I wouldn't hate the Pats if their fans didn't also root for the Celtics and the Red Sox.

I'm still loling about Brady throwing a pick. Jets can be in this game if they get pressure without having to send the entire team.

You know what's a farce? This 27 straight game home winning streak for Brady. Dude lost at home last year in the playoffs. Why shouldn't that count?

Jets going to the Cal playbook right now. Can't say it's a bad idea.

Sanchez Flacco'd it.

JETS JETS JETS

Probably a good decision by Sanchez there. His receiver would've been killed.

Brady is not feeling too comfortable in the pocket and thats a good thing. I'm sure the Steelers are hoping and praying for the Jets to win the game. They want NO part of NE.

^^truth. My buddy (steelers fan) was talking about that yesterday.

I wouldn't hate the Pats if their fans didn't also root for the Celtics and the Red Sox.

Truer words have never been spoken. Perfectly put.

That said I hate these Jets. I keep trying to make comparisons with them and our Bad Boys so I can root for them, but they just make it too hard for me.

same (re: Steelers wanting Jets over Pats)

give me the fat boy

Jets can go into Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers. Did it about a month ago.

But yes, if I was a Steelers fan I'd rather have the Jets too.

I'm kind of glad to see Braylon step up and be the kind of receiver everyone thought he'd be.

Revis is so fucking good. Wow

Jets D has been crazy good. Sacking Brady and giving him no open receivers when they don't go all out for him.

I'd be shocked though if the Pats didn't adjust in the second half though.

I heard Pats players received word that Belichick is leaving to be the defensive coordinator at UM. Blame their struggles on being distracted.

I just lol'd at that one. Maybe takes Brady with him for the QBs.

Cam Camoron to be the waterboy.

Jets' makeup is similar to the Ravens though. They can easily implode in the 2nd half, too.

They sure stood tough that series.

So did the Ravens on the Steelers' first series of the 2nd half.

(the more I rip on them, the less it stings)

McCourty will make the difference making play.

McCourty will make the difference making play.

Great point, Vinny.

Missed the begining of the 2nd half. I just saw the Jets punt, but was that the first drive of the second half or did the Jets stop Brady already?

Jets stopped Brady already.

Was that the first long ball Brady has thrown?

Tuck rule! Tuck rule!

Tuck rule?

BLUE BALLS! BLUE BALLS!

Jets stopped Brady already.

Thanks Vinny...and thats a great point.

Pats are playing like shit.

Thanks Vinny...and thats a great point.
Thanks man. I know alot about football so if there's anything else you're confused about, just ask. I'm kind of an expert.

Sooner or later, Jets D is going to crack a little. We gotta get some points on this drive.

Pats are playing like shit.

I don't disagree but I think it's more about how good the Jets are playing right now.

Thanks man. I know alot about football so if there's anything else you're confused about, just ask. I'm kind of an expert.

I heard you're a pretty big deal.

Have we ever had an Aks Vinny thread?

In a roundabout way.

Vinny,

The 2012 NBA Draft is supposed to be a really good one, isn't it?

Vinny,

The 2012 NBA Draft is supposed to be a really good one, isn't it?
I think so. it's hard to tell sometimes, lots can happen. It could be.

Why has it taken the Pats this long to go to the long ball?

Missed tackles. They can be killer.

^ great point

Vinny, why has it taken the Pats this long to go to the long ball?

We have a ball game.

Why has it taken the Pats this long to go to the long ball?
The Jets have been getting so much pressure, I think Brady wanted to a few times but the plays never got a chance to develop.


Next?

^ Eggs act Lee.

V, if the Jets don't come away with at least a FG on this next drive, should we hit the panic button?

We've had promising starts to drives, but we just can't sustain them.

V, if the Jets don't come away with at least a FG on this next drive, should we hit the panic button?
If I'm Rex Ryan, my panic button's already been hit. This isn't the Baltimore Ravens they're dealing with, it's the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS!

Vinny, by panic button does TBro mean switch allegiances to the Pats?
There's really no telling when the best time to switch allegiances is. Ideally, wait until you're sure the other team is going to take the lead then hop aboard.

Bulls: contenders or pretenders?

SWEET HOLY MOLY! What a play by da jets.

And that's why they call him THE SANCHIZE!

Bulls: contenders or pretenders?
Let's just say, it wouldn't shock me if they made some waves in the playoffs. I'm not about to give them the trophy quite yet, but if they get it, they'll know what to do with it. If they don't win, it'll only be because the other team won.

Phenomenal catch.

What a catch. That was really something.

