After the most unlikely of scenarios, the New York Jets take the easy route to the playoffs by defeating teams that were playing for virtually nothing and without their star players. After putting an end to the Manning-less Colts' potential undefeated season just two weeks ago, New York went on to beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 37-0. After losing at home to the Falcons just 3 weeks ago, Jets head coach Rex Ryan said his team was no longer alive to make the playoffs. But now he's thinking otherwise by saying, "No one wants to face us in the playoffs, we're a very dangerous team." Yeah, way to show confidence in your squad coach...
Ryan also gave lots of credit to his struggling rookie quarterback - Mark Sanchez for getting the Jets to the promise land. When instead, it was a combination of the Jets defense and their deadly running game that really got them to the playoffs. Before you declare Ryan a genius, consider this: the two teams the Jets beat to make it to the playoffs have already clinched playoff berth's and sat most of their starters and key players to avoid injury and keep healthy for the postseason. But whether or not the Jets got lucky, they're in the playoffs no doubt. A word of advice for Rex Ryan and his boys, don't plan on any teams sitting their starters now that it's playoff time.
