Thankfully Al Davis is going to blow it up again...

This....sort of.

I will say Oakland is one of the most physical teams when they are on their game. They seem to physically beat the $hit out of their opponent every week. Whether they win or not is another story.

That said...I do not see Baltimore showing us anything more physical than what we saw from Oakland both games. They just are...smarter with it.

Not really sure why they would say "everyone wants to play KC at home". The "everyone" was really a choice between either the Jets or the Ravens, neither of which really had a say in the matter. It would've been more apropos to say that "everyone wants to play the Jets in their own house", as both KC and Indy were fighting for that easy matchup.

The Ravens probably preferred to play the Chiefs only because of their playoff inexperience but, honestly, the Colts probably would've been an easier game for Baltimore (even with Melonhead). The Jets are ****ed either way so it didn't matter where they went.

In another thread it was mentioned the Jets were 2-4 in their division last year. Granted a tougher division.

You never know whats gonna go down.

If you took this year's team with next year's schedule i can certainly guarantee you we wouldn't be close to winning 10 games.

I guess I missed the rule change that keeps us from adding players in the offseason, as well as improving young players already on the roster.

That's a real bummer for us.

It also sucks that strong teams, like you listed, never fall back to the pack, and never ever lose to lesser opponents.

Now I'm depressed.

Week 14: W, 34-10 vs StL
Week 15: L, 35-14 to MIN
Week 16: L, 47-7 to NE
Week 17: W, 34-21 to SEA

So they went 2-4 to end the season, getting blown out 3 times by greater margins than KC did today.

Poor example, CoMoChief

CoMo with the win!!!
