This is the most absurd thing I have ever read! How can they project over / under's before the draft? We don't have an NFL caliber QB on our roster yet thank you JD / James Morgan. Talk to me in June or July after the draft and OTA's at least.
Assuming Wilson is the pick and a solid, if not spectacular draft, to along with a seemingly similar venture into FA - I see 5 wins at best. Most likely there's going to be growing pains with rookie HC/QB/OC. Another solid draft/FA gets this team to 8-9 wins in 2022. With a legit playoff run in 2023...
It's Vegas, they had odds if Knowshon Moreno cry during the National Anthem, you can get odds on almost anything.
Take the under. I do not see how anyone thinks we will win 7 games next year. Vegas will probably be right and the Jets will win 6 and nobody wins but the book.
I feel like all these Under predictions must feel Adam Gase was not the problem in New York. Sam Darnold was not the problem. This team is terrible and will be terrible with a new Head Coach and QB. Plus many other upgrades. I disagree. Look at these teams on the schedule: -Jacksonville -Cincinnati -Philadelphia -Houston -Denver -Atlanta -Carolina All winnable games. That is 7 right there. I don't think the Jets are losing all 6 games against the AFC East this season either. That leaves the Colts (who knows how they will be with Carson Wentz), The Saints (without Drew Brees), The Titans (which is a home game) and the World Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers (tough, but a good test). Maybe the Jets will only win 6 games or less, but that would be disappointing and discouraging.
Not really. It's the coach's first year. If a 6-10 record is despite very solid play but with a team that still needs built, that's not discouraging. It means as the team builds, so will the wins.
That's true. Team building and progress will be the main focus of 2021. If they are doing that, then (6-11) can look more optimistic. I just feel they will be better than people think. That would still be a 4 win improvement though.
By speculating, getting action on both sides, gradually adjusting the line accordingly, and raking in millions of dollars in vig.
It's a road game, but I think the Panthers have not shown anything to think they are unbeatable. They were 5-11 last year, but similar to the Jets, I expect them to improve in 2021. We still have a lot of team-building variables to go into each team before making predictions, but at the moment, I think that is a winnable game.
As long as you’re not a dumpster fire like we were last season, almost any game is winnable besides for the top few teams (and if fans I would argue away only). We beat the Rams and Browns last year with a pathetic squad.
Sam should be behind a real NFL O-line for the first time in his career. That should help his durability. Even after JD's rebuild of the Jets' O-line last season the Jets were the 29th ranked O-line in the NFL last year according to PFF. The Panthers by comparison were ranked 18th. According to PFF here are the rankings of the O-Lines the Jets put in front of Darnold in his 3 years in New York 2018 25th 2019 28th 2020 29th https://www.pff.com/news/pro-2018-nfl-offensive-line-rankings-all-32-teams-units-after-week-17 https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-rankings-following-2019-regular-season https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2020-offensive-line-rankings You can fairly knock Sam for some things but blaming him for not staying healthy behind the turnstiles Mccagnan and JD put out in front of him isn't one of them.
I would never make this bet this early. I always wait for draft, preseason games and the final roster. In my mind I had o/u line of 5 to 5.5 but that was before the 17th game was added. The coaching change alone is 3 more wins.
Carolina probably gets us if Darnold is healthy. The kid is gonna want to kick the Jets asses. But I suppose its a big 'IF' he's healthy hopefully we get Cincy early in the year before Burrow gets 100%. Houston and Philly will be trash. They could be our only non-division wins
