2014 Jets Schedule

[Arsis]

Eugene starting and as stays as QB ...... 5-11 ...........top 10 pick

Vick starting and stays as QB.......10-6 .....PLAYOFFS!

Vick starts gets hurt Eugene fills in..... 8-8 mid round pick no playoffs

Sally, you're a silly goose.

[Irish Jet]

Pretty much have to survive that first half of the season. Brutal.

 

If we get through that with 4+ Wins, we'll make the playoffs.

[vanDoug]

The NFL will play three games in London: Dolphins-Raiders on Sept. 28; Lions-Falcons on Oct. 26; and Cowboys-Jaguars on Nov. 9. The Detroit-Atlanta game will kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET in an experiment to test the NFL's audience draw on a Sunday morning

 

 

thank god we didn't get london or sunday morning

Weird start time. 6:30 AM here. At first I thought it would be the Sunday we change the clocks back an hour, but that's a week later.

[Klecko73isGod]

We're gonna start 3-4, including 3 straight losses to the Chargers, Broncos and Pats, followed by the Jets winning out and finishing 12-4. 

 

Book it. Geno's got this. 

[budda12ax7]

I think this a brutal schedule....

[Integrity28]

Schedule doesn't matter. We'll win a ton of games if we finally find a way to come out on the right side of the turnover ration. In the past, we've had a terrible time on defense creating turnovers and commit an insane amount of turnovers on offense. Fix that, and this over-achieving team is going to win 10 games no problem. 

 

Yes. I do believe it is really that simple.

100 percent agree, of all the crap we will read and watch in the next 4 months it really will come down to that

[Latinlawyer]

I agree that on its face the Schedule looks brutal BUT remember that in 2013 we had

 

HORRIFIC QB Play

 

We were not supposed to beat the Falcons, the Pats or the Saints

 

Our Pass D was Terrible

 

AND we had no offensive weapons.

 

 

AND WE FINISHED 8-8. 8-8 with all that against us.

 

Now, we have a better core of offensive weapons, we have a real QB competition (Vick v. Smith), our rookie QB is no longer a rook and had a good 4 game end of season swing AND we are working to improve the Pass D.

 

10-6 is not a stretch and I think we are playoff bound this year.

How do the Giants and Cowboys both rate more nationally televised primetime games than the defending Super Bowl champs?

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

The defending Super Bowl champs play on the west coast.

[Klecko73isGod]

The defending Super Bowl champs play on the west coast.

 

So? I'd rather see them than the Cowboys. 

 

The freakin' Cowboys - a perennial 8-8 team, a team that hasn't had a winning record in 5 years and has won all of one playoff game in the last 20 years, has six, count 'em SIX nationally televised games. At one stretch, we will have to watch the Cowboys play on national TV four straight weeks. 

 

The defending Super Bowl champions, a team that is infinitely more entertaining to watch - has four primetime, nationally televised games - only one of which is a home game. 

 

That's ****ed up. 

[LionelRichie]

just like 2013 right?    when 5-4 turned into 5-7 during the softer part of the schedule.  

 

guessing anything with this team is just that, a total guess.   who would have figured that after beating NO this team would go into an offensive funk of epic proportions?    

 

2013 was weird year for the Jets.   it seemed like they either won the game or were blown out.   they really didn't lose any close games - they just weren't competitive in the losses, regardless of who they played.  

[Matt39]

ESPN literally had segments and live polls on if you like where your bye week falls. Jerome Bettis analyzing bye weeks...but Goodell talks to the fans so I guess this is what we want.

You're missing the point. It's just logistics. It's not like Seattle especially cares to waste any of its home games on 5:30 Sunday/Monday start times, believe me.

[Matt39]

There isnt one fan,player or coach in the league that likes prime time games. The one good thing about being sh*tty is we don't have to deal with many. 2011 was brutal.

[Klecko73isGod]

No. It's not. 

 

It's the NFL buying into their own hype machine, pretending that the Cowboys are still somehow relevant.

 

The Seahawks don't have more home primetime games because they've been crushing people at home the last two years and the networks don't want people turning off blowout games at halftime. The Seahawks average margin of victory at home the last two years is 18.5 points. That is insane by recent NFL standards.

Speak for yourself. I love having games to watch at least three nights a week. 

[Matt39]

I meant when your own team is playing in it.

[Klecko73isGod]

I meant when your own team is playing in it.

As a fan who doesn't live in the area my favorite team plays in, I'm extra happy when my team is playing in it. 

[Latinlawyer]

Cowboys suck. Yet the history of the Cowboys continues to feed into the scheduling frenzy.

 

HOWEVER, remember that the NFL ha added two more weeks to "FLEX"scheduling so that they can adjust the schedule to the teams that are playing well and games that mean more during the season.

 

Is America screaming for more Cowboys? No. But, they are still relevant..from a history standpoint. However, if the cowboys tank and go 4-12 this year, you KNOW they will not get 4 games next year...maybe 1 or 2 but not 4.

