As O'Neill says the two week break done them no favors! Plus the Jets defense was brilliant!

The break didn't hurt Minnesota or New Orleans or Indianapolis too much.

Everything they did with ease, failed today. Even Kaeding's kicking. LT was anonymous.

Never thought they were good enough. Colts and Saints will def contest SB.

It didn't, but the Chargers were feeding off a run like that despite being an average side.

Didn't effect the other teams because they were playing dirt teams! Jets will put it up to any team now! How ironic would it be for the Jets to beat colts after colts letting them into playoffs to start with!

Carmen Stateside · January 18, 2010, 01:19:48 AM

Also you could add the fact Chargers had 10 penalties called against them!

It would be something else to see the Jets beat the Colts, but the Jets are pushing their luck getting this far. The oppositions kickers won't go on missing forever.

In their last 4 games the Jets have beaten the 3 AFC divison winners 4 times and even though 2 of those were gifts they have a lot of momentum.

I am a Vikings fan and after that performance today and a little bit of luck with injuires I think the Vikings will win the NFC. I will hold off calling the super bowl until we know the contenders.

No, Jets haven't a hope.

Strong Defence and a solid running game and you can do damage in the play-offs. its happened so many times before. Rex Ryan has done a tremendous job. Sanchez as a rookie, maybe he's not allowed do too much but he's not turning it over crucially.

No question Sanchez has come on in leaps and bounds since earlier in the season. Far fewer interceptions and attempts at risky or overambitious passes. The problem is what happens when the running game is stopped though - will he be capable of pulling the team through?

If you took this season's Jets defense and rushing offense and melded it with the Giants passing offense, you'd have some side!

ONeill · January 18, 2010, 08:02:51 AM

A pound.
