I have read over and over on this board how the Jets had to play a much tougher schedule this year which is a factor in why they declined. True last year schedule was fairly easy, but so was this years. This year we played the AFC Central - which had exactly 1 team with a record over .500 We also played the worst division in the NFC (West) which had exactly 1 team with a record over .500. Those 2 divisions have exactly 1 team that was 8-8. This is exactly the same as our rotating schedule was last year, but you can argue the bottom dwellers in last years schedule (Titans, Jags, Cowboys, Giants) were better than the bottom dwellers in this years rotating schedule (Browns, Cincy, Rams and San Fran). Only 2 games factored by record Oakland and Browns last year vs KC and Indy this year - if you count Indy at home vs Oakland away is really only 1 easier game. Yes, we will have the benefit of playing the Browns and Jags next season for finishing last - but the schedule will not be easier than we had this year.
LMAO And with the sterling silver CS we compete and win year after year Get a grip Brother of Woody whatever your name is Fasten safety belt for turbulence ahead SMH
The Jets did what they did this year because of a lot of their better players either got hurt, got old or flatout sucked for the year. They still have the no QB problem and they also have the aging talent problem and they also have the cap money spent in all the wrong places problem going into next year. Best guess right now is that they win 5 to 9 games next year with a vet QB brought in to hold the fort and they miss out on whatever QB's are available in the 2018 draft. That result is schedule independent. It's based solely on how the Jets maintain talent over time, which is to say poorly.
