Icer Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I thought we would be closer to 7-9 than 4-12 and Darnold would look better than ever. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made no predictions about wins and losses because I know that's a fool's errand. After the team was gutted (see above), I thought they would be lucky to win 5 games and that 4 wins was more realistic since they play Miami twice and some other "softer" teams like Denver. I did not expect them to be non-competitive. I did not expect them to be so bad that they have been placed in a class by themselves. I did not expect them to be the most disgraceful team in the NFL since the 0-16 Lions. This is the lowest point I can remember in 55 years of being a Jet fan. I hold Woody, CJ, Adam Gase, Mike Maccagnan and Joe Idzik responsible. this is their legacy. I'm a few years ahead of you in terms of Jet fandom, TMAC, but I can honesty say that this Jets team has the least amount of talent of any that I have seen. I wasn't blinded by the finish against all of the cream puffs last year, and anyone could see that this year's schedule was infinitely more difficult. I was hoping for 5 or 6 wins, but now I look at the remaining games and I don't see any that we can obviously win or even be competitive. This is the lowest I've ever felt as a Jets fan, and being 67 years old and a cancer survivor, I hope I'm able to last through the inevitable 3-5 year rebuild. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I predicted 6-10, thinking we'd be better than last year but would face a much tougher schedule. The team -- most notably Darnold and the defense -- are way, way worse than I expected. That much was very clear Week 1, so by the time Week 2 rolled around I had pretty much given up all hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 The REALIZATION, in caps. Hmm, must be important. OK, I read it. I decided there is no such thing as taking a light-hearted comedic approach to the Jets. GALLOWS HUMOR FOR THE WIN. Hey, maybe we can hang out sometime . . . ?

Joking about the bolded part, but I'm sorry for your troubles on the serious, earlier part of your sentence. Stay well, hear? The Jets are a blip on the radar of what's truly important. Much luck to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viermoo Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I said before the season began that I thought they’d win three games. If this was The Price is Right I’d lose for guessing too high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop24 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I knew this team had high chance to bottom out after going over the entire roster and not seeing one standout player. There was some potential guys that could be something but thats it potential. No legit proven standout players including the QB . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker89 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I figured we were bottom 10. 6ish wins considering all Gase can do is play round hole with square pegs. But I I figured it would be watchable because: Sam would take steps in the right direction- wrong Bell would find some sort of success behind a league average O-line- wrong Perriman would play to a WR 2 level - wrong (hasn't seen the field) Mims would be a solid rookie contributor -wrong (hasn't seen the field) - Herndon not being a complete trash bag I was one of his detractors but I didn't think he would be this bad. -wrong - Robby... As many of you know I did not think the world of The Robby Anderson. I did not think he would be missed or that he would ball out in Carolina. I miss him as does Sam. He's been balling out in Carolina. Happy for Robby ....I was -wrong I've never been accused of being an optimist but I didn't think we'd be historically bad. @bitonti @FidelioJet Did I eat enough crow in this post my dears? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the Jets were a 5 to 6 win team. At this point, it appears they're so bad that 3 wins is probably their absolute ceiling. Just call me DINGBAT for being so pathetically optimistic,.........lol The problem isn't being wrong--that happens to everyone--it's that every year it's the same story: 1. Some are optimistic. Some are pessimistic. 2. Optimistic fans blast pessimistic fans and question their fandom and "loyalty." 3. Pessimists proven correct. 4. Brief period of optimists acknowledging they were wrong but never apologizing. 5. Optimists forgetting everything and going right back to #1 the next season. You'd think at this point the optimists would say "hmmm... maybe the pessimists have a point or at the very least aren't part of some vast anti-Jets conspiracy." And by the way, even if JD nails the draft, next year is going to be ugly also. I'm sure I'll be called a troll or whatever when I predict something like 4-5 wins next season.

bealeb319 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Right now it feels like we will go 0-16 however we all know that is not jetsy enough we will have to win just enough games to keep us away from pick one then we will draft the "can't miss wr" who suffers a career ending injury In the preseason.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using JetNation.com mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmajix Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 IMO if the Jets organization thought there was ANY chance this current roster could win 7-8 games, JD would have made at least one or two more aggressive moves in FA to try and pick up an extra win or two to make the expanded playoffs. JD took a calculated risk he could cobble together a serviceable O-line and secondary shopping the clearance rack and gambled on immediate production from his draft class. JA knew it was going to be a full blown rebuild and skipped town. CJM did too and opted out beginning the downward spiral on the defense that kept them in a few games last year. JDs plan obviously failed so his only hope for anything positive this season is to secure the #1 overall pick. Williams is smart enough to know he’s done in NY after this season so i wouldn’t expect any amazing turnaround from the defense. Gase on the other hand is ego driven enough to think he’s going to still prove he’s smarter than everyone and do everything possible to win an extra game or two in a lost season even at the expense of developing some of the younger players. This is why they should fire this guy and get him out of the building. They won’t of course and the season will end with this team more hopeless than ever before in the history of this sad organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJ1 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 For me watching is sheer, morbid curiosity. But I do think there's a lesson to be learned here..... The Jets had TWO decent players here before the season. Jamal Adams and CJ Mosley. Shame on you if you thought despite trading Jamal and losing Mosley to COVID that the Jets would still find a way to be good. Talent matters and the Jets have NONE....

Crowder, Perrimen, Mims, Herndon and Bell with an improved (but still below average O line) seemed like enough to allow the offense to improve with Darnold and to score enough to be in every game and I really thought the D would be better in the second year under GW. I was COMPLETELY wrong. The Jets have never failed to overpromise and under deliver. It should be their motto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While most of the site looked at the schedule as a killer, I saw a bunch of below average, inexperienced or jag QBs on our schedule. In conference we had Josh Allen (thought he would suck) Fitz/Tua. & Cam/Stidham Other games inlcuded Herbert/Taylor, Murray, Lock, Mayfield Goff, and Carr. Only QBs on our schedule that really scared me were Mahomes and Wilson, both on the road which I assumed would be Ls. I really thought the defense would keep us in all of our other games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I thought the jets were a 6-10 or 7-9 team. Harder schedule than last year. I thought Darnold would be a better with a second season in the same scheme (wrong). I thought the defense would be bad against the pass, but did not expect them to be bad against the run too.