Now that's what I like to call.....SAAAAAAN-Tastic!

LMAO @ Vinny. This dude cracks me up!

V, is it time for the Pats to hit the panic button?

V, what can we do if we were expecting to see 60 Minutes?

LMAO @ Vinny. This dude cracks me up!

V, is it time for the Pats to hit the panic button?
If I'm Bill Belichek, my panic button's already been hit. This isn't the Baltimore Ravens they're dealing with, it's the NEW YORK JETS!

V, what can we do if we were expecting to see 60 Minutes?

Be patient. Very patient.

Pats playing like they're up 10 points.

Branch Housh'd it a bit.

Can't find the twitter thread. So:Just put my first beer in the freezer.

Vinny does this game give Ryan a foot in the door to the AFC Championship?

Pats playing like they're up 10 points.

I agree. Jets are playing like their season rides on this game and the Pats look like its just another game.

Vinny does this game give Ryan a foot in the door to the AFC Championship?
If he's lucky, he might even get two feet in there. It could be in the rub.

Pats are playing like shit.

Brady on the verge of losing his 3rd straight playoff game. Just saying.

That was crazy!

CROMATIE!

Sorry Tom. My Jets won!

Ballgame. Any other sports on TV tonight?

Lol @ the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. I love it!

Did you see Braylon's back flip? Holy shit.

Did you see Braylon's back flip? Holy shit.
Yeah, Braylon has probably the best backflip in the game.

I lol'd hard at 310.

It would be quite a feet for Sanchez to beat Manning, Brady and Rotty.

It would be quite a feet for Sanchez to beat Manning, Brady and Rotty.

Really nice.

Did anyone hear Bart Scott? That was about as entertaining as it gets.

I"m watching Deion, Mooch and Rich. Also, muting when M Irvin speaks.

NFL Network usuallyhas all the pressers...damn...that all I tune in for.

Cromartie is a great family man.

Ugh, I don't really care for any of the teams in this thing. Bears and Packers? Division rivals. Jets? Annoying side show...Sanchez is overrated and can't hold Stafford's jock compared to what experts said their rookie year. Steelers? Not a fan of Big Ben, they've won enough lately. I'll watch, but don't really care who wins.

+1

My Jets v Steelers

Rotty won't go down like Brady did or Manning. Just touch those guys and they go down. Brady is that classic hop hop throw QB. My Jets had that timing down. Ben isn't that easy. That said. Fuck Ben. If my Jets can cover the way 'we' did in the last 2 games. BEN WILL GO DOWN.

"Big" BEn went down, what, 6 times last game? And he won't be dealing with the Baltimore Ravens again, he'll be dealing with the NEW YORK JETS!

LOL Thats pretty funny. Thanks Chris.

I dunno if I'd call him overrated. Overhyped? Probably.

I haven't been watching ESPN, so I don't know what they're saying about him right now.

Which high draft pick QB isn't hyped? They all are. But the can't carry Staffords jock, is pretty damn funny to me.

OVERhyped

^ oh.

I know why they do it the way that they do, but one game today and one game tomorrow would be nice.

There is sooooooooooooooooo nothing on the tube, as far as sports goes, that I might actually watch my first pregame show in years. I don't remember it being to this bad years ago.

Go Jets, go Pack!

It'll be an uphill battle for the Jets but hoping so. Pack>Bears fo sho. The only thing there is if Rogers gets his head crunched again.

Watching Rambo III

The Ravens suck and they should've (/fanboy) beaten the Steelers. The Jets, being a good team, are going to win by, like, 45.

The Bears can't win. I can't handle that right now.

Cutler throws at least 3 picks today, guaranteed.

I DON'T WANT TO WORK!
I JUST WANT TO BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAAAAY!

This is going to be a blowout.

Pulling for Bears, but it doesn't look good.

Love the cold.

Something you Lions fans will figure out someday (maybe, LOL) is that when your team is still alive in the playoffs, you always need to look down the road to the most favorable matchup.

/heel

Pulling for Bears, but it doesn't look good.
Go fuck yourself.

Too busy for that today.

I'd be scared to play the Pack too if I was a Steelers player or fan.

WHAT'S RAY LEWIS DOING TODAY?

(Should be doing time)

I'm rooting for the Packers big time. I don't think any person with any responsibility for what happened to the Lions should ever have any success again. Fuck Marinelli. Nice guy sure, but its nice that he's got Peppers and Urlacher instead if the shit Tampa retreads he filled the Lions defense with.

^this

Shawshank Redemption was on so I didn't watch the pregame, but caught a second or two of it where they were trying make this the biggest rivalry in sports. Its like whichever two teams are playing are hyped as the biggest rivalry.

