Can you imagine how stupid that coach is going to look if the Jets pull out a win?  He will be the bonehead of the year.  In my opinion he already is.  There is no way he should have thrown away the opportunity to go undefeated the whole way.  This team could have rewritten NFL history.  They could have set the ultimate record.

So, as much as I want Indianapolis to win this game, I won’t be completely disappointed if they lose.  At least then the Colts’ coach will be exposed for making the bonehead call of the year.  With the way the Jets’ defense is playing, anything is possible.  This is yet another reason why a team should try to win every single game and not take anything for granted.

I thought for sure that the Jets were going to blow their opportunity to make the playoffs.  Instead they blew out the Bengals in a game that Cincinnati can only refer to as a humiliating defeat.  I personally hold a very high opinion of the Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer.  I think the guy has all the talent in the world.  He is an incredibly accurate passer.

But, these guys were not ready even for basic blitz packages that the Jets used.  The Bengals should have been able to make the Jets pay dearly for blitzing all the time.  They never did though.  Most of the time Palmer threw a bad pass.  The times when he threw a great pass, his receivers refused to catch it.  If you didn’t know better, you might think that they were trying to lose the game.  How utterly humiliating.

Well, we shall see for sure whether or not the Jets are for real when they travel to Ohio for a rematch in round one of the AFC Wild Card playoffs.  I can’t believe that the Bengals are a 3 point favorite going into this game after having been beaten like rented mules this past Sunday.  There is no way I would touch this game from a betting perspective.  It could go either way.  Right now you would have to think the Jets have an advantage.

This Bengals team was not even close to being ready to play the Jets.  Poor coaching maybe?  That is my guess.  How could you lay an egg like this heading into the playoffs?  Is Cincinnati ever going to be really good?

They say that defense wins chamionships.  This Jets team definitely has a good defense.  They could make these playoffs very interesting.

Peyton Manning never gets hurt.  Was the coach really that worried about an injury?  Come on.

How many opportunities will an NFL team really have to go totally undefeated?  If I was a Colts fan, I would be raging mad right now.  Now I am just mad because they gave an easy win to the Jets who I would have like to have seen lose.  Seeing other AFC east teams lose makes me happy.

Thanks Caldwell.  You bonehead.

It was ugly. There were ambulances everywhere and police all around. It looks like this kid really screwed up. Channel 7 had a pretty good report on it.

This Brandon McLean kid is in serious trouble for this. What a retard this kid is. He has ruined the next god knows how many years of his life. Damn fool. All just because he got drunk and could not control himself.

Now we all have done stupid things at 19 that involved alcohol. But not running people over with a vehicle. I feel bad for the person who bought the alcohol. They are going to be in court also. They are going to be sued for personal injury right along with the McLean kid. Both the alcohol buyer and this Brandon kid are going to be in the poor house for many years to come. Can you say bankruptcy?

This will be a public announcement to people in their early twenties who party with kids that are too young to legally drink. If you buy minors alcohol, this could happen to you.

I can see all the local personal injury lawyers salivating at a chance to get a piece of this pie. You can bet that those lawyers will find some way to blame Ralph Wilson stadium for this too. They will be sued too. Did I mention I hate lawyers. Fricken vultures. Leeching off society.

The mood of people on Monday mornings is subject to the performance of the Buffalo Bills the day before. If the Bills won, everyone is generally in a good mood. If the Bills lost, everyone is grumpy and irritable. If this isn’t brand loyalty I don’t know what is. People care so much about that football team that they let it influence things that it really should have absolutely no affect on whatsoever.

I sure am glad the Bills beat the Buccaneers lat night. Otherwise this would definitely be a slow week.

I love you honey. Shut up! Wham! Take that! Why can’t we just win one of these games we aren’t supposed to win? Shut up woman! Wham!

McKelvin, how can you fumble there? How? You know they are going to try to strip the ball. It is the only way they can win. How can you let them do it? Why didn’t you have two hands on the ball? Why McKelvin? Why? Why didn’t Bobby April remind him to put two hands on the ball and avoid a fumble at all costs? Just go down.

Damn it!
