Pitt is also in trouble. They still have New Orleans and New England left on their schedule. They could very well miss the playoffs.
Bad snap on 2nd down + Dak getting sacked within an inch of his life on 3rd down = overtime in Dallas.
Ravens finish with Bucs/@Chargers/Browns, Steelers with the aforementioned Cheats/@Saints plus the Bengals. Whoever survives that shitshow, I don't see them making much noise in the playoffs; they'll likely be the 4 seed, and the 5 seed will be whoever finishes 2nd in the AFCW who will easily kick their ass.
I think the Ravens have a better shot just because a run game and defense can travel. Pittsburgh just won't be able to stop anybody.
Yeah, and you said "this only happens to the Jets" precisely as it also happened to the Niners and Raiders.
I think what he meant was 'only the Jets could blow a gift-wrapped chance to move up in the draft order by winning a useless game', whereas SF/OAK are already ahead of us and thus lucked out with us winning. I think. I also disagree with that entire line of thinking, but thats a separate issue.
Let me explain myself to you so you understand. The Jets always win games that they are not supposed to win at the end of the year under the circumstances.
Anyone know why Kittle didn't have a single catch in the second half after having 7 receptions for 210 yards in the first half? He finished the half 4 yards short of the NFL record for a tight end, and he finished the game exactly those 4 yards short.
Let me explain myself to you so you understand. Lots of teams do exactly the same thing, like the Raiders and Niners just did, so saying "only the Jets" is simply untrue.
I get caring about winning rather than records but damn...they couldn't get him a quick 5yd toss? Maybe they double teamed him? Otherwise I don't uderstand not going back to the thing that got you the big lead in the first place.
Oh fuck you, Cooper with the game winning TD off the deflection, and there go smiling Cowboys faces again. Fuck you.
Only the Jets have the GM and coach answering directly to the owner. Except those other teams that do it.
Every year it happens to every bad team (unless they're extraordinarily bad, like the Browns have been) - they win games they're not supposed to, lose games they're not supposed to, and mostly lose games because they're bad. It's the essence of the short football season - it happens in every sport, but you notice it more in football. Just last week the Jets lost a game they had no business losing - funny how that fact is conveniently ignored. Now them winning that game would have pissed me off, since it was with McCown at QB, and would have truly been pointless. Today's win actually has positives attached to it. Feel free to be unhappy about the Jets losing draft position (I have mixed feelings myself), but if you're doing it because it happening is somehow only a Jets thing, you're simply wrong. It's an everybody thing.
