Yes for sure the would be sitting pretty with a two game lead for the 6 seed. Unfortunately that is one the cannot get back, but it is still nice to be in the drivers seat controlling their own destiny. It would suck if it was in the hands of another team. Before Cincy blew it against Houston I was afraid that it would come down to Cincy having to lose to Baltimore week 17. Then having Baltimore rest all their player and Cincy getting the win keeping the Jets at home to watch the playoffs.
Absolutely, Revis will make sure DeSean Jackson gets embarrassed. Offense just has to keep on rolling, but I have confidence that Moore can keep Schnotty in check. Giants will be tough but the Jets have the edge at "home", and the Dolphins - they will be severely punished
With Philly back in the potential playoff picture and a Giant team that cannot afford to lose, the Jets have their hands full down the stretch IMO. While they certainly can run the table I see lots of reasons they may not win out. I do think 10-6 may still get them in.
not going to happen. if you think miami is going to lay down for the jets the last game of the season so the jets can get into the playoffs you are sadly mistaken.
Of all the teams vying for the last WC spot, ONLY the Jets can lose the last 3 games of the regular season and still make the playoffs (mathematically, of course). A nice little feature of being in control.
Door mats don't have to lay down, they just have to be door mats. They were playing for their coach, now all they want is for the season to end. Maybe Jason Taylor will get all amped up, but then again maybe he'll pass out after breathing in too much of his ben gay
What? Philly is 5-8 and two games behind Dallas and the Giants, they're done. And we'll be nailing the coffin shut on Sunday.
The Eagles are likely done, but not mathematically eliminated yet. Using the playoff generator, if they win out (vs. NYJ, @DAL, vs. WAS), and the Giants and Dallas both lose their next two, the Eagles can take the division with an 8-8 record. But The Giants and Cowboys face the Skins and Bucs, respectively this weekend, so I don't see them losing given the urgency of that division right now.
Yeah, that's JUST what I want to see....the Jets lose their last 3 games and STILL make the playoffs at 8 and 8! Give me a break. I wouldn't want to see ANY team lose their last 3 and still go to the playoffs at 8 and 8....INCLUDING the Jets! If they lose even TWO out of their last 3, I hope they're out of it. I hate teams that "man down" in crunch time. Including us.
We need to take care of business this week against the Eagles. We cannot afford to take the foot off the pedal right now and even think about relaxing.
Then it's good that we play at 4:15 with the reality of elimination fresh in their minds. it certainly can't hurt.
Just as a historical note the NYJs have never/ever beaten the Iggles in a regular season game. for all your stat lovers what does that say about the upcoming game this Sunday :sad:
Thanks I was unaware of that stat but at least we did beat them in Giant Stadium several years back. In the Eagles case we have never/ever beat them is a regular season game. :sad:
man i remember back in 93 i think when the jets played the eagles at home. i think they had a big lead with esiason and mitchell and then...... the football gods woke up and put down the hammer. geez after that game i was as pissed as it gets when it comes to a loss even though it was regular season. seems like yesterday.
This thread is just about to become meaningless! Good job Jets. Way to show some heart and gutts and toughness. Friggin losers!
Time to stop dreaming. The Jets have shown little character and winning mentality in their most important game of the season. They are on their way to their most embarrassing and heartless loss of the season. It's time to start considering the changes that will be made in the offseason. There is reason to question whether Rex has the attention of this team.
Yes, that was the 0-3 finish that cost Coslet his job. We were 8-5 and looking OK and then spit the bit. That Eagles game was atrocious.....we got off to a flying start with Johnny Mitchell and then something turned against us, it wasn't the Eagles just getting long drives. I forgot what.
Not shaping up so well so far is it. I think someone forgot to tell the Jets that today's game counted. Neither O nor D have shown up.
