ryu79 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Bowles is getting so much more from this team than anyone expected and as a first year coordinator Morton has been super impressive - people are actually open! Our oline is ... Improving! What is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's have our young guys step up, and do the unthinkable. These past few weeks have been the Revenge of the Refs, but let's make the rest of the season the Return of the Je(ts)di . College QBs are NEVER a guarantee. But making the playoffs when slated to go 0-16 changes the culture. It would be the start of something great, for once.

rex-n-effect Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Our schedule gets harder from here. We had some games we should have won but thinking playoffs is excessively optimistic. Barring injury, both the Bills and Pats are probably in, which means one spot for us in competition with at least the Ravens, Jaguars and maybe the Texans and Broncos. Unlikely. The team is definitely doing a lot better than expected. Lots of young guys starting to perform at a high level. Some of the vets are starting to earn their keep. We're a lot closer to competing than it appeared at the beginning of the season, which is a huge win. Having a team that is overall on the rise creates a lot more opportunity at QB than just hoping for a tank and take a prospect. With a competitive roster we stand a real chance of attracting a good FA option. We have draft picks to trade down for a QB. We can do both. Bowles' coaching still needs a lot of work but Morton is a huge upgrade at OC which is at least heading in the right direction. Hopefully with more experience and help from good staff like Morton he will find the confidence to trust more in the younger players and manage the clock better.

Adoni Beast Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 The last 3 losses killed our playoff hopes. If we won at least 2 of those, even though we should have won all 3. We'd be in prime position. But this team had already overachieved, and we have a true foundation to build off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Had we not blown that lead against Miami I think we'd be in great shape but now we have very little room to screw up. we'd basically have to lose 2 or less games the rest of the way. I don't see that happening, that Miami game really killed us. we had it, we'd be 5-4 and right there in the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Still a tough road but not as formidable as alot of us thought at the beginning of the year @ Tampa Bay: Winston is struggling Carolina: Panthers are struggling Chiefs: Loss @ Denver: Again Broncos not playing well @Saints: Very tough Chargers: Not that good Pats: Whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UntouchableCrew Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 That Dolphins collapse is going too keep us out... But I doubt we'd make it anyway. We basically need to go 6-1 (if we're assumbing 10-6 gets us in) the rest of the way, with the Panthers and Chiefs at home and games @ the Broncos, Saints, and Pats. Stranger things have happened but this feels more like a "8-8 is the goal" type season at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckkieB Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Great win. Team is playing hard. Young players are developing. QB play has been way above expectations. Schedule is tough from here on out. Playoffs are not realistic goal. Let's not start sucking each others d**ks just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 2 Times Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 IMO, it's too late for the miracle season. If they only blew two of the past three there would've been a chance. If they had actually held on to all three, i'd be on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Who cares about the draft. It's so dumb to worry about potential college kids who may or may not even declare. The goal is to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedWhofans Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Their last 6 games are very difficult. That will probably kill them in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats loss, for as bad as it was, isn't a game we can look at and say we definitely should have won. But I feel like we can for Atlanta and Miami.

Jets had a chance in all three but the Miami game was a total choke/collapse. 14 point lead in the fourth quarter? Against a backup QB? Against a team you essentially shut out earlier in the season? Should be an absolute given. The Falcons game was tough but it feels like a lot of our miscues (missed field goals, Kerleys' fumble) were weather related, as were some of our big plays (Ryan fumbling the snap so many times.) We should have won but it was a wonky game. Harder to be truly upset about that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now would that have been enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's really gotten more out of this roster than could have been reasonably expected. Love it! That's his job. He's proving the roster was good enough all along, he was underachieving. That said, Jets beat four crappy teams, have a losing record, and are dead last in the AFCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think a lot of you are missing the key word .... MIRACLE They do happen. All the time There is a mathematical possibility for a miracle in virtually anything, just rarely one you would bet on Kudos to the OP for his attitude because miracles come significantly more frequently to those who recognize them. Just ask Frank Edwin McGraw when you go up to the next level. As Andy Dufresne said, "Get busy living or get busy dying" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
