I just don't think the Jets can play a game where they score like zero or three points in the first half and then somehow hold Indy down to where it's like 9-3 going into the third quarter.

I realize that's how it was the first time the teams played and it was how it was last week against San Diego. But I don't see it tomorrow.

They need to be really confident in their guys, offensively and defensively, and go after the Colts. Make a statement early.

here are the QBs of the last six AFC champions

2003-Tom Brady
2004-Tom Brady
2005-Ben Roethlisberger
2006-Peyton Manning
2007-Tom Brady
2008-Ben Roethlisberger
2009- ?????

Not sure what that says.

I think you better have at least a very good QB right now in the AFC.

If they're 0-3, how do they have more than 3 appearances?

I went back and changed it. Three or more should've been.

Good catch.

Manning often starts a series with a pass for about 15-20 yards.

Likes to get the offense going.

Where as a lot of other teams might run for 2-3 yards on the first play, he goes for a 15-yard pass like it's nothing.

this will be very telling, I think

the Jets scripted game plan on offense to start

If they're going to let the Jets play defense like that over the short middle, it could be a long day for the Colts!

I usually root for the underdog, but I can't listen to Rex's fat mouth anymore. It's odd because i totally agree with what he's doing and he's got his team totally buying it, but God, he's getting on my freakin' nerves......

Jets have weapons and the potential to be balanced but how much are they willing to put on Sanchez.

On one hand you want to show that you're confident he can lead the team in a big game like this but then if he comes out and stinks it up and throws 4 INTs...

Colts defense fast but small, should stop the run early

Jets need to stay close so they can run later

Cotchery pulls in a great catch

don't want to challenge too early

a lot of close calls in a championship game

How the hell did Edwards catch such a simple pass like that?
