I know we got into it a little in the other Colts thread, but I figured I'd start a new thread. I'm really excited for this game, I guess just because the Colts are back in the AFC championship for what seems like the first time in forever.
I've been doing something lately I don't usually do, which is listen to ESPN radio. Tedy Bruschi was on Mike and Mike (I think their show is the worst of all ESPN radio shows) and I am really growing to dislike him. Listening to him talk you'd have thought that Peyton was the rookie QB and Sanchez was the seasoned veteran. So yeah, he picked the Jets to win. I think even if I wasn't a Colts fan I'd root for them just so Bruschi would look stupid.

I'm not a Colts fan despite my location(or perhaps because of it but that's another matter) but I agree.
They were talking about things they did to confuse Peyton 7-8 years ago or things the Steelers did in 2005. I wouldn't be shocked if the Jets win on Sunday, but if they do, it won't be because Peyton is fooled by 8 year old tricks.

How ironic would it be if the Jets won after the Colts laid down for them to let them in the playoff? That said, I still think the Colts win.

I think if this game is played 10 times, the Jets would win once or twice. I honestly think Saints/Vikings is the tougher game to predict (although I'm taking the Saints).
I think Manning and the Colts have enough experience with blitzing defenses that they should be able to put enough points on the board to win. And it won't take much. With the speed of the Colts defense, I think the Jets will be lucky to top 14 points.
With the way the Colts D contained Ray Rice (who is better than Greene and Jones), I don't see how the Jets score more than once or twice, unless they happen to get a pick-6 TD on defense. If Brackett and the middle of the Colts D-line and LBs can clog the middle of the field, Sanchez and the offense are in serious trouble.
Prediction: Colts 17, Jets 10

This is false. The Colts did not lay down for the Jets to make the playoffs. They laid down to rest their starters and get healthy. The Jets happened to be the fortunate opponent that week, but they still had to beat the Bengals the following week (who also rested some starters).
It wasn't about wanting the Jets to make the playoffs, it was about wanting the Colts to be healthy and rested when it was time for the playoffs.

Here are my thought right now about the game
-The Jets are riding one heck of a momentum wave right now.
-The Jets OLine is playing amazing right now.
-The Colts were able to shake off some rust against Baltimore and should be clicking.
-Revis will take away Wayne forcing Collie and Garcon to beat them.
-The game may come down to Clark making plays.
-Sanchez is very over rated as a QB right now.
-Stop the Jets running game you win.
-Colts go up 2 scores and the game is over.

And let's not forget that the Colts are undefeated this year in games when the starters played the whole time. It was about 5 weeks ago that the Jets lost at home to the Falcons in what was their biggest game of the year at that time.

Rex Ryan alone would make the two week buildup before the SB nearly unbearable. I already have to turn the channel anytime he speaks. He'd get much worse if his team wins the AFC Championship.

I don't know about that. Ordinarily, a NY team in the championship would be great for the national media. But Indy has Manning and he's one of the most popular players in the NFL now. He does about a billion commercials so it certainly can't hurt to have him in the Super Bowl. I really don't think any of the national media - with the exception of Mike Greenberg - will be too sad about any combination of the 4 teams in the Super Bowl. Even though New Orleans is a smaller market, they can talk about Katrina and how they had to play games in San Antonio. Minnesota has Favre - need I say more?
Roy Tucker

I think it will essentially be a replay of the Colts/Ravens game.
It will be a rough go, but Manning and co. will scrape up enough points against a tough Jet defense. Manning won't pull a Phillip Rivers.
And I think Manning will keep the Jets defense on the field long enough to not allow the Jets ground game to get rolling.
The wild card in this is the Jets are hot. They could pull off the upset. But I don't think so.
I still say Colts-Saints in the supe. Favre can get rattled. Brees can't.

