Hopefully the Pats can recover the onside kick to make it interesting.

I dunno, seems like the INT early in the game spooked him.

Jets win 28-21. Awesome. Nothing I like more then seeing New England lose!!!!!!!

Also, congrats to them. I don't like them but you beat my team led by Peyton Manning and then Tom Brady in back to back weeks. Congrats.

Packers/Steelers is what I want now with a GB win.

Too many dropped passes as well. Not Brady's best game, but I thought he played better than Sanchez, and Manning last week.

[troutman]

That was unsatisfactory.

I still go back to the stupid fake punt.

Also, the Jets beat the NE O-Line, normally a strength for the Pats.

I agree with Simms - NE should have kicked deep when they made it 21-14.

The Jets talked the talk and they walked the walk. Congrats Jets fans.

Ha ha, I would take 4 kicks to nuts over a Bears-Jets superbowls.

not as bad as last year or in the super bowl vs the Giants

but I think the question of him being the most "clutch" QB of all time is in doubt again

no super bowls in 7 years and if you look at his last 4 playoff games they are all average or worse

[Diet Water]

Really didn't think the Jets could beat the Pats, here's hoping they surprise me again next weekend.

[Saint Troy]

Flubbed fake punt really altered the complexion of the game, put the Pats in a chase position against a quality defence, something they really didn't face all year. Brady looked completey frustrated all game, full credit to the Jets D.

Predictions for next week:

Jets @ Steelers
Packers @ Bears

I am taking the Packers by 7. I think Aaron Rodgers will prove to be too much.

In the other game, I have no idea..........I will make my pick in a day or two.

I forgot to make my prediction of the score for today.

I'll say:

Jets 28, Patriots 21.

Superbowl will be Bears vs. Steelers

Jets-Steelers is intriguing and not sure what to make of it... still, I think a Jets-Packers superbowl would be pretty interesting

Especially when you consider that brutal clock management in that 4th quarter drive. Almost as if the Jets bullied him into just running the ball.

[flames_1987]

Rex Ryan deserves a ton of credit for out coaching Belichick today.

I still don't understand the emphasis or attention put on trash talk during the week. Burress's comments leading up to the Superbowl got overblown, and so did the ones this week. If you need added motivation in an NFL playoff game, your team doesn't belong there anyways. If anything the Jets looked the more focus team on the field, while the Patriots seemed to get caught up running their mouths after the whistle.

As for next week, have to like the Jets blitz against that Steelers offensive line.

If I was you I would be too since every week you've talked about how bad the Jets are. Still not eating crow?

Honestly I don't think it came down to that. Ryan didn't have to outcoach Belichek. Look at their lineups the Jets are better at almost every position except QB (which Brady is >>>>>> Sanchez) and maybe DL although Shaun Ellis was a beast today. Ryan's problem in the last matchup is the same problem he had with Manning last year in that he couldn't get out of the Blitz all the time mentality. He did a good job letting his players' talent shine today.

I think if Crumpler catches that touchdown pass in the first its a whole differant feeling.

Oh well, it suck now as a fan, but they just didn't get it done.

I think I'll buy myself some new powder skis to make it feel better
