    So you are saying we suck and our uniforms are terrible even though you haven't seen them. At least it's consistent to your username.

    WHY?

    WTF have we done to expect 10 wins, you're just another fan with unrealistic expectations more in the hope you can have something to fucking whine about when they don't deliver on your own wild expectation.

    2nd year QB with loads left to learn, new management with players all having to get used to his new way of doing things, the randomness of us having a head coach on D and a head coach on O who is ultimately HC, players still needed in key positions, a draft still to happen.

    But oh no, it is "I expect 10 wins period" o_O

    :rolleyes:

    Wrong..10 wins is hardly unrealistic or a "wild expectation"..What have we done to expect this? >>>>You obviously dont see the talent we have on the roster now both on Offense and Defense Plus, the HC is young ,innovative, and experienced at position (hardly "randomness") ..

    We got 10 wins with Bowles and journeyman Fitz.year one from them.....based on player talent and good coaching TODAY do you see us 6-10? I dont

    Look at the other 2nd year QBs: Both Trubitsky and Goff had great years and team reached Playoffs...10 wins is an improvement for us , maybe not Playoffs, but thats all I am looking for.

    You have been a Jet fan for maybe 5 years ..I have been waiting 50 for a SB return and about 10 to get back to the Playoffs and I am a whiny fan?? lmao

    If you are content with expecting mediocrity year after year be my guest

    Thanks for the angry comment ..have a nice day

    10 wins is not unrealistic. With the additions on offense and the expectation that Sam takes a year 2 leap, it's entirely within the realm of expectation, assuming health.

    I know I'm on ignore because you do that to everyone who makes you look stupid, but for the others in the room...

    One of the dumbest things you can do is project a win total for a team with a new coach, 2nd year QB, a defensive philosophy change, a new defensive anchor and a patchwork offensive line. Do I want 10 wins? Of course. On paper, is 10 wins out of the question? Not at all. But a lot of people have ended up looking stupid by going with what's on paper in March.

    Darnold finished the season fantastically, there's reason for optimism. We upgraded the O a bunch, but Goff still had more weapons than Sam does now and a head coach that knows what he's doing with them. Gase hasn't displayed that ability. The blind faith thrown behind him is as baffling as you thinking Trubisky had a great year.

    Also I'm not quite sure the guy with a reference to Ken O'Brien as his user name has only been a fan for 5 years, but whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better...

    This isn't the United Nations. We can project based on what we see. It's going to be OK if we're wrong. But the Jets have taken decent steps this offseason and have a QB trending to progress. So why can't fans be excited and think 10 wins is possible? It is possible.

    I mean I'm pretty sure I said in the post you quoted that 10 wins isn't out of the question.

    You're confusing "possible" with "expected". The lame guy said he expects it, and that's just him setting himself to be upset.

    Writing WRONG doesn't make you right, oh and thanks for reading any of the posts that I have made which will blatantly tell you how long I have been a Jets fan, so take your 5 year insult and shove it.

    The team is capable of winning 10 games but that isn't what you typed was it, you said EXPECT PERIOD!!!! this is a totally different scenario, so if they don't surpass you wild demand because that is what EXPECT PERIOD really is, don't come on here whining, yes whining about it.

    Normal folk will hope for the best, cheer for the wins but if we don't reach 10 wins they will also not be throwing themselves off the nearest bridge after season three of a complete overhaul and rebuild.

    BTW if you think that was angry then you must spend your weekends in a monastery were they adhere to a strict code of silence :rolleyes:

    NYJetsO12 is not lame. He's a fan and stating what he thinks is possible and he expects to happen. It's a Jets fan site. If we can't be optimistic now, when can we be? It's not like his job is working for ESPN or SI and what he says goes out nationally, but those guys makes lots of mistakes too. If you disagree with him fine, but don't make it personal. That doesn't hurt him, it only discredits and demeans you.

    I didn't say it was unrealistic, he also didn't say it was a realistic possibility but it was an "I EXPECT 10 WINS PERIOD!!! " nobody in their right mind would expect 10 wins from us and certainly not a guy who has been a fan for 50 years, you would think he would have learnt a lesson by now.

    There is a huge difference between hope, want and EXPECT.

    He's lame because he blocks people that he disagrees with which is exactly what you just said demeans me. So by your definition...

    Either way, for the third time, the issue is EXPECTING 10 wins. That's just not realistic. You can't take a 4 win team and add 6 wins based solely off the additions they made in March. I absolutely think it's possible. I think we'll be in the 8-10 win range personally. But EXPECTING it is just setting yourself up to be let down.

    Exactly what I meant and have probably just said myself.

    I support the notion that this team has made positive strides and taken some pretty decent steps in becoming more competitive. It starts with a new CS that at least on paper proves to be far more effective than our past group. I want to see what Gase can do with an up and coming QB. All being equal I certainly expect from the CS change alone a far more prepared team, able to adjust on the fly and not collapse in the 4th quarter with bone head play calling. Better weapons for Sam and some leadership in the D should gives us more chances and we are not done yet. I fully expect this team to be in the running in December, and admire Jet fans still optimistic for a winning season with as many as ten wins. Yes, I think is possible, and it is what we should hope for. If we start the season with low expectations and think like a looser, we might very well get what we wish for.

    No, he isn't. The moderators ask that we put people on ignore that we disagree with strongly and so we don't make personal attacks on the board. He's doing what he's supposed to and to my recollection, has never made a personal attack on any other poster here. You aren't doing as they requested by calling him "lame," and saying his expecting 10 wins is "dumb." If he wants to set himself up for disappointment or frustration, then that's his business and his right. We all have expectations, whether we state them here or not. I'm asking you to knock off the personal attacks demeaning him and his opinions.

    This thread is getting ugly for no reason.

    I have been happy with the offseason moves. The only negative is that Anthony Barff backed out. We still have needs at C, OLB, and CB but if the Jets can draft better, there is real reason for optimism this season.

    Again, I will wait until the preseason to make any predictions for W/L record.

    It’s highly unusual for elite talent in their prime makes it to FA. 2 of them did this year and the Jets got BOTH. Combine that with trading for the best OL that changed teams and I’d say this has been a fantastic start to the offseason.

    Hopeful the draft will bring in more talent to add to the core going forward which is starting to shape up pretty nicely.

    If Gase and Darnold work our the way I expect them to we should be in for an exciting era of Jets football that hopefully ends with that elusive Lombardi.

    Al in all better than I expected, much better.

    I am happy with everything they have done apart from not getting a vet center and hiring Gase. Unfortunately hiring Gase might ruin all the good stuff, hopefully i am wrong and we are great. Mac has done ok to quite well, the draft is now key for pass rushers and building blocks for the o-line. If Mac does that well then who knows. My optimism will build and build then come August i will be looking at the schedule like '11-5 is achievable'. On to the draft now.
