ZachEY Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The AFC flat out sucks. If the season ended today, the seeding (per espn) would be: 1. Steelers 2. Patriots 3. Chiefs 4. Titans 5. Jaguars 6. Bills The Jags and Bills are both 5-3 today. And the other teams in contention, Dolphins, Ravens, and Raiders, have all failed to distinguish themselves. Too early to run scenarios, but in a season where it looked like the tank was on and 2-3 wins realistic, 4 wins could potentially get a playoff spot... That said, it's tough to find 4 more wins: Bucs, Panthers, Chiefs, Broncos, Saints, Chargers, Pats But 8-8 could definitely do it this year.

That said, 8-8 has a shot in the AFC this year. Unlikely, on both counts, but not impossible. Also sucks that the Pats will basically walk to the Super Bowl - Chiefs, we all know, will blow it.

They will be tough games, but I think each game will be close and can be had. None of those teams are really playing dominant football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 It's a nice thought, but I don't think so. We're 4-5 now. We play: 1. At Bucs (Call it a Win) Enjoy the last breaths of postseason hope, 5-5 Bye Week, No QB Change because "Hope!" 2. Panthers (Loss) Jets O can't get it done, 5-6 3. Chiefs (Big Loss) 5-7, Season All But Over Now and Team Will Know It 4. At Broncos (Loss, Albeit Close) 5-8, Season Over, QB Change Pending 5. At Saints (Crushing Loss) 5-9, if Petty/Hack hasn't been played yet (and they won't, Bowles being Bowles), they will after this game. 6. Chargers (Win), Jets rise under whomever kid QB plays, wins vs. meh Chargers team. 6-9 7. At Patriots (Loss), Jetss kid QB falls back to Earth, 3+ INT's, sad end to season, 6-10 That's how I see it as of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevisIsland610 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 8-8 is a possibility. Lets not make this out to be murderers row here over the next 7 games. They lose to the pats, saints, and chiefs for sure. The bucs, broncos and chargers are not good plus I think they could beat carolina at Metlife where they play well. I still think that it will take 9 wins to make it in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20andOut Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Bucs look very beatable, especially with Fitz as potential QB for Sunday. Bloom seems to be coming off Chiefs. Smith not looking nearly as good as he did first few weeks of season. Broncos also lookingless intimidating than might have been expected. They can't even figure out which terrible QB to play. Just have to get some points on their very good D. Can't argue about Panthers, Saints, and Pats though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with your week-to-week, except, I kind of think we can beat the Broncos and depends what Carolina team shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win, Panthers are basically the Bills on offense. Apply the same gameplan. Chiefs. Close loss. Kelce dominates us. Broncos. Close win. D causes Lynch to turn ball over and make mistakes. Saints.

Skeptable Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 1.@Tampa (W) - This team is in Bad Shape only 2nd to the Giants... Jets Role... 32 - 16 Bye Week 2. Panthers (W) Tight game ASJ has a career game... 17 - 13 3. Chiefs (L) Andy Reid is just better 24 -33 4. @Broncos (W) Disaster of a Team 15 - 9 5. @Saints (L) Peyton is just Better 45 - 22 6. Chargers (W) Chargers run all over the Jets in the first half to score 24 and get shut out the whole second half. 27 - 24 7. @Patriots (W) Hoyer just can't get it done as a fill in while Brady is nursing his shoulder after his week 15 hit from Harrison...

ChuckkieB Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I will gladly eat all the crow this board can serve up if the Jets go 9-7. It would truly be stunning. I would like to add that no matter what the Jets record ends up being and wherever the Jets end up picking, Mac needs to go balls out to draft a franchise QB in 2018.

BrickTamland Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 IF the jets can continue to play close to how they did against Bills, then: @Bucs - W (5-5) Car - W (6-5) KC - L (6-6) @Den - W (7-6) @NO - L (7-7) LAC - W (8-7) @NE - L (8-8) unless starters sit, quite possible ... then W, (9-7) IF the team regresses, then it'll be more like 6-10.

UntouchableCrew Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I don't think 8-8 will do it because we'll likely lose too many tiebreakers due to our large number of conference losses. The head to head with the Jags is the only tie-breaker in our favor. Looking at the schedule 7-9 seems about right, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might want to reconsider that one mates. I don't completely disagree with you but I don't think the Panthers are as good as their record states. They haven't been up against too many good defenses and have a penchant not to show up on offense (games with 9, 13, 3 17 points) and they just lost a good receiver to the Bills. Cam isn't playing like usual either. Any other year, I wouldn't give the Jets a shot but this year I think it's a 50/50 shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten second ago we were (by most accounts here) an 0-16 talent-less team. Now we're going to easily whip the 6-3 Cam Newton-led Panthers. I think in both cases, it's a bit much. We were never an 0-16 team. And while beating Carolina is possible, it's not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwichjetfan Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Unfortunately, I don't see us getting to 8 wins. NFC is considerably better than AFC this year (3 of the 7 games remaining), and the only AFC teams that are worth their weight are the Steelers, Chiefs and pats* (2 of the 7 games remaining). Even if we grant a W for the bucs given their QB situation and Evans probably being suspended, the rest of the schedule is tough. I think we do the worst thing possible and get to 7 wins this year. Bucs: Win Panthers: Loss Chiefs: Loss Broncos: Loss Saints: Win (I get that they're really good, but football is about matchups, and I think we matchup well with them) Chargers: Win pats*: Loss, but only because the refs will make sure of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
