*Tisk Tisk* - Since his team barely creeped their way into the playoffs, Rex Ryan has become the brunt of a joke as he continues to fail at getting the memo. In a New York Jets press conference on Thursday, Ryan took the podium to answer questions. After being asked what he thought about being the biggest underdogs in the playoffs, Ryan replied, "Biggest underdogs?, I wasn't aware of that. I think we should be the favorites to win the whole tournament." WRONG! Coach, I like your confidence heading into Saturday's game against Cincy, but since you declared your team dead and out of playoff contention in week 15, the only thing you should be favored for is the award for the biggest clown of the league.
I can't wait 'til his press conference after the Bengals actually put their starting squad on the field tomorrow night in Cincinnati. Bengals QB Carson Palmer hasn't had as much success as he had in the first half of the season, but running-back Cedrick Benson should be plenty for the Jets stellar defense to deal with. & For the Bengals sake, let's hope Chad Ochocinco is as healthy as he says he is. Otherwise they'll have to prey the defense comes out guns blazing. The Jets own the series record over Cincinnati, 14 games to 7, with New York having won 7 of the last 8 meetings. But Ocho & friends plans to put an end to all of that.
How 'bout them Cowboys!? - Since the mid-90's, the Dallas Cowboys have been known for being one of the worst teams in the month of December and in the playoffs, given they haven't gotten passed the first round since Troy Aikman served as the starting QB. However, this season the 'Boys have sang a different tone in the month of December. QB Tony Romo has played some of his best ball in a Cowboys uniform the past few weeks, as he helped the team win back-to-back games in the month of December for the first time in six years. & If that wasn't enough, they also won last week against the same team they'll be facing tomorrow -- the Philadelphia Eagles. But unlike the 24-0 beating the Eagles received last week, both teams will be playing for their playoff lives this time around instead of home-field advantage and a division crown. A little something else that might be on the line, is Wade Phillips' future in the Big D.
