I blame the ref that penalized Vincent's "kick."  Dumbest penalty I'm seen in awhile.

True.  That was a ridiculous penalty, but I do not think that it made any difference in the game.

And I CANNOT believe that the Jets actually beat the Chargers!  I feel so bad for the Chargers.  They have had soooo many good teams and still have nothing to show for it.

that being said...

I would like to congratulate on my Colts for making their second Superbowl appearance since moving to Indianapolis.  The Chargers had me worried and I think they would have matched up well against my Colts  but while the Jets Defense is good, I think baltimore was a bit better and we hung 20 on them so I'm not too worried.  ;D

Are you saying that your Colts have already beaten my Jets? Dem r fitin words. But really this is why the game is played. Also if you think the Colts have already won most people also thought that of the Bengals the first, and second time, and the Chargers, who I think are not as good as the Colts on paper but would have beaten them head to head.

Guess they were not so good then, lol.

Good? #1 corner in the league, best rushing defense too go with it, made them the best defense in the league. I think this Sunday's matchups for NFC/AFC championship is the best games in a while. The Vikings and Saints, the top 2 NFC teams who never played each other during regular season! This is going to be their first time playing each other and it will be at the Dome and Brett/Brees, it's gonna be high scoring. Then on the AFC side you have the bitter Colts going against the underdog. The experienced Manning, verse the Sanchise. Both teams seem to put up just enough points to win and with Revis taking out Reggie Wayne, it's going to be up to Dallas Clark verse the rest of the defense. I am not saying Garcon and Gonzalez are not great but they are not as much of a threat. Both defense are tough and both offenses play very different, this should be an awesome game. J-E-T-S jets jets jets!

I'm sorry, but there is no reason to give the Colts the game. If anything, I'd give the game to the Jets. Peyton is good, but that defense is by far one of the best I have seen for awhile, and I live in Pittsburgh. Wayne no longer exists for next game. You will not get over 50 yards rushing. The Jets could easily win.

True.  I'm really more annoyed with the Chargers players that kept giving him reasons to penalize them, and he got a little carried away.  I think the Chargers would've had another TD in the first half if they'd not been so... whatever they were.

But I'm continually amazed by Revis.  If he ends up with a ring, I will be okay with his team smashing mine.  I'm considering picking them over the Colts... If they can pick off Rivers, they can certainly mess with Peyton, especially since the Colts running game isn't much better than the Chargers'.

Mr.Hiatus is right, we are gonna get some good football.

I am SOOOOO loving all the hatin going on against my Colts  ;)

Jets D is pretty good but the Jets are at best a 8-8 team if not a 7-9 team.  their last two games were giftwrapped for them but since the jets did beat the bengals in the post season, I will give you that one.  The Jets didnt have much of a chance during the Colts game until Peyton left in the second half.

I am not saying that Defense is not good.  I KNOW it will slow the colts down.  It is the Jets Offense that I think will be the problem for them.  A rookie QB in the AFC Championship for the first time, The Colts Defense looked great against the Ravens who have a very similar offense to the Jets with a great running back in Ray Rice.  It will be Loud in the Dome and the Rush defense of the Colts will not give "Sanchize" much time to make decisions at all....so...

yes, I do think that the Colts have a very good shot at making the superbowl again.  I rooted for the jets today, partially because I like underdogs and partially because I feared the Bolts more.

But underdogs are underdogs for a reason.  And the Colts have won every game they wanted to this season for a reason so hate all you want andif I am wrong you have my permission to make me eat humble pie, but deep down, I think most of you know, that the Jets just paved the way for Indy to go to Miami this February.

Yeah but.... Thomas Jones is for real! And hey... you'd guys better watch out... Adrian Peterson is not like those "other" running backs... you'd better pray hard for the Saints to win.  ;) He's the best at what he does... unfortunately, what he does isn't very nice.

Jets D is pretty good? Try #1 in the league. 8-8 team, 7-9!?! Blasphemy. They also lost two tough ones which they should have so I think it balances out pretty well. When Peyton was taken out it was 15-10. That to me seems like a good game. Anything could have happened and you still can not blame it on taking out Peyton, we scored 29 points against your defense, not Peyton. The Jets offense is fine right now. I would not even consider Sanchez a rookie anymore, he has played more than a regular season now. And do not forget he was the MVP in the Rose Bowl, which I think was a bigger audience/crowd then the AFC championship will be. Yes the Ravens and Jets offense might be somewhat similar, but you have to count for Brad Smith in wildcat, Shaun Green who has had an amazing postseason, and then the number 3 running back in the league, Thomas Jones. That is a little better then Ray Rice.And the rush defense of the COlts will not give Sanchez time to throw? You forget that the Jets offensive line is also ranked number one in the league and that Mark Sanchez has been hurried/hit/sacked the least amount of times.

Yes, but they are still 8-8 in my book with a great looking loss to a team from Buffalo?  they were swept by the Dolphins and while they did beat New England at home, they got thrashed by New England at Foxborough. sooo a # 1 Defense can only take you so far...

Yeah, well you wont be playing against our defensive scrubbs this time either.  Both Freeney and Mathis were resting alongside Peyton.

Yeah, but lets see how he does in the big lights of the AFC Championship game...maybe the Rose Bowl is a bigger crowd, but ther is a lot more pressure in this game than in ANY college game

Really are we just making up stats now?  I dont know about hut or hurried stats, but ESPN tells me this

Regular season Sacks
Peyton= 10
Sanchez = 26

Im sure the hurried and hit stats are likely to be very similar.

I hope the Jets win so it's an easier game for the Vikings in the Super Bowl.

However, the realist in me says the Colts win by at least 14.

Bah, Haven't you forgot the Vikes can't play at night, on the road? Look at 3 of thier 4 losses, all on the road, all at night, Carolina, Chigaco and Arizona. Guess what the Saints game is - A night game on the road.

HEY crustpope don't even bother arguing with these guys as they must have forgot those first 14 games the Colts played, the Colts are going to win Freeney Mathis will make sanchez cry, thomas Jones!? everyone saying we should fear him! They must have forgot that we have peyton manning, Peyton  > thomas jones +mark sanchez + darrelle revis. all im saying is y'all must have forgot what we did to Ray Rice, what we did to the Ravens D, that no lead is safe and that Peyton can kill the clock and score and make the Jets have to throw then mathis and Freeney will clean Sanchez up. Colt 31 Jets 10 P.S. saints WILL beat the Vikings, Colts will beat the saints

I guess I could clarify that a bit. The Jets are playing great football right now, but without question the Vikings match up way better against them than they would against the Colts.

All the Vikings have to do against the Saints is let Favre throw it down field a few times.

See I think this is exactly the problem with the Vikings. They give it to Favre too much... he will be so much more effective if you run the ball more. Then you can do more play-actions and things like that.

Well yes I do. It's a simple fact that quarterbacks to better with a good RB, one that is USED. John Elway+Terell Davis is a great example.

How about those Jets!  ;)

The Jets are lucky we didnt hang 50 on them.  Sanchez was throwing it away into dangerous territory and just got lucky he wasn't picked another 2 or 3 times.  Their Running game ran into quicksand and the only thing keeping them alive were some brilliant plays in the 2nd.

Now its just to wait to find out who else punches their ticket to Miami. Game looks good so far.

Eh, The Colts are lucky that the flag wasn't thrown on that blatent hit on Sanchez in the 3rd. You could totally see all the life go out of the Jets after that play.

Vikings nation is holding its breath right now.  It looked like Favre may have cracked a rib a few plays ago and now it looks like he may have injured his ankle.
