9-8: 7th Seed - Playoffs?

[Jigsaw89]

1 down, 4 to go.  This season has been a mess but until we are out, I will root like hell for this team!  Give me a reason to watch the Jets on Christmas - Squish the fish!  

Win out and we have head to head tie-breakers over Broncos, Texans, and Browns should they fall to 9-8.  Chargers and Raiders are done.  Not sure tie-breakers over Steelers, Colts, Bengals and Bills maybe someone can chime in.   

Browns, Steelers, Colts, Texans??, Bengals, Chargers and Raiders all playing back up QB's.

Also sorry for any sort of optimism in advance - I was at the game yesterday, in the pouring rain.  So I'm still a little drunk 😁

Crazier things have happened?

If we beat Atlanta like we should have, then there would be a shot.

If we beat Vegas and Atlanta like we should have, then we would be looking good.

If we beat New England, Vegas, and Atlanta like we should have, then we would be talking division lead this week.

We have no one to blame but ourselves....and by ourselves I mean Robert Saleh.

Not beating Atlanta at home (good job starting Tim Boyle in two straight games, coach!) and choking away the raiders game will almost certainly end up costing us a shot at the playoffs 

very frustrating

Agree. Could have also beaten the chargers and KC too. Too many winnable games thrown away this season. We had a pretty nice schedule and couldn’t capitalize.

The ridiculous conservative game plan against NE was just as bad and there is no way we should have lost that game. Saleh is trying to every game 10-7.

Well I am not including those because we can steamrolled by the Chargers and were never in the game and KC we certainly got screwed by the refs at the end, but Saleh's D put us in a 17-0 hole and then let the Offense actually play which brought us back. My point of blame to

Saleh is his conservative offense. Against the Raiders we had a decent lead and was moving the ball a bit. Then we went into a shell which cost us the game.

[Barry McCockinner]

beat the Fins and we can start looking at this more realistically. it's a pretty big long shot right now. someone else posted that even if we win all our remaining games it's only an 11% chance. So win out and then you have A♦️K♦️ vs 9♣️9♠️ and the runout is T ♠️ T♣️3♣️6♦️ with only the river to come.

I thought Zach was really bad in that game, tbh

He was and I’m not absolving him of blame. But you have to try and score, uptempo, something to pit points on the board. That game was like a high school game.

Jets are 14th out of 16 with 4 to go

How different the narrative would be right now, if we won those 3 and we should have

[Hex]

Love how everybody's like "PLAYOFFS!!" a week after tankathon was the big talking point

[Nixhead]

Jets win 1 game out of their last 6 and we are talking about winning out and the possibilities of the playoffs - you got to be kidding me - only Jet fans could think like this - unflukkingbelieveable - and you know what? Count me in!!!😎

[jetsons]

I’ll add my 2 cents when the jets Are 9-8. 👍

[Rangers9]

You can only hope but I don't see Zach being consistent for 4 more games. But I guess if we were to hang in there and had a chance last game of the season they'd bring in Rodgers if cleared.

Anybody but Zach beats patriots at home earlier in yr. Zach looked like he was playing for Belichick, but then again he always does when pats in town. Should have beat chargers, raiders. Somehow thanks to the D jets had punchers chance in those games despite Zach playing beyond horrible.

2nd overall pick, now playoffs 🤣

[jeremy2020]

to be fair.. Dolphins at 9-4 with a 2 game lead for the division are talking about missing the playoffs now..

The sad thing is, Zach was directly responsible for a 17 point swing in that game on his 2 fumbles and sack. Jets should have won that game IMO

[DJF71]

Pretty close to mathematically impossible, it's 100% no chance that Zach can win 5 in a row.

Some of you are on crack! One good game from this coaching staff and you guys buy in that quickly. 
 

We have no one to blame but ourselves. The Falcons and Raiders games alone will hold us back.

Yes, and even in the more bleak Mac years there were winnable games that they just didn’t.  But let’s not forget the bills game was kind of a fluke win.  And what’s also true is every year there are teams that streak to the front of the standing but then falter at some point.  There seem to be quite a few teams this season that can be staring at 9-8 or 10-7 records.

[faba]

Much as I would like to say yes reality sets in and says we blew our chances with games and teams that we should have beaten with average offense games

[FlightBoyz]

Lets start by beating the Phins. Take it game by game, week by week. Anything is possible. 

[RevisIsland610]

[Biggs]

I would be reluctant to predict the Jets in the playoffs. 

[Guilhermezmc]

Don't do this to yourself

[DoubleDown]

Almost certainly won't happen, but never say never.

Please allow us to introduce you to the next phase of the Jets’ 2009 season: garbage time.

The cold, calculating 31-14 beat-down the Patriots put on the Jets yesterday at Gillette Stadium leaves the Jets reeling, their season in a free fall heading straight to oblivion.

Making this result particularly alarming was the fact the game was a last stand for the Jets, a final chance to push themselves into the race for the AFC East title.

Instead, it became a sad last dance, because the party is over.

The loss — their worst under Ryan — leaves the Jets at 4-6, three games behind the first-place Patriots in the division and looking up at most of the AFC in the wild-card race. Really, any talk of the playoffs at this point is utter folly.

I don't see anyway the Jets win 4 in a row lol. 

But what WILL be interesting is the Dolphins. They have Jets, Cowboys, Ravens, Bills. ALL of those teams will be fighting for something. That's a very tough out for them. 

It would be delicious if they crumbled. 

Bills have it easier, they could def snatch the division. 

[playtowinthegame]

One dominant win got people believing. Lol

If the jets offense continues to play like it did against the Texans they're going to have a good shot at winning out.

Was it a fluke or did they have a break through? Last year we watched the defense absolutely suck for several games before they broke out.

I'm more skeptical about the offense than I was with the defense and I absolutely wanted ulbrich fired
