I think you're nuts. We've got more choices than we know what to do with at LB in general, Greene is a good solid NFL back and LT is going to be useful just like he was last year. We've been dealing with the same FS shit for a while now and Pool/Smith can only be better with an extra year under their belts...meanwhile we've added depth at CB to alleviate some of the pressure on those 2. I can see things getting messed up by Schotty not being able to step up or oline injuries forcing us into death by Ducasse...but that's about it. 10-6 is still a big stretch even if a lot of shit goes wrong. 11-5 seems like a more solid pessimistic approach.
the depth in certain areas scare us every year, and things seem to be fine anyway. The Jets starters never left the preseason without a lead, and they gave up one TD all preseason to the Bengals. If the AFC is going to be that tough this year, then they won't make it due to a tiebreaker which isn't as bad as losing out because they didn't win enough games. They're good for 10, and can push 13. I think we are underestimating Sanchez's breakout ability this season.
I do like the odds but not enough to start sportsbetting. Seems like good value at the moment but the line is also pushed up from the Patriots' looming presence. It's hard to win 3 road games...I think we've proven that quite well.
Big Shock from a Pat's fan, Jets go 10-6 and miss the tournament. This is a prediction thread so.......... Unstable offensive line gets beat up early by the Cowboys, Ravens and even the Raiders. I think Sanchez will miss some time this year (2 -3 games). Not wishing for it, just think teams are going to sense weakness in the oline and try to blitz the crap out of the Jets this year. Only time will tell. Whatever happens, Good luck.
