So how did week 1 change the outlook for the often mentioned insanely difficult first six games to open 2016?

The Jets:  It's been discussed a ton so far this week so I'll keep it short.  Sure there were some big disappointments at key spots, but overall you have to be psyched about the potential here.  The defense looks capable of huge things with just a little correcting in the back-end, and the Oline played much better than expected vs a very good defense.

Week 1, Cinci:  Wasted opportunity.  0-1

Week 2, @Buffalo:  Missing key players and didn't look very good.  If we don't beat them, we're in trouble.  1-1

Week 3, @KC:  They barely beat SD.  Solid team, but doesn't scare me.  2-1

Week 4, Seattle:  They beat Miami 12-10 at home?  3-1

Week 5 @Pitt:  Ok, Pitt looks pretty darn good.  However our Dline (and hopefully Oline) will allow us to compete vs anyone.  I'll still say a loss though to keep it realistic.  3-2

Week 6 @Arizona:  They just lost to a Brady-less and Gronk-less Pat team.  Arizona may be over-hyped.  4-2

4-2 after the tough first 6 is entirely possible if:

  • Fitz just gets back to being Fitz.  Nothing special, but at least accurate and on the same page with WRs in the red zone.
  • Secondary corrections that allowed for blown coverages week 1.
  • Folk doesn't continue to look bad.

In summation, what was originally looked at as an extremely tough first six games no longer does.  There's not one game the Jets can't win.  May not be favored in many of the games, but doubtful the opponents will be overly-confident.

If that happens Mike will be my new favorite poster and I will + rep each of his posts during those 5 games (of course starting with the @KC not @Buff victories!)

Why the pessimism? 

I've never understood why Jet fans who have faith are made fun of? Jets are 0-1 & heading to Buffalo. Watkins is definitely not 100%, Cordy Glenn (their best Olineman is out), Darius is suspended, they're as thin as can be when it comes to depth. Our team just recorded 7 sacks vs what NFL.com ranked the #2 best Oline after Dallas. A nicked up Watkins isn't close to a healthy AJ Green. Last year vs the Bills we didn't have a pass catching RB to kill Rex in the flats on blitzes in both games & he knew it.

Thats not the case come Thursday with both Forte & Powell healthy. Marshall & Decker had so so games, Enunwa looks like he's ready for primetime, even J.Marshall got some runs at WR. We ran for over 150 yards vs NFL.coms #1 rated Dline on Sunday. 

Lets get to 1-1 & get 10 days to get ready for a team that Danny Woodhead sliced up. I'll go out on a limb & say if the Jets get up like the Chargers did 21-6, our Dline will end up hurting Alex Smith. You guys really are a bunch of pussies throwing in the towel after the 1st game of the year.

Think we beat the bills, they are a mess with injuries.

and we beat Seattle, they always struggle early in the year.  We catch them at a good time.

But that's it

Jets @ Arrowhead is a loss for me. I'm looking at 1-2 heading into the Seattle game which would be a huge game for the Jets to win. 

Well hopefully step one goes to plan.  Need to get the W in Buffalo.  Wipe out the disappointment from Sunday's loss and finally beat Rex.  I'm figuring week 17 is gonna be important and I really prefer not going into another must win vs Buffalo feeling we can't beat them.

Then I like their chances with the extra rest/prep in KC.

Jets have a good track record against the Chiefs since the Parcells era and seem to win at Arrowhead when they have a halfway decent team. Last two times we played there were '05 and '14 and both were losses, but the Jets were a 4-win team both those years. Under normal circumstances I'd pick the Bills to win on Thursday but they are so injury-plagued.

Sunday's giveaway hurts bad when you look at the schedule. 3-3 would be within reach but I think the best we're looking at is 2-4. The Jets have the horses to compete with everyone they play because of the front seven, but at the end of the day the WR corps of Seattle, Pitt, and AZ are going to be way too much for our secondary to handle. If Revis couldn't handle Green he sure as sh*t isn't going to be able to handle Brown.

I agree that Brown is scary, but Ben likes to hold the ball not a good idea vs Jets Dline.

I'm really not that concerned with the secondary.  There were some blown assignments that you have to figure (I hope) are easily corrected.  Especially the AJ bomb/TD.  Miscommunication I think, which may just be early season rust.

Then regarding Revis... c'mon it was AJ Green.  The TD was a blown coverage by the safety and AJ is damn good.  He pulled off a couple sick catches while Revis had tight coverage.  Also add in some quick-strike WR screens and I don't think it's nearly as bad as many are making it out to be.

Now I'm not saying Revis should cover Brown one-on-one, that's just nuts.  We'd need Revis of old for that.  No one currently playing can shut down Brown consistently alone.  Revis up tight with safety help over top while the Dline pressures Ben though sounds like a good plan to me.

24 is still one of the better corners in the game.

I don't know that I would call us a playoff contending team Sunday but we were two fluke kicking **** ups away from winning a game that practically everybody had penciled in as a loss to a team that most certainly is a playoff contender and only lost that game by one. 

There are some winnable games on the early half of the schedule:

  • After the way this Bills played Sunday we have little reason to lose that game. 
  • KC could go either way. They aren't that good of a team but Alex Smith is the master of the dump off which is exactly what CIN did to kill us Sunday. We probably lose this game for the same reason.
  • The SEA game is looking better and better. SEA played terribly Sunday and Wilson might be injured.
  • PIT's offense looked great and Rothlisburger could easily pick apart our secondary if we haven't learned our lesson about adjusting and giving Revis some help. IMO this is the hardest of the first six games.
  • ARI had a rough game against NE but I wouldn't discount them entirely. If they play like they did against NE then it's a winnable game. If they start clicking then it's a much tougher game but still winnable. ARI was an uneven team last year and looks to be the same this year. 

It is not impossible that we squeak out 3-3 with a strong possibility of 2-4. I guess it's possible with a lot of luck that we catch some breaks and go 4-2 losing to PIT.

Didn't Seattle barely beat Miami? Seahawks like to struggle early. Jets got this.
