Assuming we lose out until week 17... And the Patriots are eliminated from the playoffs... Could you see Belichick throwing the game just to keep us from the number 1 pick?
If we lose out until week 17, we'll be locked in. "Not if the 1-win teams also lose out." They won't.
simple way to react: we start all backups, including the #3 qb, as we announce that we are going to evaluate players . if we do it ahead of time, the gamblers and the nfl office can not complain about it.
We might have a two game lead on the pick at that point anyways. Looks like we're trying to prevent a win by keeping Darnold out this week. There's a pretty good consolation prize waiting for us at the #2 pick if we get that one anyway. He plays for Ohio State.
if you end up with the same 1 win as some other teams, you won't get the 2nd pick, due to hard schedule. the teams with the easier schedule get in front of you.
Bill Belichick is almost 70 years old and couldn't care less about the Jets future over the next 20 years therefore he couldn't care less about the Jets getting the #1 pick or not.
If you think this, then you don't know Bill Belichick. We're the team that exposed his spying scandal and that was after he already hated us. Al Davis went to his grave in his 90's completely hating the Jets. Bill Belichick will do the same.
I get that but the chances of three teams finishing with one win are extremely small. As we stand - only three teams will finish with one win or less after today. Giants Jaguars OR Texans Jets The Giants also play against the only team they've beaten today as well.
The Giants won, the Jags lost on a failed 2 point conversion. If the Jets have shown anything this season, it’s that they can win even when firing on all 2 cylinders. We’re not getting a single win this season.
