    I think the Jets have a real shot to beat a banged up Pats Team . If Amendola don't play I think the Jets will handle them fairly easy .

    I'm gonna be very happy if we clinch a spot. Man I hope the pats beat the jets and we beat the rats. A loss would mean an elimination for the jets then since we have a tiebreaker over them?

    If the Jets beat the Pats it won't be easy.

    You mean those same Jets that needed a gift to beat the Cowboys with Matt Cassell? Those Jets will handle the Pats "fairly easily?" They certainly have a shot, but I don't see it being easy for either team.

    It wouldn't eliminate them because in theory, they could still overtake the Chiefs (not likely) or tie Denver (and the Jets hold the tiebreaker with them).

    Also they have to also play the Bills and you KNOW if Rex has a shot to put out the team that canned him you can bet your bottom dollar that he will hit them with everything he has. That's why I think they don't win out.

    It would be great to clinch in Baltimore for sure.

    I think we are going to have to win out, I would like nothing
    better than to clinch in the Charm City, but I think Jets have a feeling
    also and aren't going away till the end.

    I don't think Rex is good enough to get revenge. I tend to think the Jets will be the ones with it at the end of the day.

    Having said that, Pats are still playing for a bye and a #1 seed. Belicheat with have his team ready to go.

    I'm sick and tired of the cheats. Every year they are good, always hogging the #1, #2 seeds. We are their bitches too. Would be nice to beat them at Gillette and also end Brady's career lol

    Easy only if no weapons . The Jets actually have 2 or 3 good DB'S they can use them to shut down Gronk if all the speedy WR'S are gone ...The Pats use the quick passing game to protect their poor OL .They used to use their run game to help as well. They may enter this game without either one of those and the Jets could T off on them..

    And if the Jets underestimate them they way you are, they will get creamed. One thing BB shows time and again is that he makes nobodies into somebodies. If they focus all their attention on stopping Gronk, Brady will find someone else to burn them. Not that they will stop Gronk anyway, no one does.

    The other factor is NE's defense, better than they get credit for, should be able to handle anything the Jets can throw at them.

    If we don't win out, we don't belong in the playoffs.

    Rex already beat them once though. Although they don't have Shady this time around though.

    Cheats will have their hands full with the Jets but by no means will it be an easy game. Billicheat has proven time and time again he can take average talent and make them a force to be reckoned with. Additionally Brady is so good that he can make any receiver look the second coming of Jerry Rice.

    We need to win our games and not worry one bit about what other teams are doing. Two games left and both are subpar opponents with crap records. If we lose either of these games we suck.

    I think the Steelers have come too far and done too much to just lose to a bad Ravens team and get knocked out of playoff contention. I don't expect this game to be incredibly easy but shame on the Steelers if they can't beat a Ravens team with Ryan Mallet at QB.

    The Pats aren't going to lose to the Jets with homefield advantage at stake. I just feel the Jets are long overdue to lose a game and this is finally going to be the week it happens. The Jets won't be officially eliminated unless they lose and either the Brpncos,Chiefs,or Steelers lose either.
