As much as I would love a RB, Perine showed enough today. RB is a true luxury imo. Too Rb always get hurt (Barkley, Gurley, etc). I think the draft needs to go: 1. Lawrence or Fields. Probably Lawrence. 2. WR. I think we get best bang for our buck here. 3. Trade back into mid round 2 for another 3rd 3..draft best interior OL 4. Three 3rds to use on a center, WR, and CB
I can definitely see Jerry Jones firing McCarthy.....taking over as coach...tanking the season....not signing Dak for $40 MM a year....and then getting another Southerner as his QB for the next 5 years for $8 MM a year in Trevor Lawrence.
There are some BAD teams this year... sometimes 3-13 is good enough for the top pick but it sure looks like there are several teams that may only win 1 or 2 games this year...the Jags, Cowboys, Giants, Falcons, Vikings, Bengals, Jets....some real crappy teams right now we certainly look like the worst of the bunch, but we’d lose on SOS tie breaker to all those teams, so we really need to continue this run if we want the top pick

I can't remember when so many teams had 1 win or less, let alone 2 wins. 1/3rd of the league has 1 win and we're almost halfway through the season. Is it just me "misremembering" or did we have greater separation with only like 5 or 6 teams this close in the past ? The situation with the NFC East certainly has bumped up the number of losers.
A quick off topic, man, the NFC East is just beyond horrible. Lawrence Taylor is flipping over in his grave and the freaking guy isn't even dead yet....Back on topic, two related pre T-Day thanks from my end, thank god Dallas got those two wins before their team went all fun house mirror on themselves...And thanks for the back to back WAS wins, those were HUGE...The fact that WAS/Dallas/NYG still have games left w/ each other is good, NYG has to pull one of those out...And, a mix of the three still have some games left against a few of the other 1 win teams, so there's hope. I'm a little nervous about the Pats and having 2 games left against them and the Jags are going to be a problem...The other thing I'm nervous about is getting to the bye at 0-9 and them firing Gase. As sad as it is to say, we don't need any self created sparks breathing life into this team at this point, especially with so many 1 win teams still left. Even one fluke win could be a killer this year.
This thing is gonna come down to Jets vs Jags for first pick and the Jets just may have to go 0-16 to get the pick. It might be ok though as Fields certainly looks legit and will make a great consolation prize for the team that finishes with the 2nd pick.
Week 9 against the Pats and week 10 after the bye against the Phins scare me. With Mimms, Perriman, Becton and Sam back we almost very briefly looked like a real offense yesterday. That first half performance yesterday might be enough to beat the Pats and Phins. We really need a 2+ game buffer on these teams behind us and I do not trust this team to do the right thing the last few weeks of the season.
Agree 100% Both of the Pats games are winnable. Especially if they lose vs. Buffalo this upcoming week. All of a sudden they are looking to next year.
Just because I'm bored and wrapping up my day at work, let's look at the 1 loss teams remaining schedules... NY Giants: vs Tampa Bay (L) @ Washington (winnable) vs Philly (winnable) @ Cincy (winnable) @ Seattle (L) vs Arizona (winnable IMO but debatable) vs Cleveland (L) @ Baltimore (L) vs Dallas (winnable) Takeaway: I'm no longer concerned with the Giants getting #1, they won't win all of these winnable game IMO but they have enough that I truly think they'll end up in the 3-13/4-12 range. Jacksonville: vs Houston (winnable but probable L) @ Green Bay (L) vs Pittsburgh (L) vs Cleveland (L) @ Minnesota (winnable) vs Tennessee (L) @ Baltimore (L) vs Chicago (winnable as I think CHI is a little overrated but probable L) @ Indy (winnable but probable L) Takeaway: Probably our biggest "contender" for #1. We have a 1 game "lead" but they don't have many winnable games left and of the ones that are, I wouldn't bet on them to win any of them. Atlanta: @ Carolina (winnable) vs Denver (winnable) @ NO (L) vs Las Vegas (winnable) vs NO (L) @ LAC (winnable) vs Tampa Bay (L) @ KC (L) @ Tampa Bay (L) Takeaway: Similar to the Giants, feel pretty good that they'll win 3-4 games total this year which will take them out of the running for #1. Houston > Miami: @ JAX (winnable) @ CLE (probable L) vs New England (winnable) @ Detroit (winnable) vs Indy (winnable) @ Chicago (winnable, again I think CHI is overrated) @ Indy (winnable) vs Cincy (winnable) vs Tennessee (L) Takeaway: I would not be surprised to see Houston go on a late season run, finish 8-8, and sneak into the playoffs this year. A lot of that will hinge on Deshaun but could see them winning the vast majority of their games left. Minnesota: @ GB (L) vs Detroit (winnable) @ Chicago (L) vs Dallas (winnable) vs Carolina (winnable) vs JAX (winnable) @ Tampa Bay (L) vs Chicago (winnable) @ NO (L) @ Detroit (winnable) Takeaway: Same boat as the Giants/Falcons IMO. They end up in the 3-5 wins range which will take them out of the running for #1 IMO. Too many winnable games left. Cincinnati: vs Tennessee (L) @ Pittsburgh (L) @ Washington (winnable) vs Giants (winnable) @ Miami (winnable) vs Dallas (winnable) vs Pittsburgh (L) @ Houston (L) vs Baltimore Takeaway: Of the current 1 win teams, they may be #2 behind JAX in terms of our biggest "contender" for the #1 pick. A few winnable games but you don't feel great about them. Probably wind up with 2-4 wins. I didn't go into the 2 win teams because I would be shocked at this point if the Jets end up with 2 wins. We have, at most, 3 winnable games left (@LAC, vs MIA, vs LV) but even those are probable L's. I could see us pulling one of those out but I can't see any other wins left on the schedule.
Seattle lost their first game last night. There is currently 1 undefeated team (Steelers) and six 1 loss teams (Seattle/Baltimore/Green Bay/Tennessee/Chicago/Kansas City). If the season ended today. Where exactly would our Jets draft in the 1st round with the Jamal pick?
The Jets are not going to beat the Chargers, Dolphins or Raiders. Miami has scored almost 2x more than the Jets, Raiders 2x and Chargers 1.5x. Are we magically going to score 20 pts to beat any of these teams? The only team I think the Jets may beat is Seattle because Seattle’s defense is horrible and the Jets defense may have something to prove facing Jamal.
