Dammit! They killed the last stream on justintv.

Ughhh, this sucks listening to the game on streamed ESPN, knowing it's about 3 plays behind.

And yet they were a couple of inches away from winning the game on that last play. Haha.

Lucky ass Jets. It's sad that it came down to needing a pass interference call on 4th down. Jets should be ashamed if their performance today.

lol

I'd rather the Jets face some adversity than just cruise through the regular season.

Obviously the Broncos were well prepared for this game, everything from the onside kick to the all the yards they picked up on the ground speaks to that.

And yet the Jets were able to win. That takes some guts. And the PI was legit. If Holmes's head isn't getting twisted like a soda cap he makes that catch.

As someone on the Jets MB put it:

1) Short week

2) West Coast game

3) High Altitude

4) Sanchez throws ball to other team

5) Officials put money on the broncos

6) Revis still not at 100%


=5-1

colts d is atrocious

This. The offense will be OK (and was for most of the night), but I don't think there is much hope for the Colts D. They really need to fire Larry Coyer and spend big bucks to bring in a top-flight DC.

The Redskins had ample opportunity in this game; the Colts almost gave it to them. If the Colts O played up to usual standards (no fumbles, no near INTs), this game would not have been close even with the incredibly bad Colts defense.

The Colts offense looks about as deadly as usual, though I wonder if their offensive line isn't a little more shaky than the last few years. The defense though... wow. There were multiple rushes where Ryan Torain got hit, grabbed, and proceeded to gain four more yards with Colt defenders hanging on. Their injuries in the secondary are clearly a concern, but the fact that they cannot stop the run is not a good sign.

The Redskins couldn't make good on multiple opportunities to really hurt the Colts. There were two sure INTs dropped and the botched final series. The only question I have is whether it was Colts' mistakes that nearly led to those INTs or if it was solid play by the Redskins.

Their stop on Manning's final possession was impressive and they seemed to have him figured out. Granted, it took three outstanding plays to force the incompletions.

Colts D....it's pretty bad. It reminded me of the Pat's D a year ago. I still do not think the Pat's D is that good, but they have a coaching staff that can cover up the holes just as long as the rookies do what they are supposed to do. The Colts D, on the other hand, dam...

The Colts D is hopeless as long as Larry Coyer is the DC. No way this team goes deep in the playoffs. Coyer is bad enough, but injuries to the secondary (particularly the safety position) and linebacker are killing them. The offense (with one exception, see below) will likely be fine but this D is the worst Colts D I remember.

And to BeauJangles -- yeah, the o-line is having issues. Some of it is due to injuries, but most of it, IMO, is Polian not drafting OL high. Manning has fumbled twice this year. I don't remember him ever fumbling before this year (I'm sure he did, though).
