As for the Jets: Cromartie, Revis, Holmes, Edwards, Cotchery, Ellis, Green, Tomlinson. That's a lot of talent, and it doesn't come cheap in the NFL. The Jets' offseason was filled with free agent signings and contract extensions to some of their biggest players (they even got Revis his $46 million) all to get them to this point. In Ryan's mind, playoffs was a given. We watched him tell his players this every week on Hard Knocks.
Regardless today came as a surprise, though a pleasant one. I watched Brady all season, shredding defense after defense, exploiting holes and laying the ball into all sorts of coverage, for all sorts of touchdowns. The Pats were a machine.
But sometimes you can't beat a team that wants it as badly as the Jets do. Even Sanchise managed to sparkle, setting a record 3 TDs, while managing to tally up 5 playoff wins, a Jets QB best. When the Jets play good, they look great.
Superbowl? Maybe. Sadly, the Steelers are thinking the same thing.