These 2 teams have played each other a ton of times, but that doesn't make it a top rivalry in all of sports.

WHAT'S RAY LEWIS DOING TODAY?

(Should be doing time)

Not raping anybody!

U SCARED BRO?

If he killed everyone on that offense, it'd be completely justified though.

Putting in a little Dad Guy time (watching Despicable Me) in anticipation of game #2.

This is how you play the game.

Shields made a 'football play' right there. itisunderreviewthough.

Might have saved Rodgers a lil after the pic he threw.

HAPHTYME already.

Aaron Rodgers "Ya ain't seen nothin yet...ba ba ba baby"

SWEET HOLY MOLY!

Cutler is out though, Colling to QB.

NOT a great play by Rodgers, thats fo sho.

It's not like you see the trainers working on Cutler or anything. Whaa my knee hurts. You're one game away from the Super Bowl you pussy.

Bears offense make the Ravens offense look competent.

This game is beyond ugly.

Urlacher is the only reason Chicago's even in this game.

Caleb Hanie in now, lol.

Bears D has played brilliantly.

MY Pack to the SB!

BJ with a pic six. lol

Sorry Glan, not rooting against the Steelers 'cause I'm bitter (I do dislike all the Steelers fanboys on the internets though), I just want to see new blood.

I hate to go against my boy Rush L, but I'll be rooting for the Pack over Rush's Steelers.

I want Woodson to win a ring, so that these "haters" will have no choice but to say he's a HOFer. Apparently, rings are the only thing that matters to some peeps.

Woodson gets beat as I say that.

That was frickin freaky.

I thought this bizatch was ovah.

Call me crazy, but if Hanie leads Da Bears to victory there just might be a "QB controversy" in Chicago.

What do you think, Glan? Hanie to start over Cutler in the SB?

If Cutler's healthy, it'd be him, IMO.

Cars. And freedom.

hanie is a putzing fagat

hanie is a putzing fagat
:this:

WOULD CINCY BE DUMB ENOUGH TO TRADE PALMER FOR CUTLER?

These NFL aholes didn't even get me back in time for the 1st down. They're all money hungry bizatches.

Props to Todd Collins for staying in the league as long as he has, by the way. 15 years?

Game.

Lovie should be fired immediately.

balgame

Lovie should be fired immediately.

Yeah, fuck you Lovie Smith!! Now the Steelers will have to play the Packers!!

Julius Peppers smiling after the game. IT'S A WORK!! :WWE:

You don't think he mismanaged that?

My god, Nick Collins was pathetic on that Earl Bennett TD play.

You don't think he mismanaged that?

He did, but I'm not mad.

My Packers are going to the SB.

It's going to come down to Antonio f'in Brown making a big play again, I bet.

Marino has Jets 20-16, I have the Jets 20-16.

just a coincidence.

You don't think he mismanaged that?

What'd he do?

Rex in the AFC Championship game for the 3rd straight year.

I think this one will be charming

Martina McBride? Wasn't that the one that was banging Rocket?

Lil' Ben's best bet is to throw at Cromartie as often as he can. Whines will be a non-factor.

Rex in the AFC Championship game for the 3rd straight year.

I think this one will be charming

Quite a feet.

I still disagree with Ravens fans that think Rex should be the Ravens HC, though.

It looks like the Ravens are losing lotsa coaches and stuff this year.

Why didn't the Jets hit him there?

Steelers OLine is banged up, iirc.

I could see this one starting out like the last game. 14-0 Steelers

That was a helluva first drive.

Steelers DBs sure like to commit penalties, huh?

Pro Bowl. Garbage. Don't give me this "it's football!" shit.

^ I'd rather watch NCAA BBall.

Picked off...amazing.

I don't see how the hell the refs stopped Ben from running a play there. I mean, I want the Jets to win, but I'm a fan of the game more than that. That was ridiculous.

Where's the run defense from the Jets?

Jets D is gettin tore up from the floor up.

This is pathetic.

Defeat is afoot for the Jets squaad.

http://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/f7r1g/wtf_jets_mark_sanchez_picks_his_nose_and_wipes/

We are still in it, but man do we need to fix up this run D!

And get some points.

This shit's over.

DEFEET

Jets will somehow put the outcome of this game in question. ^ In other words...No its not over...hopefully.

It's over. This isn't the Ravens they're playing, it's the Steelers.

All kinds of awful.

sanchez looks crunk

Sweet Holy Moly!

Sanchez is hurt, PUT IN HANIE

Couldn't the Ravens have been given a rematch instead?

