This is gonna be a rough season...isn't it?

[predator_05]

Not that we aren't psychologically prepared for being a bottom of the barrel, perennially underachieving team...but given the way this off-season has gone, i'm not sure rebuilding teams are capable of being competitive. Unusual off-seasons provide an advantage to teams with continuity, both in personnel and leadership. 

A few preseason games would have trimmed some of the flab, but without them...we're walking into a new season like a drunk schlub stumbling around for a dollar to take the subway home. Disgruntled players, opt-outs, injuries, lack of 'chemistry' (i hate that phrase, btw), means the team will land flat on its face week 1. Only silver lining is the double-dip in the first round, but that's a long way off. 

Am I exaggerating, or is this team (and coaching staff) better than i think?

Hard to say but as I have stated in other threads a lot of the success depends on how fast o line gels. I believe it will be as bad as it was last year for the first 6-8 games of season and as year goes by they become a more cohesive unit and there fore more wins. Also need to get a couple of more competent receivers. 

[peebag]

For the Jets, when hasn't it been?

[LockeJET]

This team lacks top talent at very important positions. We upgraded on paper but that means squat. We are depending on a lot of players who've either never played for us or never played in the league yet. 

2 years away IMO

Gotta wait til next year's free agent frenzy to get some good receivers. Until then, sammy's gotta make-do with herndon and chowder. 

[Saul Goodman]

Well in a passing league, we have a bottom-3 group of receivers and cornerbacks. And five new offensive linemen. We are basically asking Darnold to make this team win. 

[Barry McCockinner]

Garbage roster, garbage head coach. What do you think?

[TheClashFan]

I think the key is just to look at the team as in a real rebuild mode. We finally have a GM that seems to realize that. If the team surprises and makes the playoffs, look at that as a pleasant happening. But, expect the team to struggle. I fully expect the OL to be better, but still not "good" this year, b/c that may take time. 

If JD can draft well, the Jets could be good in a couple of years. That's the hope right now. I'm eager to see all the new draftees and which players develop this year to build off for next year. Also, is Gase up to the task? I'm still not optimistic about him, but I hope he changes my mind about that.

Trevor.

Hypothetically, this is the route;  what if the Jets do the Jets and dont lose enough for #1 and the Jags get it and refuse to trade because they want Trevor.

Fields?

People are going to be aghast when Lawrence falls on his ass because we still have no talent and adam gase as a head coach.

If Minshew is healthy they won’t pick first

You look like a pretty young in your picture. If I were you, I wouldn't invite anyone to "play pastor" with you.

Pic is from 2007. I'm now much wiser and clean cut.

The Jags are variable, the hypothetical was more so, what if we cant pry Lawrence?

Like somebody watching over us?

 

[Paradis]

We drafted a Franchise QB who's now in his 3rd season and the team is worse off than when he heard his name called.

You tell me. 

[Skeet Ulrich]

Team has one of the lowest talent levels in the NFL and isn't really coached all that well.

If you're expecting a 10 win season be prepared to be disappointed.

[GreekJet]

Remember 2012 when the Jets didn’t score a TD until week 4 of the preseason and then put up 40 on a Buffalo week 1?

 

Its hard to read too much into a scrimmage, preseason, or week 1. Let’s avoid hot takes.

It’s possible. I think the Jets are in play for 1 overall though. Washington being the other obvious.

The Jets are going to win the divison. Sam Darnold will quiet anyone who doubts him.

This season will be rough for the SOJF crowd only.

You tell me. 

Double dipping on defense in round 3 was probably not the move. Especially with one of the guys apparently doing his best Jachai Polite impression.

No. We’re not terrible. We’re not good. We’re mediocre. We scrimmaged today without our top 3 outside receivers. We’ve only had 3 fully padded practices. Luckily the OL wasn’t picked on or called out by the beat writers, that’s possibly the most important thing.

[sec101row23]

It’s only going to be a rough season if you originally thought it was going to be a good season.

I felt like we were promised (in sentiment if nothing else) for a change in this years draft... true "offense is a priority"... what did that equate to? a LT (basically no choice there), waited until the last min draft a WR in the 2nd round, and a middle round RB.

Nice.

It really is comical.  Of all the teams that drafted their potential “franchise” QB in the last 3 years, the Jets have done the poorest job of building around that QB.  Drew Lock is loaded in Denver, Sam wishes he had half of what Drew has right now.

Even sh*tty Buffalo has given Allen 2 RBs, multiple WRs and oline.

I don't know what's more unbelievable - the Jets aversion to talent on O, or the fanbase's litany excuses for our current climate.

[jetophile]

Win or lose there will be pain. I say that before every game, so never mind.
