Yes it does feel good to have something to cheer about with this team ...

oh man, did you hear Collinsworth compare this Jets team to the Steelers first superbowl run with Roethlisberger? Great rushing attack, great defense ... he was saying they can make a run and actually used the words "Jets" and "Championship" in the same sentance!

I really hope Jets fans are jaded enough not to bite into this heavily.

I love this team chances a lot in da playoffs and our D was lights out again. The only thing that worries me is sanchez. He's been the downfall of this team all season and if he plays poorly again its gonna get ugly next week. He needs to mature and that time is now.

congrats to all Jets fans for making the playoffs ! ( coming from a Bengals fan )

I'm not going to say the Bengals will win next week without a doubt, but would like to remind you all not to think this is the same Bengals team you will be playing in the wildcard game.

Bengals D had 5 startes sitting on the bench the whole game, and Cedric Benson sat out.

not saying you didn't play one hell of a game, but the Bengals showed up sunday with half of their offensive playbook. Bengals went into this game not caring if they won or lost really.

Like I said, I'm not trying to take anything away from the win, but don't expect the same team in the playoffs.

It should be a really , REALLY good game for fans of both teams. GOOD LUCK !!

WHO DEY !?!?!?!?

It will be a completely different game come Saturday, I agree....but with that said, the Jets were not going to be denied the win yesterday no matter who the Bengals played.....anyway, should be a good contest and will probably come down to turnovers and special teams....it's all gravy in my book at this point..

peter king makes some good points:

One idea to start the discussion on meaninglessness late in NFL seasons.

I'm convinced something should be done -- not has to be done.

Coaches don't want to hear about this ... except one from the AFC who I spoke with late Sunday night and who shall remain anonymous. He was concerned that even though the Jets could well have been one of the best six teams in the AFC at season's end, they got an unfair advantage by playing two teams in the last two weeks that already had playoff spots secured and weren't playing the way they'd play a regular game. "It's a matter of fairness,'' the coach said. "I don't know what can be done, but I'd like to see every team that plays a game with playoff implications have to play their best players.''

And isn't that the crux of the issue? Imagine this year if the Colts played their final two games at home instead of one at home and one on the road. Fans would be buying a 10-game season-ticket (eight regular-season games, two exhibitions), and four of them, under my scenario, would be games the Colts were playing to keep guys healthy, not to win. Fans already detest paying for the preseason. Paying for more games like the preseason is absurd.

I think it's a good idea to have each team intending to sit starting players for some or all of the game have to make that announcement on Friday, as a show of good will to the fans who pay good money to watch the games. I also think the NFL should take a page from baseball tradition: When either team in a late-September game is involved in a pennant race, the unwritten baseball rule is the team not in the race plays its usual starting nine. So tanking teams don't influence the outcome of games.

I realize the Welker injury is going to affect this debate. It should. It's a valid concern, losing valuable players to injury in games you don't have to win. I'm afraid there's no perfect solution to this one, but I do think Roger Goodell is going to direct the Competition Committee, like it or not, to do something about this before the start of the 2010 season.

haha...

i agree. its the whole "integrity of the game" thing that irks me. i like how he mentioned the unwritten rule in baseball. i would think its almost impossible to start that after so many years in the nfl though.

but as a season ticket holder, i really felt for the colts fans in that jets game the other week. eagles did the same thing for their last two games of the '04 season. i had to pay to watch koy detmer lose to the bengals in a meaningless game to end the season. something just is not right about that. it didn't used to be this way either...

It could have been Gary Kubiak, the Texans front office was grousing about the Jets getting two gimmies at the end of the season.

Uh oh, Harris may be out for Saturday's game..

Time to put up, or shut up..

I'm really nervous about the Sanchez scenario..

intodeep

If sanchez throws more then like 15 times we lose

As far as i'm concerned we are playing with house money now. I did not expect this. I surely hope we win, but won't be surprised or overly disapointed if we lose.

The Jets were pretty much gift-wrapped a playoff spot, but I think they have a decent chance beating the Bengals. The Benglas havent played a good game since about week 9. I'm not sure what happened to Carson Palmer, but he can't get anything going down the field anymore.

If the Jets get up early and can run the ball while controlling the clock, theyll be sitting pretty. If theyre down early and Sanchez has to throw a lot, game over.

You don't give a rookie qb a win now team and expect him to do well. Its just not possible to win.


Sanchez has caused 30 turnovers on his own

That's NOT going to happen as the Bengals go up by 7. BTW the Hawks are on fire as they dismantled the BRUINS on the road the other night.
