As of May 15th...very early, I know! I have the Jets down for an 8-9 record in 2021. This might be a couple more games than what most fans are predicting for the season. I think 6-8 wins is definitely within reason. I think there are quite a few "toss up" games and we also don't face off against many elite QBs either. If you watch the videos and enjoy them, I would appreciate it if TGG members would subscribe! It is a grind to create the content and any support would be very helpful
I agree with most of the predictions - personally I would switch the Denver and Atlanta games. I don’t see a young QB like Wilson winning out there in Mile High - the Broncos have a tremendous advantage in their home climate. The Falcons though are definitely beatable. I agree with the Jets finishing right around the .500 mark....nice job.
Not a prediction, but it's kind of refreshing not to have to play the Cheats in late December. However, it almost gets canceled out by having to play Tom Cheat & the Bucs in early January, which I kind of feel is some kind of an inside joke that I'm not privy to. Anyway, a Cheat in Bucs clothing is still a Cheat.
I can see the team perhaps winning as many as 9 games, but everything would have to break almost perfectly for the team to win 8-9 games. I think it more likely, that they win in the 6-7 range. It all depends on how quickly the players grasp the systems, how good the CS is in teaching/developing the players, how well the schemes fit our players, staying healthy and injury-free, and how good the CS is at game planning and managing the games.
Wilson went to BYU... which is in Utah....he also went to HS in Utah. I don’t see the mile high climate as being a disadvantage to our new QB.
I do. HS and BYU wouldn’t translate to a rookie QB going into Denver and pulling off what will most likely be an upset. The entire team is going to playing the game - not just Zach - and it usually isn’t very friendly to opposing teams particularly rebuilding ones. Denver’s home field advantage is among the tops in the NFL along with KC and even NE to a lesser degree. Maybe they do end up winning the game but I see Atlanta as the more winnable game at this stage anyway.
How anyone can look at this cake schedule and not come away with a 14-3 record is beyond me. I feel bad for the teams that have to play Saleh and the Jets.
Eh it’s all in good fun. Honestly, it’s hard to make predictions week by week during the season let alone in May. We’re not even sure who some of the starters are going to be yet. But, at least the team seems motivated early on as 80 players showed up to voluntary workouts today - more than expected. If the Jets do wind up approaching the .500 mark then it’s been a successful start to a new era with a lot to look forward to.
Actually I just meant that the wins and losses didn't equal 16 games. It just looks wrong. Like changing the year when you're writing a date in January.
That'll take some time to get used to. I thought the 16 game season was perfect and all that was needed was eliminating the last preseason game.
Hey, it's only natural...we all have decades of conditioned behavior. We've been conditioned to believe that the Jets will never get it right, that we can't have nice things, etc.
They shoulda at least done something fun with the 17th game. Something like.... --In the 17th game, there is no kicking. No FGs, no punts, no extra points Or --No player can play 17 games, so teams must manage the extra game with their starting lineups or -- in the 17th game the teams with the best record on down get to pick their opponent, until all games are picked.
I can see #2 maybe ..... the other two options are too wild in my opinion. And the NFL is already getting too batty with their ‘ideas’.
Nothing breaks that conditioning better than winning games. Until that happens it's just a bunch of fluff and offseason fodder.
