Crashes happen to be mostly on road games since a lot of people on the site have season tickets, and end up going to the game. But still, there would be a lot of buzz about that.
I'm not even talking about gameday, if it happens...I'm talking the minute the Jets find out who they play, and if it is KC, this board will go in overload on how bad Herm should be berated and the countless threads their will be on the matchup... And just imagine the week leading up to it, LOL.
That looks brutal. Here's how I see it if the season ended today making our other 2 games final. HOME New England - W Buffalo - W Miami - W Cleveland - W Pittsburgh - W Philadelphia - W Washington - W Denver - L AWAY New England - W Buffalo - L Miami - W Baltimore - W Cincinnati - L Dallas - L NY Giants - W Jacksonville - W 12-4 as of now. But hey, screw 07! We're not done with 06 yet. Gotta finish strong, reach the playoffs, and make our run at a championship.
12-4? No. We have a hard schedule. I'll make an early pointless prediction too. 10-6. As of right now. Why the hell are we predicting now?
Joking you were, but here's 2009 anyway- Home- Jaguars, Titans, Falcons, Panthers, Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, AFC North team Road- Texans, Colts, Saints, Buccaneers, Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, AFC West team (maybe at Herman Edwards and the Chiefs?) 2010 is unknown at this time. When the league realigned for 2002, the future opponents were determined for the following eight seasons. From 2002-09, every team would play every other team at least two times, both home and away. After the 2009 season, the league will decide whether or not to continue with the same rotation or to change it.
Hehe. Yup. I'm geeky, so I follow these rotations. I find them interesting. I like the scheduling rotation a lot. It's perfect and very symmetical. I also found it strange stinky that before the rotation was implemented, there were a lot of weird quirks, such as these: Oakland did not play in Pittsburgh from 1981 through 1999. Miami and Denver played once between 1983-1997 when Dan Marino and John Elway were in their primes. Green Bay and Washington did not play from 1989-2000 and have not played in Washington since 1979. Atlanta and the New York Giants did not play from 1989-1997. Pittsburgh and Kansas City have played five consecutive times in Kansas City. Green Bay played in Dallas four years in a row from 1993-96. Tampa Bay has never played in Buffalo.
I knew Tampa has never played in Buffalo, very very strange we are talking 30 years but I did hear it before..... I think GB played at Washington in 2004 because it was around the election and I remember the announcers talking about the whole Democrat-Republican thing depending on whether or not the Redskins win that week....the new rotation eliminates alot of the quirks but interestingly enough it did not help the Jets as they played in Oakland 5 straight years in a row, 2 of them after the rotation was changed.....
Well I'll tell you what you left out 2008 and that looks very discouraging with 4 that's right 4 trips to the west coast (at Oakland, San Diego, SF, and Seattle). The NFL should have planned a little better as the Giants were forced with the same thing last year....
I love your prediction but realistically at this moment we're looking at 10-6. Keep in mind, the Jets have always done poorly when playing the NFC East -it's just one of those things, in 1987 the players strike ruined the team's chemistry and we finished 0-4 against the NFCE, in 1993 we squeaked past the Giants and Washington, in 1996 we only beat Arizona and the last two times the Jets have had to play the NFC East in 1999 and 2003, we had decent teams but lost our starting QB before the season even began effectively ruining our season and not playing well against those teams. We are 2-6 against Dallas all time, 1-7 against Washington, 0-7 against the Eagles, and have lost three straight to the Giants. Hopefully the 'curse of the NFC East' doesn't bite us in '07 because I'm looking foward to a good season.....I expect wins against both the Eagles and Redskins at least...
Yes, Green Bay played at Washington in 2004. The Packers won, 28-14. Tampa Bay will finally go to Buffalo in 2009. It's funny how the league created the rotation in 2002. They constructed the rotation in such a way that the Buccaneers would not go to Buffalo until the final year of the rotation. (It's a coincidence, of course.) Yeah, so, in their 34th year of existence the Buccaneers will finally play a game at Buffalo. Another scheduling quirk was the Buffalo-San Diego rivalry. Nothing was weird in the 1960s and 1970s. They met 4 times in the 1970s. They met 19 times in the 1960s. They were charter members of the 8-team AFL and they also played against each other in two playoff games, so that explains the 19 meetings. It became odd in the 1980s. In 1980, the Bills won at San Diego, 26-24. In the postseason, the Chargers won 20-14 in San Diego. That was back when the Chargers always wore white jerseys at home. In 1981, the Bills won 28-27 at San Diego. The teams met twice in 1985 in the regular season. This was due to the fact both finished in last place in their respective divisions in 1984. The Chargers won each game. They won in Buffalo, 14-9. They won in San Diego, 40-7. The teams did not meet again until 1998 in San Diego. The Chargers won that game by a score of 16-14. The Bills and Chargers faced off in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, and 2006.
I actually remember the 1981 Buffalo-San Diego game. The Jets had just lost a heartbreaking 27-23 game to Seattle (who at that time the Jets had NEVER beaten) and at 8-5-1 their playoff hopes took a severe hit. Anyway, I was 10 at the time and my father was trying to console me when NBC in NY put on the remainder of the Buffalo-SD game, the Bills were up by one with a few seconds remaining but SD had the ball deep in Bills territory and my father was saying, "See, don't worry, Buffalo will lose too." Next play was a hand-off, fumble, and the Bills recovered and won the game. Boy, was I pissed....but the Jets managed to recover by winning their last two and got into the playoffs for the first time since 1969
Imagine a home game against the Chiefs. The Herm-haters (myself included) would be very emotional at that game.