Matt Hasselback's wife made some good points the other day in that the Jets scheme is essentially the same as Baltimores, so this gives Peyton two consecutive weeks to work a defense. Peyton Manning + any type of advantage = win
Personally, I think Peyton is so good that he will get his, no matter how good the defense is. I also think that the Colts D should completely shut down the Jets lackluster offense.
Tony Cloninger
01-21-2010, 01:57 AM
That is why I thought Palmer would be able to beat the Jets beacuse he has done well against that type of defense...even in the bad years...Palmer has beaten his defense.
I hope that Manning does beat it...and the Colts beat them soundly.....It is amazing how a team goes from being underrated to so overrated that you really start to hate them.
They act as if the Jets defense has developed a new magical way of playing football that is impossible to defeat. Also... Revis is always putting his hands on a WR.....and yet never is called for illegal use of hands...even when he sticks his hands in front of the receivers face mask. He is very good but he seems to have some of these referees unable to understand that he has his hands on the WR and that is not legal.

I like the parallels between the Jets and Ravens D. But I think what makes the Jets D better is their coverage skills. Baltimore's weakness was a against the pass the season. You can't say the same thing about the Jets.
Indy should win this game. There is little doubt that they are the overall better team. But if I were an Indy fan this Jets hot streak would scare me a little bit.

If the Jets win the Super Bowl, Marvin's really going to commit to the run. If that happens, then they better draft a Tight End as good as Dustin Keller by picking up Jermaine Gresham in the 1st Round this season. They should do it whether the Jets win the Super Bowl or not.

Yeah, I think that's where I am as well. The Jets are good team and it's very possible for the Colts to lose, but I don't think it's because Peyton will be rattled.
Ummm, most games I remember the Colts losing is because Peyton WAS rattled. The guy has the "choke" reputation on him for a reason even with a Super Bowl. heck, just watching the Baltimore game last week he looked different. He gets happy feet SO easily. Even back to his Tennessee days, Florida was ALWAYS their biggest rival and never played well enough to beat them OR a NC until the year after he left.
I even put the entire '06 Pittsburgh game on him as well. Yes, yes, I know the OL didn't play well and he basically threw them and Vanderchoke under the bus, but Peyton should've never let Vanderchoke kick that 46 yard field goal. I still remember watching the game and it's 2nd 2 on the 31 yard line and Peyton throws NOT once, but TWICE to the endzone 30 yards away on 2nd and 2. Instead of picking up 10-15 or even 20 more yards, the guy makes some boneheaded throws to the endzone to let a kicker that all Colts fans knew who didn't perform well under pressure. That's all on the QB and it should be. . . and the guy had the nerve to criticize the kicker knowing full well he didn't trust him in the first place.
Rex Ryan alone would make the two week buildup before the SB nearly unbearable. I already have to turn the channel anytime he speaks. He'd get much worse if his team wins the AFC Championship.
Agreed. I'd rather have the Colts in the Super Bowl and I've been rooting against them all year. Colts fans should be scared about the game. Yeah, yeah I know Colts didn't play a full 4 quarters and played the Jets well before then. However, this will be a game Peyton struggles in and will have to settle for FG's. I think the Colts get close to losing this game, but Matt Stover wins the game, IMO.

PEyton Manning still has a choke label? Huh? He is 8-8 in the playoffs, 1-1 in AFC Championship Games, and 1-0 in the Super Bowl. How is that choking? He got that monkey off his back years ago, and now I think he will win his second world championship which would cement his place at or near the top of all-time QBs.

For the most part I don't think Payton is a big game GM. With all the talent that has surrounded him its odd to think that he has only been to one super bowl in his career. I think a win over the Jets and you can officially remove the "choke" label from him. If the Colts lost to the Jets the questions about him in big games will continue.

I have always found it odd that Peyton escaped most of the criticism from that game. I feel along the same lines as you do. He went for the kill shot instead of getting a 1st down and gaining an extra 15 yards to set up an easier FG. Granted its the NFL but 46 yards is a guarantee.

Right now I really don't care who makes the super bowl. The only team I would want to see win is the Saints. Don't want to hear about Brett Favre for 2 weeks straight. Don't want to hear Rex Ryan have a mic for 2 weeks straight. And have never really been a big fan of Peyton. I am interested in seeing how Garcon and Collie play against the Jets. That is the matchup I am most looking forward to in this game.
If it comes down to a FG kicking contest the Jets have been incredibly lucky this entire post season.

