Never much paid attention to this facet of draft positioning but that's a lame rule. Playing head to head should be the first consideration. If the Jets had Denver's schedule it wouldn't have made any difference.
To be precise, h2h isn't a consideration at all for draft order. It's SOS, then division/conference tiebreakers (if the tied teams are even in the same div/conf), then....a coin flip. I'd think if one beat the other, the loser is a shittier team, but I guess the logic is a team that sucks even when playing a bunch of lightweights is worse than a team gets beat up by a brutal sched, which makes some sense.
Same old Bowles. Does it week in and week out and yet the cardinals are rumored to want Bowles to replace Arians as their HC if he doesn’t come back. I would gladly have the cardinals take Bowles off the jets hands. The jets ceiling with Bowles isn’t very high IMO and if he does come back for 2018, I think it will be yet another year of head scratching and infuriating decisions. This is what happens when mediocrity is the barometer for success. You set the bar low and want the team to play hard but nothing else is expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Come on 101. Yes Petty was horrible, but Bowles is by no means any good. SD was a few drops away from toasting us. His command of the game is non existing. Not challenging the fumble today was simply pathetic. He does not have the ability to make any significant mid course corrections. And he has no clue how to change the system to fit the players strenght. He is a one trick pony. He absolutely needs to go. He was just not the right pick for a HC.
We can go as high as 4, but very unlikely......Houston, Denver, or TB wins....but they will all be heavy dogs.....we are in a virtual tie w SF for 8th, after tomorrow's games, if Phil and Pitts win (it will be even)......so we have a decent chance to get 7th, just by SOS.......
It is. Head to head is completely irrelevant for draft order. https://operations.nfl.com/the-players/the-nfl-draft/the-rules-of-the-draft/ The best the Jets can do is 5th, the worst they can do if they lose next week is 8th, the worst they can do if they win next week is 11th.
That's not what I've seen. The Jets and SF have the same strength of schedule (.521), which means they are truly tied for 7th and 8th, and a coin flip would decide it. http://www.tankathon.com/nfl Of course, chances are they won't be exactly tied after next week, and it's way too complicated to try to figure out what has to happen for the Jets to have a better strength of schedule. Better for the Jets to lose and the Niners to win and make it simple. It's hard to see at this point the Jets' SOS being higher than Tampa Bay's or lower than Denver's, so add in those two teams winning and the Jets finish with the 5th pick. The SOS of Houston is too close to tell if the Jets could pass them also if they win, but I suspect not.
Get down on one knee and try hard to reacquaint one's self with God, any God will do for this scenario to happen.
http://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-j...e-jets-can-make-a-late-leap-in-draft-position I hate to link a Cimini article, but it says that the Jets could get the #4 pick if San Fran, Tampa Bay AND Denver all win. It's unlikely, but any given Sunday, right? Maybe the stars align, but knowing the Jets luck... My hopes are that Cleveland drafts Darnold. I see the Giants taking Barkley at #2, it makes more sense for them, since their running game was a huge weakness and Eli has a few more years left in him. Indiana doesn't need a QB either. So you could see Rosen fall to the Jets at number 4, I'm just worried about other teams trading up with Indy or Cleveland's other 1st rounder (from Texans). Denver is a threat if they finish ahead of us, so every Jets fan should be rooting for them tomorrow.
