So today is the day us Jets fans have been waiting for since last January. Leading the Colts 17-6 at half time of the AFC Championship game, we were soo close. So close to the Super Bowl. And we watched it slip away. Colts come back to win the game and us fans get to watch another Jets-less Super Bowl two weeks later.
But here we are again. Wild Card weekend in the NFL, heading back to Indianapolis for a rematch with Mr. Peyton Manning and the Colts. And I firmly believe that this time, the Jets will get it done for us. The Jets will prevail this evening and set up a third game this season with the Patriots next weekend in New England.
Antonio Cromartie, Santonio Holmes, Ladanian Tomlinson, Jason Taylor. All off-season acquisitions that were brought in for one purpose. Today. The Jets were close last year but as we all saw, not close enough. These players were brought in to push us over the edge, to knock off all those opponents in front of them. Tonight, we see that happen.
Mark Sanchise is a year older. A year wiser. A year better. As a rookie he won two and a half playoff games on the road. This year, he is ready to win the first road playoff game in 2011. He has his weapons spread out wide around him so he will use them. He will also use the two running backs behind him.
The biggest question mark will again the be the defensive backs. They're still banged up and they can cause us fans to bang our heads. But they will be stingy tonight. They will not make it easy for Peyton. And at some point, hopefully in the second half, we will witness the first interception of the season my Darrell Revis because Peyton will temporary lose his mind and throw in his direction.
