Snell41 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 No shlt, 6 games doesn't make a season. Guess no one should watch the game. 5-1 or 4-2, same thing. Wont have anything to do with how the season plays out, can't be relevant. Well there grumpy face, I was speaking to those who were referencing the idea that a win means we must right away be considered Super Bowl contenders. 5-1 is nice. it certainly helps the cause of stacking chips and moving towards the goal of winning the division and making the playoffs. But it doesn't suddenly mean we are Super Bowl contenders, nor does 4-2 mean we're doomed. Cut your engines and cool your wings man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut your engines and cool your wings man. 4-2 wouldn't mean we're doomed, but it would make the Patriot game at MetLife a must win, and we'd need some help from other teams. 5-1 puts us in control of our own destiny to win the division. That's kind of big, even this early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDown Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Winning next week means they are super bowl contenders. Dare to dream? The Jets would be 5-1, leading the division, and coming off a road win against the previously undefeated defending Superbowl champs. Of course we'd be Superbowl contenders. We already are in my opinion. Some people seem to be confusing being a contender with actually accomplishing something. Being a contender is nothing but a person's opinion at a specific snapshot of the season. It doesn't guarantee anything, and it doesn't really mean anything. There's nothing wrong with being optimistic. If you can't enjoy the ride, then what's the point? Just to note, I think a victory next week would make the Jets contenders in alot of people's eyes, not only the fans. Beating the Patriots in a season where many are wondering whether they will go 16-0 again certainly makes a statement and proves the team can beat anybody.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 It depends how they win, if the Pats come out flat and play a vanilla game, then BB is just playing to understand how Bowles coaches, figure out the signals etc... and I will be more interested in the second game Rex won his first game and not many after that so I am with the 5-1 crowd, I will enjoy the win but nothing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Winning next week means they are super bowl contenders. Dare to dream? Whoa Bit... Maybe it gets us in the conversation but I would need to see us doing what the Pats do week in and week out every year. Taking care of the teams they are "supposed" to beat. Still and all, given where we started this offseason I think that being in the conversation is a huge step forward. Also, teams don't tend to go from worst to first or near worst to first in one year. I am sure there must have been one but I cannot remember who off hand.

Understood and I happen to agree with you. This despite the recent somewhat successful campaign by supporters of the Patriots to downplay and completely minimize the significance of the cheating. I still think that Brady is taking one for the team here. The lower ball pressure was 100% about the correlation to lower rates of fumbling and 0% about what kind of ball that Brady prefers to throw. Anyhow, worst to first doesn't really happen and so my reasonable ceiling for this year is for the Jets to be "that team" come the playoffs. You know, the one that nobody wants any part of in the post season. If things happen for us faster than that this year then obviously it is all gravy.

AzogtheDefiler Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 NE is a good team. Beating them solidifies the Jets as a good team as well. Being its week 7 there is nothing more to the game. Both teams will likely be somewhat different come week 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It would say a lot. if they win and the offense looks good, it says that maybe Fitz's arm strength won't be an issue. If they win because the Jets defense dominated against that incredible offense, it says wow this defense wants to try and be all time great. We will find out soon enough.

The NFL runs the headsets. I cannot believe the NFL investigated stupid ball deflation vs. Edelman continuing to play in the SB when he was obviously concussed. Yet, no one says a damn word about it. That was the biggest act of deception. The rest is just BS as players still have to execute on the field. Edelman caught the winning TD vs. Seattle. WWE is staged? Stop it.

Flushing Roots Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Just so I know before the game begins, is there any way the Patriots can win this game without cheating? And if not, what are the instances of cheating I should look out for? And as you say they are cheaters, how have they been cheating in 2015? Just curious. I am certain they have not cheated in 2015. Nothing for you to look out for. Unfortunately for you, that perception will last forever given the allegations in Spygate and Deflategate and the perception by many that the 4 SB wins are tarnished. In golf, you cheat once, no one plays with you. That type of thinking and ideology transcends all sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Rex Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Let's not forget, last year with a much worse roster we went into new England and lost by two points...This can be done You can't base the outcome of a game based on what happened in the past. The Patriots could easily blow the Jets completely out of Gillette Stadium. I don't think that will happen but it could. I hope the Jets defense rises in defense of unfortunate comments made by Sheldon Richardson who seems to forget that Rex Ryan is no longer around to back up his words with even dumber statements - and no results.

Ex-Rex Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 A win over the Patriots would be huge from a fan standpoint, but I am sure that to Todd Bowles it will mean that the Jets are 5-1 and have to get ready to play the Oakland Raiders. I love the guys level headedness which if it was Rex, the team would be sky high after the win and then flat as a pancake against Oakland and the Jags the following week as Rex took complete responsibility for the teams poor play.

jack48 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I agree with Bowles. It says we are 5-1. It does not exempt us from having to pay and win future games. In the past, it might have been reason for Rex to beat his chest and crow for the remainder of the season. Heck, he used to crow when they played the Pats close. But things have changed.
