I wouldn't say half. The team might be a dog in every betting line. I think 2-14 is more realistic personally. For better or worse..
What I'm sure of is that Jets, as inept as they are, and even if they keep Gase won't go winless. At the least both N.E. and the Bills will play their scrubs against us once they have their playoff berth locked up and provide us with the "opportunity" to screw ourselves by winning a couple of meaningless games. SOJs.
The Jets couldn't beat the 49ers practice squad. I'm not sure they are beating a BB coached practice squad. I'd be surprised if we get 2 wins. I'm banking on ATL and NYG to win some games.
We'd better hope the Pats and Bills need to win to get the division title. Otherwise I could easily see Belichick telling his players to lose on purpose.
You are a great Poster my friend but this prediction is way out there lmao Did you see how the Raiders Bills Browns and Dolphins are shocking the world?? Some have more or less talent than others but the Coaching/Management shows up every weekend Speaking of Coaching I betya Bellichek finds a way to win even without Cam The Charger game may not even be a toss up imo with them almost topping the Saints last night! Not so ridiculous to go down on all 8 :/
It's funny, when I posted that, I knew some people would think it is outrageous that I said the Jets could go (4-7) the rest of the way. Even though (4-7) would be terrible, many people would still say that is out of reach for the Jets. Sad but true.
Here's our schedule, with my prediction and reasoning: @Miami: Loss (They are playing well, motivated and healthy right now. We're on the road and banged up. Plus their coaches and players know our team well) Bills: Loss (One of the best in the league right now, in the middle of trying to win division) @chiefs: Loss (Traveling out west, Chiefs in a fierce fight in a hard division, they will be motivated) Pats: Loss (Cam should be back by now, they will be in a fight for division/wild card) @Chargers: Maybe Win/Probable Loss (Road game out West, Herbert will be more seasoned and he's already good, but they have been playing bad overall) Miami: Maybe Win/Probable Loss (We usually split with them and their on the road, our weapons will be healthy now and more seasoned) Raiders: Loss (They will be in a division/playoff race, have too many weapons for us to cover) @SEAHAWKS: Loss (They shouldn't be resting starters at this point, cross country, Adams will be motivated) @Rams: Loss (Cross country again, they will be in playoff hunt at this point, Donald will wreck our interior line) Cleveland: Loss (Way too many weapons for us to handle, they will be in a playoff hunt at this point) @pats: Loss (Away at Gillette, they should still be in a playoff hunt at this point, Cam would have a full season by now) I think the Miami and Chargers games are the most likely wins on paper, this is assuming no major injuries or Covid issues. That's not realistic, I know. But in the spirit of fun, we project. I honestly think we need to lose out to get the first pick--1 or 2 win season is very likely for multiple teams this year and we lose the tie breaker with most. Plus, don't put it past our incompetent ownership to keep Gase if we win 4 or more (I made a prediction in another thread on that.)
How is it ridiculous? Have not you not seen the defense? They can’t stop anyone. No matter if Sam starts to not suck all of a sudden, this defense can’t stop or slow anyone down. LeVeon and company are going to have to turn back the clock to score enough points to win a game. Every team they play from here on out is worlds better talent wise. The Jets had their shot to win a game this year and they blew it against Denver.
I can't say I'd be super shocked if we lost out. The team is bad and a lot of times when teams are as bad as we are and 0-5, the coaching staff will start calling plays loosely, going for it more frequently in fourth downs, blitzing more, etc. This coaching staff hasn't shown they will do that and we play scared every week with 3 yard passes. But considering all that - it's really hard to go winless in the NFL. And week 13 is going to look a lot different than week 6. Especially with Covid stuff. One or two of the teams we play down the stretch lose their QB to Covid and have two offensive lineman out due to injury and their starting corner, that game is much different. Everyone can root the way they want. But I don't ever wanna dip into the 0-16 fan. I'd hope our guys have more pride than that and our ownership go on a coach firing rampage before that gets near.
How you have this much optimism after everything that has happened..? Is amazing. Seriously. I thought we might have a chance at winning ONE of the games against the Phins. After last week, I literally don't see where we win now.
The chargers are really good. Herbert looks really good. This is a definite loss. the Seattle game will be telling because their defense can’t stop a nose bleed.
The Jets offense is bleeding out all of it's orifices right now. That said, the minute the Jets truly go in the tank we'll win a game or two because Jets.
I think you had an editing problem when you typed in your list - it includes the Browns and the Bills.
You know that’s an interesting concept...I can’t see forcing owners to sell, but what you are getting at is something like the English Premier League, where the bottom feeder teams can get relegated down to a minor league that would directly impact revenues and profits so it’s a good deterrent ... but there is no minor league for the NFL...
It's just tough to lose all your games. Even the Bengals went (2-14) last year. (Beating the Jets of course) It's not really optimism in the actual team, more like looking at games and seeing if there is a possibility the Jets could win. Could they put together a good game plan, execute it well, and the other team make mistakes? I can see that happening. Even in the Cardinals game, Arizona looked bad for a while. The Jets did not take advantage and lost by 20. Little key moments can shift some of these games. Hard to imagine the Jets miss out on them for 16 straight weeks. You never know how the Browns will be come Week 16. They could be playing for a playoff spot and completely blow it against the Jets. Wouldn't surprise me. Especially if the Jets have an interim coach by them. And Buffalo is a stretch, I agree, but I could see the Jets winning. That game is next week, so it is hard to imagine the Jets change their ways by then.
I think if we go 0-10 into the bye, #1 overall becomes very likely. That would mean dropping both to the Phins. Then the Chargers away becomes the most winnable game. Which is still playing a more seasoned Hebrert across country, plus some of their injured players will be back.
If the stadiums are no-gos for a few seasons, as seems possible at this point, the economics of a bunch of things NFL and NY/NJ area begin to stagnate. The shared TV money is the backbone of the NFL's financial structure and parity paradigm. However the expenses of operating in a big market aren't going to be covered entirely by TV revenues. The Jets and Giants both have loans out still from the construction of new stadium. They both have overhead in other areas based on the cost of doing business in New Jersey. Their share of the TV money is no more than the small market Steelers or Jaguars. At some point something is going to have to give.
