McNeil Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Joe D tore down this roster and re-made it in his own image. He hired Saleh and together they've shaped the team in their image. This roster will be largely unchanged next season. If they can't cobble together a Wild Card berth this year so long as Zach stays healthy, then they had it all wrong. I mean come on, with this amount of talent they should beat Miami & New England at home, challenge them on the road, maybe beat Buffalo once - that right there is a good start. *If the Jets don't make a Wild Card this season, should we expect them to make a Wild Card next season? I won't. If they don't make the playoffs this season, for me it would mean they don't know what they're doing. I was/am all in on Joe D, Saleh and Zach - the time is now for them to make a move. In the NFL capable regimes can make the playoffs fast - the cream rises. With a belief in a regime is an expectation of results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorP Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 My only mandate would be being in the hunt in December. Division and conference is too hard to put a mandate like that on a building team. While now D has done great with what he had to build with.... we still have unproven positions and lack of depth at others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 The old "playoff mandate" thread. These are usually opened after a positive day of Jet news. The disease in Jet fans cannot handle the positive news so the playoff mandate thread is opened. Very sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rex-n-effect Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I don't know where people come up with the idea that such a mandate ever exists but if it did I don't know how you get from four wins to thinking the team is a lock for at least ten wins.

Been a dog sh*t sundae ever since. For me the problem with Rex is that he was a lunatic with a specific set of skills. Once he had the early success, he got power in the organization and giving a lunatic like him that power is catastrophic. He was able to play the whole "I was being held back because of my attitude" card. What he needed was a CEO above him that had the power to say no, but would give enough leash in a "Just win baby" manner. I think the two AFC Championship runs gave Rex too much power and ****ed him in the long run. If Rex weren't crazy he would have had his own GM candidate ready to bring in when they sh*tcanned Tannenbaum. Someone that was reasonable, but he could work with. I would have, but I am not a lunatic. Gase did and he is a lunatic. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets need to start winning games, pure and simple. With that said, a playoff mandate this season simply isn't being realistic. This is a young team. There are going to be some bumps in the road. The Young and The Restless 😬 It’s the youngest team in the league. Correct? Zach Wilson was mediocre in his first year BUT it was expected considering the lowly OL he worked under, and missing multiple games in his rookie season and the multiple injuries suffered by the wr corps that definitely derailed his progress. Add a rookie HC/ OC and you have a recipe for disaster. BUT Wilson made great strides in 2nd half, so there’s reason he’ll continue to mature. Now the spicy stuff. This offense has been transformed. Three new sparkling TE’s. LaFleuer will now be able to run sets he’s always wanted to. Becton alongside Tomlinson, will fortify the OL providing Zach protection. The WR’s, hopefully will stay healthy. Moore, and Wilson will open things up underneath. Davis is the key IMO. He needs to stay healthy to take pressure off the kiddies. Berrios is Berrios so all upswing there. Mims has been pointing up so that’s encouraging. Then we have what I feel is the key ingredient to this offense, RB Breece Hall. People were screaming NOOOO RB before round 4. I was even influenced by all the screaming. But since JD hit on CB, WR and edge with his first 3 picks, taking a RB in round 2 is forgivable and brilliant since we stole the BEST RB in the draft. Hall will be dynamic in this offense and we haven’t had a RB like this since Freeman McNeil. Add a revamped defense that should get off the field and provide better field position through the game, this offense should flourish. But playoffs? The schedule is just BRUTAL. They’d have to sweep Pats and Fins and split with Bills. And even if that’s accomplished, it’s still a huge long shot. But progress, real progress is the hope for this year. 8-9 wins would be a huge achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
