I am pretty excited for the season, and have been reading all sorts of NFL articles. I've been reading this season preview series, and I thought you may want to read the Jets one. I think we will do better than 5-11, but what do you guys think? Do you think year one of the Bowles regime will be a down year? Is this prediction right? http://walterfootball.com/offseason2015nyj.php
The Jets would have to play absolutely terrible to go (5-11). I think that will be difficult for even a Rex Ryan-coached team to pull off right now. They were a complete disaster last year and won 4 games. I think 6 wins would be a disappointing low and 11 wins would be shockingly high. So somewhere in there, likely (9-7) makes sense to me.
That's just ... idk.. typical media-on-jets crime. we're at least 6-10 at worst... No way i'm okay with saying after everything this team did this off-season that we only improved by 1 game.. we didn't blow the most money in the NFL for just one more win.. didn't have a top 5 draft for just one more win... i hate everybody
Just check out all the different Power Rankings that are out there. The Jets are ranked between 23 and 30, and every single one have the Pats, Bills and Phins ranked higher than the Jets Here is SI's rankings: http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/05/20/nfl-power-rankings-offseason-seattle-seahawks
lmao they didn't even give a good explanation as to why we'd be the 26th best team... or the 6th worst team... ridiculous
I think the floor for this team is 6 or 7 wins and the ceiling is 10. I don't think it's even possible for this team to win 5 games. As bad as the Jets were last year, I still think they managed to underachieve. They found some comical ways to lose games. - Sheldon Richardson illegally calling a sideline timeout to negate a game tying touchdown in Green Bay. - The refs incorrectly negating a fumble returned touchdown against the Bears, then the Jets had a chance to tie anyway and failed on 4 plays inside the 10. - A game where they had over 40 minutes of possession against the Patriots, outgained them by 100 yards and lost on a blocked field goal as time expired. - They decided not to let Geno throw the ball at all against the Dolphins, running for over 200 yards, then he threw a deflected interception to seal a 3 point loss. - Geno throws a pick 6 on the first play from scrimmage against the Vikings, they fight all the way back, then lose on an 80 yard screen pass on third down in overtime, in field positon where they could have mustered a game winning field goal. - Geno takes a sack to put the Jets out of game winning field goal range against the Patriots, and the kick is then blocked. I understand that over the course of a season, a team is going to have close losses. But by the end of the season it seemed like they were inventing ways to intentionally lose games. Since by that point I was rooting for a higher draft pick, it was almost hilarious to watch. Like that Titans game where time expired in regulation, but the refs put 1 second back on the clock, and the Titans nearly scored on a 60 play with 4 laterals on the ensuing down. Just a ridiculous season. The schedule was also laughably pitted against their biggest flaw. Their cornerbacks sucked ass in the preseason, then Dee Milliner got hurt, Dexter McDougle got hurt and Dmitri Patterson decided to go AWOL and got cut. So a horrible unit turned into a NCAA Division II level unit, and of course in Weeks 2-7 they played Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, Matthew Stafford, Phillip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, all of whom are accompanied by either dynamic #1 receivers or prolific tight ends. Predictably, they went 0-6 in that stretch. Despite all of that, they still somehow won 4 games. I refuse to believe that this team, with a #1 receiver, actual corners, a new offensive coordinator, games against the Browns, Redskins, Jaguars, Raiders and Titans and a backup plan at quarterback, is capable of winning 1 more game than last year's team won. I really can't see them winning less than 7 games.
I wonder how many more games we could have won last year if Rex had better game control, as well. For instance, in that Week 7 game against the Patriots, the Jets frantically drove down the field to set up a 58 yard game winning field goal. However, they went into the drive with 0 timeouts remaining. I have to imagine if they had at least 1 or 2 they could have set up a 50-55 yard shot, giving Folk a much better chance. It falls on Geno too. Both of them call too many unnecessary timeouts. Typing that season review also made me realize how many clutch moments Geno came up small in. He was very good at the end of games in his rookie season, leading the NFL in game winning drives, but he really didn't come through when we needed him last year.
So tired of "Insider" predictions ....who gives a shit what some asshole with an agenda and a keyboard thinks at this point
What's the QB play going to be like? How hard will the injury bug bite? 5 to 9 wins seems like a reasonable range for the Jets this season.
I'd be disappointed but not terribly shocked. If I had to guess I think we finish 7-9 at the lowest and 9-7 at the highest.
So many questions right now, but I think 7-9. We have to give the team a steep learning curve, of course.
I recal 2012 coming off b2b afccg we were ranked top 3 Then watching it drop every week sucked I ptefer 2009 when we wetr ranked bottom 30 only to march up the charts all season.
Five wins may sound a little low, but it is in the right ballpark. I do not think this team is going over.500. I would say 6-10 if I had to predict. I also do not think it is off base to think we are the worst team in the division.
It's reasonable for writers to take the pessimistic side of a pessimistic quarterback situation. Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
