There's a line NOBODY would have predicted would be said before this season started.
I was thinking the same thing, except Kitna was my choice. Sanchez isn't being helped out by some horrid drops, but he HAS to play better.
The more I think about it, the more I think this is the case. There really is no shot they win the next two games, and then week 17 will be too late. Essentially, they needed to beat MIA to get in. Pretty pathetic.
Not if their horrid play continues. They are awful right now. I don't know what happened to their running game, but it's totally out of sync. You can't blame it on Slauson either, as I saw Moore get beat a few too many times, as well. It also sucks that Hunter is in for Woody, as his footwork was exposed against Wake time after time. ETA: Now imagine Hunter against Peppers...Harrison... It's going to be a long off-season if this ship doesn't alter its course
Neither is an underperforming offensive line which is also hurting the run game.Defense will continue to play well (Pats game aside) and that should be enough to get them in.So, I think the Jets will make the playoffs and then - unless the offense wakes the heck up - implode. Like someone said above, they are trending in the WRONG direction right now. The offense needs to look in the mirror and decide they still have it in them to play well.Shamwow said:
Same can be said for Miami though.... Very similar recent history (30 years). The head to head probably slightly favors the Jets.No matter what the respective records, the teams give eachother a battle....Hey, Miami swept the jets last year, I never even said the Jets were any better than Miami.I went into this season saying miami even had the more experienced QB.
So how did they beat the Browns and the Lions?
AgreedRegardless of their respective records each year it is close to impossible to predict who wins when they play each other every year. The Jets & Dolphins are very similar - a few good/bad bounces either way and their records would be the same.LOT of people bashing the Jets today saying they lost to an inferior team - no one giving credit to these 2 guys:The punter for the Dolphins was the MVP of the game.Cameron Wake was a beast and abused the Jet who subbed for WoodyOne of these years we're going to have to watch one of these games together Reaper - either at Mulcs or another local watering hole.
The collapse is well underway. They got lucky a few games and now the true colors are showing. They do not have the QB to take them where they want to go this year.Super Bowl.Bwahhhhhahahahahaha.
I dunno seems to me the expectations based on the past few weeks are realistic. They are struggling at the worst possible time and lining up against two very tough teams in the last few weeks. We're all hoping for wins but based on the last two weeks, nobody should be ordering champagne.If we were unaminously callign for a playoff run, people would be in here telling us we're delusional. Can't win.
Bears/Steelers are VERY tough games given how poorly they've played as of late.It's not giving up on a team, still think they'll be able to squeak one out against one of these guys, but I don't see how anyone can say these won't be extremely tough games given how they've struggled against strong defenses this year.
You guys lost to a red hot Patriots team, then dropped one to a division rival that always seems to play tough. You're still in the lead for the wild card as of right now. Pittsburgh is obviously a tough game, but Chicago is very beatable, and the Bills should be a fairly easy W. You've already got 9 wins, and you've got the lead on the second tiebreaker (conference record). I think Baltimore gets the 5th seed (having beaten the Jets earlier this season), but the Jets would seem to have the best shot at the 6th seed.
Over the last 9 weeks, the Bills have scored 169 points and allowed 178 points. The Jets have scored 138 and allowed 161. Jets have no shot against Pittsburgh, will drop an ugly one to Chicago, and will be embarrassed on their home field against the Bills. The Jets are NFC West bad.

And since the beginning of the season, the Jets have scored 273 points and allowed 242, while the Bills have scored 256 points and allowed 339. What is the reason that you are choosing to look only at the last 9 weeks?
I think he's trying to work a reverse gooch.
I know what he's doing. It's why I'm trying to work a double-reverse gooch.
Always thinking 2 steps ahead. Then again, wouldn't you want the Jets in the playoffs at this point? What's more fun for a Pats fan - the Jets not making the playoffs, or getting to beat the Jets in the playoffs?I know what he's doing. It's why I'm trying to work a double-reverse gooch.
Does it really matter to the Pats who they "get to beat" - SD, Jets, Colts.....I'd bet at this point the only thing for sure is that they would love to whup the Ravens after last year..Always thinking 2 steps ahead.

Because the Jets have played like garbage over the past two months, the Bills have played decently the past two months, and neither of those trends seem likely to change over the last three weeks?And since the beginning of the season, the Jets have scored 273 points and allowed 242, while the Bills have scored 256 points and allowed 339.

I was thinking about the backpage headlines today - I knew this would be the photo. I came up with: "Dropping Fast"
I was thinking that the Ravens are the one team the Pats probably would prefer not to see. Certain teams are just tough match-ups for certain opponents, and the Ravens seem to match up well with New England.Does it really matter to the Pats who they "get to beat" - SD, Jets, Colts.....I'd bet at this point the only thing for sure is that they would love to whup the Ravens after last year..Always thinking 2 steps ahead.

I can't personally say that you're wrong, since I haven't looked at the standings/tiebreakers, but FWIW they've been saying on TV all day that the Jets would (and just did) clinch a playoff spot with a Jacksonville loss.ETA: Jets own the strength of victory tiebreaker over SD, so they definitely clinched today with the Jax loss.
Yes, SD is out. They aren't quite on the same level as the Ravens, Jets, or Bears. They got started too late.
Well I trusted the Yahoo playoff scenario generator. In the event that the Chargers and Jets tie for the wild card at 10-6, we go to tiebreakers.
I do believe SD can still pass the Chiefs by winning out and the Chiefs losing week 17Yes, SD is out. They aren't quite on the same level as the Ravens, Jets, or Bears. They got started too late.