I think the Jets D needs to be +2 in the turnover battle and it needs to lead to at least 10 points, 1 touchdown minimum.
If Sanchez is forced to pass, the game snowballs in Indy's favor.

You should root for the Colts. Not only because they're the better team, but for two other reasons:
1. They're local.
2. The Jets beat the Bengals, so if you care, that's another reason.
This is looking to be a good game, with lots of good D on both teams.

I don't want to get into an argument, but I think that's a pretty simplistic view of sports. This isn't Madden football, these are real people with real emotions and real memories -- the Jets know the Colts laid down for them, they know that the Colts were more concerned about getting their star players some rest than with eliminating them from the playoffs.
These sorts of things can matter in big games. The unquantifiable extra that makes the difference between winning and losing.

We're just talking, my friend.
That game was 4 weeks ago- I just find it hard to believe that the Colts are carrying that around with them for 28 days and are letting that get into their heads. That's a long time.
Resting does not hurt anything- look at college bowl games, these teams dont play for 6 weeks and they come out and win.
Talent trumps psychology, for me. The mental stuff is fun to fill a sports broadcast with an talk about, but I really don't think karma or emotions over a 4 week old football game are eating at the Colts. They beat the tar out of the Ravens after all that hoopla over resting, and now all of a sudden they shouldn't have rested their players becuase of a bad 2 quarters against the Jets?

If they were really playing to win, they wouldn't have taken Brady out at all, and definitely not at the end of both halves to see the backup QB run the 2-minute drill. I don't know what BB was really doing, but it felt almost like a 3rd pre-season game, not resting anyone(who wasn't already injured) or trying to win, like they were still working on things. Of course, the whole plan might have changed after Welker got hurt, even the Colts starters played as deep into the game as he did.

Man, you've really got to feel bad for Rex Ryan and the Jets. This has got to be heartbreaking for them, and they're the most deserving team in the league of playing in the Super Bowl.
(That's a big bunch of sarcasm, by the way. :evil: )

The wife & I just ordered our AFC Champions Colts shirts. Should look nice at our Super Bowl party.
Its amazing what can happen when you make field goals.

About how I thought it would go but I wasn't sure there for a while.
Manning has too many guys to go to. Eventually they figured out the Jets defense and started getting the match ups they wanted. From that point on, it was Manning being Manning.
Jets played a good game though. They'll be a force to reckon with next year. Sanchez is getting better. I guess we'll be suffering from Rex Ryan for a while.

I took the following quote from another thread:
Revis can only cover 1 receiver. If the Indy o-line give Manning time, he will find Clark, Collie, Wayne or Addai/Brown, assuming Revis is on Wayne. The Indy O-line is the key to the game, IMO.
I'm guessing EtR meant to include Garcon too. I was at the game today and there were a number of plays where Wayne would run about two yards and then just stop. Sure it took Wayne out of the play but it also completely took Revis out of the play. I don't know if other teams have done this or not, but I thought it was genius considering the number of receiving options the Colts have.

Yeah, I was really impressed with Sanchez and especially the Jets Oline. I knew their line was good, but that's as little pressure I've seen the Colts get on an opposing QB all year. And the one time they did get a good shot on Sanchez he threw a TD.

I just got back from the game and it was a dandy.
Jets were vastly improved over the last time the Colts played them.
First half was very uneasy. The key however was second half, first possesion by the Jets when the Colts held em. The tide just seemed to turn at that point.
Bill Polian and Jim Caldwell have ended up looking like they no question did the right thing by resting the starters in first game against the Jets. The NFL gives out trophys for SB Champs and not for undefeated seasons. Just ask the Pats about that one!!!

Manning really has cemented his place among the all time greats. He kept his cool the entire game and shifted into a different gear in the 2nd half. They have a lot of weapons for Manning to play with, if Addai and Brown can eek out some yds on the ground they will be unstoppable.

I am impressed how Garcon and Collie played. I thought the game would come down to those two played and I was uncertain how they would play.
I think the Colts will win the super bowl. I think the Saints are a much better match up for the Colts than the Vikings would have been.
