    I think he means he'd rather be playing for a playoff spot, but yeah, I would love to beat the Patriots Week 17 if it means costing them a Bye.

    It certainly would start the narrative that the times, they are a changing.

    Can you imagine, upstart Jets with rookie Sam Darnold at the helm knocks the Pats out of the bye?

    Would be delicious.

    I get it now. I misread it that it sucks to play spoiler, period. When your season is in the crapper, spoil away,

    I've got to go to this soaker of a game on Saturday because my good friend's friend is coming into town to watch her kid who's actually starting for the Texans which is probably the only cool part of this story. Just picked up some cheap ass ponchos on amazon lol. Sad state of affairs that I have absolutely zero interest in going since I sold my season tix before last year.

    Johnson Bros, you better fix this franchise mess!

    But think of what that win would do to the draft picture...

    Just want Sam to stay healthy. That's really all I can ask for the rest of the way.

    Also, activate Burnett. You have to see if he's worth a 2019 roster spot.

    When was the last time the Jets played a December game which actually mattered? In the Jets checkered past, 80% of the time the team has been finished at this time of the year.

    Full practice yesterday for Shoe Booty. Well, the Jets haven't finished strongly because the season isn't over yet, but . . .

    I especially liked this:

    “I’m definitely not going to flinch if I feel like something is there. And if I throw an interception, I’m definitely going to beat myself up about it for a bit, but at the same time, move on and if a play is there and I see it’s there, I’m gonna rip it again. I think that’s just kind of the way I am and how I play, so I’m going to continue to do that.”

    EDIT: Psychic and auspicious? Draft order concerns versus Darnold's progress. Were you happy with the win today?

    I work a 2nd job saturday afternoons /evening.... may miss this one (at least in detail).... there's a good chance it'll be streaming on the store's laptop.
    I usually want it to be busy to make time fly (and $) but hopefully this sat. is the exception ;)

    The 2nd guesser dream matchup. Another game against a team with a QB we could have drafted last year without moving up. Darnold and the Jets D can make Mac look really good. Watson and the Texan D can make him look really bad.

    Mac has to be judged on Watson and Mahomes vs. Darnold at some point.

    Yeah but he was a USC quarterback. Everyone knows they can't play in the NFL.

    This is strange. Why are the games on Saturday this week? Don't get me wrong, I love it, and think there should be a couple games on every Saturday. I guess they are trying something new? Usually this only happens when Xmas is on a weekend.

    It's considered taboo or something to compete with college football and that's just dumb. They would probably get better ratings on Saturday than Thursday.

    Late season Saturday NFL games have been scheduled for decades.

    They have a deal with the NCAA and the networks not to compete on Friday night and saturdays during the college season.

    I love love love 4 pm games. I don’t hate the 1 pm games but truly. Give me as many 4 pm games as possible once Jets are somewhat competitive and worthy of national 4:25 pm games.
