HOME Buffalo, Miami, New England, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Oakland/Kansas City. The last opponent gets a slash because it could be one of those teams. The Jets will face whomever finishes the AFC West in the same position as they do. As the Jets are in 3rd, it most likely will be the Oakland Raiders, but if the Jets lose on Sunday and somehow are in last place, they will face the Kansas City Chiefs. ROAD Buffalo, Miami, New England, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Carolina, Tennessee/Jacksonville. The slash here is for the same reason as above. If the Jets finish in 3rd, it will be the Titans, if they somehow end up in last, Jacksonville will be the Jets opponent. Looking at this schedule, it sure isn’t easy. It doesn’t seem like a .500 team’s schedule, that’s for sure.
It's gonna suck when 20-25,000 of those terrible towels make their way into Metlife stadium. Last time against them at home it felt like a road game.
Dam...no good road trips this year. Cinci..yuck. Carolina possibly, should be a bunch of Jet fans there.
For a home-opener the crowds usually show up. Those fucks travel well regardless, but as the season opener, Jets fans have their hopes set on high. Unless we get a pre-season like this pre-season...then we fucked.
The OP is wrong. The Jets can't finish last. They will finish 2nd or 3rd. San Diego/Oakland and Indy/Tennessee
I pretty sure that we can not finish in last place even if the Bills beat us. We have the tie breaker in common games, so we will be at worst 3rd, and cold possibility finish second if we win and the Dolphins lose. I think the Dolphins losing is a given, but I am not so sure about a win against the Bills. I changed the potential matchups in your post which are now in bold for next years 2nd place and 3rd place finishers, since that is where we will finish.
LOL, how so? The system is set up to rotate through the divisions, and everybody in our division has the same schedule except for two games...in those two games, the worse you are, the worse your opponent is...in theory anyway. This year, everyone in our division plays everyone in the AFC North and the NFC South. That's 8 games. Add playing everyone in the AFC East twice, and that's 14 games. Like I said, there are only 2 games that are different two those in our division. Those two games don't look all that tough. You should already know all this. I can't grasp how you think the Jets are being shafted here. Might be harder to make a Wildcard with this schedule (maybe not), but that's nothing to whine about.
The AFC north again? Seems like we just played them.Oh well at least we get the Steelers at home.I`m surrounded by Steeler fans
So out of this schedule where do you see the primetime possibilities. NE is always an option it seems be it home or on the road. For the home schedule I would guess Pitt or NO. For the road either Balt,Cin or Atl. We wont get as many primetime games as in the past few years but everybody gets one now. I will guess the Jets get two next year. One at home and one on the road I say Pitt and NE respectively.
I'm going to be at the panthers game. I go to NC state, so I'm close to Charlotte. As for prime time games, we will probably be Sunday night at the Patriots. That's all I can really think of.
I know each team has to play at least 1, but I wish it were none. I know they were competitive with Houston, but the other games were abortions with the announcers straight up mocking them (rightfully so). I wish we could take a pass on Primetime until the ship is righted.
Every team gets at least one so no escaping it. But bad teams end up just with 1 Thursday game. I hope this is the case for us next year. Just 1 Thursday game and that's it.
