I was thinking the same thing as the game ended yesterday afternoon, that now BB can tell his young team honestly that you can never overlook an opponent and never believe the hype. You have to come totally prepared and play the game the best way you possibly can in order to win.
I agree that was reemphasized in the late game too, when the Jets went into Lucas Oil Stadium and held Peyton Manning to 16 points. Who saw that coming?
I assume (hope like heck?) that the Jets' game plan won't work against the Pats. If they totally take Branch or Welker out of the game (as they did Reggie Wayne), Brady has too many other people to go to, and I think our running game is superior to the Colts. I am a little worried that the Jets got their running game going and kept Manning off the field for much of the 2nd half, but I am assuming that Brady will not go 3 and out on his first three possessions to start the game, so that they will have to rely on Sanchez more in the passing game. He was having trouble hitting the side of a barn for most of the night.
