I'll stay with 9-7 until I see how we stack up against the big boys like NEP and the Cowboys (on the road). DC is going to be a good measuring stick for this team. A good defense and coming off the bye (considering our record after the bye).
100% agree. Tougher than I thought, but winnable. They'll probably be 2 and 4 before the jets play them. Though at Houston is looking much easier than before.
By the time we see the Bills in game 10 there will be plenry of tape on TT so I think you're overrating their QB advantage.
9-7 sounds about right. I definitely think either Skins, Raiders or Jags will be a tricky game. The NFC East seems like a thorn in the Jets side. Those games out in Oakland are always whacky against that team.
The Raiders are going to be a trap game, of which the Jets have about a half dozen left on the schedule. The Jets lost to the Eagles because Chris Ivory and Eric Decker were out. End of story. They win a tight game despite the other screw ups if both of those guys play. The teams that can actually beat the Jets on a talent basis this year are in New England, Buffalo, across town and in Dallas if they get their guys back. Every other game is a trap game.
I think our ceiling is 8-8. but expect us to be 7-9. I think we lose next week against the Skins, and probably lose to the Raiders.
I think we are 6-2 at the halfway point (at least we damn well should be) but then the tough games begin.
Remaining QBs on the schedule include Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, Blake Bortles, Brian Hoyer/Ryan Mallett, Ryan Tannehill, Marcus Mariota and Tyrod Taylor. Throw in Brady and Romo. I'm horrified. What a far cry from the murderer's row from weeks 2-7 (Rodgers, Cutler, Stafford, Rivers, Manning, Brady) that helped drop us to 1-6 last year. And now the secondary is actually good.
You think Kirk Cousins is going to beat our defense? Derek Carr? I don't think either of those guys have a clue what's coming their way. Carr at least will be checking down like he usually does in the face of the blitz, however you have to move your team consistently, just getting a pass off isn't enough.
I try not to put too much stock into these numbers as we all know how misleading they can be but I am interested in what the WR stat is because tbh I don't see many better WR combos than Marshall-Decker talent wise, and it seems that production-wise they've been lighting it up too. I wonder if this has to do with a lack of our 3s and 4s contributing.
it's offensive receiving yards per game (jets-27th at 231/buffalo-21st at 247) from nfl.com stats. if total yards, jets are 26th at 924 and bills are 20 at 988.
One game against a team that is not ready can net you the difference. Essentially what you are posting here is 2 categories for the same stat.
I think 9 or 10 are doable. The AFC East has the easiest schedule they've had since 2008 (when 3 teams went 11-5). I think the Bills will win 8 or so also.
