The way this season has gone for the Redskins, I had ZERO intention of watching the Bengals vs Jets game. But then it hit me that the duo of Joe "I love talking" Theismann and Joe Gibbs will be calling the game on NBC, Saturday. Tom Hammond will be doing the play-calling, but how often do you get a Super Bowl QB and Coach in the same booth? If that's not odd enough, guess who the eye candy on the sideline is....wait for it....wait for it....Tiki Barber. Ugh. I guess it's better than Goose. I'm sure this is a dreadful quarter for most NFL fans, but I seriously am looking forward to this.
In the prep to this week, Gibbs compared the Bengals' loss of Chris to Henry to that of Sean Taylor. Marvin is handling it as best as anyone can imagine. How fitting that fatty Rex predicted the Jets are the best team in the playoffs? Not just go Bungles, go Bengals.

you're right
I did say “see you at the draft”. i was upset about losing to KC. i was infuriated CP didn’t score on a 76 yard run. My blood boiled at Todd Collins throwing a prettier deep ball than the starter. But, i still find myself back. Awaiting, pleasure…or pain.
I think he said his name was brabra; theres no such name as brabra, it was barbara.

I want the jets to win.
I want Mike Zimmer locked in as fast a possible. All that man has left is family and football. Men like this are dangerous. He will atribute his success in his wife’s memory and will be willing to do anything to win. Cut throat shit, but no so in the manner of disgracing himself or her memory. This is what I want in a D.Coordinator. Lets go NY BI-PLANES!

I agree
But I hate Rex Ryan so much for saying the Jets are the best team in the playoffs.

Dirty is a non-issue
He throws very little when they win (kind of like Big Ben in his rookie year). They have a 2 headed monster in the running game, and are performing well on defense.
The Bengals aren’t coming in very sharp. Hopefully having home field might help.

I don't even want him to be the game-manager in a playoff victory
I want him nowhere near a playoff victory. I don’t like that he is in the playoffs. I would actually like it if he actively lost the game for them.
really, you hate him that much just for that?
I like the Jets because they have the OL I want:
young and studly, with a great affordable veteran (Faneca) thrown in

That smirk and grin is so obnoxious

I'd rather
See the Bengals win, and win handily. I really can’t stand seeing Sanchez win a playoff game because it’s more than likely going to bring out the Campbell bashers in full force. They always find a way to come out when it’s most convenient for them.
The greatest statement ever
by the LordMarshl! Yes, Let’s get Mike Zimmer locked in!
Rex Ryan or not it’s about the skins….
I hate the eagles too, but not against Dallas…Go Jets
NBC usually sucks at everything football.
Their commentators-excluding Al Michaels- suck, their analysts suck, and their reporters suck. It will be nice to finally have some personality and intelligence for football on NBC.
Orakpo!!! Russel Okung next year!
I hear Zimmer wants to be a head coach
any truth?
I read that he might be on some teams' HC lists
"By far the worst performers on the team are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
Who doesn't want to be a Head Coach?
He does want the opportunity to be a HC, not likely unless his “D” shuts everyone down and they go deep in the playoffs.
I agree, hope the Jets win, let’s get Zim as soon as possible so he can come in right away.
2010 season started already, our DC has work to do…….slacker!
I'm rooting for Zimmer to be DC by Monday

He took a DE/OLB and created pass rush schemes where that guy rushed from the DT spot and the dude lit it up until getting hurt. Not saying that will always work but I love the creativity and aggressiveness.
Rusty
Coach Gibbs seems a little rusty. I don’t know if he has ever done this before. I know he did studio work once before, but I don’t know if he has ever done color in the booth before. Even Joey T. seems a little rusty.
after watching the jets bengals game…i hope shanahan is smart enough to let the bengals def corrdinator (zimmer?) stay in cincinnati. he was completely outcoached and not the home run guy people said he was. same old bend and break at the end crap we are used to seeing. i feel bad for marvin. other quick thoughts:
1- whoever coached the jets d would be a more interesting pickup to lead our d. they were dominant in every aspect and finished cin’s final drive with back to back sacks!
2- they have the best corner in the game, by far- so that smarts. but he is smart enough to play to his players strengths. football is far more entertaining when they lock up at the line and let them play man to man coverage
3- ironic that joe t and coach gibbs announced the rebirth of the redskins. the jets feature a rookie qb (not bad, not great), decent rb, decent receivers and a GREAT line (3 pro bowlers). ball control and play action all the way. now i know who to watch when i sport my riggo jersey
4- i think we can expect from shanahan what he delivered in denver- a respectful little better than .500, unless he gives up the personnel decisions.
5- if pettibone were still around, there is no way the bengals lose to a rookie qb. still the best we ever had!
