You're crazy if you'd rather play Matt Schuab instead of Mark Sanchez.

And you're crazy if you rather play Thomas Jones and the jets d instead of arian foster and the texans d.

The Bungles laid down against the Jets. They had nothing to play for and the Jets had to win the game. If the Bengals had beaten the Jets they would have had to play Houston instead this week. They get to play an easier team that has shown all their cards the week before.
Point is that CRR is going to gameplan so Sanchez will be either handing the ball off or making easy read 'n' throws all game.

I don't think that you can just put someone else in and replace Welker without there being a dropoff. While I hate the Pats, Welker is not the biggest, fastest or quickest guy I have ever seen but he is really smart and savvy. He always manages to find a way to get open.

Trust me I hate the Pats more than anyone, and didn't mean to imply replacing Welker would be easy, but I don't think this is the game where not having Welker hurts them.

I see where you are coming from, I just think with the Ravens attacking D this is one game where Welker would be a true asset.

Pats are undefeated in the playoffs at home under Belichek and undeated at home this year. Should be a good game though.

Schaub, Foster plus Andre Johnson are scarier than Jones, Cotchery, Edwards, and a rookie QB in his first playoff game on the road. The Texans beat the Bengals convincingly in Cincinnati earlier this year too.

I'll obviously give the advantage of qb to Houston. The advantage at rb goes to NY and that's not even close. I think Cotchery and Edwards could outperform Johnson by himself. The reason i say the Jets are a tougher team is their d which is the best in the league. The Jets also beat them convincingly though you could make the argument that the Bengals had nothing to play for, but why leave Carson Palmer in the game that long if you aren't trying.

I think the Cincinnati team this Saturday will be way different than the one last week. At least that's what people here tell me. The Jets D is great but the Bengals have faced many tough defenses and won. Even with the advantage at RB, the Texans offense is way better. In the playoffs, I'd be more worried about a proven QB than some rookie who threw 20 INTs.

I understand what you mean. The Jets will take the game out of Sanchez's hands though. In the playoffs playing d and running the ball is the key. Am i guaranteeing a Jets win? No. I just think they are a tougher match up than the texans especially when they can put on player on ochocinco and take him completely out of the game.

Yeah I think the Jets can win if they're able to do that but the Bengals have had many close games so Sanchez may have to make some plays. Cincy's D is pretty good too so they'll dare him to beat them. I'm just thinking Cincy would rather not play Houston since they lost soundly to them at home while at least they could tell themselves they didn't try against the Jets.

Are you predicting the Jets to win though? I think the Bengals win it at the end of the game.

Yeah I think the Jets win. They just seem to be more physical than the Bengals. I do agree that Sanchez will probably have to make some plays for them to win though. The possibility of him losing the game for them is very real (which has happened about 3 or 4 times this year).
