We have won 2 games against them one at home one in Denver. Rookie HC, new system. Not impossible.

They lost 23-0 in Denver in 2017 they literally haven't scored a point in Denver since 2011, another 17-13 loss The 2010 Jets won in Denver 24-20 (that's an example of a strong team overcoming the road trip) in 2007 the Jets were also shut out 27-0 they won in 1999 (Rick Mirer to Keyshawn) and we can keep digging but the road history is brutal So just to review the Jets are 1-5 the last 6 times in Denver, and were shut out 3 of those 6 games. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=nyj&tm2=den&yr=all 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Zach Wilson is kinda meh still it's a game we should be in. If Zach Wilson is Drew Lock? Yeah, we're screwed. Have to hope that's not the case. I just refuse to have expectations that we'll lose every road game and to every good team and will be lucky to go 6-11. The time for this team to make a leap is now.

I don't know if I'd qualify myself as a Wilson "believer." There were times last year where he clearly didn't belong on an NFL roster. That said, I think the offense at times last year looked extremely frisky. I this scheme is QB friendly. I think Douglas has done a great job of rebuilding the line and acquiring weapons. Simply put, even if Wilson still sucks there should be a baseline competency expected on offense. I don't think he needs to be a top 15 QB for this team to be respectable. And if, with everything lined up for him, he does make a huge leap? Watch out. This offense could be legitimately good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets have a lot of talent right now, it’s just that a lot of it is still unproven. Coaches have a big job this year. Winning or losing didn’t matter last year, the offseason the Jets just had tells me that there’s gonna be a lot more emphasis on winning this year. The primary focus is Zach, as it should be, but they’re clearly looking to protect him with a run first philosophy. A lot of the badness last year was no one knowing what they were doing for much of the first half, and then everyone hurt for most of the second. This team has enough talent to be good. It’s up to the coaches to get all the new starters in place and up to speed, which is no small task. Obviously, Zach has to be better, too. The pieces are there, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are a historically crappy team. They lose to most teams on the road. Denver on the other hand has had a historically good team. They have a ton of 9 to 13 win seasons. You would expect them to kill the Jets at home most of the time regardless of geography. One of the reasons Denver is considered a tough place to play is Denver has been mostly good. They had a lot of stability for a long time at the ownership, Coach and QB positions. Since Kubiak left they have been a crappy team without stability at the top and HC positions. It's easier to beat them either at home or on the road. RW has been a great QB. He is also an old QB for his age. He has taken a pounding and it's not surprising that he got injured last year and missed games. Seattle, a pretty good organization felt okay moving on.

Do I think the Jets will be far better on the field? If Zach lives up to his potential/hype, yes, I do. Do I think that being far more competitive every week will pay dividends in the win/loss column? Not as much, actually. I think 5-12 or 6-11 are both quite possible vs. this schedule as we stand here today. We'll just have more 28-21 and 21-17 type losses and fewer 51-3 losses. The difference is, if Zach IS the man, and takes that big step, it's more reasonable that 7-9 wins could also be a thing, albeit quite a lift. As Bit says, start with "can we beat the Steelers at the Steelers" type questions. Will we not get swept by Miami and Buffalo. Will we finally beat New England? It could be both a big step of a season, and very disappointing, ultimately, in terms of W/L. And I don't say that often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the fat part of the distribution curve if my rants have a point it's that most people are living in that tail end and ignoring any other outcome yes there is an outcome where Zach wilson becomes Josh Allen but even that didn't happen until JA's year 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I was just about to post a new thread about "projected" win totals. All over Twitter there are Jets fans taking about how this should be a 7 win team! 7-10? Are you kidding me? What is this hoping they win :"just enough games" so they still are "players" on draft days? I don't want to see them win any less than 10 games and a playoff berth, and from the roster they are building I think it is doable.
