And while certain members take a minute to release from mannings jock, remember that when you are facing a constant 4 and 5 man spread, it's the DBs that matter particularly against someone with a real fast release. Why don't you look for running stats last night before and after pouncey went out cause seemed to me like their was a difference.
You're the one fixated with blaming the Jets' loss in the AFC Championship on the loss of a couple of guys and then turn around and act as if the Colts losing 20+ guys (IIRC, the actual number who missed the playoff game vs. the Jets was 23) was a non-factor. You can make the same argument that you did about any of the Colts' missing players. Allow me:
1. Did you know that 3 of the starting 4 members of the secondary were out for the Colts?
2. Did you know that of the 3 secondary guys out, only 1 had a backup who actually played? The other backups were also all knocked out.
3. Did you know that the Colts were missing 3 of their top 5 receivers?
4. The Colts' starting DT was out, along with at least one of their starting linebackers.
You can continue this idiocy and act as if the loss of two players is more signficant than losing half of your starting defense and nearly half of your starting offense, but no one is falling for it. And even at that, the Jets nearly lost and probably should have.
As others have said, you have no room to talk until the Jets win something of note. They haven't even managed to win their division, let alone their conference or Super Bowl. So keep talking, because if the Jets want to be mentioned in the same breath as the Colts, Steelers, and Patriots, they better start notching some big wins instead of bragging about beating teams missing 40%+ of their normal players, losing in the conference final, and then making excuses.
