Well, ol' Norv Turner reverted to type. Against all odds, Brett Favre did not, although Tony Romo almost hit for the cycle in our Family Fun Game from last night. The question remaining as the NFL playoffs grind on is now how can any fan of the way the New England Patriots used to play football NOT now be a fan of the New York J-E-T-S?

Consider:  a good, tough running game; a rookie quarterback maturing by the minute in the playoffs, and a tough, hostile and athletic defense that can make a play from almost any position, and defensive schemes that make blitzers appear as though they're coming out of trap doors in the field. New Orleans has the sentiment. Minnesota has the candle-lighting acolytes from the networks, and the Indianapolis has a strange ability to make just enough plays to win. But the Jets have more of what the NFL is supposed to be about than any of them.

If they make the Super Bowl, will someone tell Rex Ryan? After all, he gave up on the playoffs three weeks ago.
