AFC Wild Card Week 16

      Week 16 and it seems like only two teams can acquire the bottom spot in the AFC Wild Card race. These two team are the Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Jets. The Bengals, a seemingly young team is looking for a playoff run, especially rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and wide reciever A.J Green. The two have hooked up many times to score or gain yards. In addition, Cincinnati's defense has performed enough to give their team a chance fo the playoffs. On the other hand, the Jets are struggling to make the Wild Card. Mark Sanchez hasn't been able to lead his team to enough victories to clinch the Wild Card or the division. He has had problems connecting with recievers like Santonio Holmes or Plaxico Burress. Furthermore, after taking a beating by the Eagles, the Jets defense has to rbound against their rival, the Giants. So who will it be the Jets or the Bengals?

AFC Wild Card Race

            With the NFL regular season coming to an end, which teams will make the playoffs? Specificly, the AFC Wild Card. At the moment, it consists of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals, although the Jets, Titans, and the Broncos look to spoil their playoff dreams. The Jets play the 4-7 Redskins who have gone through quarterback trouble with John Beck and Rex Grossman. Based on Rex Grossman's phenomenal play against the Seahawks, he should be the starter for today's showdown. Meanwhile, in the Redskins running game, rookie Roy Helu has secured his starting position because of his marvelous performance last week.
           "He's our starter for sure," Mike Shanahan said. Moving on to the Jets. This 6-5 team is one game behind the Bengals. Last week the Jets separated themselves from their division rival Bills. Mark Sanchez threw for a career high 4 touchdowns which propelled the Jets past the Bills, 28-24.

            "It is funny how if we make a mistake, we're horrible and it's, `Oh, they're terrible,"' Ryan said. "That could be bad luck there, too. But if we make a play, it's, `Oh, we're just lucky.' So, maybe it's the green (team colors). I don't know. I hope karma is with us. I hope we continue to be lucky, and we'll take that. Hopefully their momentum or "luck" will carry them into Washington DC to a win against Mike Shanahan and the Redskins.
             Secondly, the Titans will travel to Ralph Wilson Stadium to play the Buffalo Bills. The Bills, who lost to the Jets last week look to rebound and stay in playoff race.

             "We have to win out, and we probably have to get some help and that's what I told the team," coach Chan Gailey said. Gailey is most likely right. With the Bengals in the second spot in the Wild Card, the Bills will probably have to win based on Cincinnati's progress. Meanwhile, Matt Hasselback and the Titans are not only in contension for the Wild Card but in the race for the title division leader. On the Texans, Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart took severe hits and could be gone for some time. Filling in their position is either T.J. Yates or Jake Delhomme. In addition, running back Chris Johnson is starting to heat up. With skilled quarterback, Matt Hasselback and quick Chris Johnson, the Tennessee Titans can definitely get into the playoffs.
               Lastly, it's Tebow time in Denver. Tim Tebow has made a strong impression on Bronco fans and the Bronco team. Ever since the starting QB job has been given to him, the Broncos have prospered. Like the Titans, the Broncos are in the race for division leader and the Wild Card. With the Raiders having to resort to Carson Palmer and Micheal Bush, can the Broncos win out and become division leader? This week they will gallop into Minnesota to play the Vikings without star running back, Adrian Peterson. Furthermore, the Vikings are playing with rookie quarterback, Christian Ponder. Although the Vikings may have multiple weaknesses, Tebow will attempt to avoid DE Jared Allen.
               In conclusion, there are many teams that are fighting for a spot ib the AFC playoffs.

Go to peace not anger

To go to peace not anger means, for example if somebody calls you a name, you don't fight back, then that is going to hurt you. When that happens walk away, tell your teacher/Mom/Dad or say stop please in a nice way. If you see somebody who is hurt, get help, help them or find who did it and tell why did you do it. If you start the fight and hurt a person, then that's bad, because that person could have been your best friend. For example Mahatma Gandhi, freed India from England. But, how did he do it? Not with violence, he used words. He spoke up to England and they left India for freedom. So I say, "NO ANGER, YES PEACE".
