Pats -v- Jets Playoff Game Thread (7:30 start for Larry)

[JohnR]

4:30 Game start.

Predictions:

• Expect to see a much tighter game than the last time they played.
• The team with the most points will win.
• If the Jets can score more points, they will win.
• If the Pats score more, they will win.

Seriously, I won't predict - too superstitious.

Ok Bill

Should be a better game being predicted. No way the Jets are going to roll over...

Just got done chipping ice and it feels a heck of a lot colder than 31 outside.

key matchups I will watch

Mangold vs Wilfork - 2 best in league

Chung vs Keller - Sanchez needs Keller down the middle

Scott vs Gronkwski - Brady looks for him in red zone

Both teams must stop the run

Special teams and turnovers are huge in big games.

We got the grill ready in the garage and plenty of beer- GO JETS!!

I was thinking it should be a close game until I watched Green Bay last night. I think Brady and Coach are on a mission, and that usually bodes very badly for the other team.

[spinncognito]

Pats should win but I will be the first to admit I am slightly concerned. The Jets will need to do something unexpected (read- trickery) and wn the special teams battle to have a chance. Really, though the Pats will only lose if they beat themselves which is highly unlikely. Stay away from the stupid penalties (reactive personal fouls) and protect the football and then bring on the Steelers

[stcroixman]

everyone expects Smith to throw out of wildcat.

Watch out for Tomlinson - has 20 career TD passes from halfback option

[striperman36]

after this game, the AFC championship and the big one maybe anti-climatic. GB though is gonna be tough

[afterhours]

the head says patriots by 17.....the gut says patriots by 6. go patriots!!!!!

[spence]

I think the first quarter will be telling. Either the Jets have come to play or they have not.

Beat the Fockers

[Raven]

Brady can't throw sanchez lobs

[spence]

They're over thinking things...they just need to play.

Could easily be 21-3 or 17-3 right now.... Let's see if they can find out where they left their sac after the interception....

[striperman36]

Jet's defense is good today.

[afterhours]

[Goose]

Ouch. I'm gonna be hearing A LOT of jets chatter now. I guess those guys can talk all they want.

Bill and Rex had a surprisingly long meet after the game. No 2 second "Nice game coach"

I think i saw Rex tell him should have kept Matt but my lip reading isnt that good.

[JohnR]

Ouch

[Piscator]

Went to my neighbors to watch the game, had to keep him from kicking the dog.................

I used to get worked up about this stuff, bottom line is that in the next day or week, it will be non effective in my life.

[striperman36]

it's a shame to lose they seemed to really have a good second half of the season.

Now, I can go work in the ManCave

[TheSpecialist]

Look when the season started no one thought the Pats would win 10 games this year, never mind the Superbowl. They went 14-2, won the AFC East, and had a 1st round bye in the playoffs, they will be back better than ever next season.

[Slipknot]

I'm PISSED frozen and extremely disappointed

kudos to the jets for playing better than the pats, jets made very few mistakes, the pats made lots of mistakes and missed on lots of execution

I thought they were gonna pull it off

with 11 minutes to go they went down the field time wasting away with no sense of urgency and get a frieking field goal instead of 7 and wasted all that clock wtf, the fans were pissed, we were screaming at them.


I'm pissed

THAT SUCKED

Looks like I'll root for GB

[stcroixman]

That blowhard John Dennis is choking on humble pie on NESN this morning.

His arrogance the last 2 months was over the top. Always respect your opponnents.

Sanchez isn't as good as Brady and probably will never be, but he reminds me of Phil Simms who was good enough to win 2 SB's
