How do you see the Jets chances on Sunday?

  1. We are number one and all others are number two, or lower

    Pressure on Manning will be key. I think it's his only weakness, not that any Qb likes being battered.

    Will the Jets succeed at that? I don't really know, but they seem poised at this moment to be the team most likely to achieve that.

    I agree, But also I think we can beat them up physically and that may give a chance in the forth. Just like it was in the charger game. They could not mann up and stop that 4th down run at the end.

    I forget who said it about the SD game, but the Chargers were woofing pretty big time in the first quarter. As the game went on, though, and they could not do what everybody said they were going to do to beat the Jets, they lost more and more confidence. It was both a mental and a physical thing. They fed into each other, taking them down.

    That's the same thing the Jets need to do to the Colts. Let them be overconfident. I hope every single analyst picks them, and the Colts players believe it. That's what we want.

    Then the game will start, and their players will see how much value all that bs really has.

    Gotta love it.

    The Jets are like the tar baby on defense. The harder Brer Rabbit swings the more stuck he gets and the more frustrated. I think that's the game plan. That's why Ryan sends the defense out first - he wants the opponent talking to themselves as early as he can manage it.

    For me it was the Brian Thomas hit on the dump off over the middle! head on head and he crushed that guy. That was the play I realized that we were winning the physical game.

    I can't remember if Shonn Greens TD run was after that but I think so.

    If we can do that on Sunday we have a shot.
