Re: Colts will feel INTENSE PRESSURE if the play the Rats next week

easy there Jets fan

I just can't believe 2 of my most hated teams are going to the AFC championship

Yeah, I'm a Jets fan because I am pointing out that the Jets can beat the Saints. No one here wants either of the AFC teams in the championship, but it's anyone's game. Remember no one thought the Giants could beat us.

 

[carolinatony]

The Colts won't feel anymore pressure than normal in the AFC Championship game.

I don't believe that. If they lose the local Media will never let them live it down.

I can't root for either team.

I did

even my friend who is insanely knowledgeable about football (and hates the Pats) said the Giants would get rolled on

I never felt good about the game

 

[ramon]

Hate both teams BUT

have too root for the JETS:

it would be so funny if they come back to beat the colts after they laid down like little girls to let the JETS in!!!!

 

[Caf]

I am a Pats fan, living in Florida. I dont care for the Colts or the Jets, but dislike the Dolphins much more. I can't wait to read the sports page in Monday's Miami Herald. Fins fans must be devistated to think that they beat the Jets twice during 08 and may have to look forward to seeing them play in the superbowl here on thier own field.............Ex Jets coach Parcells will have a stroke.................

 

[sieglo]

Got to pull for the Jets to beat the Colts, if only for the fact that I think the Saints will beat them in the SB.

I don't think the AFC playoffs could have unfolded any worse! These ARE the two teams I hate most in football. This is clearly proof that there is indeed no god in this world. Unless of course Lucas field explodes at halftime Looks like I'll be trying to screw something rather than watch football next weekend...

Nah. The only roasting the Colts will get is if they lose to the Jets in the AFC Championship game and deservedly so. All the local media will do is give the Colts players ammunition for the game.

no given there. the jets played the saints once and their defense shut down brees

The AFC Championship Game is a nightmare of epic proportions! :enranged:

 

[condon84]

It would be poetic justice if the Jets were to beat the Colts. As hard as it is for me to root for the Jets, the look on Manning's and Polian's face if they do lose to the Jets would be epic. Plus, the crowd reaction there if they lose in a close game would fantastic.

I'll cheer the Jets on like I cheer for my root canals. Something painful, but has to be done.

 

[whoosh]

Do you realize the Colts are following a similar path as their super bowl season 3-4 years back?
1. Hard fought divisional playoff win versus Baltimore (which was not in doubt even though hard fought - both games there is a critical very long 8 minutes or so drive that Ravens cannot defend).
2. The team that Colts will have the toughest time against (San Diego) gets taken out by an AFC east team (NE back then & Jets now). The 2006 Colts matched up better with 2006 Patriots (and knew they could beat them - even though the game was a tight game). Same with this year's Jets - the Colts have better chances against them than against San Diego & much more likely to win than lose against the Jets.

 

[weswelker#83]

Every team that rested starters and/or slid at the end of the season won this weekend.

Except the Chargers...,

 

[thechris]

God help me I am rooting for the JETS~!

 

[IronSheik]

So this game comes down to the lesser of 2 evils.

Absolutely. Classic irony. As much as I dislike the Jests, I dislike the Po Lyin, referee payrolling, pick running, change-the-rules-on-the-fly Colts even more.

 

[hyperpat]

The Jets better get ready for at least two major defensive pass interference calls against them at critical times. When you play the Colts at the oil drum, you have to play the Colts and the zebras (must be a four-legged animals stick together kind of thing.)

You have to work at least two DPI calls against you into your game plan.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Okay, on the flip side, won't the Colts look like absolute geniuses if they handle the Jets with ease? After they let the Jets in the playoffs to take out the Chargers who historically own the Colts. Nobody wants to say it but IF this scenario plays out on Sunday the Colts ultimately made the right choice.

 

[JSn]

I'd be fine with the Jets winning the SB. It puts pressure on Bill and Bob to do what they have to do to win.

Still, my preference is (now revised) the Jets meet the Saints and get smoke-holed.

 

[bb07]

I will root for the jets. First, I don't want Colts to win. If they win, media will call them the team of this decade. Nobody would remember us. Second, I want Jets to be the superbowl loser. Remember what happened to superbowl losers every year? Besides the 31st pick, most losers were out of playoffs for years, such as Raiders, Giants, Vikings, Titans.... So it would be nice for JETs to win at Indy, beat Manning and his almost perfect season then lose big at Miami. I hope they will be demolished. 5 interceptions.
