JetsFanatic Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Rules are the rules. What do you want them to do change the rules every year? Too bad, happens in sports all the time. You grow up, accept that these are the rules. Being 10-6 is no different than being 9-7 and missing out on a tie breaker. Who cares, they didnt finish inside the top teams to make the playoffs. Things even out over the years: 1991 we made the playoffs with an 8-8 record; 2002 we won the division with a 9-7 record beating the Patriots and Dolphins in a tie breaker. (I believe we won the division via the same tie breaker we lost to the Steelers this year) 2009 we made the playoffs with a 9-7 record, winning tie breakers against the Steelers, Ravens and Texans who had the same record. Sometimes we benefit from these tie breakers and sometimes we don't. In the final analysis, the Jets won 10 games and I appreciate the improvement from the 2014 embarrassment. We also have a front office that I feel really good about. Although I am disappointed by week 17, it doesn't diminish what was accomplished.

Man if they just went 8-2 in that stretch we be in. But they went on an insane run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Rules change. And actually they finished with the same record as the Steelers 10-6. And BTW, they do change the rules EVERY YEAR. FYI...........http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/05/huge-wild-card-audience-surely-means-more-wild-card-games/ Rules dont change for you. They change for everyone, for the year. And you live with them. Not cry like a baby if you lose out. And give anyone who gets it a negative rep, like a little baby would when it hears something it cant or wont accept. Put on your big boy pants and grow up already. Who gives a shlt about this so much they give a negative rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about using his logic of changing rules if they said, new rule you have to have a winning record to make the playoffs, essentially his rule, we should get in over a team with a record lower than 10-6 and they kept us out of the playoffs in 1991 because we got in with an 8-8 record. How can you not see this? Give me a negative rep over it? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 How'd you feel about this...The 2008 New England Patriots season was the 37th season for the team in the National Football League and 49th season overall. Despite finishing the regular season with an 11–5 record, the Patriots did not qualify for the playoffs—becoming the first 11-win team since the expansion to a 12-team playoff in 1990 to not make the playoffs, as well as only the second team (after the 1985 Denver Broncos) since the NFL expanded to a 16-game regular season in 1978. This came just one year after finishing with the only 16–0 regular-season record in NFL history. I'm sure that sat with you well. And you look very happy in this pic too. I have no problem with that whatsoever. Pats didn't win enough games to get into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtina Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I am a fan of the game as well as the Jets. I never miss the playoffs bad taste or not. Life goes on. I started out as a football fan and became a Jet fan second. Now, there seems less and less reason to watch as the rules have been so skewed to the offense (for fantasY) the games are decided by bad officiating; it's just become less and less appealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powpow Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I have no problem with that whatsoever. Pats didn't win enough games to get into the playoffs. I despise the Pats but they had a hell of a year in 2008. They deserved to get in just like the Jets did this past year. I hate this tiebreaker bullsh*t. Expand the playoffs. Let the best man win. When the wild card was started, NFL traditionalists were totally against it. They cried it would water down the NFL's image. Nonsense. Its created excitement and intrigue and gives hope to teams on the fringe of greatness and there were many that have taken advantage of this. BTW if you're going to debate this like an adult, I'm open to it. If you're going to be a prick then go **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what it is. Only whinny fans of teams who don't make the playoffs want to see changes to the rules on making the playoffs. Beat the hapless Bills and the Jets are in.

Mike135 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah, no plans to watch any games. Maybe the SB. Probably shouldn't even be on this forum either. Anytime I think about it, I get more pissed at certain players/coaches that will most likely be here next year. So best to not even watch the playoffs. Hopefully Superbowl should be fine though. As I never even hoped we'd make it there. Ugh f#ckin Jets. Not satisfied ruining their own season but have to lose in a way that ruins the whole damn season for their fans. D!cks.

Spoot-Face Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I don't think I can watch any of the games either--maybe the NFC games. I was excited to watch Arizona, the team that reminds me most of the Jets. Still not over the loss, though. I haven't been able to properly mourn the Jets since I've been terribly ill since Sunday. And I don't think it's a coincidence either. Watching the Jets loose, to Rex, in that fashion, and getting knocked out of the playoffs, letting the Steelers get in, literally made me sick. Woke up the next morning with a fever of 101. Just awful. This ******* team... ...will be the death of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
