Week 17 Morning Aftermath: Jets could be dangerous in postseason
Posted by Mike Florio on January 4, 2010 1:03 PM ET

Last year, some called the 9-7 Cardinals the worst team to ever qualify for a berth in the NFL postseason.

And they nearly won the Super Bowl.

This year, the Jets could face similar criticism. They have the same record as the 2008 Cardinals. Unlike Arizona, which had a two-time league MVP under center, the Jets have an untested rookie quarterback who has yet to prove that he can perform at a high level in the elements.

If they're bombarded with beliefs that they don't belong, coach Rex Ryan will find a way to use it to motivate the troops to overachieve.

But they might not need it. With a top-flight defense and a run-heavy offense, the Jets are built to succeed in the postseason.

Response to Florio (not OP):

We've seen the #6 seed win it all before. We all know the Jets have a good defense. Nothing to see here.

Yeah, they played a 2nd string club in Indianapolis with a 3rd string QB. Only winning by 14. Beat a non motivated team last night with nothing to play for. They are nothing special

Anything can happen, but let's not read too much into this. The Jets wouldn't even be in the playoffs if both teams they faced the last two weeks laid down for them.

Likewise, they could also not be dangerous in the playoffs.

What's the news here? The Jets are in the Playoffs. We might chuckle about how they got there, but they are there. They have the top rated D in the league and the top rated Running Offense.

As Pats fans, we know very well what a Number Six seed can do. :mad: So, yes, of course they "could be dangerous." They might well "be dangerous."

We have to take care of our own business first, though.

The Jets have one of the best defenses I have seen for the past few years ....and that is WITHOUT Jenkins in the mix.

Reminds me of the 2000 Ravens,so yes the Jets look pretty good going into the playoffs.

The Jets have the #1 defense and #1 running game in the league, they should be dangerous. Only because their QB sucks is the reason why they had to sweat it out to make the playoffs.

It would be awesome if they beat the Bengals, then beat Indy and meet us in the AFCCG in Gillette.

The Jets could end up being dangerous in the playoffs, but if I am a Jets fan, I fear that the game might be placed in Sanchez's hands. I thought it was hilarious that he was praised for his mediocre performance against Indy (mostly against back ups) where he threw for 163 yards and no TDs or INTs.

I am sure that the Jets will need to rely on him more than last night where the Bengals didn't even seem to want to try to stop the run and rested two starting d-linemen. If they get past the Bengals, they will definitely need him to make plays against either the Colts or Chargers. The last time the Jets needed to rely on Sanchez, he threw one TD and 3 INTs.

Jets have some nice pieces. Heck, they may beat Cinci.

But with a rookie QB I just don't like their chances to go deep in the postseason.
