The Jets in that stretch, dispatched San Diego, on the road, badly, Beat Miami, NE, and Green bay....Badly.
The Jets are playing Far better football, at this minute, and are HEALTHY.
The Colts Defensive Line is in for a long Afternoon tomorrow, and P.S. have you seen the NY weather report ? Not exactly good news.
Only one of those teams the Jets beat was a playoff team. And Green Bay isn't really scaring anyone the way Favre has been throwing ints. They also lost to Da Bears, a real stinker. The Colts in that stretch beat Philly, Denver and Browns, two of which are playoff teams. The teams that beat the Colts, Tenn and the Giants are both going to the playoffs. With regard to the weather, bring on the bad stuff. The Colts played Denver in a driving snowstorm and beat them. The Colts also have a sack artist in Dwight Freeney who is better than any DL the Jets have. Mr. Freeney will playing against Jets left Tackle Jason Fabiani who certainly doesn't have much athleticism. He will have a long day dealing with Freeney's incredible speed. Freeney will have at least two sacks despite the fact that the Jets will have a tight end and on some plays also a running back helping to block Freeney. Guaranteed the Jets will have to have two and three players blocking Freeney all day long.
I'm not here to say it's a lock that the Colts will beat the Jets, either team could win this one. The Colts are very vulnerable to the short pass and have not had much of a running game all year long. Edge has never regained the form he had before the knee injury last year. I would, however, rather be playing the Jets than any other AFC playoff team.
