Popular Post slimjasi Posted November 1 Popular Post Share Posted November 1 The conventional wisdom seems to be that you will need 10 wins to get into the playoffs. It should be noted that, since the NFL expanded the playoffs to 7 teams in each conference in 2021, 5 of the 6 #7 seeds have been 9 win teams. The Jets get killed by losing tiebreakers to Denver and Pitt, but also have an opportunity to earn tie-breakers over teams like Indy and Jacksonville. Also, don't look now, but Houston is not a lock to win the AFC South - they still have games with the Lions, Ravens, Chiefs, and Cowboys and are pretty beat up. 8 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect the optimism, and I honestly feel the AFC is weaker than it's been in a while. The jets don't have a super easy schedule on the way out, but 6-2 the rest of the way doesn't feel impossible either. My main fear is the 3 divisional games to end the year. The phins have had our number in recent years and run the ball SO well - and now the Bills do too. To be honest, I'm not convinced the jets will do it, but it's reassuring that there's a small margin for error. We could really use an implosion in Denver. They do have the chiefs twice, ravens, and several other tough matchups. Edit: I can't help but feel like the blown pats and broncos games will be what ultimately killed this team. If they even get that close. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have the chiefs twice, ravens, and several other tough matchups. I'm not convinced, either. I said 7-10 a week ago. I might amend that to 8-9 after last night, but I still predict a losing record and no playoffs. But, as you say, 6-2 down the stretch is not impossible. And I totally agree about Miami. I'm afraid their running game will destroy us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post David Harris Posted November 1 Popular Post Share Posted November 1 Oh, the Jets will win some games all right. Let the hope creep in before blowing in the end.

What'll be the most crushing is if they finish with 7 or 8 wins, the temptation will last all offseason to put 4 losses purely on Zuerlein and say they shoulda-woulda-coulda won 11-12 games as though this sloppy team would still prepare/enter every one of the remaining games exactly the same (and so would our opponents). 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what I'm expecting. And then Rodgers & fans will walk into 2025 pretending like they were 🤏 this close to a playoff run instead of a team with significant problems. A coach may be able to iron out the worst of those, but still. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I feel confident the Jets will pretend to be in contention for a wild card spot just to ensure ruining of the draft pick before still ending with a losing record and an early vacation. Then we can all ask if maybe the Jets are really just one step away and simply need to quadruple down on the continually failing effort. Should be exciting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibby Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Sorry. Based on what I have witnessed from this current Jet team- it makes no difference whether or not they somehow make a run to 9 or 10 wins. They have zero shot of beating a good team in January. They lost to a pathetic patriots team for god sake. Yeah- end the drought to stop being the butt of everyone’s jokes, that would be good and would certainly welcome it. However, this team is not capable of beating the top dogs of the league- so….. not sure it matters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
