I'm not so sure about that, the way the red-hot Jets have been playing. And tell your partner that the Steelers are definitely going to the AFC Championship game -- probably hosting it!

Sorry Blatino but the Raiders won't get past Chad and the Jets this Sunday....as impressive as the Jets entire team has looked these last two games (not to mention the fact that they nearly won in Oakland in November despite Pennington's mediocre performance) I can't see any of the remaining AFC teams derailing the J-E-T-S on their way to San Diego....maybe Broadway Joe will even on hand to cheer them on and bring his old team some good luck.

Nonsense, the Raiders have what it takes to put the Chad and his upstart cohorts in their place. Besides, it's time for them to have a letdown anyway

I agree with you rich. I don't see the Jets stoppin the San Francisco treat either. Go Raiders!!

Sorry gamecock, but you are... wrong!!! All week long been hearing jets this and jets that. Well... let's see... ohh yeah 30-10. Chad(pensive) Pennington had another mediocre(losing) game just like in nov. We'll see your jets next year again at Raider Mecca. Thanks for the support richsf.

I'm willing to admit when I am wrong Blatino and as far as yesterday's 2nd half performance by the Jets was concerned, boy was I ever wrong! ....for the first time in nearly two months Pennington looked like the inexperienced QB that he is and when Chad badly missed a wide open Jerald Sowell in the 3rd quarter on about the Raider 20 (with no Oakland defender within 10 yards of him) I knew the Jets were in DEEP trouble from that point forward.

Rich Gannon and the Raiders deserve all the credit for playing with intensity and determination and I honestly believe that all the excessive hype that surrounded the Jets after their resounding victory over Indy came back to haunt them -- they appeared to be very tentative and lacked aggressiveness (particularly during that dismal second half) and played much better when they were the underdog and nobody gave them a chance.

Despite Chad's performance on Sunday (and calling it "mediocre" is being kind, blatino) it still looks like the Jets finally have an intelligent, quality QB that will hopefully continue to improve and will lead the team to the Super Bowl that their loyal fans have been waiting over thirty years to witness once again....kudos to Gannon and the Raiders....IMHO they should coast to another resounding victory in the "Black Hole" on Sunday before facing a VERY tough opponent in San Diego -- regardless of whether that opponent turns out to be Philly or the "Return of Chucky" they will have their hands full in two weeks.
