The Jets controlled their playoff fate the past two weeks, but only bothered to show up and take a large dump on the field. Miami is a division rival that always plays the Jets tough and would like nothing better than to send the Jets packing. Despite their record, right now, Miami is also playing some good ball. If Miami got up say 10-0 or so, I have ZERO faith the Jets offense could get them back in the game. I think the other games become moot as the Jets lose their third in a row and put the exclamation point on a season of mediocrity.
The Jets seem to play much better when they don't actually have the pressure of controlling their own destiny. I think the chances of a back in are better than 50/50. The Jets tend to shit the bed when they control their own destiny.
I agree, I think there's a good chance they back in. If the offense keeps playing the way they have been I'm not sure I can take it. I can't watch that crap any more.
This is the NFL. At least one team should be rewarded for sucking and I'm not ashamed to believe we deserve to be that team.
Hmmm I have to revise my prediction and say I give it about a 20% chance. Even though I think each independent outcome has a good chance of happening in the Jets favor. Here's why: 75% chance of Balt defeating Cincy 50% chance of Houston beating Tenn. 75% chance of either SD beating Oakland or KC beating Denver 75% chance of Jets beating Miami So, 3/4 times 1/2 times 3/4 times 3/4 equals about 21/100 or 21%. Pretty discouraging. if you bump up the probabilities to 80%, 60%, 80%, 80% you still get only a 30% chance of it all happening like that.
It's not 10%. Not saying it will happen but Houston, Baltimore, SD and the Jets are all better then the teams they are playing this weekend. The Titans aren't that good, Houston at home can easily beat them.
Put in the equation that they've lost the last two weeks in embarrassing fashion, one to the Colts and are gonna have 11 days off before they play this Sunday and I could see them easily beating a very medicore Tennessee team, who they blew out earlier in the week, this weekend. Teams don't like going into the playoffs on a 3 game losing streak.
Yeah cause percentage wise it's alot of games but truthfully, I don't think it's so unreasonable.... Plus, like many have correctly stated, who the heck knows if the Jets even win.
Jets can come back from 10pts down They've done it several times this year They had ball on 50 w/5 minutes to go vs Giants down 6, after being down 13. Better play calling might've resulted in a TD, maybe even a victory there. They were down 28 vs Eagles in the bat of an eye. That's too much for anyone to overcome.
I'd guess the probability of Indy beating Houston or KC beating GB was roughly around 13%, if not lower. Means nothing, really.
Talk to there coach then, he's the one who said they are playing there starters the whole game and are trying to win.
Can't find that exact site, but here's one based on efficiency ratings of each team: http://files.nfl-forecast.com/ The number will be different depending on how each site calculates it, but the number isn't going to be very high. I'd guess less than 15% across the board considering the combination of things that need to happen. Like I said, it really means nothing.
Except they are pretty good at last game "win and ins" Win and in: 1981, 1985, 1991, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009 lose but back ins: 1986, 2004* * 2004, OT vs. Rams, then found out they were in during OT and "played not to win the game". win but in before last game played: 1968, 1969, 1998, 2010 lose but in before last game played: 1982 win but out before last game played 1967* Oilers beat Dolphs on Sat nite. Jets beat Chargers the next day lose and out: 1993, 1997, 2008 Also Jets need to win, so it wouldn't be a back-in BTW, this is the first time in their history that I can recall that they could win and still be eliminated on the last day
