Jetster Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Is not on TV in New England? Seriously? I know it's two struggling teams but no one can tell me Pats fans are more interested in Ravens vs Steelers? Maybe 5 years ago. Jets & Miami play in the same division. Just strange CBS isn't looking at the Jets winning 2 in a row & could be 5-5 before the bye & playing the Patriots. Oh well, I guess I'll have to watch a few bits & pcs on freaking Red Zone. I thought for sure with the Pats in a bye week, Jets vs Fins (AFC east rivals would be on CBS in New England) who makes these decisions? Didn't the Jets beat the Ravens recently & the Fins BEAT down the Steelers? Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers are likely play off candidates, and a team more likely to affect the Patsies path to the Superbowl than either the Jets or the Phish. Sad - but true.

The system is down at the moment though so I can't check the latest schedule. But arbitrary TV scheduling decisions are part of the reason I have Sunday Ticket.

Just checked the DirecTV guide and it is still showing Jets v. Dolphins in Providence area. But the system is still ill and the guide has not updated since very early this am. If it just changed recently, the guide very well might not reflect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwichjetfan Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The one weekend all season that I'm going up to MA to spend with the wifey's fam, and the game won't be televised up there lol. Well, at least this will get me out of their house on Sunday. Hopefully one of the sports bars in her area will play it. Go Jets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 These TV station directors making the call know their audience. Big Ben returning from injury vs Flacco is a better draw than 3-5 Jets with Fitz in Miami vs The personality sh*t sandwich that is Suh/Tannehill.

Almost everyone is figuring a Miami win. http://www.espn.com/nfl/picks 9 of 10 on espn think Miami. And I've seen similar from other "experts". Until Fitz can prove he can consistently complete a 10 yard pass (or he's benched), the Jets are bad football/entertainment. Speaking of Fitz and 10 yard completions... how does a guy regress so much in one season? Yes Fitz was bad last year too; only propped up by playing bad teams. But one thing he had was red zone efficiency. In particular he ability to place the ball 10-11 feet in the air, above Marshall. Not a bomb or anything. Like a 5yd pass. Now he can even do that. When BM has 1on1 coverage n the end zone, Fitz throws the ball at like 4 or 5 feet, closer to the CB than to Marshall. Smh, ugh I can barely stand to watch Fitz play. Why would non Jet fans want to?

Meh. The only one who's opinion of who's going to win matters have it Fish -3 1/2. Hardly a prohibitive favorite at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I actually might watch more of the Giants-Eagles game. I hate the 2016 Jets. I've tried watching the last three or four games and I'm completely bored and indifferent about the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a good call, watching a a real young Franchise QB, who in hindsight we should have bet the farm on. Mean while we will be going into 2017 after just drafting another Corner. Then Looking to play Petty or Hack, with zero real game experience, because dumb ass Bowles played Fitz the whole of 2016 before his contract ran out. SOJ.

MaxAF Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I love watching the Jets every week. If they lose it gives me a reason to drink for the rest of the night. If they win it gives me a reason to drink the rest of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
