Can the Jets make the playoffs? (1 Viewer)

If they can beat Buffalo at home and Miami on the road, I say they're in at 10-6.

CHI: L

HOU: W

@GB: W (yes, they'll beat them at Lambeau)

BUFF: ?

@MIN: L

@MIA: ?

OAK: W

 
A split is more likely but after they beat the Pats, I believe. They COULD make the playoffs.

Damn I used to have a chart that showed %s of wins-losses that make it into the playoffs. 10-6 isn't exactly a lock.

At any rate, teams that start off 5-4 make the playoffs less than 50% of the time.

 
It looks like there's a good chance that a 10-6 team will get one wildcard this year. The #6 wildcard frontrunners are the Jets, Jags and Chiefs all with 4 losses. Last year the Chiefs finished 10-6 and missed the final wildcard.

 
Chiefs will get in......

I see one loss left on the schedule, if they weather the short week for DEN.

@ CLEV

vs. BAL

@ SD

@ OAK

vs. JAX

I am conceding the @ SD game. Other than that, KC should win every game. I base that one the record @ home in DEC, and OAK being an inferior team. The game that could bite KC would be @ CLEV.

Pittsburgh thought so too.It's a division game, never sleep on those.

The remaining KC sched is tougher than you may think. I don't see how the Bal and Jax games, albeit they are at home, are gimmes... They both have the defense that can bail out their offense to win a game if neccessary. Plus, I can personally attest, there will be a game in here down the stretch where Edwards cracks under pressure and blows a game due to play calling and/or time management. I'd be surprised if KC gets the last wildcard, based on remaining sched, out of the three 5-4 teams. (KC, Jax, NYJ)

As a fellow Jets fan, you should know better than to be so optimistic. <_< I think they have a decent shot, but we've seen this before when the lose very winnable games down the stretch.

The Chiefs will lose to Denver , Baltimore , San Diego , Jacksonville .They cant beat any of those teams no chance .They are going to struggle against Cleveland but will win.SO not even close to make the playoffs.

SO not even close to make the playoffs.
Jacksonville can beat any team in the NFL AND lose to any team in the NFL. So, saying that a 5-4 team has no chance of beating Jacksonville has not been paying attention.

Kevin, I live in KC also and realize that the Chiefs have an outstanding...maybe even blind faith fanbase. But there is no way the Chiefs make the playoffs. They were 10-6 last year and didn't make it and AT BEST this year they will be 9-7 (I originally predicted 8-8). Their O-line is laughable, they are taking on more and more injuries and now they have a QB controversy. Those things never end well. My preseason predictions for them were 8-8 and like I said, I could see them maybe going 9-7 and in a tough AFC conference I just don't see it.Here's how I had it prognosticated from preseason:My Prediction: Bengals - L @ Denver - L San Fran - W @ Arizona - W @ Pittsburgh - L San Diego - W (I was batting 1.000 to this point)Seattle - L @ St. Louis - W @ Miami - L (At this point I am 8-1)Oakland - W Denver - L @ Cleveland - W Baltimore - W @ San Diego - L @ Oakland - W Jacksonville - L Actual:LostLostWonWonLostWonWonWonLost???????Of their remaining games I assumed they will sweep Oakland, but division games are always sketchy. I predicted them beating Baltimore but that is looking less likely. The Chiefs always have trouble with Florida teams and Jacksonville has beaten the Chiefs at Arrowhead in the past.There is a very slight chance they could go 10-6 but the cards would have to fall just right. Realistically, I see them 8-8 and no better than 9-7.

Don't sleep on the 10-6 Dolphins.
If the Dolphins somehow win a few more games, people will look back at the terrible coaching job in losing some easy win early in the year. The Dolphins will need a lot of luck and health to sniff 10-6 and probably even 9-7.Onto the Jets, I have a hard time saying a team that can't stop the run or run well itself can or will make the playoffs.

As a Jets fan, I'm still in 'Rebuilding Mode" and I realize the only reason this is a discussion is because of the incredibly favorable schedule they have.... I'm not getting caught up in all this and as I look at the schedule I still won't chalk up a W against any team this year.... It's still a year to tweak lineups and continue to develop.BUT, They have been spending the year installing the 3-4 defense and made some changes over the Bye Week, Mixing Dewayne Robertson up a bit at DE, and using a lot more blitzes... Their play the past week was extremely encouraging stopping the run And getting to the QB. They let up 1 bad run all game, certainly not what we have seen in the past watching the Jets Defense get dragged up and down the field.Same thing for the OL.... Word is people around the NFL are quite impressed with Mangold, and Brick is more than holding his own....Kendall looks great as well and is the wiley Vet of the unit. Another unit that seems to be getting better each week.... The way they were blowing holes open last week could make even Kevin Barlow look good, HEY WAIT!!! ; )

Ok lets say they beat Jax.

They have 6 games left . they will finish at best 9-7 no chance for playoff .

 
after looking at the reamaining schedules for the three 5-4 AFC teams, Jax is in the driver's seat for the final wildcard.

Jax: lock for 10-6; NYG, @Buf, @Mia, Ind, Ten, NE, KC

NYJ: will need to beat Buf and Mia to go 10-6; Chi, Hou, @GB, Buf, @Min, @Mia, Oak

KC: forget it 8-8 at best: Oak, Den, @Cle, Bal, @SD, @Oak, Jax

Even if the Jets do manage to go 10-6, they would still lose out as Jax crushed them head-to-head. oh, well.

not a bad start for a rookie coach to have a legitimate shot at the playoffs in his first season. I'm good with that for this year.

This is a stupid thread. Last week, everyone was assuming the Jets were headed to a 9-7 at best, b/c they were definitely going to lose to the Patriots. Very little point in trying to predict specific games and getting all worked up about it.

As for the Jets, I'd say that since they are only one game behind the Pats, they still have a shot at the division, not jsut the wildcard. That said, I suspect they will lose to Chicago, and then will have to win five of the last six. While they will probably be favored in nearly every game, I don't know that they have the character to be that consistent yet.

yeah it is kinda silly, sorta like trying to predict season stats for specific NFL players and making imaginary teams consisting of those players and getting all worked up about them with a bunch of other guys on an internet forum. ;)
 
A few posts up I saw that Jax was a LOCK for 10-6...

Can you explain how a team that loses twice to the Texans is a LOCK for anything?

 
I've looked at this, and it comes down to the Bears game. It's a classic trap game for the Bears sandwiched between games with the Giants and Pats. Aside for the additional W, if the Jets do beat the Bears (which I don't expect) it means that they have adapted to the new schemes they installed this year and are a better team than they appeared to be.

If they do find some way to beat Chicago, they (and we) will know that they can play with the best teams in both the AFC and NFC. It's all about the Bears game.

I agree. I was psyched to see the Bears knock off the Jints. Not that they won't come to play, but as you say, I hope there's some element of a trap involved. If Miami can do it, maybe the Jets can pull it off as well.

Sorry, but the Jets have no chance at Lambeau.HTH
This is 2006, not 1996.
LOL @ people who think the Packers can only win vs. DET, SF, etc....everytime the Packers play a "good" team they can't win. Please.
I don't recall saying that the Packers can only beat bad teams. Rather, I was saying that the Lambeau advantage seems to be quite diminished relative to years past. Seems like you were the one speaking in hyperbolic terms with regard to the Jets having no shot in Lambeau.

good point, but Jax still has a great D. I can't explain Houston.
