shooting the team in the foot with turnovers, the Jets are a tough out.

5 of top-10 rushing offenses in the NFL are sitting at home at the moment
only 2 of the top-10 passing offenses in the NFL are doing the same
so be careful because everybody knows how to twist stats into theories these days
the NFL is much more pass-oriented now than what some people fail to realize

Ok, they caught on a huge break on the scheduling of two playoff bound teams at the end of the season but let’s not confuse dumb luck with real talent, which the Jets have very little of. If they don’t beat the Bungles next week, for sure, they will lose the next game. Dangerous my ass.

I don’t know why everyone keeps saying that the Jets exposed themselves by going all out against the Bengals. Sanchez threw the ball 15 times–they didn’t show any of their pass game. Every team in football has already seen their run game, and very few have been able to stop it.
There are plenty of reasons to doubt the Jets in the playoffs but that’s not one of them.
