4HCrew Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 If the Jets end up 7-9 or 8-8 after being 7-5 is the season still considered a success? or does the individual improvement of players as well as implementing new systems and getting experience in them override game results?

Although strides were certainly made in the right direction this year, ending the season like that would make people believe that the early season success was merely a mirage.

shawn306 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 while losing 4 straight would bother me to no end. If you look at the overall picture the Jets did alot better then I think alot of thought they would. Now it will become a matter of putting pieces in the right place. RB CB Power rusher at DE QB ? OL There is still alot of areas that need to be improved but overall I am ecstatic at the direction this team appears to be headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietjets Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 7-9 or 8-8 after 7-5 is very bad. I call it a failure. I dont care about last year's record comparing this year's record. I am sure a lot of people call it a success because many reporters/ analyists predicted Jets would win fewer than 5 games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 I agree that this year should have nothing to do with last year..hell last year many thought the Jets were Super Bowl bound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaborJet Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The Jets were finished to be dead last in the division. That could still happen. That being said, 8-8 would be successful IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 8-8 is tolerable. 7-9 would be a 4 game losing streak to end the season, that sounds like a collapse. Although strides were certainly made in the right direction this year, ending the season like that would make people believe that the early season success was merely a mirage. I agree. The only exception would be if you could pin the collapse on one player. If we can truly blame the whole 4 game skid on him then I don't see it as a total disaster and he'll probably be gone next year. Another "acceptable" would be if they pull Penny and put in Clemens who struggles but shows signs of life and improves as he goes on. A 7-9 record for the season wouldn't be so bad, but the streak to end needs a rational excuse or it's just a trainwreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterNorth09 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Jets would have been 7-9 or 8-8 last year if Pennington hadn't gotten hurt. This is for the most part the same team player-wise that it was at the beginning of last year plus Pennington has stayed healthy. You couple that with the soft schedule playing teams like the Lions, Texans and Packers almost every week and anything less than 7 wins would have been underachievement. Only win that was really that impressive was the win against the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 not really the same team with 2 rookies starting on the O Line...but losing 3 out of the last 4 is just not a good sign regardless of the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 after 7-5 8-8 would be a dissipointment. you want to go into the offseason on a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 losing 3 out of the last 4 is just not a good sign regardless of the start. Exactly. I don't care how young the team is they have to be able to close out strong down the stretch. Now, maybe they'll learn after having a season of 16 games because there are a good amount of young players starting / playing in the NFL for the first time on this team but they need to step it up through these final 3 games and finish strong. I'm not expecting a 10-6 finish but 9-7 would be good for Mangini's 1st go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 and the victories would be against 2 teams that are much improved in the Vikings and Fish unlike pounding on the Packers and Lions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
