Thursday Night is the Jets SuperBowl

[Rhg1084]

This game is the only legitimate shot they have at a win all season (they’re still 3 point underdogs however). They must make sure to lose this game so we can secure going 0-16 and landing the number 1 pick! It’s a must lose game!!

[Adoni Beast]

It’s absurd that Gase’s job can possibly be saved by eeking out a victory against lowly Denver.

But I will be the biggest Bronco fan Thursday night if it means getting rid of Gase. 

If we lose Thursday we are also looking at 0-16 / 1-15, with one Miami game or some team towards the end that rests their starters being the only possibly win. 

The Giants look bad (not as pathetic as us), so we might be both tanking for Trevor.

[static14]

I have literally never rooted for the team to lose before in my entire life, but if it gets Gase fired I hope we get destroyed. 

[KINGDIRK]

I look at Thursday night this way. Sadly we need a loss. This team will win a couple of games this year but lose to Denver and the schedule sets up for a 1-9 type start. The Giants and Panthers (yes they won yesterday) are going to be right there battling for the first pick. I want Gase gone, Lawrence at 1 and hit restart.

As a 42 year old Jets fan this will be the 49th rebuild since I started watching at 7 years old. But perhaps the stars finally align and we are awful in a year where an bonafide elite QB prospect is there for the taking.

I hope we have first overall locked down by week 17 and/or Pats have something to play for. You just know Belichick is the type of guy to lose that game on purpose to keep Jets from landing Trevor. No way Gase or Williams smells that it's a trap.

The Giants organization owes Adam Gase a whole lotta gratitude as they are flying under the radar even though they are absolute trash. And Danny Dimes is an absolute turn over machine.

It is amazing to me how many people now want gase gone...when he was hired I caught so much crap because I said it was a terrible hire and pointed at how he destroyed miami.

Most people didn’t want Gase here and thought it was a terrible hire 

[Icer]

It's a huge game, even a sh*tty team should win against an equally sad and injured Broncos team. Gase's job on the line, we have a really tense and exciting awful game on our hands

Sometimes being right just has to be its own reward here on JN. Don’t expect any apologies either: Critical options are slammed but when you point out that you were right, they will just say you are beating a dead horse.

[ScarletKnight89]

I can't wait to watch the Jets win an ugly 10-6 game and listen to CJ use that as justification to keep Gase around. 

[munchmemory]

Wonder how many variations of sweeps Gase is diagraming as I type.

[CTJetsFan]

As badly as I want Gase gone, I'm still rooting for Sam.

With that, there's a part of me that wants to see them win Thursday and come back week 5 with Bell, Mims, Crowder, Perriman and one of the Smith boys and see what happens from there. Hoping Becton is good to go by then too.

I'm sure I'm in the minority feeling this way.

We are roughly the same age, and started watching at the same time.  By chance do you also suffer from severe bouts of depression?

Sadly, this franchise has A LOT of dead horses to beat.

Needs to be a loss.

Otherwise Denver get Lawrence and he'll have a HOF career. We must prevent that and damn him to a life of shame.

I really want Trevor Lawrence. I've seen enough of Sam Darnold. 

Draft Trevor and use our picks and FA $ to build around him. 

Sam Darnold is worse than Sanchez ever was.

We already know what happens if Jets secure #1 pick. We've seen this before.

If Bortles starts Denver wins by a touchdown.

Do I have to be the person to tell you that when Mims, Perriman, Crowder, Smith, and Bell return we will start to move the ball like an NFL team and beat the lesser opponents on our schedule?

It's like you sit there thinking this is as good as it gets when we have the worst set of receiving options any Jets quarterback has ever been forced to play with in team history.

Have you looked at our schedule ? What “lesser opponents” do you speak of. Doesn’t matter who comes back they’re not winning games

The Jets typically play to the level of their crappy competition. Don't be surprised if they lose in a you-can't-script-it-Jetsesque fashion. It would be atypical if they didn't, let's put it that way. And it's not even December yet, lol. 

[sec101row23]

Jets beat the Broncos easily.  Then we will have 10 days of talk about how the season is salvageable, only to get blown out by the Cardinals the following week.

No guarantee that those guys maintain their motivation, concentration and fitness throughout the season. 

Its difficult to turn around a losing team, these are players that are nowhere near their best, and they won't return to their best anytime soon. 

 

If all those guys are at their best, and in good shape, then i agree - it's a good offense.

Good offense? What? They were healthy week one did they look good?

When we get Perriman, Crowder, Mims, Smith, and Bell back we at least have a fair fight against non-playoff teams.

Cardinals
Chargers
Dolphins
Dolphins
Raiders
Rams
Browns
Patriots

You know how almost every expert had the Jets at 5-6 wins perfectly healthy?  Those up there were the games those wins they were referring to are coming from.  I had the Colts and Broncos on the potential W list too, but we're way too beat up for that to be a reasonable expectation.  Patriots too, but I saw a split.

With our full compliment of offensive weapons, Darnold seeing legitimate separation and reducing errors, a ground attack, and Gase opening the playbook, we will get our 5-6 wins.  And that's all JN fans were expecting back in July, so let's all chill, get healthy, and let the season play out.

Mims is a rookie with basically no training camp or practice time. Perriman grades as a historically bad WR. Smith is a classic JAG that Jets fans fall in love with before they ever do anything interesting. Gase no desire or aptitude to design an attack utilizing Bell's strengths.

Saying that things will be materially better with these guys is disingenuous bordering on delusional IMHO.

No expert assumes "perfect health" when making projections. They assume a team doesn't lose their starting QB. That's it. After that, the depth of a team and its ability to respond to the inevitable injuries (i.e. coaching) is baked into the prediction.

Ah, but this is the one thing that Gase proved to us last year-  that he was able to take a group of downtrodden 1-7 players and motivate them to a 6-2 finish.  Gase is good at this.  Did it in Miami too.  It's his wheelhouse.  He's the perfect head coach for a midseason turnaround.

Disagree, as we haven't seen Mims, Perriman, Crowder, Smith, and Bell on the field at the same time.  We can add Becton returning and Fant too.

Bingo.  The turnaround all Jets fans are looking for comes from a massive mid-season player upgrade, not a coaching change.

This is the most Jetsy outcome.

We eek out a meaningless win against one of the worst teams in the league, hurt our draft position, save Gase for one more week, and give the youth in our fanbase a sliver of false hope, only to get smashed by the Cardinals.
