Dcronin Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don' t think there are many things more important than schedule. Ours is brutal beyond belief. Hopes and expectations, especially with us having basically zero linebackers against two of the best backs in the league, are low, low, low for tomorrow. God, I hope we can steal one. We need it. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/fitz-jets-daunting-stretch-talented-bengals-article-1.2786866?utm_content=buffer3130d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=mmehta+twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4jets Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Relax. It's those lucky Bengals. You'd think the OP was talking about some playoff winning team. If we don't roll over them, we better smoke them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 If people continue to look at the Jets with 2012-2014 eyes, then yes the schedule is brutal and we'll be lucky to win 4-6 games. Why? Because those teams: - Were brutal in the draft and didn't restock the roster - Thought that Sanchez, Tebow, Greene, Holmes, Hill, Kerley, Davis, Coples, Hunter, Wilson, etc. were "key" players to build around - Were dysfunctional offensively with a HC who didn't care about the offensive side of the team. And who hired Sparano & Mornhinweg as OC - Were led by a HC who liked to talk more than correct the issues (covering TE, covering RB, too many men on the field, communication) that continually plagued the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The very real thing about the schedule is that last year the Jets had the easiest in the league, and this year they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I think the truth is that we have very little idea of current strength of schedule until we see teams play 3-4 games. In addition, this year appears to me to reflect increased parity in the league with virtually no teams that stand out as locks for anything. The difference between a power ranked team at 1 and at 15 is shaky at best and almost exclusively built on previous year's performance. I'll wait and see.

Having the colts fall off the planet changed strength of schedule, Bills weren't as good as their record a year earlier. We'll see as it plays out week to week.

MaxAF Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Jets have a tough team. Opposing teams need to worry about the JETS. Nasty D. Great receivers, infused run game. Enhanced ST's. Go J-E-T-S. I'm not expecting them to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I like the schedule. A beat up bengals team at home. Seattle flying across the country for a 1 oclock game. A crappy game manager like alex smith, a rex ryan coached team etc. the schedule is a layup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I atleast like the confidence, but its certainly not a layup my friend! Last years schedule was a layup. This year its more like a half court shot.

T0mShane Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 The bad news: The schedule looks tough. the good news: the Jets won a bunch of game last year that you'd never predict they'd have won before the season. the bad news: they lost to the Texans third string QB and got swept by the sh*t-ass Bills. the good news: lots of speed on defense. the bad news: Fitz is the starting QB, so we're doomed to mediocrity anyway the good news: Hard pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetrider Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Strength of schedule is a moment's snapshot on paper. An injury or two can change everything making it easier than expected. Or more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First up...New England Patriots..uh, oh, that's a tough game coming out of the gate. But wait...but wait, no Tom Brady...no Gronk...no Ninkovic, both starting tackles are out. Hmm, well this changes everything. That's the way the NFL is on any given Sunday. Sure we have a tough schedule, who knows going forward how will play out though. The Bills game on the road on a Thurday night 4 days after the opener looked pretty daunting but the Bills have had a spate of injuries & suspensions so already if we suffer no serious injuries before that game the dynamics have already changed.

bealeb319 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I will probably wait a few weeks before i decide how "brutal" our schedule is. Right now there is no team we are playing against where I can honestly say we have no chance to win that game. Either way a tough schedule is not a bad thing, if you overcome a tough schedule and make it into the playoffs you can get hopeful for a superbowl appearance.

Dcronin Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 You guys are right. This is just my habitual, chronic pessimism that I revert to every year! The wins are so much more satisfying and surprising! Fitz looks very underwhelming to me today. Forte looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
