    I'm at a loss for this season...

    We're 3-7. Even if we somehow ran the table, the odds are 9-7 would not get it done. With two games against NE, and the way this team is playing, that would take a miracle anyway.

    What is there to root for? Do we cheer to lose for a better draft pick? Does that even matter when the draft is a crapshoot?

    Do we fire everyone? Do I find something better to do on Sundays? I have no idea...

    It's a lost season. Time to evaluate the veterans and develop some young players.

    Cut Fitz. Cut Revis. Cut Folk. Cut Gailey. Cut Bowles. Trade Richardson. Drink Whisky. Hibernate. Draft DL in 1st Round. Murder Wife. Burn House Down. Suicide.

    We aren't going to beat NE or Buffalo. So 10 losses at the least.

    Id give this staff at least 1 or 2 more years. I truly believe if we had a talented qb and a rb(Dallas) that could take it to the house at any given time this coaching staff would get more respect. Enunwa and Anderson need more touches. I can see their desire to run after the catch whereas Marshall is protecting his broadcasting career. Dallas fans were hating their coach...talented qb's make a huge difference.

    You can't give them more than 1 year if they have a season like this. I'd say MINIMUM 8-8 and looking improved is the only way they get more than 1 year.

    Look at Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota today. Tanking works. Give me Mitch Trubisky.

    Trying to think of a single thing this team does well.

    Defense? The secondary is a joke, and our vaunted D-Line gets almost no meaningful pressure and allows big game-sealing runs as the game goes on. Watching the overpaid remains of Darrell Revis is just sad.

    Offense? QB play is beyond awful which nullifies any excitement for our WRs, even switching to Petty provided zero spark -- in fact, it seemed to have snuffed out whatever life this offense had -- and while Forte/Powell are good, it's not enough.

    Speci...nope, not even gonna finish typing.

    And then there's the coaching. Everyone shits on Bowles, and he's earned it this year, but my god why is Chan Gailey still employed? Other teams have fired their OC this year, why can't we???

    There's just not a single compelling reason to keep watching, just blind loyalty. Is that enough? Probably, eventually, but I need a break from this shit. Thank god for the bye week.

    This was Jets/Cardinals 2012 all over again. At least we won that game.

    Don't forget our vaunted D line that can only stop the run when teams simply don't try to run on them because they are too busy throwing all over them. But when teams focus on the run they gash'em left and right.

    1-2? Just give the ten year guaranteed contracts.

    There is absolutely nothing this coaching staff has shown that warrants 1 more year, nevertheless 2. 1 year is no less asinine then 10.

    I see an ugly scenario shaping up...

    Fitz isn't going to play and he'll blame his knee. This throws Petty and Hack to the wolves. They're not ready and he knows it. This also will shake their confidence when they play against NE.

    The rest of the team sucks as it is so they'll lose. This provides the compelling argument for him to try and negotiate a contract to come back next year even if for less money. There aren't likely to be many available options as a QB who can start.

    Jets will have to try and draft someone. They release Petty. Fitz sticks around a year or two to collect money. Hack eventually gets thrown in again and may or may not be ready. Fitz Retires. Then you have some untested draft and Hack so they bring in some other washed up veteran to start the cycle all over.

    Draft pick makes no difference. You can suck for Luck or suck for the duck or whatever.....those guys don't look like they're winning a SB anytime soon. You're better off lucking into a Tom Brady or Aaron Rogers or Dan Marino or Joe Montana....or any number of QBs who weren't taken as a top 5 pick. Would you rather have one of those or Tim Couch? Akili Smith? Ryan Leaf?

    Do you really have faith in this Front Office to make the right pick?

    Make the right pick---don't worry about when it happens. The Pats bust on draft picks worse than most teams, but they trade down all the time and end up with a ton of picks. Some of them have to work out, and when that happens, BB look like a miracle worker instead of a statistician.

    If anything--suck for the high pick--then trade down and get lots of picks for it.
