DoubleDecker Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 It very well may be possible that the 2022-2023 Jets are a better team, but not be much better record wise than last year. Looking at the schedule, I can definitely see our team producing a much more watchable/talented product on the field, but falling out of the playoffs within the 7-8 win range. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear, I was seeing after the draft a decent number of posters in the forums mentioning playoffs. Decided to take a closer look and I don't foresee a playoff berth. I would be pleasantly surprised, but I see 7-8 wins max with us still lacking experience at key positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going with 7-9 games. And vastly improved team from top to bottom. Honestly if we do stay relative healthy. And balls bounce our way. I will not be shocked if the JETS do contend late in season for a wild card. Again that to me is best possible scenario for this year.

Popular Post GreenFish Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 6-8 wins is reasonable. Where I need to see a big jump is not so much wins, but in Zach Wilson’s play. Zach playing better will translate to some wins of course. But if we are still reasonably debating whether or not he is a FQB after the season, it’ll be a disappointing season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjasi Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 8 wins is a reasonable goal and would constitute a significant step in the right direction (doubling last season's win total, probably "in the hunt" to start December). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 We're not even in preseason yet, and already we have several preemptive attempts to excuse being a losing team. The rest of the NFL are not all unbeatable juggernauts. If we're alot better, especially at QB, which we should be on paper in our 2nd year in these systems, there is no reason we cannot win alot more games. There is absolutely no reason to start preemptively excusing losing now, in June. Unless you just have no actual belief or faith at all in Saleh, Zach or this roster. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Last year, it was obvious to anyone paying attention that it was going to be a rough year, and the injuries just made it that much worse. This year’s team is harder to get a handle on. If everything falls into place, they could prove David Carr right. But when does everything ever fall into place for the Jets? At least the coaches aren’t rookies this year, and the systems are in place. There are veterans (even if they’re just in their second seasons, themselves) who can help the rookies and free agents get up to speed, something that didn’t exist last year. All of the primary talent is so young, with another big group of rookies expected to be major contributors, making it difficult to predict. Offensively, there’s a lot riding on GWilson and Breece. On defense, it’s almost all riding on Sauce and JJ. I’m expecting a bumpy ride but an improved product overall. I’m not afraid of the big, bad schedule, and I’m looking forward to seeing these coaches’ game plans. I believe that they really want to get over .500 this year, but are trying to tamp down any expectations - which, imho, is smart. The main objective is still incubating a FQB, but I expect much more urgency when it comes to actually winning games this year, too. I’ll be good with 7-9-1 or better. Really just want to see them get off the double digit loss snide, and win a couple/few divisional games. And maybe drop a 50-burger on Belichick’s face, that would be nice. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much better would be like 5 not double. To play devil's advocate if the Jets won 1 game last year and doubled it, they'd have 2 wins. Double does not always equal "that much better" and I never claimed to be a mathematician, so great assumption. Regardless, "not much better" is subjective and I elaborated in the post on how I see that. If it's significantly better to you, that's cool, we're rooting for the same team!?

There is absolutely no reason to start preemptively excusing losing now, in June. Unless you just have no actual belief or faith at all in Saleh, Zach or this roster. I agree with this. I think talks about how hard our schedule is just are dumb. We have no idea what teams will be like when we play them. Every year there are 5, 6 or more NEW teams in the playoffs which means that like 20% of the good teams fall off and 20% of the bad teams get better. If we do not include the draft at all, we STILL massively improved on both sides of the ball. Our talent level is significantly better than last year and if our draft is as good as we think not only is our entire talent base much much stronger but we have more depth as well. It is folly to assume we are either better or worse than any team on our schedule. Sure some are more likely to be better than not but as an example: And injuries basically decided everything anyway. Take Buffalo: Everyone assumes they will be like unstoppable, but their schedule is as hard or harder and they were 11-6 in the regular season. That is strong but not that dominant. In the playoffs Allen put his body on the line and they played differently than regular season. Not only can Allen not play that way in the regular season, his style of play ALWAYS diminishes. Even big sturdy players like Allen cannot continue to play the way he has Baltimore: They have next to nothing on offense and Lamar was slowing down even before the injury. I mean Balt hasnt even signed him so you know they are On a similar note, Wilson was slowing down before going to Denver. He is effective because of his extending plays and that capability is rapidly declining. NOT saying that any of these teams will fall back but they might. Only thing I know is that 1. Zach is on year 2 and in the same system 2. Our TEs are massively improved 3. Our WR group is upgraded 4. Our OL is upgraded on the interior and should be good at T (though we desperately need to sign someone) 5. Our RB room is upgrade 6. We have a very upgraded CB and safety group 7. Our EDGE rush should be much improved 8. Our linebackers are suspect and our run defense is a huge ???? Overall though we should be much improved. But NO ONE knows how much and trying to quantify that through a projected record is just complete folly. Plus there are probably 4 or 5 players at least that are not even on our roster but will be 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope so, but they lost Crowder and Cole and gained a rookie. Don’t get me wrong, I’m pretty psyched about GW, but it remains to be seen if he’s an upgrade this season. Becton >>> Moses. The starting OL should be better than last year’s. They do need a starting caliber backup at RT, though. 19 minutes ago, johnnysd said: 8. Our linebackers are suspect and our run defense is a huge ???? Easily the biggest question mark. These guys don’t like to do a lot of scheming, but I suspect that the significant upgrade at CB will allow them to have one safety in the box on most downs. Otherwise I agree. The parts are generally improved across the board. It’s a matter of getting them all on the same page ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coming season: SECOND year QB, THREE viable TE's, TWO very good RB's, THREE dangerous WR's. A capable OL. Yeah, I don't see it either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
