It would depend on how the team plays. If they play like crap and Houston plays worse and we squeek out a win, I mean yeah the win is nice but I'll still be greatly concerned. If they play lights out and just straight up beat Houston, that will answer a lot of concerns, at least for a week.
No. Even the really good teams have a bad week GB, NE, SF... The way we played the last three weeks has left an impression on my mind that will be hard to erase. No mistake, I'd be happy with the win, but I wouldn't put any money on the Indy game the following week. And who ever's thinking our schedule gets a lot easier, you'd better look again. We have maybe 3 should wins, the rest could easily go either way.
3-2 is 3-2. I'd put money on the Jets to beat Indy in MetLife if they'd just beat the Texans, no matter what the circumstances of the win. Assuming no melt down on the part of the FO/owner and a switch to Tebow I only see two games the rest of the season that are likely losses - those being the Patriots games. I see every other game on the schedule as a toss-up after that and so I see the Jets as finishing with 7 to 9 wins. If the Jets melt down and put in Tebow then I see maybe 5 wins overall.
If they win, then they win. Who cares what the papers write? Do you think the Giants care people call their Super Bowl (2) lucky? We win, we are 3-2 and that is it. Fluke, luck, barely, ref help, whatever - I could careless. Win is a win.
If we beat the Texans and Tebow has even one positive yardage play the headlines will read "Tebow takes over, leads Jets to victory...what took them so long?".
Can't watch that enough! Wonder if the Texans will play that for their team to get the 'revenge factor' ramped up?
Even if the Jets win it'll only delay the overreaction train. Honestly this fan base is like a plague. They will root for everyone and anyone to be fired. If you put on the green and white, "the fix is in" as Stephen A Smith says. There is a consistency to the great franchises that the Jets haven't seen yet. I pray the Jets have the balls to stare down the media and the haters and start treating the organization like an elite organization rather than your typical shit storm "three year reboot" organization. If you need proof, go to any thread that promotes getting rid of Revis. The guy is possibly the greatest to ever play the position and people want to jettison him too. Nothing is ever good enough with this franchise. Ridiculous.
The Jets had that consistency when the owner was Sonny Werblin and the coach was Weeb Ewbank. This thing is ultimately going to be resolved by Woody Johnson and the people he has running the show for him. One way or the other. George Steinbrenner was just a loud-mouthed meddling hack when he took over the Yankees. It took a lot of luck (Hello Free Agency and thank you for being such an ass Charlie Finley!) and a lot of perseverance and a lot of learning on his part to turn the Yankees back into a serious contender again. It took a great management team in Torre and Cashman for him to make them the flagship franchise in baseball again. It took a huge cash investment and an amazing continuing cash flow operation for both developments to occur. Woody is still very early in the process. He's either going to figure it out or the Jets are going to be a mediocre franchise. In the NFL the owner isn't just the most important thing, he's everything because until you get a good one nothing else is going to go right. Just look at Mike Brown in Cincy. The Jets minus the cash investment.
If we beat the Texans, then I bet we lose to the Colts next week. Colts was only game I thought we would for sure. I have no idea what will happen next week, this or any week.
Tthis is a load of BS. Those advocating trading Revis are presenting a sound logical argument that it doesn't make sense to invest that large a percentage of team salary to one guy playing CB, no matter how good he is. You can disagree with their position, and argue that having a great CB is mandatory for winning, but that comes down to a difference of opinion.
It's easy to see it that way when looking solely at that individual position. Look at the bigger picture and it almost always points to "get rid of them, bring in (name rookie or big time free agent)". There doesn't appear to be much interest in the Jets building a legitimate team. It's as though Woody Johnson himself has multiple registered accounts on this site and is promoting the exact mentality he himself seems to have.
And we missed the first try!! If it was not for that timeout loophole or whatever that bull$hit thing is... We would be 1-4...
