Wild Card playoffs: New York Jets (#5) @ Cincinnati Bengals (#4)

  • justincredible
    Who wins?

    Game is slated at 4:30pm on Saturday. Kinda dumb that they give these two teams the least amount of time to prepare after flexing them to the 8:30 game last night but no big deal.

    I am definitely not expecting a repeat of last nights game but I think the Jets defense might be a little too much for the Bengals offense at the moment. The Jets D is playing better than I have ever seen them play before. I don't think the Jets put up many points but I think they'll get enough to win.

    Jets 17-10

    Bengals score a defensive TD.

    If Peko, Geathers and Crocker are healthy, the Bengals have a chance. Without them, the Bengals have six of their 11 opening defensive starters out with injury (Odom, R Williams, Rey Rey, Peko, Geathers and Crocker). That's just too many injuries for a good but not great team to overcome.

    Well, I was confident about this game, but now not so much. At this point it really looks like all the injuries have caught up with the Bengals.

    I do not think next weeks game will be a repeat of 37-0 thrashing, but I don't see how the Bengals turn it around completely. They make it a much closer game, but the Jets win.

    I don't see either team breaking 20 points next week but I agree with the sentiment.

    I voted for the Jets because I think they are the team with the most momentum. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets lose because the push for the playoffs might have drained them some. I would think it will be much closer, but if the Jets get an early lead, they'll tee off on defense, start taking more chances and could pull away.

    I dont care what you guys are saying, you are giving Cincy way too much credit! That offense is stinking it up right now and the D is beaten up! They Jets will only need 17 to win this one. I am a Bengals fan, but that O Line last night was beaten like a red headed step child early and often! If the Bengals cant run, they cant win and right now they cant run!

    Echo what's been said...
    Last nights game was an abberation, but unfortunately I don't see the Bengals pulling this one out against the run defense of the Jets. Chad's woofing will be a non-factor as well; the air game has been hit and miss all year.

    21-10 Jets.

    BTW: Nick Mangold with some significant face-time on national TV after the game last night!

    Justin's top two moments in his life:

    1. Nick Mangold's TV appearance last night.
    2. Getting married.

    In that order.

    Oh....Jets 20-10

    Even my wife would agree.

    I think the Bengals will rebound at home. They could care less about Sun night to a degree. I do think the Jets played alot of their cards with those Brad Smith wildcat formations. There will be no secret when he takes the snap this time around. Although the D being banged up I think they can hold their own although they need to tackle 100x better on Saturday. I look for Cedric to get close to 100 and the Bengals to pull out a squeaker over the Jets by a count of 24-20.

    True story. For Christmas my husband orders me an Ochocinco jersey. (Yes, I love the Bengals and Chad that much.) It doesn't come in and he's getting all ticked at the guy. He's at the firehouse last night and about halftime I called him and told him I would like to cancel the order for my Ochocinco jersey. I can't believe how embarrassing that was last night. I think I had a dream about Nick Mangold. ;)

    The Bengals haven't looked good for about a month now.I don't expect it to change in a week.

    Chad also said after talking so much leading up to this past Sundays game he decided to fly out Firemen Ed to the Playoff game as well VIP Style lol.... Great Gesture Ocho

    Ocho should worry about performing on the field instead of entertaining you fans. Revis embarrassed him and he knows it.

    Bengals should be able to compete against the run better this week. They'll be amped up at home and they'll also load up forcing Sanchez to beat them.

    However, the Bengals don't seem to have the same chemistry on offense that they used to have. I think they'll continue to struggle moving the ball against the Jets.

    I'll say Jets win 13-10 in a good ballgame to open the postseason