Sunday ticket homie

[Klecko73isGod]

Sunday ticket homie

 

Yeah, if the Jets are playing in primetime I happily watch Red Zone all day. 

[RutgersJetFan]

No. It's not. 

 

It's the NFL buying into their own hype machine, pretending that the Cowboys are still somehow relevant.

 

The ratings say they are and for TV execs that's really all that matters. Nielson issued a report a few years back and Dallas was something like 25% higher than everyone else. For nationally televised games they're far ahead of everyone else in terms of viewership. Pittsburgh was second obviously, which is equally annoying.

[Jettington]

I hate it when the Jets play on Monday night football, it just stresses me out, if the Jets lose, I'd rather see it on Sunday and have it out of my system by Monday morning. We have 3 prime time games but don't be surprised if we get flexed in week 16 to Sunday Night Football against the Patriots, the current game for that date is Cardinals Seahawks, but I think the Cardinals will be out of contention by then.

[Kleckineau]

The opener is huge for this team. If they crap the couch against Schaub and the Raiders they will be staring at 0-3 with the Pack and Bears coming up.

and i'm sure we'll make the raider game as difficult as possible.

Seahawks organization is not as "classy" as the Giants, Cowboys.

13-3

 

Division Champs, 2 seed.

[Villain The Foe]

I know strength of schedule means nothing in April, but seriously that week 2- week 7 schedule is as bad as it gets. 

 

 

5 or 6 wins. .500 with schedule would probably mean Rex could keep his job. It's a very tough schedule.

 

 

I'm not going to argue and be pessimistic about it because I think any given week the Jets can beat all of those teams, but Jets are not consistent enough to play at the high level necessary to beat those teams in consecutive weeks. I dont think we lose all 7 games but I feel whoever gets the starting QB job at game 1, will lose it after game 7 

 

 

Its like the schedule makers were given specific instructions to make it as tough as they could for the JETS. On the other hand the Pats were given every break by the schedule makers.

 

 

 

 

4-5.

 

 

I think this a brutal schedule....

[RutgersJetFan]

I think we can finish above .500. But that is a brutal stretch.

[RutgersJetFan]

If we are at .500 after week 10 I think we'll be in a position to make a run. We really need to win Week 1 because aside from the Bills game there isn't a lot of wiggle room until week 11. The schedule really lightens up after that. I like where the divisional games fall too.

[Villain The Foe]

I think we can finish above .500. But that is a brutal stretch.

That f'ing stretch is brutal. Its not just the first 7 games either, though 4 of the first 7 teams we play were playoff teams last year and the QB's we face are Schuab, Rodgers, Cutler, Stafford, Rivers, Manning & Brady. 6 of the 7 games are against top 10 offenses of last year (#1,#3, #5, #6, #7 & #8). In the next three games we play 1 playoff team from last year in Kansas City, and the QB's are Manuel, Smith & Roethilsberger. We play a top 10 defense from last year (Bills #10). 

The good news is this, if we can go 5-5 or even 6-4 during this run to the bye week. The Jets should go 5-1 the second half of the season and 4-1 in the division. The stretch is brutal, but the Jets can definitely win 5 of these games especially if they're talking about being a playoff team. 5 of the 10 teams are playoff teams with some of the greatest QB's and offenses in the game. We keep talking about "the Jets defense", this year is the year that the "Sons of Anarchy" put in work! 

[PatriotReign37]

 

  Now, lets go get a GD snack.

[MexiRoll6]

week 1 raiders opener looks juicy

 

week 2 at Lambeau real tough but week 4 the dome lions outside at Met Life is a favorable matchup. 2-2 thru 4? 3-1 seems too hopeful.  

 

if by some miracle they did pick off the bears week 3, they'd probably read their own clippings and drop to the Chargers. So whatever call those two a toss up. 

 

week 6 peyton at home will be a huge game for this team's season and the whole outlook. If they get waxed it's not gonna be pretty. Rex historically matches up well against Peyton so this is going to be some home underdog action. It's not divisional but it's basically their litmus test. 

 

week 9 at KC tough place to play (not very winnable) but week 10 at least the JEts aren't going to Pittsburgh this year. Another situation where they will be lucky to split.

 

december outside in Minnesota, take the under. Beatable but could be a real ugly football game. 

 

As for the division the less said about NE the better and.. they basically have to sweep BUF and MIA to have any shot at playoffs. 

 

all in all if this team gets to 9-7 they did a good job. It's not an easy schedule. 

I see 8-8 with Jets being swept by Pats. Revis will shut down whoever he is put up against and Jets offense will bog down. I don't think the Pats are SB material anymore, but they still look better than the Jets. 2015 is the year Iggy is aiming for. I agree that they have to sweep Buffalo and Miami, but I don't see it this year. For some reason the Jets ALWAYS seem to let inferior Buffalo steal a win from them.
