If our Patriots had laid down like that I would have lost all respect for them...but Belichek has too many balls to lay down like the Colts team and their management did!
i agree 1000% w/ this. YOU NEVER LAY DOWN IN FOOTBALL. at least real coaches don't anyway. bring'em on. i'm a "classless" jets fan (according to one of you guys!!). we can win the whole thing and most people will still say we suck. good for them. sports is about gettin' the farthest in the season. so, does that mean we "have a better team" than the chargers? i'll leave that to you, but WE ARE STILL PLAYING BY THE WAY!
imo belechick did well with a much diminished team/staff that is a work in progress and the jets did well with a work in progress....ps i grew up a jim plunkett fan, i've never hated the pat's, but i LOVE the venom my neighbors have for us!

Good for your team. I respect how they play even though I would never root for them. My obnoxious fan comment was more toungue and cheek and a little jealousy. Enjoy your time now if they go all the way cuz it can ghange oh so fast.

thanks man but none of this stuff bothers me! its all tongue in cheek! it truly sucks being a jets fan, because of all the pain that comes with it. i cheered louder yesterday than when my Yanks won the series, because when you are so used to misery and watching games slip away, you gotta celebrate when you can. bring on those "lay down" till it counts colts....hey, we beat'em in '69 and they were bigger favorites then.....
