ESPN got it right: Jets @ 17


Recommended Posts

The teams he’s claiming we should be ranked higher don’t have the floor this team has. In a game of madden, sure give me the jets. We’d be able to use all of our players when a new game starts. For NFL football though, pretending that a lot of our additions + Rodgers will be healthy all season long is unrealistic. The jets are one of the least successful franchises in the NFL over that last decade+. Middle of the pack is what they deserved to be viewed as. No issues at all at 17.

These rankings are designed to ruffle feathers and create more content but it isn't out of line. The team has a lot of question marks right now. Lots of guys coming off injuries in important roles--most of all the QB. The coaching staff hasn't changed. The defense must prove itself against offenses trying to put up more than seventeen points to win a game. This team needs to win games, period.

Disrespect?  Stop glorifying the overrated offseason.  We patched holes with aging-crippled OL to protect a 40-year old QB coming off a major injury.  What do you expect?  Be realistic and you won't be disappointed.  

So you are expecting the Jets to go about 8-9? That’s roughly what the 17th best team in the league is.

That was exactly my prediction from another thread.  8-9, we miss the playoffs and everyone gets fired.

Sounds about right.  Cant be any higher unless you have done it.  Have lots to prove this year and they will.

Is there a new person posting under this username?

Sounds like you’re pretty consistent.

I think that’s definitely a possible outcome. I would not be surprised if the Jets finish 500ish, miss the playoffs and everyone gets fired.

It’s not what I’m expecting, but I would not be surprised. Personally, I think we’ll win roughly 10 games and be a bubble playoff team (just squeezing in). Going to depend on how good Buffalo and Cleveland are this year. I could see Buffalo taking a step back.

This is what I am anticipating.  This is not a 12-13 win team (like the one coached by Mike McCarthy that we did not want).  In week 18 we will be crossing our fingers wondering if we made the playoffs.

I can't believe you're just ignoring how very, very important these preseason - and frankly, in-season - rankings truly are. 

How do you know you're winning if you don't have week by week power rankings to keep track? :D

sounds about right tbh. The Bears at 16 is insane though.

good thing none of this really matters.

Well, for the Bears, they had a good offseason.

On the other hand, the Jets haven't done anything on the field to prove they deserve a higher ranking.

Wait...
