hammerva Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Given that the Jets are starting Hackenburg against the Pats and the Patriots usually don't take the foot off the gas no matter the record, I think being content with the #2 seed is fine. Everyone knows that Ben is one play away from a season ending injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets were in salary cap hell coming into this season, and since they knew they were not going to be a playoff team, they took the measures needed (cutting and trading guys) to deal with it. Sure, they only have five wins, but they had chances to win at least four more games. Keep drafting quality players, get a better quarterback, and I think they are on the right track.

If they had a coach who knew how to actually coach they very well could've won those 4 games and been in the playoffs. Bowles may be the worst in game coach in the entire league.

Brian Fowler Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Weren't people predicting the Jets to be the worst team in the NFL going into the season? With possibly the worst offense ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles may be a great motivator but he is just an awful coach when it comes to actual games. When you watch their games you end up saying "what in God's name was he thinking with that call/decision?" at least a half dozen times and usually more than that.

Death From Above Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I never bought the Jets as the bottom of the league team, in the same league with Cleveland, an Andrew Luck-less Colts, and the 49ers (who I didn't see having a huge resurgance with a new QB). If nothing else they play a hard nosed brand of football that was going to steal a couple wins against more talented teams having a lazy day.

pipGofern Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The Landry Jones led Steelers are favored by 14 over the Browns. After watching the first two series, I think that might've been set too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew, because they moved the three games that meant something for the playoffs from 1 PM to 4 PM to leave the void. If Jets/Pats or Giants/Redskins had playoff implications, they would have moved them instead. Seems like an odd time to defend they league, they admittedly moved every meaningful game for the playoffs out of the 1 PM timeslot for the first time ever, it wasn't a pre-determined thing back in August. Now I have to watch Steelers/Browns instead of the Ravens, Bills, or Titans. Hooray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Not sure who is more worried right now: Hue Jackson after telling people last year he would jump in Lake Erie if they went winless this year or Eagles fans realizing that Nick Foles is your playoff QB.