So I can't wait to see the TOP for the first half, cuz the Jets D had to have been on the field 95% of the first half.

But I did tell you guys my Steelers had a good D and a good Offense too.

Go Pack!

I think the Jets didn't realize they were going to have to stand toe-to-toe with the Steelers. Having an awesome coverage will work for the Patriots because they don't just try to jam the football down your throat. No run D and those swing passes to the RB are there every play. They should have known the Steelers were going to come at them hard.

12 yards, lol

Only a 3 possession game.

3 sanchez possessions equals about 30 possessions, IIRC

Enjoying the game, fellas?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Just scouting the teams to see who takes on my Pack. Looking like the Steelers so far.

Enjoying the game, fellas?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Remember, you called last week's game over at halftime.

I like the Steelers chances here, just slightly worse than Green Bay's, but still much better than Bumamore's!

This kid, Mark Sanchez. Let me tell you, this kid is a gamer.

Damn, it would be nice to have a guy like Holmes on my team. Someone to stretch the field.

Ike Taylor, you ain't covering Derrick Mason anymore bro.

Pick away from having a really interesting game.

Roethlisberger putting it in the air is good for the Jets.

If the Steelers can run the ball here, obviously, its over.

Now the Jets are stopping the run...at least on this series.

Steelers are going to need to play a FULL 48 MINUTES in the Superbowl.

Remember, you called last week's game over at halftime.

This is true. I was there. I remember it like it was last week.

THIS KID MARK SANCHEZ

Rather have him than Flacco.

There's that Hellen Keller dude.

That's game.

Sucks, I was hoping they'd make it interesting.

It is interesting.

DAmn, these cats are trying to give the game to the Jets.

Steelers have something against putting together a complete game in these playoffs.

Braylon stepping up.

Nobody seems to want to get out of bounds.

But they did get in the ez.

Sanchez is the fucking man

He can't hold Staffords jock.

HAY GLAN, U NERVOUS?

Like I said, Antonio Brown.

Jets are doing pretty damn good for giving the Steelers the entire 1st half.

Thats game if the Steelers don't seriously screw up.

^ after the 1st down.

Did Bart Scott play today?

Jets start was just too bad. That's why you're supposed to play a FULL 60 MINUTES... PIT should do the same.

I think the Jets O is slightly better than the Ravens???

Yeah, and the Jets O doesn't even COMPARE to the Pack's.

And the Lions prolly lost to the eventual SB winner by 6 pts over 2 games. And the Pack cheated us both games.

The Lions can compete with any team in the league.

The only team that can stop the Detroit Lions is the Detroit Lions.

<-- Homer but next year we will fo sho.

ISIH

^ I Saw Ingrown Hair?

Glan's cool people, but just about all the other Steelers fans on the net are annoying as fuck.

The Packers must win.

Rex "You gotta give them credit. They pushed us around in the 1st half"

He was pretty respectful...overall.

Rex "We need to get that 1st bye week. We were not fresh. But you gotta give them credit"

Rex has kind of grown on me. He's a loudmouth in the "right" way I guess.

I have no team to root for in a worse way than when it's just not your team in the SB. I hate the Steelers, but I don't want to listen to all the GB fans around here either.

So much better than it having been all the Bears fans.

Only had a couple "congratulations" PMs in my inbox this morning.

I'm really surprised by the lack of class with the rest of you.

Congratulating fans is beyond gay.

So much better than it having been all the Bears fans.

Yeah, yesterday was a victory in that sense.

Congratulating fans is beyond gay.

It's just common courtesy amongst webros.

Cutler is a pussy. Biggest game of career and he can't find a way to gut it out? Unless he risked additional long term damage you have to be in there. I guess we'll know after MRI today.

While my initial impression was the same, as a guy with knee problems I kind of understand. It's a real wonky thing to have it feel like it's going to go out on you... and I constantly have to remind myself that my doc told me mine was structurally fine. Now I don't make millions to throw a ball for another 30 minutes either, so that's a different story, but it's a helluva lot weirder than a really bad bruise or a different jacked up joint.

This could easily turn into a money debate with athletes too. He can already retire and live a pretty nice life. Maybe he just "likes" football, and maybe he doesn't care about the Bears. It sucks as a fan to think like that because you would rather a guy risk further injury to get your die hard team to the Superbowl, but most modern athletes aren't sharing that mind set. The ultimate example is still Jamarcus Russell IMO. If you gave me 30 mil, I'd probably get fat and try not to get my ass kicked 16+ times a season too.

And drink purple drank.
