I like how everybody assumes we win against ALL the bad teams when history suggests differently. It is almost a lock that we sh*t the bed against one of the 4 weak teams.
Good thing I am not...but if this floats your boat Jac W @NE L Car W @Buf Toronto L @TB W Atl W Indy L Cincy W (last regular season game at the Meadowlands) just because =9-7 Anyway you slice it
After reading this, I don't see our wildcard chances being so good. This kind of put it into perspective. There are so many teams above us that are better than us. The thing that killed us (besides losing winable games) is that teams like the Broncos and Bengals are winning their divisions unexpectedly, leaving us to compete for a wildcard against solid teams like the Steelers, Chargers, and Ravens. I haven't given up, but it's looking rough when you look at it this way. http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/5902/keep-an-eye-on-the-afc-wild-card-race Keep an eye on the AFC wild-card race November 9, 2009 7:34 AM Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham For all you New York Jets fans who took glee in watching San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers execute that thrilling drive to beat the New York Giants in the closing moments Sunday, you're rooting interests were misplaced. That victory could haunt your Jets when it comes to making the playoffs. Some might deem it too early to start looking at the playoff picture, with only half of the season played. But I thought it would be a good time to let you know which teams you should be cheering against down the homestretch. Below are the AFC standings heading into Monday night's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos. They are listed by overall record (with division and conference records). None of the teams that are tied has played the other head-to-head, which is the first tiebreaker, with division record the second tiebreaker. Next is record against common opponents. Conference record comes fourth. In the Jets' case, their best shot to make the playoffs will be as one of the two wild cards. But don't just look at the records as we move through the season. The real devil is the number of teams you must leapfrog to get into sixth place. So, root for the Broncos, Jets fans. You don't want another potential wild-card team to get cozy up there. 1. Indianapolis Colts 8-0 (3-0, 4-0) 2. Denver Broncos 6-1 (2-0, 5-1) 3. Cincinnati Bengals 6-2 (4-0, 4-2) 4. New England Patriots 6-2 (2-1, 4-2) 5. Pittsburgh Steelers 5-2 (1-1, 3-1) 6. San Diego Chargers 5-3 (3-1, 4-3) 7. Houston Texans 5-3 (1-2, 4-3) 8. Jacksonville Jaguars 4-4 (2-2, 3-2) 9. Baltimore Ravens 4-4 (1-2, 4-3) 10. New York Jets 4-4 (1-3, 4-3) 11. Miami Dolphins 3-5 (3-1, 3-3) 12. Buffalo Bills 3-5 (2-2, 1-4)
Since '06 we've played pretty well after our bye, except for '07 because we were trash, I have the same feeling, even last year after our bye the entire team played better, if Favre didn't get his throwing arm torn up, who knows how far we would've gone in the playoffs. :jets::jets:
our scenario is simple...WIN!...the only thing we need is to beat the jags and the pats to lose next week...then we go to new england for a 1st place divisional game...we can still win this division...
