I know how you feel - Michigan were god-awful when we came up against decent sides and our NFL season has ended on a deflating note. I'm looking forward to the baseball season next, though I don't expect much from the Tigers this year.

I'm off to the States in September/October next year to golf in Florida for a fortnight - I'm hoping that the fixtures might fall kindly and we get an away trip to Tampa or Miami whilst we're there. If not, I'll settle for travelling to watch the Bucs or Jaguars at home

I'm certainly going to miss the craic and discussions on this thread though - been a great addition to following the action this year!

agreed, really enjoyed it. Good discussion, game updates and a good laugh

Look guy's I'm not looking to P anyone off or anything but upon reflection of last night's game I've got to say;

Get it right up ye .

You guy's all seem to be good guy's but the love in is making me feel sick. Not only do I want but I expect Pats fans to want anyone but us to go on and win it. If the boot was on the other foot I know I'd be right behind the Pack right now. It's football and it's a rivalry (one of the best) so let's be having you .
Oh and incase anyone didn't know

JETS 28 Patriots 21.

We're going to the Championship game, your NO (Gatecrasher excepted).

[Dibben]

Could this finally be the Jets year?????

[James.]

Any Jets (or Giants) fans here listen to WFAN (New York Sports Radio)? It's been very, very, very good listening today!!



That Bart Scott interview is amazing - raw emotion. Couldn't stop a nosebleed haha.

[Haymaker]

**** the Jets.


Better now DH?

I'm not worked up because it could be worse - I remember back to the days when we were the worst team in the NFL and you constantly owned us. It was unbearable and as I was living in the States at the time, I got a fair few days of torture.

The way I see it, you guys HAD to get some success, even if it's going to be short-lived, or the rivalry would fizzle out a bit, as you lot would get so pissed off at being in our shadow

Never mind though, we'll be consoling you (and probably Gatecrasher) come Sunday

I'm afraid that's as close to vitriol as I can come, as I'm generally not worked up enough about the whole thing

[Sylar]

So how are we all feeling about our big games this weekend then folks?

Feeling less confident about our chances now than I did on Monday morning that's for sure.

I'm pretty sure you didn't have much confidence last week either though, or possibly prior to the Colts game.

The Jets continue to surprise people and there's no reason you can't get the win.

I actually thought to myself (I maybe said it in an earlier post) that if we could have navigated past you guys last week, I didn't see enough from the Steelers vs Baltimore to worry me - aye, they have a brutish defense, but if you can get to Roethlisberger with the same consistency as you got to Brady, and manage to keep Mendenhall and Ward quiet, you have a good chance.

Having said that, will they be able to maintain the same heightened energy as last week? Your guys put a lot into the Patriots game and I reckon they might find it hard to recreate that same intensity.

I'm feeling strongly that it will be a Chicago-Pittsburgh superbowl. The Bears have home field advantage, the fans will be crucial in a divisional rivalry matchup, and they have a more balanced game. Rodgers is the enigma; can he do what he did last week again? I cant see it at Soldier Field.

I'd like the Jets to win against the Steelers but i just cant see it.

[Dashing Bob S]

Go Packers! Team of the season. Crippled by injuries and written off, and come back to destroy the supposedly invincible Atlanta. A big ask to win at Solider Field in the Great Lakes derby, but it can be done, as those Bruins tend to bottle it at the big time. If Cutler can be stopped, we're there. The other game is between also rans.

I reckon you'll probably be right, though home field advantage in a divisional rivalry doesn't matter as the Jets proved last week.

Having seen both teams this year, I actually thought the Packers were much better than the Bears, as they took us damned close, a week after we obliterated Chicago at Soldier Field.

So long as it's Pittsburgh vs one of the 2, I don't really care which (I'm not feeling spiteful, but it seems to make DH feel better when there's some hate to spread around)

Now, now. Hate is such a strong word. As long as we play nice (beyond reason) it's all good .

Would love to see a Jets v Packers SB but can't see it. To be fair I reckon the Packers have a chance and should have no worries about going to Chigaco. Jets, well that's another story. If and when the Steelers stop our running game we going to have to relly on Sanchez making some big plays and I just can't see it .

[Sylar]

Great start for the Packers - Bears aren't able to get anywhere near Rodgers thus far and Cutler isn't offering much. Neither team has converted a 3rd down yet, as we near the 2 minute warning in the first half.

Packers looking good for this, early in the 3rd quarter - stopped Bears on a 3 and out and have possession on the Bears 8 yard line.

[Gatecrasher]

its a bit of a stalemate just now, but cant help but think we need a scoring drive to settle it a bit

[Gatecrasher]

why cant we get our offence going in this half? this aint good.

[Gatecrasher]

The Packers are going to the SUPERBOWL

[Calvin]

Go Pack Go!

Now, just the small task of the Jets to win for my ideal Superbowl!

Fingers crossed!
