timbuk3 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Wouldn't it be ironic if the Colts lost to the Jets in the championship, the team that they let into the playoffs because they decided to take the last two weeks off?
Sisyphean Bills Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Just deserts. All the better because the Jets are winning with a strong OL and a swarming defense.
zazie Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Just deserts. All the better because the Jets are winning with a strong OL and a swarming defense. I am kind of anti Jets and anti Colts since they were both division foes for a long time.... but I have to rout for the Colts to beat NY, and NO to win against Brett, and NO to take it all. In a best case scenario. But that is why they play the games.

47Yards Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 i hate the jets, but i think that would be funny. I thought the same thing, but I really want to see a Favre/Manning Super Bowl showdown.

jethro_tull Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 If the Jets beat the Colts I may have to give up watching football for a while.
/dev/null Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 If the Jets beat the Colts I may have to give up watching football for a while. The Jets beating the Colts would be almost as ridiculous as Jethro Tull winning best Heavy Metal band over Metallica
uforesircher Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The Jets beating the Colts would be almost as ridiculous as Jethro Tull winning best Heavy Metal band over Metallica well done - love the classic rock trivia
uforesircher Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 If the Jets beat the Colts I may have to give up watching football for a while. nothing about your post - but the irony of your avatar combined with the screen name instantly makes me think of - wait for it - tiger woods = thick as a brick; bungle in the jungle; etc . . .
Malazan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 It's certainly interesting given the debate about resting starters and the league's piqued interest on the matter. I have to ultimately side with the Colts. Manning needs to win a couple more Super Bowls so we don't have to hear about Tom Tom anymore.
disco Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Or how about the colts are now a lock to go to the SB because they let in a team that took care of the one team they couldn't beat? Who says they didn't play this perfectly?
NFLBighits Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 If the Jets win I will get my sex changed :0 so there is no chance in hell it's even possible ! Colts vs Vikes all the way!
CarolinaBill Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 if that were to happen, I think the colts players would have a totally new arguement for NOT RESTING STARTERS THE LAST 2 GAMES. wow, that would be hysterical
SF Bills Fan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The Jets look tough. I could see them getting by the Colts. Oddly, I'm alright with it. The Jets are not a team of stars. They are the wedding crashers. They are just getting it done with good solid football. People hate Rex Ryan, but he is a good coach. He has got the kind of enthusiasm I hope the next Bills coach has.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 It's like a freeeee ride when you've already paid, It's the goooood advice that you just didn't take
Britbillsfan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The only thing ironic about that song was that it was a song about irony with nothing ironic in it.
Tcali Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The Jets beating the Colts would be almost as ridiculous as Jethro Tull winning best Heavy Metal band over Metallica Air Supply is the best heavy metal band.
Mr. WEO Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 if that were to happen, I think the colts players would have a totally new arguement for NOT RESTING STARTERS THE LAST 2 GAMES. wow, that would be hysterical You mean totally different than in 2005, 2007, 2008?
BillsPhan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Wouldn't it be ironic if the Colts lost to the Jets in the championship, the team that they let into the playoffs because they decided to take the last two weeks off? Excellent take. I do have a couple of observations though. With Bill Polian running the show I am amazed that the Colts don't have at least a passable (pun intended) back up for Manning. I know Peyton is an iron-man and never misses a start and all of that, but still, he made sure Frank Reich stayed in Buffalo all those years behind Jimbo, I'm surprised he doesn't have anyone better behind Manning. Secondly, it is ironic that the Jets are back to play Indy with the SB on the line. However, I thought the Colts were well within their rights to rest Manning and the other starters after they had home field advantage sewn up. When the Bills did it, I don't remember any fans complaining 15 - 20 years ago when they were the best team in the AFC. As far as the Indy fans bitching about giving up on the perfect season? Well it sure seemed like they "forgave" the Colts, once that game started against the Ravens in the sold out Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday, didn't it?? Yes sir, they packed the house and screamed loud and long for their heros now that the playoffs had started, and they realized just how stupid the Pats were to have lost Wes Welker during a meaningless game, while all of their starters were as healthy as they could have been.
