AFC Championship Game: Jets at Steelers

[Kontradiction]

BJGE is not Mendenhall.

Didn't say that. But he still had success against the Jets nickel early on going for over 4 YPC. For some reason, he only had nine carries and the team turned to Danny Woodhead for the few running plays called after that and became pass heavy. BJGE is not Mendenhall, but he should have been given more touches early and often.

The Patriots were NOT running well. I don't know how much better it would've gone if they'd kept trying. And I don't think they didn't try.

The Steelers are shooting themselves in the foot with that 3rd down call at the goal line and the out of bounds kickoff.

 

[pherein]

Let's face it. The Jets are a complete fraud and we just weren't all that great this year.

I dont agree, you just had a bad game, it happens. At least you didnt get you butts kicked by the seahawks

He played terrible in the 1st quarter. His QB rating was 22%.

That was Brady's rating? I just remembered them moving the ball up and down the field on the first two drives. Good passes to Edelman and Crumpler.

Bjge>Mendenhall

C'mon, I admitted I was wrong about BJGE, but get real. Mendenhall had 1,273 yards and 13 TDs this season and 1,108 yards and 7 TDs last year (and he was injured for a portion of the year last year).

I went to check Gang Green.com and couldn't access it all. Do they always basically make the site private on game days?

 

[Seanzayyy]

In retrospect, yes, but they were down 14-3 in the second half.

It's a lot easier to have this mentality when you're up 7-0 in the first half.

We still abandoned the run too early. We were down by 11 with 30 minutes left - still plenty of time to run and set up play action.

Woodhead made the most of his opportunities though.

We weren't great? Going 14-2 while defeating (and blowing out 3) every team that played today wasn't "great'?

The Patriots were a great team who played a bad game.

It is something I can't get over, how we couldn't beat this weak Jets team.

 

[Deus Irae]

He's much better.

Keep living the fantasy.

 

[Water Boy]

Huge 3 and out. Why cant the Pats do that?

 

[coolguy]

Braylon should stick to gymnastics

Are you serious? They averaged 4.0 yards per carry for the game and BJGE averaged 4.8 yard per carry on NINE attempts. How can you write that with any HINT of conviction if the Patriots did not even try to feature a balanced attack on Jan. 16th??

 

[RayClay]

We should trade Shayne Graham to one of these teams while we have the chance.

Look at the stats, my opinion. Mendenhalls 3.9ypc and backwards running isnt my cup of tea.

25th ranked D is a "great" team??!!
Umm, no.

 

[upstater1]

Keep living the fantasy.

BJGE picks his holes perfectly, watched him from the end zone multiple times, always gains positive yards and keeps drives alive. I watch Mendenhall and see him dancing behind the line and KILLING Steelers drives all the time. just killing them with losses. That's why he doesn't gain as many yards as BJGE, doesn't have BJGE's YPC, nor his TDs.

What in the world is your standard anyway? BJGE beats him all around.

 

[Water Boy]

Wow. 10 characters.

 

[Dutchmaster617]

omg man, Ben is just dancing around making Brady look bad.
