The 2015 Schedule is out!

More than likely they will be playing Tennessee or the Skins if they are home opening day. If it's a road game it's probably Oakland. The NFL likes the opening day matchups to be as even as possible record wise from the previous season. If it is Oakland it would be the later game on the MNF opener.....CBS doesn't have a 4:00 game the first week due to the US Open...

 

we can lose to anybody

 

4-12 / 5-11 at best. I was thinking 5-11 this year but...... The Jets ain`t gonna be better next year. More than likely, much worse than whatever they end up being this year. And THAT alone, will be tough to accomplish.

Keep your hopes quiet. This franchise ain`t doing shit for another 5 years. Every team who has the Jets on their schedule are relieved. Easy win for them and that goes for the Jags, Skins, Texans and Tenn. Oakland is probably the only team who can`t say shit about anyone on their schedule.

 

Yea, just ask the Steelers.

 

I assume the other 4th place teams are clinched into that spot, hence why our schedule is official?

 

Yes, I'm well aware of that, you.

 

These teams will be hard to beat.
The Bills won't be a pushover next year if they get decent QB play and their RB's stay healthy. Their defense, if it stays intact is nasty and they're set if they get QB Play.
Patriots are the Patriots, tough win regardless and without Rex's defense will be harder.
Dolphins are hard to figure out but they're a player or two from being really tough.
Colts will not be an easy game.
Eagles will not be easy.
Cowboys will not be easy.

This second group are currently beatable but for the most part they all depend on the type of QB play they get in most cases. The Giants if the Good Manning shows up next year will belong in the first group of teams.
Giants really should be better than a sub .500 team. You give them a healthy receiver corp next year and the good Manning instead of the bad Manning and they're a really good team. Question is which Manning will show up next year.
Redskins have all the talent in the world but need consistent QB play to be really good.
Browns are a team that if they get good QB play will be really good, if they don't get good QB play they'll be easier.
Texans just need consistent QB play to put them in to being a really good team.
Jaguars are the Jaguars, but with good QB play they won't be an easy win, they have a lot of the right pieces but they're not quite there.
Titans are another team that's on the brink of going from really bad to really good, I think they need a new HC to bring discipline and more consistent QB play.
The Raiders, it all depends on who they bring in as a HC and if they can bring discipline to the team. If that team plays with discipline they'll be really good next year if they add a receiver weapon and upgrade the O-Line a little.

Now the Jets, the reality is if this team was an 'opponent' team they'd be ranked deeply in that second group.
HC is status is unknown except that the current HC is 99% likely gone.
GM is unknown, 50/50 if the GM is here next year or not.
QB is a black hole void, where as the other teams have QB's that are at least marginally servicable the Jets don't.
WR corp is average at best and if we take the green goggles off is below average.
the O-Line is one of the worst in the NFL overall.
the CB's are a disaster area, though there are a couple of promising young CB's that were injured this year so we'll give that an incomplete, but it's a big concern.
the Safeties at this point are average at best, though they are young with a lot of promise. It's hard to judge the safeties due to 1 rookie and one that was playing CB most of the year.
the LB's are a 50% good 50% bad lot, they despartely need a new ILB and a new OLB.
the DL is an A+ unit and no concerns there at all except potentially losing the two nose tackles.
the RB's are pretty solid, but they need a home run hitter (praying for Duke Johnson).

In short as things stand right now the Jets belong firmly at the bottom of that 2nd group. I'm not surprised, rebuilds take a couple years to turn a roster around and make it a really good team again. 2 years ago the jets were a team at the tail end of a win now mentality and their roster was built that way, a lot of aging over priced veterans and a very thin depth chart. It's why I'm not on the fire Rex and fire Idzik Bandwagon, I always felt it was going to take 3-4 years to turn things fully around....but the real undoing of the current roster is and has been the lack of a top half QB who can shoulder the load.

Edit, just my opinion on the current view of next years schedule, yes it's easier than this years but it's the kind of schedule I hate when you have a bad team because it will make the team look better than they really are (most likely) and lead to a sense of false security, much like 2011 (I think it was 2011 anyway).

 

CAN'T WAIT for the next thrilling Jets-Titans game!
Where's my red pen??

 

Johnny sucks at football @ Jets week 1

 

CBS no longer has the US Open. It's on ESPN starting next year

 

Nice two games in Texas this year.

 

NBC doesn't take games. They are assigned by the NFL. As to FOX or CBS getting the previous games, until this season it was determined by which team was the visitor. AFC at NFC, CBS game. NFC at AFC, FOX game. The NFL also controls flexing games to Sunday Night Football and CBS/FOX cross flexing on Sunday afternoons, though CBS and FOX can 'protect' a certain number of games from being reassigned.

 

Actually that information is not corrcect. When they create the schedule nbc, cbs, fox sit in a room and basically draft games. NBC gets to reserve games, cbs/fox/nbc can't reserve games multiple seasons in a row. Pats broncos has rotated between nbc and cbs now because each year one has power and one doesn't bit if you look at 2011 when the Patriots played the broncos with tebow, cbs had the game, cbs also had the game in 2012 because cbs had not reserved the game the year before, neither did nbc so cbs had the right to reserve it from nbc because they hadn't picked that game the year before.

That's how the schedule creation works. The networks have a voice in the games they recieve, and they have certain powers to take certain games based on rules the nfl has created.

 

And the NFL makes the final decision.

 

No thats not true at all, if NBC wants Patriots-Broncos next year, THEY GET IT. Their is no NFL decision, its part of the contract that NBC signed with the NFL. They are allowed to pick out games.

You said that the Networks just sit there and basically get handed a schedule, no thats not what happens. They sit in a room and go through each game, certain games they can take, other games they cannot. There is a whole list of rules that they have to abide by.....

 

I was really hoping we would have had Dal at home.

 

It's a terrible schedule for the Jets, they have to play the Patriots twice again during the year.
When will the Jets ever stop getting these brutal schedules?

 

Is this really the best you can do?

 

So we can keep Geno another year? LOL!!!

 

That was by far hardchargers best post.
