SoFlaJets Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Getting even with Pats no Mission Impossible If you don’t think the Jets have a chance against the Patriots, then you do not know the NFL, and you certainly do not know the Jets — or Rex Ryan. If Mark Sanchez plays the way he did over most of the first 59 minutes against the Colts, if he plays the way he played the last time in Foxborough against the Patriots, then no, the Jets won’t lay a glove on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. But what if he doesn’t? What if Sanchez plays his best game and Brady doesn’t play his best game? Is that possible? Of course it is. Is it the only way the Jets can win? Maybe. But the point here is: This is no Mission Impossible. Belichick is the league’s best coach, by far, and has been for a decade. Brady is the best quarterback this season. The Patriots are the best team. And none of it guarantees Belichick and Brady a fourth Lombardi Trophy together. The Jets can look to Super Bowl XLII for comfort. The Patriots were 111/2-point favorites over the Giants that night. Who imagined that Eli Manning would win MVP honors and the imperfect team would end the Patriots’ perfect season? The Jets are 81/2-point underdogs for Sunday’s rubber match, aka World War III. All anyone seems to remember is the 45-3 Boston Massacre on Dec. 6, only three days after the Jets were emotionally devastated by the loss of Jim Leonhard. The Jets won the September meeting 28-14, before Randy Moss was exposed as a slouch and even after Darrelle Revis was hamstrung by his training camp holdout. “I think you throw the first two games out,” Jason Taylor said yesterday on CBS. “This game is for kinda all the marbles to move on to that AFC Championship game, and regardless of what happened in Week [13] or whatever that debacle was, we’ll regroup and be ready to go this time.” What ought to concern Belichick most when he dissects Jets-Colts isn’t Sanchez’s resilience in the last minute, or the way Revis took Reggie Wayne away, or how Antonio Cromartie looked like a threat to take a kickoff return to the house. Or how Ryan combined brains and brawn to hold the great Peyton Manning to 16 points. Or how frisky LaDainian Tomlinson looked and how powerful Shonn Greene looked and how the offensive line practically drove the Colts back to Baltimore. It is the fact that the Jets believe they can withstand anything, overcome everything, and they fear no one. And hate the Patriots maybe more than Brady hates the Jets. Ryan may have buried the football from the Boston Massacre at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, but he won’t bother trying to bury the memory of that humiliating night when Belichick rubbed it in. Belichick may have the advantage of an extra week of preparation, but Ryan can counter by summoning every ounce of his motivational genius to whip his Jets into full-blown us-against-the-world mode. His grenade last week dissing Brady’s work ethic had to be a calculated dagger designed at toying with the pretty boy’s head. God only knows what tricks Rex might take out of his bag. A Gisele Bundchen lookalike sent to the press room to fawn over him? A droll, monotone delivery mimicking Belichick’s? An invite to Joe Pesci to answer questions as Danny Woodhead? The only common ground that Ryan and Belichick will find this week is Belichick reminding everyone what a menace these Jets are and Ryan reminding everyone what a menace the Jets are. The Gillette Stadium faithful will deluge Ryan with foot taunts and signs, a risky tactic because it will only serve to further rally his players around him. But it always comes back to Sanchez. It is a testament to the Jets’ physical and mental toughness, to Ryan’s trickeration, that they could prevail on a night when, until it counted most, Sanchez was off the mark. The Patriots are too stout for Ground and Pound to dominate. But the Patriots are young on defense, and it should not be lost on Sanchez and Brian Schottenheimer that Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn strafed them for 251 yards and three TDs (with one pick-six) in a life-and-death 31-27 loss in Foxborough. This is bigger than the biggest game of the year. This is The Second Season, and there are more playoff-hardened Jets (Tomlinson, Santonio Holmes, Cromartie, Taylor, for instance) than Patriots. “I remember late in the fourth quarter,” Tomlinson recalled, “as the Patriots were talkin’ and yappin’ about the game that night, and I said to a couple of the guys, ‘You guys got us tonight, but we’ll be back.’ ” Don’t count Sanchez out. Don’t count the Jets out. Yes they can! Mission Possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t count the Jets out. Yes they can! Mission Possible. Pay Back is Coming! The Jets will be physical in this game. What you will see is our toughness. Remember we are the only AFC Playoff team that has beaten the Pats. I dont want to hear "yeah we beat them but they were a different team" And we lost 45-3...blah blah. The reality is we already beat them and they know it. And we are the only team that can beat them. We have to be the most physical team this sunday. We have to pound them, control the line of scrimmage, make the smart pass, and run the ball down their throats with no mercey. We have to show this Pats team NO MERCEY. Remember, what goes around comes around and it always does. The end is near for the Pats. We win this game...PERIOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 If the Pats know that the Jets beat them, the Jets sure as hell remember being beaten senseless. They'd better come physical and leave it all on the field. That is the only game all season where the Jets faced REAL adversity and they did not respond well. They'd better man up and hit somebody in the ******* mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Oxoboxo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I actually have a good feeling about this game. I'd definitely take the 9 points. If the Jets tackle the way they did on Saturday night, they have a good chance. That's the key - tackle well and limit YAC. And, of course, Sanchez needs to have a good (not great) game. If those two things happen, Jets could win a 24-21 type game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loss here and their season becomes a disappointment. What a sweet feeling a win would be. Pats would be on a two game looking streak for the postseason.

JiFtheOracle Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Of course its not impossible. But its going to be damn hard. I'll tell you this, there is no way on earth the Jets win this game despite their QB like they did on Saturday Night. Not a chance. Mark shows up and plays like he did 1st game vs. NE, Pitt or Chi. The Jets have a really good shot. The wait for the last minute to turn it on Mark Sanchez, wont have that opportunity in this game. He's got to deliver in all 4 quarters.

faba Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 So the Pats run up the scores against us last game and so many other teams the last couple of years- revenge would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh4dy15 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 They have to send a message early that this is gonna be a extremely physical game by the Jets. Come out and punch them in the mouth, let them know how the game is gonna be played right off the bat. I'll be honest I wouldnt even mind if on the opening kickoff if they call a fair catch someone just ****in lays them out and take a 15 yd penalty. Maybe not the smartest thing to give Brady a short field but no doubt it would let them know we're not playin around this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 What a sweet feeling a win would be. Pats would be on a two game looking streak for the postseason. Three if you count the super bowl. Of course its not impossible. But its going to be damn hard. I'll tell you this, there is no way on earth the Jets win this game despite their QB like they did on Saturday Night. Not a chance. Mark shows up and plays like he did 1st game vs. NE, Pitt or Chi. The Jets have a really good shot. The wait for the last minute to turn it on Mark Sanchez, wont have that opportunity in this game. He's got to deliver in all 4 quarters. Eh. If the D shows up he doesn't have to be lights out. No turnovers and keep it close. Well... you dont see many fair catches on opening kickoffs... With advice like that it's a good thing!

If you are going to risk McKnight for the game like that, might as well have him murder Tom Brady. If he could pull that off, he'd go down as the greatest draft pick the Jets have ever made.
