Jameson says:
lol
Jeff says:
i'm on the bandwagon man
i'm on the bandwagon like Poland rooting for the U.S. in WWII
Jameson says:
like d-bags for Philip Rivers
bro they're going to get pummeled next week
Jeff says:
nah dude i've got them going to to Super Bowl!
Jets-Saints baby
for three reasons:
1. Mark Sanchez
2. it makes the least amount of sense, and that's like NFL policy now
3. it's the least appealing match-up, which Super Bowls always are
Jets-Saints write it down
Jameson says:
no way here's why
1. If Nate Kaeding doesn't miss 3 field goals, the Jets lose that game
2. If it's 13-0 at half instead of 7-0, psychologically there is no way the Jets come back and they would have had to ask Marky Mark to throw more and there would have been more picks down just 7-0, they were able to stay with the gameplan
3. Peyton Manning will not be held to 7 points in a half
4. The Jets will have to score 20 plus to win
5. Norv Turner will not be involved
Jeff says:
really?
did you see the Colts offense on Saturday??
Jameson says:
yeah
Jeff says:
they were horrible
absolutely shut down by Baltimore
and the Jets D is statistically better in almost every category than the Ravens'
Jameson says:
yeah but the Chargers ran on first down way to much and ended up in 3rd and long situations the whole game which is exactly what the Jets wanted
the Colts will attack them in first down
and did you see how wide open Gates was all game?
Dallas Clark is going to have a field day
Jeff says:
is that why they held the starters to just 15 points when they beat them in Dec?
even before they pulled their starters the jets were containing the Colts
and Clark your boy had 57 yards, no TD's
plus since the Denver game the Colts have not been on at all
the Jets just dominated the hottest team in football in San Diego
they can't be stopped!
Jameson says:
ok let's look at that first game
the Colts were up 10-3 before Brad Smith an back a kickoff return
Then they were up 15-10 when they pulled the starters
the Jets proceeded to get a defensive TD because Painter sucked
Then Marky Mark only got 10 points off the Colts 2nd string defense
So...you take out the defensive TD and the kickoff return and the Jets only scored 13 points
not enough to win on Sunday
Jeff says:
lol but that's like saying "take away its engine and its wheels and a mustang is really just a piece of scrap metal"
the Jets ARE their defense/special teams
that's what they win on
13 offensive points Sunday wins
Jameson says:
no, they didn't need to score a defensive TD or special teams TD Sunday because Nate Kaeding sucked
Jeff says:
well i would argue their second TD Sunday was a defensive TD wouldn't' you?
Jameson says:
true
Jeff says:
i understand that every sane, rational person will pick the Colts
but that's exactly why i'm picking the jets
Jameson says:
you're insane and irrational?
Jeff says:
yes, but also because it's the NFL, and that's what happens in the NFL
plus... I LOVE THE JETS!
Rex Ryan was right - they should be favored in every game they play
Jameson says:
no way bro
Jeff says:
lol idk man answer me this...
do you think Kevin will be a good Commish of the baseball league?
wait, no i mean
did you think the Ravens had a shot to win Saturday?
Jameson says:
I did, but upon further review, Joe Flacco had been so bad that I totally overestimated their chances against the best team in the NFL
wait a minute sounds like someone else
Jeff says:
my fantasy team?
Jameson says:
no the Jets. and your fantasy team.
Jeff says:
yeah but Flacco completed four passes last week against the Pats yet you overlooked that because
A. they had Ray Rice and
B. their defense was dominant right?
Jameson says:
yeah, I think Rex and Brian have a done a fantastic job calling plays for Sanchez
but look at his yardage the last two weeks it's terrible
Jeff says:
yeah but it's still like 400% better than Flacco's
Jameson says:
and you take away that one long run from Greene Sunday and they score 10 pts mostly due to field position their D gave them
Jeff says:
right, but that's my point
you gave Baltimore a chance because they're Baltimore and they win games ugly even if their QB is average
but you won't give the same credit to the Jets
Jameson says:
and I was wrong, so I wont make that mistake again
I think the Colts will win the Super Bowl
and I think when we look back we'll all wonder why we didn't recognize how great they were because they rested their starters for those two weeks
like when Denver lost two straight in 1998 going into the playoffs
everyone forgot we were 14-0!!!!!!
Jeff says:
yeah
Jameson says:
then we cruised through the playoffs (including the Jets) and killed the Falcons in the playoffs
and looking back they were probably one of the best teams of the decade
Jeff says:
so... Colts-Falcons SB?
Jameson says:
I think so
Jeff says:
Jamaal Anderson back in at RB? Dirty Birds?
Jameson says:
I really like Matt Ryan
Matt Ryan actually threw for more yards yesterday than Sanchez
Jeff says:
lol
idk why you're hating on Mark
and besides, this Colts team is not the 1998 Broncos
their QB is not as good
their O-line isn't as good
they don't have a RB even close to T.D.
they aren't as healthy (their best defensive player, Bob Sanders, is out)
and their head coach literally gets his play calls from Tecmo Bowl
so i don't buy the Denver comparison - maybe with the saints, but not the colts
Jameson says:
fair enough
Jeff says:
either way you've got to pick away from whatever seems most likely in the NFL these days
i literally thought about it, decided Colts-Vikings seemed like clearly the best choices to win this week
so that settled it, i'm picking Jets-Saints
plus, I might have mentioned, I love the Jets
Jameson says:
what do you think about the Saints-Vikings game? will it be close?
Jeff says:
yeah that's tough... i'm not sure cause i do think the Vikes defense will challenge Brees and Co. but the Vikes are terrible on the road
Jameson says:
it kinda reminds me of the Falcons/Vikings game from 1999
when Andersen missed the kick
only the Vikings are the Falcons this time
the favorite had a high flying pass offense the Falcons had an old QB who could make plays but had a great run game
but I think I'll go with the Saints
Jeff says:
wait, so the Vikings are like the old Falcons
and the Saints like the old Vikings
which you didn't like the old Vikings
but you do like the new Vikings
so you're going with the old Vikings over the new Vikings?
so... the Saints?
Jameson says:
yeah old Vikings
the old Vikings should have won that game with that field goal
so the Saints will win on a last second field goal
or just blow the Vikings out
either way, I'm going with my boy Brees
Jeff says:
alright
Jameson says:
but yeah I think Kevin will be fine
Jeff says:
haha
