Ideal situation - Colts lose in the SB (to the Saints).... to show that even the greatest of QB's can lose the big one.

That would be ideal, but my fear is that Manning would find a way to beat New Orleans and that would just irritate me.

PATSYLICIOUS · Jan 24, 2010

Same here. I simply don't hate the Jets as much as Bill Polian. Rex Ryan doesn't bother me so much, if anything I find him comical. And also, the Colts really deserve to lose for passing up a shot at 19-0

TriplecHamp · Jan 24, 2010

Once again, Im not rooting for the Colts to win it all but if they did, maybe Manning deserves all the praise he gets. Hes a great QB and year after year he has his team in the playoffs.

Patters · Jan 24, 2010

I'm reluctantly rooting for the Colts because I can't stand Ryan, but I think if I was betting, I'd bet on the Jets.

And should the unthinkable happen and the Jets were to win at all [which I believe would happen only if Minnesota beats the Saints]

Seriously?

The Vikings would blow the doors off the Jets

The Williams boys and Jared Allen would make the run game their shower room play thing and if Sanchez dared attempt a pass they'd turn their focus onto him

The X-Factor in that argument is Favre - he's due to blow up, and I could see it happening in the Super Bowl.

Oh boy... Im rooting for the jets to lose, not for the colts to win.. but that was sick..

Sean Pa Patriot · Jan 24, 2010

Why? Because should New Orleans advance I'd love nothing more to watch Brees put up 40+ against them. I don't want to see Manning potentially get another ring and then have to listen to an offseason full of Brady/Manning comparisons. I have no faith in New Orleans beating them based on the fact Manning has been there before and obviously is as dangerous as anyone, and would rather see him remain with just one ring.

I hate the Jets as much as anyone - but since this is all I have to choose from I would at least get some enjoyment of watching Brees light them up, which would quiet the Jets fans for the offseason.

So since that's my only option, that's why I'm rooting for them today.

I am sorry but rooting for the jets would be blasphemy.

That may be - but I'm only rooting for them now so I can root against them next week

gomezcat · Jan 24, 2010

Sorry, I just CAN'T root for the Jets. As much as I dislike the Colts, I just detest the Jets.

PowerAlley.com · Jan 24, 2010

Im almost kind of Jealous of the Jets(shame on me). Great d, shutdown cb, and a running game.

PATSYLICIOUS · Jan 24, 2010

I was already rooting for the Jets but the more I watch that team the harder they are to root against. Love that attacking defense (even though Indy is moving the ball with success) and they had 2 INCREDIBLE playcalls on the big passes.

JoeSixPat · Jan 24, 2010

The irony and pleasure of seeing the Colts lose to the team they let in when they didn't have the balls that the Patriots did to go for 19-0 would be too sweet to pass up. I'm pulling hard for the Jets.

And should the Colts go all the way, their lack of balls will be that much more significant, going 18-1 when everyone will know they could have been the first 19-0 team.

That would be the most bittersweet of SB wins ever, just as today's loss would be the biggest choke since the Yankees in 2004

PatsFanInVa · Jan 24, 2010

I hate to say it but I keep waiting to turn on a game and see that Sanchez has thrown 4 interceptions and no TDs and has screwed the pooch...

...but he looks to be the real deal.

Not quite "Mark Sanchez is full of win" or any of that. But I'm grudgingly impressed of late.

I can't believe I'm typing this but..

Go Jets. I can't help but root for a dope ass defensive team that is getting it done. This is what the Pats used to be. All the respect in the world, Jets fans. Hope your guys do work this next half. If you win this game, you deserve to win the Superbowl. My most sincere hope is that you squad gets it done.

Re: I can't believe I'm typing this but..

Agree. THey are problably the most talented team in the NFL.
Its almost impossible that they don't win the superbowl in the next 5 years.
Great Defense, Great Coach.

Nah, the Colts aren't a great team. I expect the Vikings or Saints to win in two weeks whoever wins in the AFC.

**** em both.

Re: I can't believe I'm typing this but..

Jets defense just choked an 11 point lead in about 7 minutes.

OT: I'm rooting for the Jets today
